Gladrags Weddings

The wedding of a daughter or son, is probably one of the most important days in the mother of the bride or groom’s life. On this special wedding day, greeting family and friends, old and new, a woman will want to look her fashion best.

The last few years have seen a change in fashion attitude of the modern woman, mother of the bride or groom. She wants to look stylish, fashion conscious and sometimes a little bit different, not necessarily a traditional mother of the bride dress. The ideal outfit would be one that is perfect for the big wedding day but that could be worn for other occasions.

At Gladrags we understand this and are confident that we can provide the perfect, individual look for you. We are one of the very few places that provide a complete, wedding top to toe service.

Our hat and fascinator styles are exclusive to us and we choose the colour combinations to compliment the outfits from collections such as Libra, Michael H, Dusk, Paule Vasseur, Maria Coca and Marié Mero to name just a few. Our fashion shoes and bags are bought in the same way with us personally selecting the styles, then choosing the colours we would like them to be made in. This ensures we can create a unique look just for you.

Please contact us if you require any further information or come in and see us at our St. Albans shop for a relaxed friendly wedding consultation.

Note: Wedding services are available only at our St. Albans store
