Nortier Shallow

Well hello there, it’s been a minute!

The wheels are still very much turning at Nortier Shallow HQ and we were very excited to find out we had be shortlisted as a Regional Finalist in The Wedding Industry Awards in the revived category of seamstress or tailor.

This is our first time in 12 years of being in bridal of entering any sort of awards and it’s been a really good exercise in examining our business and defining what we stand for within the bridal industry. It’s also a great excuse to get dressed up and network with industry peers!

The regional final is on November 27th so stay tuned to find out how we do. In the meantime, have a little peak at our sewing studio, where all the magic happens ✨

A huge thank you to all our brides who took the time to vote for us, it really means the world ❤️

Today we are standing with all other members of the wedding community and ask you all to share this image and stand with us.
⠀
This campaign is not only for wedding creatives, suppliers and employees, it’s not only for engaged couples planning their weddings and their families, it’s a stand for culture and tradition, to recognise the importance of the institution of marriage as part of our national identity.
⠀
The wedding sector is unique in its structure, consisting of thousands of independent businesses run by tenacious and passionate entrepreneurs following their dreams. It is an industry founded in happiness and in creating moments which transcend people’s lives and form part of their family history. We are about celebrating unity, so we ask you to unite with us in turning instagram pink while we ask for a clear roadmap to reopening.
⠀
We recognise that, right now, it’s right for weddings to be off the table, however, last year we experienced huge disparity vs other businesses within the hospitality sector, especially pubs and restaurants. We want to be on a level playing field with other hospitality businesses when the time is right to do so.
⠀
We encourage you all to share this image in solidarity with all those affected by the closure of this sector.

Into the woods...

It lifts our spirits even more than it normally would to receive photos of our brides wedding days this year. It’s a real testament to the importance of declaring your love and making your union official in the face of everything 2020 has throw at us and the compromises and restrictions weddings especially are under.

Well, here we go again guys.

It seemed unfathomable, it seemed inevitable. We are currently collecting our thoughts and formulating a plan.
⠀
All Appointments booked up till Wednesday will be honoured unless we hear otherwise. We will be opening Monday to Wednesday next week. If anyone would like to collect their dress earlier, please drop us a line and we will do our best to finish the alterations in time. We will be in touch tomorrow with those who may need to bring fittings forward.

We’re feeling quite heartbroken, and we’re sure you all are too. We’re all in this together though, so let’s focus on those amazing weddings that are to come when covid is just a memory.
❤️
