November in the Boutique đź’•

Hello everyone, it’s Claire here from Not Just Brides, and I can’t quite believe how quickly this year is flying by! November is fast approaching, the nights are drawing in, and the boutique feels wonderfully cosy as we help brides, prom-goers, and families get ready for some truly special moments.

 

A Magical Month for Brides 👰‍♀️

November is one of my favourite months for bridal appointments. The atmosphere is calm, the excitement is building for next year’s weddings, and our rails are full of beautiful gowns from Pure by Romantica of Devon and Emma Bridals.

We’ve been welcoming lots of lovely brides recently who are planning 2025 and even 2026 weddings. I always say — it’s never too early to start your bridal journey! Finding “the one” is such a special experience, and it’s a joy to see each bride light up when she steps into her perfect dress.

If you’re thinking of saying yes to your dress soon, November is the perfect time to visit — before our Christmas rush begins.

 

Saying Goodbye to Some Favourites – End of Season Sale 💍

We’re still running our End of Season Sale this month, with incredible offers on selected wedding and prom dresses. As new collections arrive for 2026, we’re making space on the rails — which means you could find your dream gown at a fraction of the usual price.

It’s been wonderful seeing brides and prom girls leaving with huge smiles (and even bigger bargains!). But once these dresses are gone, they really are gone — so I’d recommend booking your appointment soon if you’d like to take a look.

 

Prom Excitement Already Beginning ✨

Believe it or not, we’re already seeing a steady stream of prom-goers! Our Gino Cerruti and Romantica of Devon prom collections are stunning this year — full of sparkle, colour, and confidence.

I absolutely love seeing each girl’s personality shine through, whether she’s drawn to a glittering ballgown or a sleek fitted style. And for those looking ahead to Prom 2026, it’s never too early to start exploring — especially if you want the widest choice before the rush.

 

Suits & Formalwear – Always in Style 🤵

Our Peter Posh suits have been flying out for weddings, proms, and special occasions. Whether you’re a groom looking for something classic and timeless or a prom guest after something sharp and modern, we’ve got both hire and off-the-peg options available.

My team and I take great pride in making sure every gentleman walks out feeling confident and perfectly fitted.

 

A Warm Thank You đź’•

As we approach the end of the year, I just want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s visited the boutique recently. Whether you’re a bride, groom, prom-goer, or proud parent — your support means the world to me and my small business.

Since opening Not Just Brides in 2014, it’s been such a privilege to be part of so many unforgettable moments. November always reminds me why I love what I do — helping people feel incredible on life’s most important days.

 

Pop In and Say Hello đź‘—
