With only one appointment at a time, bridal babes have the space to themselves to peruse the gowns, try on as many pieces as the time allows and find their dream dress in a relaxed, no-pressure environment.

Book a date here for a fun and joyful bridal experience, with a little prosecco to celebrate finding the one – in all senses of the word.

THE WHO’S WHO OF BRIDAL

OK, so let’s drop some names: Rosa Clará, Kay Heeley, Ellis Bridal, Lazaro, Alison Webb, Nicole Milano and White One by Pronovias, as well as Nieve Couture. An impressive line-up of sposa legends, no? Owner Claire and her sartorially savvy team focus on offering classic dresses with a timeless yet modern feel, all with a serving of the contemporary edge that makes the Bridal Box Boutique point of view so unique.

As an elite stockist of Ellis Bridal, Bridal Box Boutique holds the whole collection, and as platinum stockists for Rosa Clará, it hosts a high number of the directional Spanish label’s gowns each year, including some exclusive to the region. All this adds up to a broader, more fashion-forward selection of bridalwear to choose from – ideal for stylish almost-weds.

And for babes on a budget – or simply in a rush – a seriously chic bargain could be found with an off-the-peg appointment to peruse the sale rails. Take home a sensational showstopper the same day for a fraction of the original price – on the website currently, the red carpet-worthy Tropico design by Rosa Clará can be bought for £995, less than half its former full price of £2,600. And if you’re on the hunt for finishing touches, Claire and her team have got you with a stunning selection of accessories and add-ons to complete the big-day ensemble, from veils and hair pieces to belts, sleeves, bows and more.

I COULDN’T RECOMMEND THE BRIDAL BOX BOUTIQUE ENOUGH. CLAIRE WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. NO RUSHED APPOINTMENT, NO PRESSURE AND THE BEST COLLECTION OF QUALITY DRESSES I’VE SEEN SINCE I STARTED SEARCHING. HER EXQUISITE TASTE, KNOWLEDGE AND SELECTION OF DRESSES MADE EVERYTHING SEEM SO EASY.
