Congratulations on your engagement.

I am really happy to welcome you to our wonderful Team to help you with your wedding attire.

I bought Wedding Time 34 years ago and have loved every minute of helping brides find their dream dress for their wedding. Having take the time to listen and learn over the years now gives me the chance to pass on that experience to our bride's whilst trying on dresses. Deborah, my in house seamstress but more to the point a valued member of the team and a friend, has been here with me since 3 months after purchasing the shop and she is so talented and amazing at the alterations that she provides to our brides. I am very lucky to have her here.

17 years ago we added a small room of wedding suits available for hire and in no time the ground floor was full of suits. We have helped so many grooms over the years making sure that they have everything perfect for their day. In the last 6 years we introduced more suits to purchase from Marc Darcy, Benetti, Charles Grey and more recently Cavani. These suits sit reall well alongside our hiring suits giving flexibility to our Grooms buying a suit and hiring for the remainder of the party.

Apart from loving my job and working with Deborah and Becky, a little about me outside of shop. I was born in Dorchester and have only moved away for a short time. I love to be outdoors, walking and being with friends. Since a young age I have had a passion for horses and used to compete but since 4 years ago I no longer ride. I gym and golf! Not quite the same but really good anyway.

I would love to welcome you to my shop and hope to see you in the not too distant future.

Tracy
