Spring Trunk Shows – Martina Liana & Essense of Australia

This spring we are super excited to be having trunk shows by two of our most loved designers: Martina Liana & Essense of Australia. What is a trunk show you ask? Well, during the Trunk Show event, which is held over a Saturday and Sunday, we will exclusively be given the newest wedding gowns from a designer to showcase to our brides-to-be. At select events, the designer and/or a representative will attend, giving the bride an opportunity to talk with them about the inspiration, trends and details behind the designs.

A trunk show can be a fantastic opportunity to see, try and buy next seasons wedding gowns before anyone else!

Here at Georgina Scott Bridal we regularly host glamorous trunk shows for the best wedding dress designers in the industry and this spring we have the following trunk show events booked in just for you!

Emma & Nathan’s Wedding Story | Bridal Shop in Stourbridge | Eliza Jane Howell Dress

Here at Georgina Scott Bridal we love nothing more than hearing stories from our brides and grooms, whether they be funny, sad or soppy! We love them all! We get to meet our couples in the middle of their journey together, so we become curious about the beginning; such as how they met and how the all important proposal went!

We get to know our brides so well, many become friends, and some of their beautiful stories bring us to tears. Happy tears of course!! And we wanted to share some of them with you. Whether you smile at them, cry or just have comfort from them, hearing from brides themselves that weddings can be full of ups and downs but all in all there is no need to stress… it all works out perfect in the end.

Here is the story of the fabulous Emma & Nathan (and little Felix!)

The Beginning & the Proposal…

“We’ve actually known each other for the best part of 10 years but only to say “Hi” to, we only met up properly after matching on Tinder of all places! Both Nathan and myself hated the app but happened upon each other on day, which was quite lucky as we’d never have approached each other otherwise as we’re both quite shy. Nathan had always been in relationships so i’d never actually looked at him in that way until that fateful evening on Tinder. We found out almost a year later on New Years Eve we were having a baby and our little Felix was born the following August. The July after we got married!”

“We’d spoken about getting married numerous times and i always said that id have to pick the ring as I’m ridiculously fussy! So one day Nathan suggested we go and see a jeweller we know in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham to have a look at rings to get an idea. Whist there i found the most amazing ring made with a Mandarin Garnet, which was really unusual but it was the only ring i felt actually suited me. So after a few tweaks off we went whilst the ring was being made. A few weeks later whilst i was changing Felix’s nappy (of all times he could have chosen!) Nathan got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, the response was of course yes!”

The dress…

“I had it in my head that i wanted a Pronovias dress and saw that Georgina Scott Bridal stocked the brand so booked an appointment and tried on pretty much every dress in the shop but after having a baby my body shape totally changed so the dresses i thought would suit me no longer did. After one unsuccessful visit, albeit with some super helpful staff who were more than happy to let me try on dress after dress, i left without my dream dress. We were told to have a look in their Kingswinford store, which we did and i found my beautiful Eliza Jane Howell Dress”

“I hadn’t actually picked it out to try but my sister-in-law made me try it and it was one of the very few dresses i felt truly comfortable in. The pearl beading was exquisite and i really felt like a bride in it. Over the next few months i had numerous fittings and adjustments made, i even had the entire back of the dress redone but nothing was ever too much hassle for the ladies at Georgina Scott Bridal, Tracie genuinely wanted the dress to be as perfect as much as i did, which was really lovely.”

The Wedding Planning…

“I was on maternity leave at the time so did pretty much all of the planning in only 6 months whist feeding, changing and entertaining a young baby. I was adamant i was going to do it all by myself as i had a pretty exact idea of how i wanted everything but i realised a few months down the line that it would be virtually impossible to coordinate everything on the actual day myself so at that point i got the amazing wedding planner Krysta on board (@fortheloveofweddings) she was an absolute godsend and i really couldn’t have done it without her.”

What we would have done differently and our advice…

“I have to say that i wouldn’t have changed much as the day was beyond perfect but i maybe would have looked into the cost of things more (!) as i don’t think anyone realises just how expensive EVERYTHING to do with weddings is. Don’t try and do everything yourself. Its near enough impossible to coordinate all elements of a wedding on your own, no matter how organised you are. Wedding planners are a godsend, good ones are invaluable!”

Designer Spotlight – Essense of Australia – Winner of Wedding Dress of the Year 2018

Designer Spotlight – Essense of Australia 

Winner of ‘Wedding Dress of the Year’ for the second year running!

Who are Essense of Australia?…

Essense of Australia was established 20 years ago in Perth, Australia and is lead by co-owners Wayne & Martine and has developed into a global success. They are the masters at bringing attention to detail along with dresses that have a superb fit with couture finishing. By having an Essense of Australia dress you will have a truly memorable wedding gown on your big day. With each Essense dress you will be getting luxurious fabric, sensational beading, lavish lace and head– turning sparkle (brought by authentic Swarovski crystals and diamantés).

Their dresses attract brides who are after a traditional style with a small twist. The classic lace details combined with illusion tulle, alluring flattering cut outs and dazzling sparkle provide just this. Their dresses are daring enough to turn-heads, but traditional enough to be respectable in a church ceremony. Giving brides the best of both worlds.

‘Wedding Dress of the Year 2018’…

We weren’t at all surprised when Essense of Australia were crowned as the winner of ‘Wedding Dress of the Year’ for the second year running in 2018. We are so proud to hold this designer in our boutique, with beautiful dress after beautiful dress, our girls here get so excited when a new delivery arrives from Essense, knowing they will be pulling out another striking design! It’s no wonder it is one of our most asked about collections.

And the winner is…

The winning dress, D2322, is a style that holds all the key elements of what brides are looking for today –  romantic, demure yet sexy with a flattering shape; basically it’s a show-stopping design! It’s showered in eye-catching lace with a gorgeous lace feature on the upper back with a shape that shows off a brides’ feminine silhouette. The daring deep cuts and gentle sweetheart neckline make it the perfect choice for a bride who wants a traditional yet modern bridal gown for her wedding day.

So what was the inspiration for this award winning dress? “Femininity was truly the inspiration for this gown. The dress showcases the belief that being feminine is part tradition, part happiness, part sexiness, part confidence, and part vulnerability. The inspiration behind this design was to showcase all of the elements that make the feminine silhouette so romantic and timeless” – Martine from Essense of Australia

We can not see what is next from this phenomenal designer! Based on the brand new dresses we have just received from them, we predict it will be spectacular things!

Leigh & Rus’s Wedding Story…

Here at Georgina Scott Bridal we love nothing more than hearing stories from our brides and grooms, whether they be funny, sad or soppy! We love them all! We get to meet our couples in the middle of their journey together, so we become curious about the beginning; such as how they met and how the all important proposal went!

We get to know our brides so well, many become friends, and some of their beautiful stories bring us to tears. Happy tears of course!! And we wanted to share some of them with you. Whether you smile at them, cry or just have comfort from them, hearing from brides themselves that weddings can be full of ups and downs but all in all there is no need to stress… it all works out perfect in the end.

Here is the story of the gorgeous Leigh & Rus…

The beginning & the proposal…

“Rus was one of my brother’s best friends… There was a “”My best friend and my sister?!” moment like in Friends… been together three years now.”

“As a singer in an acoustic duo with my dad, I was booked for a private birthday party at Stone Manor hotel. Dad picked me up to drive to the venue after wishing Rus a good day at the Wolves match. I walked in and the staff showed me to the room where the “party” was. On the table, in front of a roaring fireplace, was a laptop with earphones in it. On the screen read: Leigh, put the earphones in and press enter. I was very confused and still thought this was part of the booking! I even asked the lady whether I had to wait for dad to listen with me! As soon as I saw Rus’ face appear on the screen, I knew. I just sat there laughing as he introduced the video and then laughter turned to happy tears as one by one, videos of all our nearest and dearest appeared, with messages about how they knew what Rus was up to and how they wished us well. (Including one of my parents rapping their own version of Ed Sheeran…) Finally, when I turned around, everyone in the video was behind me and Rus was there on one knee with the most beautiful ring ever. Romantically, my first response was to swear at him for tricking me! Then I said yes. We then all had afternoon tea and a lovely, lovely afternoon celebrating together before jetting off to New York the very next day! It was perfect”.

 

The dress…

“I chose GSB because I had always driven past and thought how lovely it looked, plus having researched lots of bridal shops, they stocked what I thought was the best collection and widest variety of brands and styles. I can’t really say who stood out because I think at some point in the process, I had the pleasure of everyone looking after me! Tracie was amazing though and such a lovely lady!”

“I chose my dress because it was just so unique, classy, elegant and perfectly me. From the moment I put it on, it was so comfortable and fitted me just perfectly. I didn’t want to take it off!”

The wedding… 25th August 2018…

“We walked down the aisle to an orchestral version of our song, Over and Over Again, by Nathan Sykes, which our friend played and recorded for us. Our first dance was a secret dance off against each other, each having practiced two dances in secret, which we only saw for the first time on the wedding night!”

“We did everything ourselves, and all in 10 months. My parents helped out massively with days out, the flowers, and some of the larger crafts. Rus’s parents gave us an early gift towards our honeymoon, which was lovely and took the pressure off us having to save for all of that, too”.

“Also, the suppliers we chose were AMAZING- so good at what they did; I had total trust in them and my goodness they followed through. Last person to mention, other than Jonathan, our photographer, being the most talented human ever, is Julia, the owner of Garthmyl Hall: she made us feel like the Hall was truly ours and invested so much of herself in helping the day itself to run perfectly, and even had time for sambucas with the groomsmen at the end of the night! Love her!”

“When you’re as lucky as we were, getting married was bittersweet: we met so many wonderful human beings through our suppliers, vendors, and every other aspect of wedding planning that it’s a bit sad when you get to the end and you can’t see these people again! To all involved in our wedding- you’re like a secret best friend club that I want to keep and just do it all over again with! Love you all lots!”

What we would have done differently and our advice…

“Not a single thing”.

“Enjoy every single second of the build up- make a day of everything so you make so many memories along the way with everyone who matters. Remember the reason you’re doing it- to marry each other!”
