The Lily’s Boutique 2024 Prom Fashion Show was nothing short of spectacular! On the 18th of September, we hosted a night to remember at the luxurious Aston Hall Hotel’s Virage Suite, surrounded by a packed audience eager to see the latest in prom fashion. Girls from all over the region, along with their mums, grans, and families, came together for a dazzling evening. And with over 70 tickets sold, we filled every single seat!
We’re also thrilled to announce that thanks to the generosity of our guests, we raised £500 for Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Giving back has always been close to our hearts, and we’re so grateful to everyone who contributed to this wonderful cause.
The magic behind the scenes
Pulling off such an event was of course a team effort, and we owe a massive thank you to all the suppliers who helped bring this fashion show to life.
First off, we couldn’t have asked for a more elegant venue than the Virage Suite at Aston Hall Hotel. Its spacious, chic setting was the perfect backdrop for our show, giving our guests an enchanting experience from the moment they arrived.
For our stunning visuals, we were lucky to have Light Up Hire and Viva Events UK, who created a breathtaking backdrop that set the perfect stage for the night’s festivities.
And when it came to the models, Nikita George and Megan Murdoch truly outdid themselves with the makeup. Their artistry ensured each model looked radiant and ready to shine under the lights.
Of course, the highlight of the show was the spectacular light-up dance floor catwalk, expertly designed by ADP Events Ltd and Shaun. He didn’t just bring the runway to life, he also curated the music, keeping the energy high throughout the show.
And let’s not forget the behind-the-scenes heroes — our dedicated helpers! They worked tirelessly, steaming dresses, assisting models, and ensuring every detail was in place, making sure the evening flowed perfectly. We couldn’t have done it without all of you and we’re so grateful to the wonderful community we have backing us!
Our fabulous models
Our models definitely deserve a special shout-out! They weren't just strutting up and down the catwalk, they were the heart and soul of the show. Many of them were former prom girls themselves, while others now work with us, so they were all able to bring plenty of knowledge and not just their beauty to the show. Afterwards, these amazing ladies stayed in their gowns, mingled with the audience, and kindly answered any prom related questions from the crowd.
The prom community
We were blown away by the turnout from prom girls and their families, coming from all over the area, including schools like Kirk Balk Barnsley, Ridgewood Doncaster, Outwood Shafton, and many more. It was such a joy to see so many faces eager to find that perfect dress for their special day.
Every girl who attended the show received a special goody bag on entry, packed with fun prom stickers, sweets, and a voting slip where they could cast their vote for their favourite dress. We also made sure the mums weren’t left out, gifting them a stylish Lily’s Boutique shopping bag.
And the winner is…
At the end of the night, we pulled a lucky winner out of the box, and we’re excited to announce that Ruby is the winner of her prom dress! Two runners-up, Hannah and Aimee, also walked away with a discount off their chosen gowns.
As for the styles that stole the show? The prom girls voted for a wide variety of stunning dresses, but some of the top picks were Bessy, Petra, Ria, Saffron, Toya, Frankie, and Aurelia. Each dress had its moment in the spotlight, and it was clear that our audience loved the selection on offer.
Over 100 dresses in 1 hour
Our show was a whirlwind of fashion, featuring over 100 dresses in just an hour! We divided the show into themed sections, each highlighting a range of beautiful colours and styles. We kicked things off with classic hues like red, sapphire blue, and teal green, followed by elegant dark greens, vibrant yellows and oranges, and sweet pastel pink. But we didn’t stop there — we also showcased the boldness of hot pinks, soft pale blues, timeless black, and rich midnight blues.
No prom show would be complete without the ethereal beauty of white, silver, lilac, gold, rose gold, and champagne. The variety was endless, ensuring that every girl in the audience could find something to fall in love with.
We also made sure to feature a range of styles to suit every taste, from slinky satins, dramatic fish tails, and elegant a-lines, to full, fairy-tale-worthy ball gowns. Each section had between 6 to 8 models showing off these stunning creations, providing plenty of inspiration for the girls planning their big day.
A grand finale
For our grand finale, we brought out the biggest and most jaw dropping ball gowns in the brightest, boldest colours of the rainbow. It was a fitting end to a night that celebrated not only fashion but also community, creativity, and generosity.
Thank you to everyone who came, to all the amazing teams and suppliers who helped make the night possible, and to our fantastic models who lit up the runway. We can’t wait to see what 2025 brings — and we hope to see you at next year’s show!
