Here Comes the Bride(s)!

Calm Amongst the Chaos entered Ringwood's 85th Carnival on the 20th of September with an award winning float entitled 'Here Comes the Bride(s)!'. The float consisted of nine beautiful brides with a whole wedding party in tow; from Mother of the Bride to the Mad Minister of Chaos! The aim was to show off Chaos' love of all things vintage, with a wedding dress for every era since the 1920's adorning the float. Frances Farmer, founder of Calm Amongst the Chaos, wanted to express 'our love for everything glamorous' and to encourage the brides of today to 'be individual and be inspired by the past.' Calm Amongst the Chaos, situated in the heart of Ringwood, felt obliged to be part of such a fun event and let the town know what a great experience having a made to measure dress is. Much like on their float, Chaos also makes bridesmaids dresses and outfits for mothers of the bride and groom, in fact just about any evening or occasion wear you can imagine. They offer a first class service, which is why on Saturday night in the evening procession of the carnival they won first prize in category four- and were over the moon!

A competition was run in honour of the carnival to win a free wedding dress by Calm Amongst the Chaos! With many applicants, the winner will be announced at the end of October, and a diary of their experience of having a wedding dress made at Chaos will be featured monthly on their blog www.theweddingdressdesigner.blogspot.com and their website www.calmamingstthechaos.co.uk.
