And on and on...........

I will at some point write a full wedding report with pics ( I have one on my computer that i did for YAYW You and your wedding) However for today suffice to say that everything went really well. I designed everything from the invites to the flowers to the Cheese stack.  We married on a monday which as said previuosly was out 10th anniversary. We had a small wedding at Barnard Castle Reg office with "Martha's Theme" from Doctor who to come in to and we signed the register to the thme from lord Of The Rings. We read "I do not like green eggs and ham" by Dr Suess. We then had photos at the ruins of the castle. It was a beautiful day the hottest april on record! ( typical as I had made 8 velvet cloaks- the previous april it snowed!!) We then had a meal at my Favourite pub "The Spotted Dog".
A week later we had a party for all our friends at Hurworth Grange ( where my studio is) we also held a commitment ceremony we had written ourselves.
Four weeks later we had a garden party ( in the house cos it rained!) for family.
Four months later we had a cherish the dress shoot at Old Wardour Castle down south on our hols.

So I really got my wear out of my Dress!! Four times!! and as it is on display in my studio I get to look at it every day. A dream come true- I sketched it when I was 10 years old and never dreamed it would be brought to life nearly 30 years later.

After my wedding I got more and more clients wanting me to make wedding related stuff. So I decided to launch a new "Arm" to my business. So bexbrides was born to accompany its sister bexrooms. A couple of months ago my colleague who owns a Bridal shop Happily Ever After ( who I do all the bespoke work and alterations for) was convinced by me, to start a new venture to build on our previous seasons success with prom dresses. So a third child was born- bexproms!! and as an outlet for this i devised a madcap idea utilising my sales and partyplan experience ( virgin vie etc etc) and so we came up with cinderellaprom!!

Anyway I am off for my beauty sleep now- fat chance as darling son has woken up every night for the last 3 so fingers crossed.....
