</div>
Anybody remember what a summer wedding looks like? I know it's terribly British of me to moan about the weather, but seriously, how much longer can this go on?<br />
<br />
A handful of my brides this year have been blessed with a beautiful sunny day. Whilst rainy day brides are sending in fun pictures full of Dunkirk spirit and last minute brolly purchases I don't think Annika would have been strolling in front of the wisteria or enjoying the open top car with the steel grey sky and endless rain I am looking at today.<br />
<br />
Annika's Maggie Sottero Mona, in soft chiffon with it's asymmetric neckline, is absolutely the kind of dress the Miss Bush team loves from this famous label. Slim but not fishtail, elegant, structured and with embellishments that sing not bling... <br />
<br />
Once again I am mummy-proud of my Miss Bush bride looking absolutely stunning and outshining any image that Maggie Sottero can produce. Annika is a beautiful bride and she makes Northbrook Park more lovely for her presence<br />

Celebrity endorsement can sometimes backfire absolutely - a PR graveyard. It took six years of visual rehab for me to consider buying Anoushka G dresses after Michelle Heaton wore one (very badly) for her short lived first marriage to Andy Scott Lee. <br />
<br />
Please do not judge me for my encyclopedic knowledge of OK & tabloid featured weddings - it's an occupational hazard. Mercifully this was before the scourge of Google Image search could lead to the permanent brand damage and I can only find one shot of the bride who has seemingly self tanned with creosote.<br />

It cheers me no end to find that a very sane and savvy PR machine has ensured that very cool actresses and The Duchess of Cambridge are papped on the red carpet in Temperley. Above and below are Thandie Newton and Minnie Driver in Temperley Pre Fall at recent premieres in directional bronze lace and the D of C in a black version of the bridal Amoret</div>

In precisely one month Miss Bush is going to the proud stockist of another iconic British label. Temperley London is coming to Ripley.<br />
<br />
Now I know you know we, at Miss Bush, love a frock and you know we love a cocktail! Therefore the arrival of this wonderful collection of dresses gives me the perfect excuse to host a fashion show and party to welcome the brand to the shop. <br />

I was lucky enough to meet <a href="http://www.peggyporschen.com/" target="_blank">Peggy Porschen's</a> PR Stephanie Balls a short while ago and their wonderful cakes and iconic London shop seemed a perfect match to the cool Temperely dresses. I was delighted when Stephanie agreed to become involved with the event and Peggy's cakes will be on show to see and taste.<br />
<br />
It was the iconic shop fronts that inspired the hand drawn invitation by Leah Spicer of <a href="http://goldenappledesigns.co.uk/" target="_blank">Golden Apple</a> - a must visit website for wedding stationery. I squealed with delight when I saw the results she reproduced from my inarticulate rambling brief. <br />
<br />
As if glamorous dresses and cakes were not enough party goers will also be able to marvel up close at inspirational flowers by legends Steph from <a href="http://fairynuff-flowers.co.uk/" target="_blank">Fairynuff Flowers</a> and Gayle from<a href="http://www.bloomingayles.co.uk/" target="_blank"> Bloomingayles</a> who will also be on hand to talk petals if required. <br />

Dresses that makes you breathe slightly shallower, your pulse quicken. Intoxicating, seductive gowns that steal your heart and make your money burn a hole in your pocket. <br />
<br />
This passion, this heady rush is hard to find in dresses that could be called a bargain. I also know my view of a bargain is coloured by being situated 17 miles south west of Fulham in a village that's parking bays look like a Top Gear porn-fest some days. <br />
<br />
In Anouska G, London based Anna and George Hadji's label, I believe I have found a rare combination of unique, head turning, wow-inducing dresses that start from £1000. In the same way that carefully edited Maggie Sottero produces a surprising affordability, Anouska G offers serious red carpet style that easily fits within Miss Bush brides taste and purse.<br />
<br />
From the 7th - 14th July I am holding a mini Trunk Show. George and Anna are loaning Miss Bush beautiful dresses that have yet to hit the rails for you to try and buy. <br />
<br />
Look out for special offers on my favourite style blogs too...<br />

Maggie Sottero and Miss Bush may seem like an incongruous match on the surface. Maggie's advertising images would lead you to believe they do a mean line in meringue and little else.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Miss Bush buying has always reflected our customers eclectic taste and style - located closed to London our brides are savvy shoppers and early adopters of new shapes and trends. They do however demand value for money along with their dress. Maggie therefore has always offered both - even if they do hide that fact under some glamour model styling on line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Suzanne was one of my first brides to buy Presca Marie. It has Miss Bush stamped all over it. It has impeccable corded lace over Maggie Sottero's signature corset structure. The amazing train features a double band of extraordinarily beautiful deep lace edging. The skirt panels feature point d'esprit tulle ( that's the 'fashion' term for spotty!) giving the dress a light and vintage feel. The shape of dress could be described as A line - although in reality the shape is way more refined.</div>

On the left the Rosa Clara dress Adamo that we used to stock that provided the inspiration for Suzanne's lace top to cover her shoulders for church. On the right is Maggie Sottero Presca with it's matching veil. As Maggie Sottero won't sell lace separately Suzanne ordered the dress with the veil and Janet, the Miss Bush production manager, harvested the lace and cut a pattern especially for Suzanne. The Maggie Sottero Presca Marie, below, has a flower belt as opposed to the beaded belt above! As neither belts are brilliant with the dress (I have a particular distrust of diamante teamed with lace) the Miss Bush advice is to get the Presca Marie as it costs less and you can use the flower in your hair!</div>

I love working with other brilliant wedding professionals and I was so pleased that Suzanne chose Sharon to do her hair. Sharon is like a mini wedding planner and runs a very smooth wedding morning. Unflappable to the last- she even accommodated Suzanne's Mother's last minute request for tendrils for her daughter's hair style and tweaked the style to perfection.<br />

<br /></div>
Some dresses are epoch defining. Some dresses have star quality. Some dresses have the power to make brides travel.<br />
<br />
Jenny Packham's Elizabeth is such a dress. Only just discontinued, this dress was one of the first 'grecian' and 'floaty' styles to change brides' perception of the silhouette of a wedding gown. Referencing the past but not costume, deceptively simple and uber flattering to the neat of bust, Elizabeth inspired many homage dresses from lesser labels. As with all design classics this is bound to happen, but if you invest the original you have a beautiful heirloom collector's item destined to be future vintage.<br />
Laura's story of dress discovery has her travelling trans-Atlantic for British icon- <br />
<br />
<br />
"I<em> was in your store last August with my mother and the
aunt of the groom looking for a bridal gown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I am from the California, but my husband is English and so I was staying
in Haslemere for the summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had spent
some time looking for gowns in the US, but wasn't able to find ANYTHING like
what your shop had to offer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I fell in
love with a Jenny Packham gown and made the trip back over the pond in December
to do my final fitting."</em><br />

I actually begged Candy for her wedding photos. Not dignified I know. Candy is beautiful - rocking her Herve Leger inspired Ugo Zaldi dress and nude Louboutins to absolute perfection. The dress was the perfect choice for an intimate wedding at <a href="http://www.surreycc.gov.uk/people-and-community/birth-death-marriage-and-civil-partnerships/district-register-offices/guildford-register-office" target="_blank">Guildford Registry Office</a> followed by lunch at <a href="http://www.olivo.co.uk/" target="_blank">Olivo </a>and a first night at <a href="http://www.brownshotel.com/" target="_blank">Brown's Hotel</a> in Mayfair. All of this loveliness, topped off with hair by Miss Bush favourite <a href="http://wonderfulweddinghair.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sharon Roberts</a>, was not the burning reason I had to use Candy as a poster girl. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to make the women that we dress who don't conform to the outdated notion of what a 'typical' bride is more visible.I want to remove the anxiety women feel coming into a wedding dress shop and feeling that they may be an impostor, that in some way 'they' are not what 'we' expect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In our more serious moments in the shop we discuss and allay these fears. In general we're way, way more shallow and frock obsessed. I mocked up a side bun for Candy as the dress needed an up do and we debated shoes until 'we' decided that the only choice was a pair of nude patent shoes to play down the sexy angle just enough for day time. The wedding may have been Candy's first Louboutin moment but definitely not the last...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would love to thank Candy and John - the new Mr and Mrs Davies - for sharing their photos. My thanks particularly to Candy for breaking one little archaic tradition of never mentioning a woman's age. OK I won't. Let's just say she would have been in the same class as Madonna...</div>

Inside the walls are studded with precious stones, it's floors are laid with sumptous kilims and on benches of the whitest marble fantastical creatures spin wedding dresses from silken threads. Packed in enchanted crystal boxes, swept via magical zephyr to dreaming brides the dresses have spells stiched into every seam...<br />

I have adjusted to the fact that if I want to buy a reasonable, well fitting off the peg dress I nip into Hobbs and the angelic pattern cutters seem to have catered for me in their size 16.<br />
<br />
Wedding dresses would be a different story - if I was advising myself I would suggest I didn't visit a sample sale. Wedding dresses. even if they are a 16, are not cut for a very large cup size. Similarly they are not usually great on the over 5' 10" or in the under 5' 2".<br />
<br />
A sample sale is really best suited to those brides that are sample size - it can be an 8 or a 16 - but it is worth not disappointing yourself with a slightly deflating sale experience.<br />
<br />
Reasonable and practical alterations would be to take a dress down by 1 to 2 sizes, shortening the length, customising and certainly adjusting to a different size top and bottom - all entirely manageable.<br />
<br />
Letting out - crikey no! Letting the hem down - ditto! These are inadvisable and I would not recommend buying a sample dress with these in mind.<br />
<br />
The one exception to this would be adding a larger panel under the lacing of a corset back dress - this could certainly buy you an inch or two.<br />
<br />
Hems, side seams, lifting shoulders, adding bust cups, lingerie carriers, bustling trains - all perfectly practical tasks that our seamstresses perform daily - can be offered for samples.<br />
<br />
Samples sales can be a fabulous steal. Miss Bush staff are trained to continue to advise with integrity and to not let the spectre of red pen bargains overwhelm common sense.<br />

I am so wedded to my bestsellers they are not going anywhere. Like the story of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Velveteen_Rabbit" target="_blank">The Velveteen Rabbit</a> they have been loved to scruffiness and would not survive a dry clean without disintegrating. <br />
<br />
<br />
One of the best type of dress to buy is something cool and different. These are the kind of dresses for brides who are actively looking for a slightly left field look whilst remaining emphatically bridal. Miss Bush loves a niche dress and fresh looks at a classic styles, hence we have a lot of love for Jesus Peiro. <br />
<br />
<br />
Jesus Peiro Style 2017 is just such a dress - twisting expectations of a strapless dress into a chic minimal gown with plenty of wow factor. A detachable train also means it is great for a wedding that is going to change quickly from formal to fun.<br />

Abstract round numbers are added to spreadsheets which sometimes seem perfectly adequate until you go shopping only to discover differently.<br />
<br />
A couple of the prices that I hear on the phone as figures set for the dress are £500 and £1000. I know that this is a fair amount of money for a dress but with the escalating costs of fabrics, production, carriage and VAT that manufacturers, designers and retailers have to factor into their very luxurious service it is becoming harder to meet at wedding boutique level.<br />
<br />
Until we have sample sales...<br />

</tbody></table>Sample sales can be one of the rare opportunities to look at the spreadsheet and declare a saving! As I know from most brides this usually means a diversion of funds. Consider the dress above - priced at £600 including a specialst dry clean and remedial work if needed - the 'saved' £380 would easily cover a pair of Pink 'Girly' shoes, a Polly Edwards headpiece and a long simple veil...<br />

<br />
I know whether your friends are channelling handmade or haute, rustic or riche, minimal or mahoosive. The dresses are ordered and are sweeping in on waves of glamour, racked like beautiful marionettes waiting to be woken. The fittings diary is booked and Senior Bush's workaholism is off and running.<br />
<br />
As I am manually talentless I take no part in the physical pinning and sewing of dresses. I am very happy to join my brides in a fitting with the seamstresses and chip in with useful comments. Oh how Senior Bush and the girls love that...<br />
<br />
Precisely what do I do at this time of year? Frankly, I don't think I can remember a time with so many girls shopping early for 2013, conducting appointments. The urge to shop is irresistable I know but literally this week has been the first week I have received any new 2013 dresses. <br />
<br />
The first is from Anouska G - Elenore. I have been hunting for accessibly priced Packham-esque dresses. Jenny Packham's haute couture standards are never a budget option so this London based label really appealed - this dress has a SRP of £1200. <br />
<br />

The second dress to arrive was an absolute beauty - it happened to arrive at the same time as Charlotte and Adam from <a href="http://www.rockmywedding.co.uk/" target="_blank">Rock My Wedding</a> though. The beautiful Brummies were on a scouting party (think Tusken Raider) and they swiped a new dress out of the box!<br />

</div>I had the briefest of exchanges with a bride buying a dress this week on the subject of Princesses. A lot of non wedding industry readers may think that the interior of Miss Bush is Princess Land, the shop sprinkled with illusional glitter and delusional fairy dust.<br />
<br />
My discussion was more market research on my behalf - "would you like to be treated like a princess?" My bride - I would say late 20s/early 30s, London resident and business owner, marrying in cool and auspicious venue - said emphatically 'no'.<br />
<br />
Reading around the princess fallacy I have found an interesting piece from a <a href="http://mommyish.com/childrearing/princess-myth-criticisms-daughter-110/gallery-page/1/" target="_blank">parenting blog</a> - where the author, rather predictably, is suggesting a parent counteracts the pervasive culture of the Disney Princess by posing six questions.( The subsequent arguments about the blog post discuss the facts regarding children and the influence it has on them - for those with small kids in your life)<br />
<br />
<strong>Why do princesses always have to be rich?</strong><br />

It is possible to have wedding style and feminist substance...</div><div class="alignright"> </div><div class="alignright"> </div>Miss Bush Bridalwearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08228323548510794257noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022807706381464025.post-26113655430308969922012-04-24T00:42:00.000-07:002012-04-24T00:42:37.740-07:00Bush TelegraphI have been thinking of how follow up to last week's emotional reaction to an unfair article by a blogger about a fellow wedding retailer. I have been asked to write a few more articles - some trade and some consumer. Here are some early thoughts and some fantastic contributions from a couple of great bloggers that are not seeking to alienate themselves from an industry they purport to be in. <br />
<br />
In 25 years of shopkeeping there is a lot of reinvention. adaption and moving with the times to be done. In fashion retailing the no-brainer is the dresses, the sixth sense you get about what to drop and what to buy. <br />
In 2012 a bridal shop has to look like a palace, be staffed by angels and have the robust constitution of a prize fighter with a rock hard jaw. It is no longer acceptable, if it ever was, to sport artifical flower arrangements, border wallpaper and dresses in plastic. The shops have to be as chic and individual as a boutique hotel, have a customer service policy that is faultless, be prepared to work seven days a week if one includes bridal fairs and preferably be a social media marketeer. The competition is fearsome - more shops than are necessary, fewer customers than are needed, increased activity from auction sites and High Street chains wading in. <br />
<br />
The stealth taxes like 20% VAT mean that margins are very tight - for your £2000 you are only getting £1600 worth of dress. Silk costs are spiralling, along with fuel and utilities. The only thing you can be very sure of is that UK wages are not following suit.<br />
<br />
Yet we all love it - weddings, shopping for weddings, writing about weddings, going to weddings. Playing dress up in a wedding dress shop is a fun, emotional and memorable experience - good or bad. I would therefore appeal for some understanding. Wedding dress shops and their owners are not the billionaire oligarchs of wedding dress world - far from it. They ought not to be treated like playgrounds. Would you walk into a Porsche dealership and complain about the price of a car? You only want to go from A to B after all... No? <br />
<br />
Effectively wedding dress shopping is a very different, unique shopping experience. If we get all Bill Shankly and see it as " a matter of life and death, except more important," take it and oureslves too seriously, do not communicate we are setting ourselves up for a disappointment. A very clever blogger, <a href="http://blog.quintessentiallyweddings.com/" target="_blank">Quintessentially Bride</a> added to my Blog last week "I would always try to pluck up the courage to tell someone if I felt it was more than my own neurosis and sensitivity to blame for a disappointing experience." We. retailers, brides, bloggers, journalists will create a battleground and severely reduce our own fun and happiness without a little bit of empathy all round.<br />
<br />
<br />
Annabel from <a href="http://www.lovemydress.net/" target="_blank">Love My Dress</a> has found me a great quote from Barack Obama<br />
<br />
"Obama acknowledged the emerging influence of blogging upon society by saying "if the direction of the news is all blogosphere, all opinions, with no serious fact-checking, no serious attempts to put stories in context, then what you will end up getting is people shouting at each other across the void but not a lot of mutual understanding”<br />
<br />
Food for thought? Let me know yours...frank questions gratefully received. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Wedding dresses shops can be odd and slightly intimidating in abstract. A luxurious dressing up box or a Little Shop of Horrors? A lot of brides have all sorts of anxieties before coming in for an appointment - am I rich enough, thin enough, young enough, cool enough? The simple fact is our customers are not 20 year old billionaire's daughters. Our customers are regular clever women that are approaching marriage from a million different backgrounds. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">There are some famously haughty shops in the world - on the whole wedding dress shops are not among them. This does not mean however you won't feel slightly intimidated and on edge <i>before</i> your first appointment. Any act or situation that has huge gravitas and effectively defines our femininity done for the first time is likely to cause some anxiety. Like snogging, sex, first bra, first love - if it all went brilliantly well first time we could all stride forth in cool lingerie conquering the world with our hotness. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">It doesn't happen that way - I didn't write off boys whilst laying flat on my back thinking 'was that it?' I understood, over time, that communication, expression of feeling and one or two killer moves make the difference - moving mundane to magical.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">My point is that when you walk into a wedding dress shop first time you and your assistant will be strangers to each other. I can't speak for other shops or assistants but that relationship accelerates faster than any others. '<a href="http://thinkexist.com/quotes/marcelene_cox/" target="_blank">The quickest way to know a woman is to go shopping with her</a> ' Within a few minutes - there are confessions of anxiety and life stories. I often see my customers in often no more than pants and heels. In my world this is normal. In the a bride to be's world it is not.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I wrote the FAQ about 18 months ago list to try and allay some fears. It's not sex it's just shopping...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">THANKS FOR BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT AT MISS BUSH.<br />
HERE ARE ANSWERS TO FAQS AND AN IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT.<br />
PRIVACY<br />
If you are coming to the shop on a Saturday please be aware that you are not having a private<br />
appointment. You will have a spacious and very private fitting room to get changed in but there are<br />
usually two other brides trying on too. If this idea doesn’t appeal please talk to us about a private weekday<br />
appointment or an evening appointment for which there is a small charge.<br />
PANTS<br />
When you are being helped in and out of dresses one of my very lovely girls or I will be with you. It might<br />
spare your blushes if you remember not to wear the skimpy thong emblazoned with ‘Hello big boy’ for<br />
your appointment. Think about nude tone pants and a good fitting bra WITH straps. (Unless you are a<br />
shameless good time girl – which is fab too.) At Miss Bush the strapless dresses are corseted and we can<br />
simply tuck bra straps down but the softer dresses really need a bra with some uplift.<br />
PRECIOUS THINGS<br />
On a Saturday it is a good idea not to bring family heirlooms, veils or borrowed tiaras.<br />
There is a good selection to try to create the looks you’re after. In addition there are shoes<br />
available in sizes 2 – 9 to try on with the gowns in varying heel heights.<br />
PHOTOS<br />
No photos please. This is always contentious. I would rather you didn’t take photos for the following reasons:<br />
1. The shop is very cute and very old. Whilst this creates a great atmosphere it is useless for photography.<br />
Professionals have struggled to get good shots battling the low ceiling beams and mixed light sources.<br />
2. I have worked for a long time to create a blend of labels, styling techniques and top tips for our<br />
customers. I am quite keen to keep the experience, the products and the service private and unique –<br />
quite hard in the days of instant uploads to social media.<br />
3. I stock samples from size 6 to size 18. It is Sod’s Law that the dress you love may not be a perfect fit.<br />
Therefore being girls if we go away from a shop with images of our boobs squashed or our skirts too<br />
tight or conversely with more pins than a Voodoo doll we are likely to obsess about our figures – not the<br />
dress (Or is this just me?)<br />
4. Most dresses are available to view online and your assistant will always give the<br />
proper name for a dress not just our reference.<br />
5. Muriel’s Wedding!!!!!!<br />
PHILOSOPHY<br />
My team at Miss Bush has years of experience – the shop launched nearly 24 years ago. The Miss Bush<br />
girls know the collections, the designers and the labels inside out. They all have a brilliant knack of putting<br />
looks together and an ability to handhold even the most nervous brides through different ideas and styles.<br />
They are not scripted and not commissioned. If the girls or I think something looks great we’ll tell you – and<br />
likewise if we know you can do better we’ll tell you that too. In the nicest possible way.<br />
Our reputation is built on having great dresses and providing great service – as with the vast majority<br />
of excellent bridal retailers. In contrast to other bridal retailers our collection of dresses reflects our own personal taste and we definitely try not to be all things to everybody. My team will give their own opinion,<br />
<br />
a frank approach, but the aim is to create amazing bridal looks reflecting your personality and subtly<br />
channelling all that’s new and gorgeous in wedding style. The choice of dresses is eclectic yet classic<br />
avoiding carbon-copy brides and detouring from perilous novelty.<br />
PIPSQUEAKS<br />
We love kids and babies. We have lots of children and grandchildren between us. You are very welcome<br />
to bring them here on a weekday for your appointment. The shop dresses are samples so kids can’t get<br />
sticky fingers on real life dresses and wannabe princesses can play with sparkly things – and you can even<br />
request the shop to yourself! However we would ask if we have no under 10’s on a Saturday in the<br />
main shop - it can get very busy and there is no where to put little ones safely.<br />
PLEASE<br />
Please let us know if you can’t make an appointment – especially a Saturday.<br />
Please don’t bring more than two friends or family without prior arrangement<br />
– the shop can become very crowded and intimidating.<br />
Please make your friends aware of the no photos policy.<br />
Please be aware that Saturday appointments are for an hour.<br />
PUBLIC TRANSPORT<br />
Train From London Waterloo – Woking. Try and get on a Portsmouth Harbour train – the first stop<br />

Having a pop at shopkeepers is not a new phenomena, Napoleon described England as a 'nation of shopkeepers' to suggest it was unfit for war against France. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_of_shopkeepers" target="_blank">Source</a> The country has been governed by a shopkeepers daughter in the divisive figure of Margaret Thatcher. The health of our High Streets acts as a barometer for the health of the economy. <br />
<br />
As a child I grew up knowing nothing other than a family retail business. My family had two electrical retail businesses operating, still in the 1970s, a pre war economic model. The company, CF Hall & Co Ltd, bore my grandfather's name and employed my mother, father, elderley aunts, uncles, my grandmother and various seemingly ancient retainers. As babies myself and my siblings were parked outside the shops in prams as the shop never generated salaries large enough for childcare. Customer service, the kind where you know every customer by name, their address and their personal preferences was automatic. <br />
<br />
As a young teenager - actually twelve if the truth be known - I was 'made' to work in the shop. This was not a matter of forced labour but economic fact. Money was earnt. The shop I worked in was in an extremely affluent location populated by titled and/or wealthy inhabitants. These customers patronised our shop in the old fashioned meaning of the word and very often patronised me in the more contemporary sense. I 'served' in the shop - I didn't function within an articulated customer service policy.<br />
<br />
Growing up in white middle class Surrey can do one of two things. It can make you a lifelong Tory or a rebel. I chose rebel, I chose punk, I chose counter culture. My Dad wanted me to go to University as a pioneer for our family - I wanted art college. The era, the early 80s, gave me a a fabulous set of mouthy left wing role models Morrissy, Paul Weller, Billy Bragg, Siouxsie Sioux, Boy George. <br />

After a year at Art College I ended up at The University of Warwick in the last few golden years where a poor kid like me from limited means could get their fees paid and a full maintenace grant because of now divorced parents. My natural rebellion and embryonic politics were developed with a fine line in Marxist Feminist rhetoric. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Mulvey" target="_blank">Laura Mulvey</a> was a way of life.<br />
<br />
Post University I worked extrememly hard for barely more than an intern's salary in London until a surprisingly speedy marriage and even speedier unplanned pregnancy necessitated a move back to Surrey. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_npRsjTHEyF5o_hxmoWqz_YjZFuByOd7ETJfBcPxrG38q4IXzwNGAe3Y2phF0DckIadkAaWl8xx-D9iCsOZVqjwjbvN12deHv6WYaZ3avkEWo9BVcDy4xd4NhhFKzwsvMgLgrhI5B3XU/s1600/Wedding.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="441" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_npRsjTHEyF5o_hxmoWqz_YjZFuByOd7ETJfBcPxrG38q4IXzwNGAe3Y2phF0DckIadkAaWl8xx-D9iCsOZVqjwjbvN12deHv6WYaZ3avkEWo9BVcDy4xd4NhhFKzwsvMgLgrhI5B3XU/s640/Wedding.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Major recessions and life changing moments for me seem to go hand in hand. There was no 4x4 and Venture photo shoot lifestyle for me. Like a lot of Mothers work was not a choice but a financial necessity. I joined my own Mother in her bridal wear business as a temporary measure. <br />
<br />
That was nearly eighteen years ago. I didn't start the business because I was in love with weddings or because I wanted to live like a princess in perpetuity. I joined as an employee and I brought to the business an independant feminist streak. A lack of fear in being outspoken. An age very close to the clients - 26 at the time. I bought fashion in a time of frills. <br />
<br />
Why, you ask, do I need to explain all of this to you? I have recently read an <a href="http://www.rocknrollbride.com/2012/04/undercover-bride-the-wedding-dress-boutique/comment-page-2/#comments" target="_blank">article</a> that has incensed me so much that I still cannot be calm about it. I very much appreciate the freedom of expression that Blogging brings to the world. There is a line though between opinion and trolling. The article purported to be an undercover investigative piece looking at a wedding dress shop ( not my shop to be absolutely clear) - the first in a series. <br />
<br />
The BBC, arbitor of all things fair, has an editorial policy that reads -<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><i><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">"When we make allegations of wrong doing, iniquity or incompetence or lay out a strong and damaging critique of an individual or institution the presumption is that those criticised should be given a "right of reply", that is, given a fair opportunity to respond to the allegations before transmission"</span></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><br />
</div>In a new age of social media the law governing what is fair and just is foggy. I accept hurtful and spiteful reviews on Review Centre. These are opinions and are read as such. They have also, on some occasions, been useful in highlighting areas that need improving. I would still welcome a complaint directly. A letter or email clearly pointing out where Miss Bush has gone wrong and where we can improve. ( A full time receptionist would be one area if the budget allowed - interns wecome!) <br />
<br />
I feel that blogs that are set out in a magazine format, accept advertising revenue and move to publish a magazine should have an articulated editorial policy to protect victims from smear campaigns as much as protecting themselves from legal action. I would hate them to diminish through poor editorial judgement. <br />
<br />
The reason for the brief synopsis of my life is to demonstrate a belief in rebellion as a force of good. Free speech as a fundamental right. I also believe that women working in service industries such as retailing do not deserve to be patronised as I was when I was 15. If acting like a rock star, posturing for the praise of strangers, is the driving force behind one's strategy I suggest picking up a guitar.<br />
<br />
I am not presuming to talk for all women in bridalwear shops. I know I and my team work long, hard hours - we love playing dress up, we adore the clothes and most of our customers get on with is brilliantly. I fully expect some people not to find my service deferential enough. I refuse to tell you you look beautiful in everything if you don't. I reserve the right to integrity. Once - an only once - have I asked a customer to leave. <br />
<br />
I have stood strong and upright in the shop in the face of huge personal adversity because I have an commitment and obligation to my clients. <br />
<br />
This is hardcore<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

I would loved to have skipped off Stateside to have a look at the collections from the US designers however I have been tied to the shop and almost literally the kitchen sink!<br />
<br />
One of the treats of the trade show for me would have been a first glance at, Miss Bush perennial favourite, Jenny Packham's new season collection. Luckily for me Brides magazine was in NYC and has sneak peeked a few photos for us to collectively lust over long distance.<br />

This means creating a team of different trades, for eg. photographer, stylist, etc, to create an 'inspiration' shoot. These can take the form of a mock wedding or have more of a fashion editorial feel. At best these can break new ideas and show case genius at worst you want to look away quickly whilst making negative mental notes. <br />
<br />
Perhaps my background in the shallow end of design and advertising leads me to expect a clear message and purpose from photo shoot images. Some shoots would seem to be purposeless. My task, as I see it, is to be the 'client' and to set a brief. I could no more 'craft' anything than I could make a dress. So befuddled would I be 'on location' that not one useable image would be produced. A <a href="http://theweddingreporter.co.uk/" target="_blank">learned friend</a> of mine has described my job as being a curator of dress collections. I would agree and add that have also hunter-gathered a brilliant team of like minded creatives to realise my ideas without any discernable skill input from me. No 'have-a-go' styling heroics from me.To paraphrase William Morris I struggle to see the point in photos I don't "know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." This shoot had a purpose commercially - to shout New York Style about the JLM Couture brand - I wanted useful and beautiful...<br />
<br />
In my constant search for fresh looks, new brands I came across <a href="http://www.jlmcouture.com/" target="_blank">JLM Couture</a>. To be fair they are hardly niche - they are a big US fashion house with a stable of labels. I wasn't trawling degree shows to discover Tara Keely, I don't want to position myself as Isabella Blow.<br />
<br />
I will own up to developing a crush on them as they represent a sleek diffusion of New York supremos Vera Wang and Oscar de la Renta. The dresses at their very best steer a path away from the twisted, ruched and draped poly taffeta bestsellers of the ersatz designers on the mass market. The are pleasingly minimal but with a dose or perfume ad pretty.<br />
<br />
To make a large song and dance about how much I like the JLM frocks and bridesmaids dresses I decided to hold a trunk show like no other. A shoot followed by a cocktail partyand fashion show. In an uber competeitive market, where the world and it's mother are opening a bridal shop, the best way to demonstrate the difference at Miss Bush is to get your attention. To show you why we are different - why we are the 'out of town' Browns.<br />
<br />
This shoot is supremely creative. I had my best girls on the case. The reason why I think it works is that it started on the premise of beauty. The three models we have used have been scouted by myself and Carolanne Armstrong. We regularly and mercilessly tease each other about our girl crushes - how we fall in love with women's faces. So despite our heterosexuality our lady loves manage to inform our choices. Jade, Jeni amd Ellie's faces are heavenly. Jade's face is beauty with art and intelligence pouring forth, Jeni's face is that of a sex goddess and Ellie face has the perfect pout and is irresistably youthful.<br />
<br />
These faces were in place all the time while thinking about the USP for JLM. It's the New York vibe. The dresses are designed and made in New York - fantastically unusual - the benefit for brides being that the deliveries are great and the service second to none.<br />
<br />
My mind became preoccupied with New York women, TV shows, films, music and night life. My first thoughts were Park Avenue Princesses - like the Gossip Girl women, a bit of SATC and Bergdorf blondes; Greenwich village girls all beatniks and Joni Mitchell; Wall Street woman - hard edges and Working Girl 80s style. <br />
<br />
My Park Avenue Princess stayed. My Greenwich village Joni Mitchell "We had no money. I made my wedding dress... I walked down the aisle brandishing my daisies" moved to Tribeca and became a bit Olsen twin. Wall Street woman didn't work - Jeni, dammit, is too sexy. A tiny frame with a fine bust meant she looked ok at best, slutty at worst in some of the original concepts. So my mind whirled a bit more - I was still obsessing about suiting and masculine looks with her burningly beautiful face making it feminine. Her look is a fashion smoothie. Jeni is Annie Hall, she is Frank Sinatra crooning wedding standard New York New York, she is Elvis and kd lang. Jeni represents the New York of counter culture, freedom and Pride. Miss Bush brides are not always straight so the ambiguity of the gender roles is interesting layer to the shoot. <br />
<br />
The colour scheme - it's all about the Taxi. Yellow, black and grey are Miss Bush's colours deliberately chosen to stand away from the twee-crowd. <br />
<br />
Once the models were dressed in my head, the looks briefed. the flowers sourced, the location scouted what did I do then? I walked away. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://julietmckeephotography.co.uk/" target="_blank">Juliet McKee</a> is a brilliant photographer - I am not. Amy Plank is a great stylist with unwaivering patience and attention to detail - I am better at the bigger picture. <a href="http://www.carolannearmstrong.com/Carolanne_Armstrong/hello.html" target="_blank">Carolanne</a> and <a href="http://wonderfulweddinghair.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sharon </a>do great make up and hair - I still do GHDs and Rimmel. <a href="http://www.bloomingayles.co.uk/" target="_blank">Gayle Evans</a> is a flower genius - I don't know my aster from elbow. I know what their considerable strengths are individually but as a team they delivered more than I could have hoped for. Did the girls shout NYC style? You bet your bottom dollar they did...<br />

For my brides this could mean one of two things. <br />
<br />
Firstly that I could be slightly jaded and keep rehashing old patterns to new customers year after year. (I would love to name check a small retail chain that does this but I think that way danger lies!) Indeed very unoriginal.<br />
<br />
Secondly, and the way of Miss Bush, is that I am constantly seeking reinventions, exploring season after season what it means to be a bride this year, this month. Bridalwear is a narrow aesthetic. True you can get married in your jeans - in which case a specific wedding dress shop is redundant. Walk into a wedding dress shop and you want to see clothes that are recognisably bridal. Whether that is the colour, the length or the fit. So one of my greatest challenges is to find dresses or garments that say 'I'm a bride' that don't look like they've come from a clip art folder. Generic or derivative dresses are all very well - I have been just recently been to a trade show where there are thousands - so I assume they must sell. <br />
<br />
My aim is to dress brides in a frock that is fabulous on the day and remembered by their guests forever after the wedding! As such my brides and I seem to gravitate to each other and Lucy here is one such bride. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">"My "Eve" dress by Jenny Packham was perfect for me. I remember coming into your shop, after my best friend Sarah (Sarah Timothy nee Meade) urged me to try your dresses. After trying on several enormous gowns at other shops, it was a relief to try something that I didn't feel so drowned in. And you were the only shop that actually advised me on what type of dress suited me, something I am very grateful for!"</blockquote><br />

The winter is a relatively lean month for weddings - though be warned winter brides I shall be stalking your inbox soon - but a very busy period for the shop. I haven't had as much time to hunt down photos and the Miss Bush blog has had a rather Emma Meek bias. As anyone who has met me will testify, I am a virtual wallflower so this has been troubling to my inherent shyness. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">Is anyone buying this?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">More than anything I have loved seeing these photos on a wintry day when the false promise of summer has given way to wet, grey skies. When Outlook is filled to bursting, the phone is relentless, home hasn't cleaned itself, a few window envelopes are eyeballing me and the supper has not been started. Clearly the responsible thing to do is dream about a luxury resort in Malaysia where " <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><em>Twilight happens all too soon. But with sunset cocktails and dinner in a beach-side gazebo served by your own private butler, you don’t really mind." </em>- have a little <a href="http://www.shangri-la.com/kotakinabalu/rasariaresort/about/" target="_blank">link</a> love in and see what I mean.</span></span><br />

My official photos are now "in" and thought you and the girls at Miss Bush may want a peak of how the dress looks in the pics. <br />
<br />
You will probably spot the gorgeous Polly Edwards "Claudette" band too!<br />
<br />
We didn't hold out much hope for the pics as the photographer came with our wedding package, and after seeing some of your blogs about getting the right photographer I was worried! It seems as though we were lucky however and thankfully we have some lovely ones to cherish. <br />
<br />
Hope you are all well, and please pass on my thanks to Corrine and Jen once again just for being so fab!</em> <br />

We always love photos - although it might appear, from my demands that brides choose good photographers, that I am becoming slightly despotic...<br />
