Favourite Christmas Cocktails from Brides by the Sea
âLeave the Closed sign up for now, Sera.â
Jess, my boss and mentor, is thinking ahead as usual, talking to me over her shoulder, as I wait for her to unlock the door to Brides by the Sea, the most popular wedding shop in all of Cornwall and where Iâm lucky enough to work. Even though I pass them every day, the trails of frosted ivy and those cascades of tulle in the Christmas window displays still send shivers down my spine which are nothing to do with the icy blast of the December wind thatâs howling across St Aidan Bay. I know most brides choose to get married in summer, but when I see the whirl of hanging snowflakes and the sparkle of sequins against the snowy lace dresses, I completely understand why my sister, Alice, fell in love with the idea of getting married at Christmas. In less than a weekâs time, a hundred and fifty guests will be descending on a Cornish country house for her four-day-long wedding celebration. Yes, itâs as epic and ambitious as it sounds. Only a power house like Alice would ever try to pull it off. As for whether sheâll succeed⦠Well, watch this space.
Coming back down to earth this morning, beyond the suspended silver baubles flashing with the reflections of a thousand fairy lights of the window displays, the remnants of last nightâs staff Christmas-drinks party are waiting for us inside the shop. As the warm air of the entrance hall wraps around us, I peer through into The White Room, where we were partying last night, then pull back sharply.
âJeez, it looks as if a giant party popper exploded in there.â The low whistle I let out is to hide my horror at the mess. From the number of glasses, youâd have thought weâd invited the whole town, not just a few close friends from the business.
