The White Rose opens in the Cotswolds

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

After an extremely hectic couple of months I thought I’d finally pull my socks up (were I wearing any) and get back to this lovely blog. With so many exciting things happening, there really is no excuse, so onwards and upwards..

And what better way to start than how we spent a gorgeous sunny afternoon in the Cotswolds yesterday. After a very picturesque drive through the countryside, we arrived in the chocolate-box-pretty Chipping Camden. Looking out for the boutique we suddenly saw an array of models and a stunning vintage car marking the spot!

What can we say about The White Rose? Stunning. A beautifully renovated boutique, stocking only British designers- Suzanne Neville, Stephanie Allin, Ritva Westenius, Joanna Hehir and Caroline Castigliano. Suzanne herself popped in yesterday, along with the lovely Hermione Harbutt (wearing one of her rather stunning pieces), and we all had to admire the work of The White Rose’s proprietor, Danielle McCabe.

After admiring the boutique we were shown to the beautiful Kings Hotel over the road for champagne, canapes and cupcakes whilst being serenaded by the very talented acoustic singer. As if that wasn’t enough we all left with a goody bag of treats from local suppliers- a lovely finishing touch to a superbly put together day.

We’d all like to thank Danielle for hosting such a fantastic afternoon, and wish her every success for The White Rose. But judging by the designers and the boutique itself we don’t think that’s going to be a struggle..x

On Thursday 7th October from 5.30 -8.30pm The Dressing Room in Draycott will be launching their new accessories range with the inclusion of our vintage inspired shoe collection into their boutique  and to celebrate this new partnership they’ll be giving a way a pair of our gorgeous shoes in a free prize draw on the evening.

You’re sure to find something amongst the gorgeous glitzy pieces and fabulous flowers in their new accessory collections. You don’t have to be getting married to enjoy this evening, there will be wine and nibbles, so get a few friends together for a girl’s night out!

For the fashion forward bride, The Dressing Room is a vibrant, new boutique bringing you wedding dresses from the cream of British designers, including fabulous collections from Ritva Westenius, Charlotte Balbier, Augusta Jones and Sharon Bowen Couture.

Proprietors Justine and Elaina believe that choosing your wedding gown should be a memorable and enjoyable experience. Whilst the classic bridal silhouettes form the mainstay of their collections, they pride themselves in catering for the bride that wants a more individual look for their wedding day.

They share a passion for all things vintage so we were delighted to come on board with our shoes.  Justine said ‘Until now we just couldn’t get excited about bridal shoes so we decided not to carry them. Our brides have a strong sense of style and are looking for something a little different. When we found Rachel we knew that our bridal gowns and her shoes would be a match made in heaven and we’ve had a fantastic response to her collection.’
