THAT’S THE ONE Chapel Lane, Farnborough, GU14 9BL 07787 181 195 | www.thatstheonebridal.co.uk Newcomer to the local wedding scene, family run business That’s the One launched in April this year. With a background in designing and making wedding, bridesmaid and prom dresses, opening a bridal boutique had been a lifelong dream for owner Lynn Dunlop. She aims to provide an individual, welcoming experience allowing brides to take their time to find their perfect dress. “We work closely with British Bridal so customers can order their dream gown and we also have ready-to-go dresses that they can take home with them the same day. I want to make bridal gowns accessible for everyone, no matter their budget. While we currently stock up to a size 28, a big ambition of mine is to feature a whole plus-size range soon.” While vintage silhouettes remain on-trend, Lynn believes more modern styles will be big sellers for 2022, including wedding jumpsuits. TWIRL BRIDAL Charles Street, Petersfield, GU32 3EH 07581 477 501 | www.twirlbridal.co.uk Love vintage? Twirl Bridal,boasts the largest selection of tea-length wedding dresses on the South Coast. The boutique has a strong vintage, yet modern vibe and also stocks some beautiful full-length gowns as well as accessories and shoes. Owner Mary Cox says, “We offer dresses in a range of sizes, so nobody is disappointed and appointments are relaxed, friendly and fun. “Trends have moved towards gentle flowing dresses with big sleeves, off the shoulder, feathers and ruffles. Traditional is taking a back seat and the more natural contemporary looks are growing in popularity. Anything goes for hemlines and colours and florals will be in vogue alongside the ivory dress that so many of us love.” TOP PICK Mori Lee dress in ivory TOP PICK Dora by LouLou Bridal ❤ TOP TIP Try all styles and go with what makes you feel amazing. ❤ TOP TIP Choose your appointments wisely and don’t book too many as it can be very overwhelming.
