When you’re searching for the perfect dress for your wedding day, you want a boutique you can walk into and feel instantly comfortable and relaxed. It’s a big deal trying to find your dress and having the friendly support of a boutique owner as well as friends and family can make the shopping experience a dream.
The Dress Bridal Boutique launched October 2024, offering a special experience from the moment you book the appointment to the moment you find ‘the dress’.
Brides should feel heard when wedding dress shopping, so owner Katrina’s mission is to always deliver more than the bride ever expected. “Many come to their appointments not knowing what they want, but by asking just a few questions, I always know which direction we need to go in. Appointments (typically between 1.5 to 2 hours) are never rushed as you should enjoy the whole experience. We always recommend a maximum of four guests at the appointment because it’s critical the bride can focus on what they want and not feel overwhelmed with lots of opinions.”
The Dress Bridal Boutique has a perfect position in the centre of Oswestry and only a minute’s walk from Central Car Park. It seems the availability of 4 Old Chapel Court came just at the right time for Katrina as it offers a private area above the shop floor where brides can change and try on dresses. If stairs are an issue, Katrina can accommodate.
You’ll only find beautiful, stylish designer dresses in the boutique and never the bland. Samples in store are Élysée, Morilee, Martina Liana and Enzoani and cover sizes 8-16. All the dresses are listed on the website, so you can choose your top 5 favourites to try before you attend your appointment. With Katrina on hand to help you, she understands what will suit your body type and can help you consider some styles you might have missed.
Katrina explains, “When I was 16 I worked in a bridal shop, and in all honesty, I think I spent more time trying on the dresses and dreaming of my ‘special day’ than actually doing any work. But I had the best time and that feeling never left me! When it came to my own wedding, I felt overwhelmed by all the dresses and felt scared to even touch them. So, I eventually decided to design my own dress, and I’ve always felt I missed the magic of the experience.
“My dream now is to make sure brides always feel comfortable, confident and happy when they leave their appointment.”
