Joanne Packwood had been thinking about changing her career for some time searching for something challenging and fulfilling, but was uncertain of what direction to head in, but inspiration struck when she remembered the experience she had choosing when her own wedding dress and realised this was a service she could offer Epping Forest District residents.
She had a very memorable experience choosing her wedding dress at a lovely shop in Epping, which sadly has now closed down. They gave their customers the personal one to one touch and she remembers clearly how special they made her feel when choosing the most important dress you will ever wear.
Joanne wanted to emulate the special service she had received at this store, but to go one step further by offering an appointment only service ensuring absolute one to one personal attention when choosing a wedding dress in her boutique.
The location was important as Joanne wanted to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere that could not be achieved in a busy, noisy high street store, so she was delighted when she discovered Warlies Park House in Upshire which is an 18th Century Grade II listed mansion set in 10 acres of beautiful landscaped gardens.
Despite its rural location it is in easy reach of local Epping Forest town centres of Waltham Abbey, Epping, Loughton, Debden and Ongar, near to junction 26 of the M25 and Epping and Loughton tube stations for customers who live outside of the district.
She has managed to capture the atmosphere she was looking for and the boutique's personal service reputation is growing and word is spreading, so if you are looking for a wedding dress why not enjoy a free fitting with a no obligation consultation at a time that is convenient to you at Abbey Wedding Dresses.
