Wishing Kate and William a happy wedding day

April 29th is almost here and royal wedding fever ( or indeed lack of it) is growing. I dressed the window at Coccuveda in a vintage wedding theme, all looks very lovely if I do say so myself. The wedding dress is an edwardian style high necked ivory piece which ticked the box for the vintage look i wanted, but I have to stress, just in case you thought that it was my wedding dress, it most definitly was not. My own dress was far more beautiful than that. My daughter thought that it reminded her of an old victorian nightie and it creates an almost ghostly figure in the window. I have made some lovely bunting to go outside too i will wait till Thursday to put that up just in case there is rain between now and then. If you are in Rothbury on Friday anytime after 2pm, please call in and have a cake and a glass of bubbly to toast the right royal pair

New Designs


It has been a busy month at Coccuveda,  lots of people begining to think about up and coming weddings they are going to. The design "HAT"  has been well and truly on, bridesmaid's tiaras, mother/grandmother of the bride headpieces and new items like bridal horseshoes and button necklaces, creativity has been working overtime. With the royal wedding just around the corner now i am thinking about how Coccuveda should mark the occasion. With the actual wedding in the morning, and I don't want to miss a thing, shop opening might be delayed til around 1pm but I think I might have a late night opening event til about 8pm and we may have glasses of celebration bubbly and cake  for all our customers, not quite a street party but a shop party. I will keep you all informed
