We wanted to introduce you to Sarah Hackett, the proud new owner of Rookery Bridal. "I purchased the boutique in October," she tells us. "It was previously part of Rookery Manor Hotel and was called Rookery Manor Bridal. We dropped the 'Manor' from the name and set out to become the most popular bridal boutique in Somerset; we've already been nominated for a Global Wedding Award!"
Sarah added to the collection of designers already in store, with collections from world-famous designers such as Paloma Blanca, Justin Alexander and Rosa Clara. Another top-secret range is on its way to the boutique.
"Running the business with my lovely manager Lin Ogden is a pleasure," Sarah says. "We meet so many great people and love being a part of their wedding journey. We want to do as much as possible for our brides, which is why we offer styles at most price points and sizes. We also have a stunning range of accessories, flowergirls' outfits and bridesmaids' dresses."

Just 7 percent of divorced Brits had a prenuptial agreement in place before separating, highlighting a significant gap between perception and reality. Regionally, attitudes vary. Manchester has emerged as the UK's 'prenup capital', with 13 percent of divorced couples having one in place, compared to 8 percent in London and 11 percent in Birmingham. Meanwhile, cities including Liverpool and Southampton reported no uptake among those surveyed.

Pre-wedding nerves, relationship advice and the secrets to a long, happy marriage
