Stunning Woodlane Wedding Testimonial





















Wow...we had to share this amazing testimonial with you all from a gorgeous bride who just blew us away with her kind words and her appreciation. We just love her and cannot put into words what this means to us, this was our vision and aim when we opened our Boutique and to keep getting feedback like this just melts our hearts!  You are so welcome Abbie, the pleasure was absolutely ours. 


"Hi Kelly, Tash & Linda! I hope you are all well. Sorry for the time it's taken to message you, the last few weeks have been a whirlwind. I just wanted to message to say thank you. The whole wedding dress experience was something I was dreading being a bigger girl. It took me months to pluck up the courage to go and try any on, with the fear of none fitting or my dream of a lace vintage inspired dress being unrealistic for someone my size. After a terrible experiment at another dress shop (where all my above fears happened!) I was so defeated that I almost didn't attend the proposed appointment with you wonderful girls. I'm so glad I came! You were so kind, enthusiastic, understanding and confidence boosting from the get go! You replenished all my upset and dread about finding my dress with elation and joy! I was able to try on every dress that took my fancy at the boutique regardless of size and I found the most beautiful dress Marianne! I cried with delight when I tried her on because she was everything I had dreamt of and more! I felt (and looked!) beautiful in her and I will never be able to thank you enough for that. I am truly saddened that the day and the dress purchasing/ alterations are over because that means my time with all of you wonderful ladies is to. Thank you for making me always feel so welcome and special when I visited. Most importantly thank you for giving me the confidence I needed (and as a bride, deserved) to wear my dress with absolute pride on the day I got married! She (Marianne) blew everyone away, especially Tobe and I have never felt prettier than I did on that day! When we finally get round to thank you cards yours will be on its way I just wanted to message in the mean time to let you know how much of a difference you all made to the day. Apologise for the copious amounts of photos I'm about to send over but I thought you might like to see her in action! Thank you once again. All my love Abbie xxxxx"

SUPER SAMPLE SALE









I hope you have all had a fabulous bank holiday weekend, we at bridal house certainly have. We held a Super Sample Sale which saw some amazing reductions on stunning wedding gowns, beautiful bridesmaid dresses and the sweetest little flower girl dresses. For one day only we had brides in all day discovering their dream dresses and picking up some amazing bargains. On arrival of each appointment the brides, their families and friends were given a glass of bubbly to sip and shop with. What else do you need on a bank holiday? The atomosphere was magical, filled with excitment and emotion as what is the biggest day of their lives was starting to take shape. 

This was an exclusive event that we haven't held before but we couldn't have wished for it to have gone any better with some lovely ladies chosing some breath taking gowns for their big day. In future it is something we would love to hold again with 2 weeks notice to those interested. To keep it special it may only be held once or twice a year so keep your eyes peeled for our next one to book an appointment and pick up some dream dresses and dream prices. 

To all our beautiful brides thank you so much for coming along and we cannot wait to see you all again for your fittings and to see you and dress blossom ready for your special day.

Catwalk Live Show













The Bridal House Of Cornwall hit the big stage at the Hall For Cornwall Bridal Exhibition for the first time this February with a bang and received an amazing response with comments like the show was the best people had seen....which was just fabulous to know that all the prep and vision had paid off!

We were over the moon to have a team of 15 fantastic models and showed off the diversity of some of our top designers through the use of different choreography and music to capture their vibe and inspo.....from swishing stunning, dramatic, Naomi Neoh silks with attitude to 50's style choreography and pin up girl styling for the Rock and roll brides to showcase our house Of Mooshki short and tea length Collection to the utterly ethereal and bohemian, feminine vibe of the Claire Pettibone Romantique "bohemian Rhapsody collection.

The Men's apparel was all from Moss Bross in Truro and showed off a variety of cool tweeds and quirky looks that were very English Country gent and on trend, breaking the mould of predictable for groomsmen.

We can't wait to show you what we can do next year...check out the full video and let us know which are your favourites?

Catwalk Run-Through















In Februrary we held an amazing catwalk show at the Hall For Cornwall in Truro. We had brides swishing our dresses down the catwalk showing off the designs and collections we stock in store and grooms rocking tweed suits from Moss Bro. 

Before the show went ahead we had a fun evening of rehearsals in our boutique with all our models. A magical evening watching the event all come together, with the routines for each brands collection being played out and all the models soaking up the atmosphere ready to perform on stage. Here are some behind the scenes of our rehearsal evening, no event is complete without a few model selfies. 

A big thankyou to Emma Griffin for coming along to snap our beautiful models all evening.
