Before posting this week's designer highlight I just wanted to first apologise Ladies (and any gentlemen) for the unexplained absence over the past few weeks. The truth is that there's been a lot going on with the OFD ladies - one new job, one house renovation, one conference presentation abroad, one long-awaited project finally kicking off, not to mention one pesky volcano messing up a whole lot of plans. But we're back, and we're here to stay, so I am solemnly promising no further mysterious disappearances.

We're planning on publishing 3 times a week for the next few weeks and then when everything is back on an even keel we will review and hopefully all the non-nuptial stuff will have calmed down and we'll have more time to spend on our favourite things - everything bridal (in case you hadn't guessed).

We also had a little think about the format of the site, and over the next while we're going to introduce some changes - just in terms of the structure. As always, we love to hear comments and feedback so do let us know what you think...

So now to return to regular scheduled programming....
