LITTLE LONDON BRIDES Big on style and gorgeous gowns L ittle London Brides is a beautiful family run boutique set in a private tranquil location in the rural village of Little London, near Basingstoke in North Hampshire. A destination hotspot for brides-to-be looking to find the one , owners mother-and-daughter team Shan and Steph opened the doors to the business in March 2018 and offer a fresh and modern approach. Shan says, “With both of us working in the corporate world, we wanted to explore something different that would give us the opportunity to work together doing something we both love and are passionate about. After Steph’s wedding in July 2016, styling brides was the perfect choice.” The boutique stocks a range of gorgeous gowns from leading international designers carefully curated to offer brides something different to the norm. Elite stockists for Enzoani, Blue by Enzoani, ÉLYSÉE Atelier and the ÉLYSÉE as well as the amazing Israeli designer Riki Dalal, UK designer Dando London and Barcelona-based Atelier Pronovias, there’s something to suit a variety of tastes. “We certainly attract brides who are looking for something a little bit different, with the wow factor to stand out from the crowd. Many of our brides want to not only look like a bride, but also feel sexy and glamorous on their big day. Our designer dresses offer all of this with trademark low backs, long trains, beautiful lace and a range of silhouettes that make the most of any figure with a fresh and modern feel.” And it doesn’t just stop at the dress. “We love helping our brides realise their head-to-toe vision, covering everything from alterations, shoes, veil and accessories to how to wear your hair and make-up,” adds Steph. “We are very proud of what we have created and have received some really wonderful feedback from our brides, who travel far and wide to visit our store. It has been really important to us to create our very own brand, combining a trendy feel with a luxurious and personal experience. The experience means everything to us and we want our brides to not only have a luxurious and memorable time, but also to feel comfortable and special. We have considered every part of the journey, from the moment brides get in touch to book an appointment, welcoming them to our spacious boutique through to the alterations process, to make sure we offer a very personal service. We run by appointment only and by concentrating on one bride at a time we can give them our full and undivided attention so they can relax with us and whoever they bring with them on the day and enjoy this special time.” To find out more visit www.littlelondonbrides.co.uk, call 07766 806759 or email info@littlelondonbrides.co.uk
