The latest totally Summery edition of Love Our Wedding magazine has arrived! – 24/06/2018
Yay! The latest edition of Love Our Wedding magazine has arrived and will be given to our brides with an appointment totally free whilst stocks last!
We are massively in love with the Summery vibes we’re getting from the front cover, and that follows inside. I know the Royal Wedding seems a lifetime ago, but we of course cannot forget the triumph that was wedding guest Amal Clooney’s beautiful yellow outfit, and it seems the Love Our Wedding team feel the same! There’s a lovey double page spread on how to channel this bright colour into your wedding day. Heart!
One wedding dress – customisation creates three different looks – 31/05/2018
At Honeyblossom Bridal we are passionate about giving our brides choice, and part of that is being able to offer customisation of our beautiful wedding gowns to create something unique for your wedding day.
Sometimes it’s hard to understand what this means, and to visualise what changes might look like, so we wanted to show you some examples of what is possible.
1508 by Catherine Parry is one of our most customised wedding dresses. The sample in our boutique is the same as the pictures on our website – this beautiful gown has a lace top with delicate sequin and bead embellishment, glitzy belt and gorgeous flowing A-line skirt.
Our brides love this bridal gown, but wanted changes to create their perfect look! Here, we show how we worked with two brides and Catherine Parry to create their dream wedding gowns.
On the left we have Rebecca. Rebecca changed the neckline on the dress from an eyelash lace to a clean line, added full sleeves, buttons to the back and swapped the belt out for a glamorous opal and pearl belt from our boutique. On the right, Charlotte kept the eyelash lace but had the neckline customised to a flattering V-neck, added a cap sleeve, buttons to the back of the skirt, extended the train, swapped the belt to a simple, satin band and toned down the embellishment on the lace top. I think you’ll agree that both brides looked truly fabulous on their wedding days and you wouldn’t think they chose the same wedding dress from our boutique!
It’s important to remember when you’re looking for bridal gowns with us, if there is something on a bridal dress that you’re not sure of, ask! There may be changes we can make with the designer, whether that’s adding a strap, toning down (or up!) the embellishment, changing the neckline… I can’t say I have heard every single variation of each and every wedding dress, but if I don’t know the answer I can certainly check with the designer – we’ll do everything we can to create the perfect bridal gown for our brides 🙂

Our best bits from this month’s Love Our Wedding magazine – 16/11/2017
Brrrr! It’s got a bit cold all of a sudden! So we brewed up and allowed ourselves a cheeky half hour off to have a read of this month’s Love Our Wedding magazine which was delivered to us yesterday. As always, free copies will be given to all our brides with appointments this month, until we run out!
So page 47 had us instantly interested – a beach honeymoon means that I’m trying my hardest to tone up (not really!) but here are some awesome easy to do moves which I should be able to fit in between appointments! Surely with these I’ll have that bikini body in no time?! Onto page 59 – you know all of us at Honeyblossom love monochrome, the pretty stationery ideas on this page are so cute! As always, there’s tons of great content in this magazine, but as we’re quickly writing this whilst we have a moment, our other favourite article this month starts on page 88 – begone sugared almonds! There’s some great ideas on these two pages for wedding favours. Our wedding favours didn’t make it to the list – but we had origami animals representing each person’s Chinese zodiac which we made ourselves – a test of our patience as well as each other!
Watch our Christmas tree light switch on! – 12/11/2017
Mr Honeyblossom and I took a trip to Manchester Christmas markets on Friday and it made us feel all Christmassy, so there was only one thing for it – put the Christmas tree up! Have a watch of our switch on here:
Take a tour round Honeyblossom Bridal – 06/11/2017
We share lots of pictures on social media of our bridal boutique – but we decided to do a little video so you could have a little tour ahead of your appointment. Grab a brew (or vino/poison of your choice) and have a look below!

November’s Love Our Wedding magazine has arrived! Here’s our favourite bits – 13/10/2017
A free copy of November’s Love Our Wedding magazine is ready and waiting in the boutique for all brides with an appointment this month – until we run out!
This month’s magazine is full of super articles. Head to page 41 for the low down on pastel bridesmaid dresses for your big day. For our own wedding, we went for 4 different pastel shades to complement each of our bridesmaids so this is one close to our heart! Following on from that, we love the ‘Quirky details’ on page 93 onwards. I switched down to a pair of specially designed Nike trainers for the reception so I had no problem dancing the night away! We’ve also had a few brides recently tell us about the rise video guest books – particularly Marryoke!
Thinking about an overseas wedding? It’s certainly tempting giving all the horrid weather we’re currently having – page 111 gives you the top tips you need.
Last, but 100% not least, the Isabella bridal gown by Catherine Parry graces the pages of this month’s issue – we are so excited for her to arrive into our boutique in 2018!
Our highlights from October’s Love Our Wedding magazine – 22/09/2017
The newest edition of Love Our Wedding magazine has arrived! As always, there will be 
a free copy available to all our brides whilst stocks last.
We are actually in love with the colours on the cover, but the inside is just as good! Have a look at page 45 to find out top tips on wedding gown shopping – essential reading before hitting the bridal boutiques! When you’ve got the bridal dress, next on your list – make-up and something blue! Head to page 85 for three fabulous wedding day looks for inspiration. Page 93 has some great ideas for something blue – did you know all of our So Sassi bridal gown’s have a small blue bow sewn inside? Super cute! Our very own Rachel Chaprunne has some beautiful hair pins that can be customised in blue, such as Iris and Lilybeau:
What’s more, not one but two of the Catherine Parry wedding dresses we have arriving in the boutique in 2018 have graced the pages of this month’s edition – Isabella and Cara. Each has their awesome style and we can’t wait for them to arrive!
The results of wedding dress cleaning from Village Dry Cleaners, Chorlton – 15/09/2017
I’ve been a little slow at getting my wedding dress cleaned – I’m definitely guilty of putting other brides before myself! But finally, I got round to it. Now, I wasn’t particularly precious about my bridal gown on the day, I walked from the hotel to the ceremony, we strolled through Manchester’s Northern Quarter and China Town for pictures and I danced the night away until throwing out time! It’s fair to say that my dress was rather grimy by the end of the wedding, and I have to admit I was a little upset when I looked at my once beautiful wedding gown the next day! If you want an idea of the extent of what I’m talking about, here’s some evidence of a great wedding:
Obviously working in the industry, I know that wedding dresses can be cleaned, I’ve seen samples covered with makeup marks come out as new, but I was a concerned that my dress seemed to have very dark oily marks on the skirt and train – could I have ruined my dress permanently?!
I needn’t have worried, Amir at Village Dry Cleaners in Chorlton is a true professional. After talking me through the process, a few days later the results were in, my wedding dress had been cleaned, and well, it looks incredible. Below are the after pictures – it was as if those stains never existed! I’m so thrilled 🙂
Honeyblossom Bridal are of course proud to work alongside such brilliant vendors, and what’s more, Honeyblossom brides will receive a discount for their wedding dress cleaning – just ask us how when you’re in the boutique or send an email to honeyblossombridal@gmail.com – oh and don’t leave it as late as I did – wedding gowns are easier to clean the sooner they are taken in!
All the gossip from The Harrogate Bridal Show – 14/09/2017
Ok so it’s my birthday today and so I decided to scoff a load of birthday chocolates (strong – its ok on your birthday, right?) and tell you lovelies all about what we got up to at The Harrogate Bridal Show on Monday.
So this year, all three of our wonderful British wedding dress designers So Sassi, Catherine Parry and MiaMia were there – it was wonderful to catch up with the designers and reflect on our most popular styles and of course….. see the new collections! All three designers have completely pulled it out of the bag again – their bridal gowns had luxurious fabrics, modern cuts, are totally fashion forward and 100% fabulous. As if we needed more confirmation that our designers are amazing, Marguerite Hannah, the designer for MiaMia, took away the prestigious Bridal Buyer Award for British Bridalwear Designer of the Year!
When are these super new wedding dresses arriving into the boutique I hear you ask? Well! We have some arriving in September, with the others in January, February and March. Keep an eye on our website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest to see the stunning styles arriving!
Our highlights from the latest Love Our Wedding magazine – 24/08/2017
The latest Love Our Wedding magazines have arrived in our bridal boutique! We couldn’t wait to sit down with a brew and have a good read. This month’s issue does not fail to disappoint. Have a look at page 17 onwards for a full guide on all the different necklines available on wedding dresses – you can even learn some technical bridal terminology on these if you’d like!
Towards the back of the issue are also some great tips on how to de-stress before the big day – super helpful for both brides and grooms alike.
As a reminder, all brides with an appointment can pick up a free copy of this wonderful magazine – whilst stocks last!
Blog feature – read all about us! – 05/08/2017
It’s not often we get to speak about us – we’re usually too busy with everyone else’s weddings 🙂 but we did get a chance recently to chat to Mr and Mrs Darby – a wedding hire business, who have featured us in their blog! You can have a read of the article here.
We talk trends, what our most memorable weddings and some tips based on our own wedding day. So grab a brew, sit back, and have a read!
One year on… – 04/08/2017
We can’t believe that we were handed the keys to our unit a year ago – time has completely flown. It’s hard to imagine what it looked like before, so we thought we’d share a few pictures with you of the renovation project we had on our hands – it was a lot of fun, and we hope you like the results as much as we do!
We’ve reached a Twitter milestone! – 03/08/2017

Brides sign update – 22/07/2017
We have very sad news about our brides sign. It appears that a fibre cabinet will be installed on the area outside our boutique, and as work in ongoing, we cannot reinstate our sign. We’re totally gutted as we love our little sign 😦 If you’re not sure where we are, please head to our Contact page.
Here’s a cute picture of our sign in it’s old place, sob!
Please excuse our appearance – we’re still open! – 18/07/2017
Unfortunately whilst we were away some pesky workmen have removed our sign holder and ruined our green grass 😦
Don’t worry brides, despite our appearance, we are still open, and we’re trying our best with the company responsible to get something re-instated ASAP.
Can you guess where we’ve been? – 17/07/2017
Sorry we’ve been a little quiet recently – we’ve been a little busy – we got married! We’ll be sharing some images of our special day soon. After the wedding, we jetted off for a break to celebrate Mr Honeyblossom’s 30th birthday. Neither of our brains are very far from wedding dresses of course, and this trip was no exception:
Can you guess where we’ve been?
Mr Honeyblossom papped at parkrun! – 25/06/2017
It’s no secret that Mr Honeyblossom loves nothing better than being out for a run – sadly he’s been recovering from a few injuries recently, but after lots of physio and recovery, he ventured out to Stretford parkrun for the first time in ages – in merch of course!
Our friends over at Wedding Business Success spotted him and took this sneaky snap!
If you spot him out – do say hello (or send us more pap shots, we love it!) I know what you’re thinking – what’s my excuse?! Well I was busy with brides in the boutique of course 🙂
Real bride Kate works her veil! – 09/06/2017
Kate shopped with us recently to find the perfect veil from The Couture Veil to match her beautiful wedding gown. After an accessories consultation with us, discussing all the options, she decided on a long, waterfall, stitched edge veil in ivory.
We always love how veils photograph, but we just had to share these amazing shots from Kate’s big day which she shared with us recently!
If you, like Kate, would like to find your perfect veil with us, book an accessories appointment online here, call 0161 637 6830 or 07410 446 062 or email us on honeyblossombridal@gmail.com
Beautiful handmade hair accessories arriving at Honeyblossom Bridal this Summer! – 19/05/2017
Our Summer is certainly hotting up! Not only are stunning new Catherine Parry wedding dresses arriving, we’re getting married, and now, we have some absolutely beautiful hair accessories arriving into the boutique.
We are thrilled to be working with local designer Rachel Chaprunne. We’re currently choosing the pieces which will be available to try on during wedding dress or wedding accessories appointments, and we are spoilt for choice! We will have an array of hair vines, wedding headbands, slides and headpieces for you and your party to try.
What really makes these stunning accessories stand out from the rest is the quality and design. They are made using the finest materials, including Swarovski crystallised elements (a personal favourite!) and the highest quality freshwater pearls.
Of course, to join the Honeyblossom family, the accessories would need to offer an element of customisation, and Rachel Chaprunne definitely delivers. As well as variations in crystal and pearl colour, ribbon colour and size, they also offer bespoke options allowing you to perfectly match your pieces to your dress, the theme of your wedding or incorporating important family heirlooms.
The latest issue of Love Our Wedding magazine – read it online! – 13/04/2017
We love wedding magazines. They’re packed full of brilliant ideas, advice and inspiration for your big day. We also love that Love Our Wedding magazine is available online for free!
This month’s issue does not disappoint – we particularly enjoyed the article on page 19 – which explains everything you should know about the wedding dress buying experience. If you have more questions, why not check out our FAQs section?
We’re members on lots of the wedding Facebook groups, and often see brides asking about the ordering wedding dress, bridesmaid gowns, veils and other accessories online from overseas suppliers. Page 58 gives some real insight of this area of the industry, a must read for any bride to be considering this.
These our just our favourites, the whole magazine is full of gems – keep an eye out for two of our designers which feature throughout this issue – So Sassi and Catherine Parry.
You can now book your appointments online! – 27/03/2017
We’re excited to tell you that we are currently trialling an online booking system – you can now book your wedding dress or wedding accessories appointment here. It’s just one of the ways we’re trying to make wedding planning easier.
From personal experience, we completely understand that wedding planning can take place at any time of the day or night, and our brides are juggling this in between busy work and social lives. Our online booking system allows you to instantly view our availability and book in (look for the blue slots of 1 hour (accessories) or 90 minutes (wedding dress)) – no waiting for email replies or call backs, you will get a confirmation email within a few minutes. However, if you don’t see the time and date you’re looking for, please do follow up with an email, call, text or WhatsApp, we can work with you to find something that suits.

We’re hosting a wedding dress catwalk at the Chancellors Hotel, Manchester! – 23/03/2017
We’re super thrilled to be going to the Chancellors Hotel wedding fair on Sunday 2 April. The event starts at 1pm and is free!
Our beautiful models will be strutting their stuff in a wedding dress catwalk at 4pm – we’ll be running a mini competition to win a prize so make sure you’re around! Before the catwalk you can come and speak to us on our stand where we’ll have some samples of our veils, customised shoes and vintage hankies – as well as some sweets to keep you going 🙂
The Chancellors Hotel has been lovingly refurbished, and would make a lovely venue for any couple looking to get married in Manchester. For more details on the event, have a look here.
The Bridal Roadshow, Harrogate – 17/03/2017
We enjoyed a lovely day at The Bridal Roadshow earlier this week in Harrogate. It was so nice to see our suppliers – Catherine Parry and MiaMia.
First up, MiaMia. I was collecting a swatch of fabric for one of our brides who has fallen in love with Estelle (but with a few alterations!) – MiaMia have been so helpful in this, and it’s a great reminder that just because the sample looks a certain way, doesn’t mean you can’t change the colour, neckline, add or remove buttons/embellishment – it really pays to have an open mind!
Next we were at Catherine Parry. We spent the time picking out the new styles to order into the boutique. Their new Sonnets collection is absolutely stunning and bang on trend – sheer fabric and colour meet the beautiful silhoettes which Catherine Parry do so well.
We’ve just placed an order for two to arrive this Summer – watch this space for the big reveal!
Girl Gets Wed – we’re featured on this fabulous wedding blog! – 10/03/2017
We are absolutely thrilled to be featured in the wonderful wedding blog – Girl Gets Wed. We were interviewed as part of the ‘Supplier Edit’ and you can read the full blog here.
On the blog, you’ll also find really useful advice about all things wedding related – be it cakes, flowers, photography or venues. Michelle, behind the blog, actively adds new content to her blog so make sure you favourite the page, or you can follow them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest!
Honeyblossom Bridal hits the catwalk – 09/03/2017
We were at the Abode Chester’s wedding fayre at the end of February. Our stand featured two of our gowns, and some samples of our veils, belts, customised shoes and our beautiful vintage hankies.
Half way through the fayre, we put on a wedding dress catwalk. Our stunning gowns by Catherine Parry, MiaMia and So Sassi were modelled by our beautiful models Amy and Emily. You may recognise Emily from some of the videos we’ve been sharing across social media! Altogether we showed 14 wedding gowns, with my fiancé Dave, speaking about each of them. Here’s some of the pictures – we’ll be sharing lots of video in the coming weeks so watch out for them!
Huge thanks to Dave, Amy and Emily for their hard work on the catwalk, especially Amy and Emily for keeping me calm in the back!
If you’re a venue or wedding fayre looking to host a catwalk, please get in touch – we may be able to help!
We’re at Cresta Court Altrincham’s wedding fayre tomorrow! – 04/03/2017

Want a photobooth for your wedding? Read here! – 09/02/2017
We’ve been chatting to the lovely people at MCR Photobooths and just wanted to share a little about what they told us! They’re a bit different to the traditional photobooth set up, needing only minimal space at your venue – which means more space for dancing the night away! What’s more, MCR Photobooths work with you to personalise everything from props and backdrops to print templates to match with your theme.
What’s even better is that post wedding, you and your guests can have your favourite photo turned into a variety of items, from mugs to tshirts so that you can have an extra special momento of your big day.
Want more awesome? Ok… MCR Photobooths will give any bride 10% off their prices if you pick up a flyer from our boutique! Make sure to ask for a flyer when you’re with us for your appointment.

ReVamp for Honeyblossom Bridal – stunning beautified shoes – 06/01/2017
We’ve been keeping this under wraps for some time now but we can finally confirm we’re working with ReVamp! We all know that shoes can be an important part of a wedding day – but why be restricted by what’s in the shops, which, even if a suitable pair found, may not be comfortable to dance the night away?
ReVamp have the answer! They can take your favourite pair of shoes (or a new version of the brands you love), and dress them to your heart’s content. Their services range from re-covering shoes completely, hand embroidery, sole painting, accessorising with jewels, glitter, buttons, trims… your imagination is the limit, resulting in a completely individual shoe for your big day.
We’ve got some great examples in the boutique which you can have a look at for inspiration, but for now, here’s some we’ve fallen in love with:
Looking for more than a wedding dress and accessories? Sophisticat Events may have the answer! – 05/01/2017
Once again, we’ve started working with another local supplier in the wedding business – Sophisticat Events. They offer wedding planning services and can help you find just the right supplier for flowers, transport, catering to name a few! In addition, they are also able to supply those fab, fun, finishing touches such as chocolate fountains, candy carts and chair covers.
Sounds like a real stress buster doesn’t it? As if that didn’t sound exciting enough, here’s a financial perk as well – all Honeyblossom brides will receive 10% off their services! Just ask for their card whilst you’re in the boutique.
Happy New Year! – 31/12/2016
We would like to wish all of our customers, suppliers, our local business community, friends and families a Happy New Year. 2016 has been a big one for us – opening a bridal boutique which this time last year, was only a dream. We have had tremendous support from all of those around us, and we couldn’t have done it without you all. Thank you.
We are incredibly excited about 2017 and the brides booked in to find their dream dress with us. We are also looking forward to choosing gowns from our designer’s new collections and have some great new partnerships with local businesses we are looking forward to announcing. Oh and there is that small matter of our wedding 🙂
Enjoy celebrating everyone – see you in 2017 xx
Local media coverage – 13/12/2016
We’re thrilled to have an article on Sale Messenger! You can have a read of the article here: http://www.messengernewspapers.co.uk/news/14959707.Bridal_boutique_lights_up_Sale/
Wedding dresses and pampering – what more could a girl ask for? – 12/12/2016
We’re super excited to say we’re working with a local skincare and cosmetics company! They are offering free mini pamper sessions for those waiting for the bride to strut their stuff in their gown. Sound like fun? Yes it does to us too! The lovely Karen will provide a mini pamper for one or two of your party whilst you’re busy trying on dresses – perfect for a mum, bridesmaid, sister, friend, aunt or gran that wants to look great on your big day!
All of their products are beautifully botanical so no harsh chemicals to worry about. If your guests would be interested in this during your appointment, when booking your appointment, please just mention this and we will check Karen’s availability.
We’ve been interviewed! – 09/12/2016
We’ve been interviewed by the lovely people at Altrincham Duck. You can have a read of the interview here: http://altrinchamduck.co.uk/index.php/news/107-honeyblossom-bridal
I speak a bit more about what our plans are for the future, how its going so far and a little bit about our big day – happy reading!
We heart Serendipitea – 02/12/2016
Unless you’re our first appointment of the day, it’s likely I will be with another bride before your appointment. If you’re super keen and get here early, why not take a short walk to Serendipitea (117 Washway Road, M33 7TY) – http://www.serendipiteaandcoffee.com for a tea or coffee and perhaps a cake before your appointment.
Their opening hours are:
Monday – Friday: 08:00 – 16:00
Saturday: 08:30 – 15:30
Sunday: 09:00 – 14:00
So dependent on the time of your appointment, you could even go there for a post wedding dress try on de-brief!
Come and join us at our launch event! – 26/11/16
Now that we have our doors open, we want to invite you to a launch event to celebrate on Saturday 26 November from 10am. There will be a festive theme as Sale is switching on their Christmas lights that day. Event details can be found here.
Join us for nibbles, drinks and to have a look at our beautiful gowns by So Sassi, MiaMia and Catherine Parry. We also have some lovely veils from The Couture Veil, as well as must have accessories such as belts and hoops.
The event is free, however, so that we can make sure all of our guests are given the attention they deserve (and we can arrange catering!), we ask that you please register by emailing us at honeyblossombridal@gmail.com or calling on 0161 637 6830 letting us know how many people will be in your party. We will then work with you to assign an appropriate timeslot.
We are so excited to share our collections with you, as well as spread some early Christmas cheer!
Feeling festive at Honeyblossom Bridal – 06/11/16
We’ve been getting into the festive spirit at the boutique as Manchester switched their Christmas lights on this weekend – our Christmas tree is up and we have snowflakes in the window!
Our tree is currently joined by the beautiful Nadine by So Sassi. For a bride looking for a modern twist on lace with a statement back, she’s definitely the one for you!
Honeyblossom Bridal is open! – 05/11/16
After all the planning and hard work we are finally open! We’ve been working really hard transforming the unit to create an open, bright space for our brides to enjoy during their appointments. Our style is minimalistic, allowing our gowns to do all the talking.
Here’s our top three favourite things about our boutique:
The racking
The racking is completely bespoke and was put up to make the most of the space in the boutique. It’s made from scaffolding poles, which may sound odd, but you would be amazed the number of uses it has outside of its traditional one! Since putting it up in the boutique, we’ve spotted the poles being used for handrails, in restaurants and bars, as well as other retail establishments. The scaffolding poles were also used to create our spacious changing room.
We just love with contrast between the galvanised industrial scaffolding and our glamorous bridal gowns.
Our seating
Our seating are luxurious velvet folding theatre seats. Viewing your friend/daughter/granddaughter/niece/sister in their bridal gown is a very special, and our chairs definitely bring a sense of occasion.
Don’t worry if your party is more than three people – we have back up chairs (which are slightly less glamorous!)
Our mirrors
Our two side mirrors can each rotate through 90 degrees. This means you get to see all of the lovely detail in our gowns. After all, a bride must look fabulous from all angles on her big day!
Happy Halloween from Honeyblossom Bridal – 31/10/16
Dave and I took a break from the renovations and preparation to play with face paints for Halloween – have a good one everybody!
