I’m a Self-Esteem Life Coach and I run this website for Koulla. Self-esteem can go up and down in life. Sometimes we don’t feel good about ourselves and that we aren’t coping well with the challenges of life. I am a qualified coach who helps people understand what’s feelings and actions are present for them, what choices they have and helps people connect strongly to memories and experiences of themselves as accepting, asserting and respecting themselves.

Sometimes Mothers of the Bride come into the shop saying they are “not really a dress-up” sort of person or they are finding it difficult to decide on what to wear. It could be that that’s just about being overwhelmed with the choice of what is to offer. In some cases, the Mother of the Bride wants a great outfit, not only to look great on the day, but to feel great and to feel great about themselves. The outfits are fabulous and will mean that people shower you with compliments.
If there is more to feeling good about yourself than any outfit can offer, then you may want to be more comfortable with your environment, actions and feelings. Accepting difficult feelings and asserting yourself can be a challenge. I work with people to peel back the layers of what’s happening so they can understand their feelings and raise their sense of self-worth.

We’d like to announce the arrival of our “Mother of the Bride” Ronald Joyce collection. Click the video below to play it.
I had a Mother of the Bride and a Bride in our shop recently. The mother became emotional when she realised she had happily found the right outfit for her daughter’s wedding. The Mother of the Bride said that years ago, people didn’t spend that amount on a wedding dress. The daughter said “You deserve it Mum. Don’t think of the cost. You put me through university and it’s your time too.” It touching to see such family moments.
When the Mother of the Bride meets the Mother of the Groom, it may be the first time they get a real sense of what the wedding will be like and what the new enlarged family looks like. Each mother likely to want the best for her off-spring. Dealing with them respectfully, inclusively and with compliments mat go a long way.
Guidelines for Mother of the Bride or Groom and all the family on communication and organisation during wedding planning
Know your role in the wedding and agree it with the bride and groom (or each other).
If you’re the Mother of the Bride or Groom, think about what kind of relationship you want with your new son or daughter-in-law. They may also want you to feel included in their day and their lives and it will help if you each think of the others’ needs. You may be able to help them greatly in many ways, and they will have their own ideas that they will want you to hear. If you help establish a great relationship with both of the happy couple, you can benefit for many years after the big day.
Assert yourself. Honest open communication helps people accomodate people’s needs.
Be someone who can be talked to directly and easily. Encourage people to remember everyone’s needs and to be mature enough for tact and consideration for others.
Assert yourself but appropriately. Realise the consequences of what you say and your requests. The budget, guest list, seating plan and theme can easily be disrupted.
Check what should be said to whom. Telling people wedding secrets can annoy the bride and groom.
Aim for direct communication with everyone about issues. When communication is indirect, check for people telling tales; aggressive behaviour that is masked to seem innocent; unreasonable requests and grudges being kept.
Find ways to accomodate others, especially those who contribute financially.
If anyone is throwing a tantrum, remember how important it is to build great long-term relationships. Ask everyone to act take responsibility for their effect on others, the budget and making the day work well. If someone gets upset, it doesn’t automatically mean you have to change your plans, but do think about what’s reasonable in the situation and listen to suggestions from others .

We had the pleasure of serving a customer from Egypt who came into the shop in December. She came into the shop with her daughter and future son-in-law and bought a long lace dress and jacket in a beautiful blue colour. She found the short train ride from Victoria very easy.
