We’re so excited to be heading back to Orkney this August!

Our previous pop-ups were fully booked (which still blows us away 🥹🥂) and meeting so many lovely local brides is honestly one of our favourite parts of what we do.

We’ll be offering our relaxed, private 1:1 bridal appointments, where you can try on our full collection of beautiful designer pre-loved and ex-sample wedding dresses in a personal, pressure-free setting.

👗 Sizes 4–26 available
💫 All dresses are under £999
🤍 Unique, sustainable, designer gowns
✨ Available to take home the same day

We’ll also have our selection of veils and tiaras, so you can start bringing your whole bridal look together ✨

Appointments always go quickly in Orkney. If you’d love to come along, we really recommend getting in touch soon — once we’re full, we won’t be back again for quite a while.

💌 Message us to secure your appointment, we’d love to help you find “the one” 🤍

The dress matters.

But so does the feeling.

The feeling when everything starts to come together.
When the veil goes in.
When you catch your reflection and pause for a second longer than before.

Those are the moments we chase at Thistle Bridal.

A relaxed, personal bridal experience designed to help you find a dress you love all without the intimidating price tag.

Leanne said yes to the dress! 🤍

With her party by her side and the best energy in the room, this appointment was full of laughter, encouragement and those moments that make bridal shopping so special 🥹

Lauren had the pleasure of holding this fun appointment and Leanne was surrounded by the people who know her best, each one cheering her on, helping her narrow down her favourites and celebrating every dress she stepped out in.

Thank you for choosing Thistle Bridal to be part of your journey. We can’t wait to see you wear your beautiful dress on your wedding day 🤎

Still not over this one…

An evening spent playing dress up at Swannay Brewery with some very talented people and lots of beautiful gowns.

These are the shoots that remind me why I started Thistle Bridal in the first place. Not just because I love wedding dresses (although I really do), but because I love creating something that feels special, inspiring and a little bit different.

So grateful to everyone who gave their time, talent and creativity to bring this vision to life 🤍

Merisa said yes! 🤍

Our gorgeous bride Merisa visited us during our Orkney appointments alongside her Mum, sister, niece and friend 🥰

After trying on different styles together, we found the dress and seeing everyone’s reactions in the room made the moment so special 🫶

It was such a pleasure to be part of such an exciting memory with all of you 🤍

Merisa, you are going to make the most beautiful bride! 👰🏻‍♀️

Thank you for choosing Thistle Bridal 🤎
