We are Wedding Belles of Four Oaks in Sutton Coldfield and we are one of the leading bridal shops in the Midlands.

We pride ourselves on our customer service and in fact came runner up in the Wedding Ideas Awards for Best Bridal Retailer.  An award we were honoured to receive.

Our experience and honest advice, along with one of the best collections available, should provide you with all the information and inspiration you need to find you dream dress.

We have now taken collection of all our 2011 bridal gowns and they are so beautiful, it’s hard to pick a favourite.  We love the slinky sexy dresses for all you Jessica rabbit girls out there, but also love the new Colet dress called Grace.

We are loving all the colours that are around for the summer, the brights are stunning especially when teamed up with other bright colours. Don’t be scared of colour, the right combination really can work.

All the gorgeous dresses featured and so many more can be found at Wedding Belles of Four Oaks bridal shop where you will be made more than welcome.

Alternative Hen Party Ideas

Think of a Hen party and the first thing that springs to most peoples minds is fancy dress, drinking and dancing! But what if your not the fancy dress, drinking and dancing type of gal?

Here's our suggestions for a more understated yet still fun Hen party...

1. Most obvious choice would have to be a nice relaxing spa break! Personally my idea of heaven and should be a monthly requirement for all mummies but thats going off on a tangent! Back to Hen nights... SpaBreak.co.uk have some great suggestions of hen weekend spa's. Be sure to check before you book as some Spa's may not allow big groups!

2. A suggestion thats bound to go down well with your hubby to be is a Cooking Class. You could even hire a chef to come to your own home to teach you and friends how to make some delicious dishes. And then afterwards you can all sample delights you have whipped up. Or if it didn't go so well... order in pizza!!

3. Camping! Take a road trip and roast marshmallows on the camp fire (if people actually do that in real life) This should maybe really read, go camping, be freezing and have dodgy hair. In all seriousness though camping is a major giggle and your bound to have lots of fun.and you can even stay in one of those cool wigwam tents now!

4. Wine tasting. With lots of wine tasting sessions all over the uk offering tons of different packages your bound to fine something to tantilise your tastebuds. Just remember your not supposed to actually drink the wine!

5. Personal shopper experience. With lots of your favourite high street stores now offering a personal shopper experience why not grab a few of your best girlfriends and enjoy the experience together! Some of these stores even offer this service for free.

There are tons more suggestions, like a flower arranging class, cottage retreat, hot air balloon ride, adventure days the list is endless really. 

Hope you have found our top suggestions useful we would love to hear your ideas...

Twigs and Candles

We showcased a new centrepiece a few weeks ago at the Your West Midlands Wedding Magazine wedding fayre and again at Walsall FC Spring Bridal show the following week. It went down really well with the brides to be!

Its really beautiful when the lights are slightly dimmed and for those of you who are not allowed naked flames at your venue, we use battery operated tealights. A safer option for all and you still get the romantic glow of candles.

We hope you like it!!

Chair Covers - The SGD way...

Here at SGD we are a little bored of seeing the same old bow on chair covers as pretty as they look theres just nothing original about them!

So we have come up with our own fresh original and unique designs to dress our chair covers... we hope you like them!

Thats just a selection of some of the designs we can do, and we have lots of new exciting ideas to come over the summer months...

Hope you like them we would love to hear your comments so don't be shy :-)
