Get the perfect outfit to attend any wedding
Moda Dea opened in September 2009 in a small shop in Barrhead. Owner, Rosemarie McInally, had identified a real need for a boutique in the area for all the fashionistas in the surrounding districts.
The boutique quickly became a huge success and Rosemarie and team had created a jewel in the crown in Barrhead. Unsurprisingly, they outgrew the shop and moved to larger premises at 98 Cross Arthurlie Street – allowing them to offer a much larger range of fashion specialising in mother of the bride/groom, cocktail and casual wear in sizes 8-26.
To accessorise there are fabulous hats/fascinators to match every outfit and the award-winning Rainbow shoes are also available which can be dyed any colour. A fabulous selection of jewellery is available to add the finishing touch.
Rosemarie and team are passionate about making their clients feel good about themselves whatever the occasion, understanding what suits all shapes and sizes and have a wealth of experience in the fashion industry, aiming to provide them with an enjoyable shopping experience.
Rosemarie travels all over Europe to bring new labels to the shop with an emphasis on fabulous fabrics, styles and fit. The team has a passion for fashion and customer service will always be a top priority.
There is no doubt why they won the award for Best Fashion Boutique in Glasgow in the Scottish Business Awards last year and also won the Scottish Women’s Awards for the Best Independent Retail Business in Scotland.

Give your guests a taste of Italy
Pizza Via is a mobile wood fired pizza van that brings a little bit of Italy to you.
They cook the pizza in the traditional way – in a wood fired oven – using authentic Italian ingredients wherever possible, to create a thin, crispy and flavoursome pizza.
From day one Pizza Via has been true to their philosophy using only the finest Italian products. Their Italian supplier sources products on a weekly basis from the Italian markets, including cheeses and various meats. The sauce is very simple, just crushed tomatoes and nothing else – it gives the pizza a wonderful fresh, light taste. The vegetables are fresh and of the best quality and they use locally grown produce.
At Pizza Via the dough is cooked 400+ degrees in the wood fired oven and only using authentic imported Italian 00 grade flour. Their bespoke mobile catering unit is designed to create a sense of theatre and allow the customer to see the pizzaiolo work the dough, add the ingredients and cook the pizza.
The unit has been specifically designed to accommodate the Bushman Wood Fired Oven and was fitted out by a specialist catering company.
