Join us as we take a peek behind the doors of the region’s bridal boutiques SEEKING the one A BRIDAL STORY First Floor, Butterworth Barlow House, 10 Derby Street, Prescot, Merseyside, L34 3LG 0151 705 0244 | www.abridalstory.co.uk Jo is the owner of A Bridal Story based in Prescot, Liverpool. She’s been looking after brides in her little boutique since opening in 2000 and in the bridal world since 2018. “I absolutely love what I do as I finally get to live out the dream I’ve had for many years,” she tells us. The boutique boasts a down to earth, relaxed environment and stocks designs from Modeca, Gaia Bridal, Justin Alexander and Jo has just launched her own collection of reimagined, sustainable gowns called Once More with Love. All of these gowns are chosen with love, and carefully selected for their modern, romantic design ensuring there’s something for every bride. “It’s really important to me that every bride has a tailored experience and is made to feel completely at ease, as I know that this is an anxious time for lots of brides to be,” Jo says. “We want you to relax and have the best experience.” With this in mind, she only ever has one bridal appointment in the boutique at a time to give that personal, exclusive appointment for each and every bride. Here, you’ll also find a separate bridesmaids and prom suite, designed to give you and your girls the perfect place to get glam! What’s your favourite gown in store at the moment? My favourite dress changes all the time, I just love them all, but I think at the moment I’d have to say Eryss in our Modeca collection. It’s the perfect mix of classic elegance and modern styling with that touch of romance that I love. She’s a little bit of luxury at a reasonable budget. I love lace and want to incorporate it into my gown. Do you have any suggestions of how I can do this without making the design look old-fashioned? Oh, I love a bit of lace too! Firstly, I’d say that lace doesn’t have to be old-fashioned. There are some stunning modern lace designs to choose from at the moment, such as our Adie gown from Gaia Bridal which has a modern lace bodice. If that’s not for you though, we also love to give our brides the option to have a bespoke design by adding lace appliques to the bodice or train of their gown. This is such a great option as it gives a unique look that no other bride will have. I also need to give the lace veil a mention as it’s such an easy way of adding modern lace to your look. If you’re going for a sleek, simple gown, then the right veil can add a touch of drama without taking anything away from your gown.
