We're spoiling you with all our new dresses, and we know you'll love this one! Meet Ophelia ❤

Covered in delicate lace throughout, Ophelia has a fit and flare style, with fine straps framing a deep V-neckline and a subtle modesty panel to keep it elegant rather than daring. The silhouette hugs you before flaring out, and the back flows into a romantic train that pools beautifully behind you.

We have another new arrival to Bustles and Bows – meet stunning Esme.

This beautiful wedding dress is made from ivory crepe with a sweetheart neckline and a structured bodice, giving a lovely sculpted fit. There's a small split at the front too, just enough to add a bit of interest without taking away from the simplicity of the dress.

We have a beautiful new arrival in the boutique… meet Ava Rose.

This gorgeous pleated satin gown features a strapless off-the-shoulder bodice, with the pleated detailing continuing down into the waist in a flattering wraparound style.

The full skirt flows beautifully into a statement train, while the detachable full-length lace sleeves and front split give Ava Rose two completely different looks in one ❤

Perfect for taking you from ceremony to evening celebrations with ease, while still keeping that elegant, timeless feel.

A little throwback to beautiful Olivia in our Audrey gown

Olivia and Ben tied the knot with a gorgeous seaside wedding at The Cooden Beach Hotel, and we just had to share this beautiful shot again.

Audrey was such a perfect choice, with her delicate floral appliqué, sweetheart neckline and flowing A-line skirt. Romantic, feminine and timeless – and Olivia looked absolutely stunning in her.

We never get tired of seeing our dresses come to life on our real brides.

You will.

There’s no need to stress or put pressure on yourself to have that moment straight away. Sometimes it takes trying on a few different styles, sometimes you fall in love with something completely different to what you imagined, and sometimes you simply haven’t found the one yet.

Enjoy the experience, take your time and remember, your dress is out there. 🤍

And we’d love to help you find it.

Our gorgeous Yasmin dress looks beautiful on the hanger, but even better on!

And one of our favourite things about her is how you can change up the look. The detachable accessory can be worn as a flowing cape, styled around the waist, or taken off completely.

Coming in for your dress fitting? Here’s what you need to bring to make the most of your appointment:

❤️ The exact shoes you’ll wear on the day (or a pair with the same heel height). This is essential so the dressmaker can set your hem at the right length.

❤️ Your petticoat or underskirt – especially important if your dress has a full skirt. A hooped or netted underskirt can lift the layers of the hem by up to 2–3 inches, which makes a big difference to the final fit.

❤️ Bra, underwear, or shapewear – this is the foundation for your dress and can really transform the way it fits. Aim for n**e tones that match your skin, as white or ivory can sometimes show through, while n**e will disappear under your gown.

❤️ Accessories like your veil, tiara, belt or jewellery – these small details can completely change the look of your neckline or overall outfit, and will help you visualise your full bridal look.

❤️ The person who will be helping you get dressed on the day – we’ll show them exactly how to get you into the dress and fasten it up properly, so there are no surprises when it matters most.

❤️ Some of our brides even try to time their hair and makeup trial for the same day, so they can see everything come together and get a true feel for the full look.

We want your fitting to feel relaxed, exciting and helpful – bringing these items with you means we can make sure everything is just right for your big day ☺️

Let’s get you booked in and have your ‘wow moment’ – we can’t wait to welcome you and help bring your dream dress to life!

Need your wedding dress tweaking to make it work perfectly for you?

This beautiful dress was altered to create a French-style train bustle, gathering the train neatly underneath the skirt for a seamless, elegant finish.

A gorgeous way to keep the beauty of your dress while making it much easier to move around and enjoy every moment of your day.

Sometimes, it’s the little alterations that make all the difference.
