Love is not cancelled and we have been celebrating Love in Hampshire since opening our doors in 1976!

Firstly Bride-to-be….Congratulations!!!! You’ve found your perfect partner and you’ve said yes to forever. The journey to find the perfect wedding dress has begun!

Your wedding dress is the most important dress you will ever wear. One of our brides famously said ” Its not ALL about the wedding dress….but it sort of it, you know?” YES we do! Your wedding dress represents your entrance to the world as a Mrs and your finale as a Miss. Above all, we want you to love not just the dress itself, but the journey too!

The journey of finding your wedding dress should match who you are! Firstly, It should be fun, with no pressure. Secondly, it should be relaxed, inspiring, full of options of styles, sizes and prices, but most importantly, it should be focused on you. We have helped over 18,000 brides along so rest assured, you will be in the best and safest of hands. Some Brides skip in with lots of enthusiasm, some are VERY nervous…its ok to be either!

We have soooo much choice (over 250 bridal gowns) in all different shapes and styles. From dramatic ballgowns, floaty boho, to sexy slinky gowns; there is something for everyone. In other words, no matter what your vision is, we can show you the most breath-taking wedding dresses in Hampshire!

Whilst you are here, have a browse, get inspired and get in touch! Click here for our FAQs section, it’s great if you have never shopped before or just want to be prepared. No question is silly and there is never a “too early” or “too late” at Brides of Southampton. Therefore, if you want to ask something we have not covered, drop us an email at info@bridesofsouthampton.co.uk. Wherever you are on your journey, we will be happy to help you.

If you want even more inspiration check out our Instagram, Facebook and Youtube channel and give us a follow. Want to find out what others thought of their experience? Head on over to our google page and Facebook reviews!

Testimonials

  • Lovely staff, all very helpful and friendly. Staff know their dresses and you can just explain a style and they pick out the exact dress. Fantastic range of dresses and loved the overall experience. My mum bought her wedding dress from here in 1991 and then my nan bought her dress from here in 1993 and now I get to buy my dress from here too!

    Emily
  • I had the best day yesterday! It was my second time coming back to the shop, the ladies were amazing and got me to try on a dress that I wasn’t even thinking of, turns out the staff knew my style better than me!! I’m so happy with the service and can not wait to go back and have my dress fitting!

    Steph
  • Lovely, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Even though I’m on the bigger side they had lots of dresses for me to try on. Lena was my consultant and she was fab! Knew the stock well and what sort of dresses would flatter my shape.

    Tracey
  • Best experience of my life. The staff were so amazing and welcoming and honestly couldn’t do enough to help me find my dream dress which I did!

    Jordanna Hughes
  • No words explain how amazing Michelle made me feel about my body when trying on the dresses as I’m very body conscious. She made me feel beautiful in the dresses and we had so much fun and laughter!
    I came here 4 years ago with my sister , and know I will return in the future with my little girl when it is her turn

    Hannah Briggs
  • The Southampton store had so much choice to pick from. The dresses are beautiful and the assistants are really helpful in narrowing down the style of dress to suit you!

    Grace Newman
  • I can’t thank Gemma enough for giving us the most wonderful experience. Her professionalism, wisdom, patience and understanding know no bounds. All of the dresses are beautiful!

    Charly Callaghan
  • This is a great shop – such a lovely, warm, welcoming environment from the moment I walked through the door. The staff are fantastic, loads of experience and nothing is too much trouble. Really impressed with the choice of dresses too!

New week, new Month!!! Warning: slightly emotiona New week, new Month!!!

Warning: slightly emotional and honest post...

I don't mind admitting that last week was a tough and emotional one. I knew that it would be intense following the announcement but I was not fully prepared for the reality of recieving hundreds of emails, inquiries and questions within 72 hours from both existing Brides and new customers. As someone who is intensely passionate about what I do, it's sometimes very easy to get into bad habits... I am guilty of working on my day off and working well into the night on a regular basis because I want our customers to feel valued and heard at all times. Whilst it's commendable and well received, it's not healthy and by last Friday I felt very poorly with both physical and mental exhaustion. I have no doubt that many of my friends in the wedding industry had exactly the same week, desperately wanting to be on hand but not having enough hours or resources to do it and feeling overwhelmed with guilt over what you couldn't do instead of fucusing on what had been achieved.
One week on, I have caught up with nearly everyone and am feeling a lot more positive, I am not normally one to bare my soul but I just wanted to give you a glimpse into what it has been like and why we have been so quiet on social media. 
I would like thank you all for patience, kindness and understanding over the last week.  The smallest acts of kindness or acknowledgements of just how hard everyone in the wedding industry is working is so very appreciated and doesn't go unnoticed.
Wishing you all a magical March
Gem x x x

Tonight's announcement... Like all of our Brides Tonight's announcement...

Like all of our Brides and fellow suppliers we are desperate to know what the next few months will look like and will be digesting all of the information this evening.
Following this, we will have a lot of reorganising and catching up to do with our Brides and this will take time.
We ask for your patience over the next week whilst we deal with whatever new obstacles we all may face so please do send any questions or updates to our email address and not through social media.
Sending you all huge cyber hugs.

We hope that we can reopen again soon, it's been a very tough two months being away from our brides and not knowing how we can move forward.
