Your West Midlands Wedding - August/September (Issue 81)

All the latest from around the West Midlands PLANNED TO PERFECTION The Bank House Hotel Spa & Golf Club in Worcester has announced its new online wedding planner. The planner takes couples on a step-by-step journey through their wedding day and allows them to choose exactly what they want for their special day. It’s divided into three main sections – ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception – all of which can be included or excluded from the day. A focus has been put on the excellent dining options that the hotel offers. Couples can tailor-make their wedding breakfast menu by choosing from a range of starters, mains and desserts, and also add additional courses, canapés, drinks, and evening dining options, all of which are individually priced. Adam Richards, the general manager of the Bank House Hotel Spa & Golf Club, said: “We’ve been looking at our wedding offering for some time. After much research and discussion, it’s clear that brides and grooms want choice, not to be pigeonholed into a package that may not suit them. Our new wedding planner is a simple tool for people to find out what their actual wedding day might cost from the first enquiry. The key to our new bespoke concept is flexibility and allows couples to spend money on the elements that are important to them and leave out those that are not. No two couples are the same so no two weddings should be the same either.” To find out more about the Bank House Hotel Spa & Golf Club, visit www.bankhouseworcester.com/wedding-planner DRESSED TO IMPRESS The Dressing Rooms Bridal in Birmingham has launched a new look and website. The changes will see The Dressing Rooms re-group after an extraordinarily busy period fulfilling postpandemic orders. It has been a brilliant and exciting few months, and the re-brand has given Rebecca Baddeley and her team a much-needed focus. The founder and managing director said: “I’m so excited to launch this rebrand! The Dressing Rooms is constantly developing, and we wanted our new brand to reflect who we are. It’s been a long time coming to collate, create and develop the look we wanted, and I’m so pleased with the final styling. It reflects TDR but also takes us back to our roots, which has values that we hold true for all of our brides.” Working with some of the bridal industry’s biggest names, including Justin Alexander, Enzoani, Morilee, Ellis and Sassi Holford, TDR has more than 400 gowns in the boutique for brides to try.
