Bridal Boutique at Frox of Falkirk
It’s all go at mother of the bride boutique Frox of Falkirk. The occasionwear collections are moving to a new home a few doors down, and the team are launching a bridal boutique in the current store in March. Gracing the rails will be stunning dresses from Oronovias, Modeca, Cabotine, Christina Wu and plus-size label Cara Mia. There will also be pretty accessories from Elizabeth Dickens and Miranda Templeton.
Melle Cloche, Glasgow
Glasgow bridal accessory boutique Melle Cloche has a busy year ahead. After moving to a new home in the former Elegance Bridal Boutique, the team also decided to expand into bridalwear. The Merchant City is the place to head to for dresses from designers such as Alfred Angelo, Lou Lou Bridal, Justin Alexander and Romantica. New for the 2016 takeover will be wedding dresses by Lusan Mandongus, Ti Adora by Alvina Valenta and Louise Bentley. Don’t forget to bring your bridesmaids, as they can try on gorgeous gowns from Twobirds, Ghost and Bari Jay. Alongside the already stellar collection of headpieces and jewellery available at the previous west end boutique, will be accessories from Rachel Simpson Shoes and Rainbow Club.
