Some of you asked how I got here......

I didn't open a bridal shop because I had some huge master plan.
I opened one because I loved weddings, loved beautiful things and thought… I reckon I'd quite like doing this.

Then I met my first bride, Laura.

And the rest is history....

Years later, the shop has changed names, changed locations, changed dresses and evolved about a million times — but the bit I fell in love with hasn't really changed at all.

It's still that moment when someone walks in not really knowing what they're looking for or not feeling the most confident. We start playing dress-up, something clicks and suddenly they see themselves as the beautiful bride.

Sometimes there's tears. Sometimes there's swishing. Sometimes there is some customisation needed. But we always get there and it is that look when a bride is just feeling it.

I just love it.

So if you're looking for your wedding dress and want somewhere you can come exactly as you are, try that wild card, change your mind, be seen and heard and end up with a dress that feels undeniably you then come and see us.

Appointments at Velvet Queen are available to book through the link in our bio.

Can we make wedding dress shopping a little less serious, please?

You don't need to arrive knowing your silhouette, your neckline, your fabric, your bridal aesthetic and the exact dress you've had saved on Pinterest since 2019.

You don't need to love the dress everyone else loves.
You don't have to cry.
You don't have to say yes on the first appointment (but it's also absolutely fine too).
And you definitely don't need to apologise for having an opinion, changing your mind or asking to try something on for the fifth time.

Honestly, you can just turn up.

We'll pull some dresses. We'll try some things. We'll probably try some things you swore you wouldn't wear. We'll move a sleeve, add a strap, take something away, put something back. Some you'll love. Some you'll absolutely hate.
That's kind of the point.

There are no prizes here for being the easiest bride in the room.

We'd much rather you leave feeling like you than saying yes to something because you thought you were supposed to.

Come as you are. We'll figure out the dress bit together. 🩷🩷

If that sounds like your kind of wedding dress appointment, come and see us. Appointments are available to book through the link in our bio.

Classic. But make it unexpected.

A little bit timeless.
A little bit whimsical.
And definitely not boring.

We’re taking Velvet Queen on the road 🩷

On 17 & 18 October, you’ll find us at Lo & Behold Another Wedding Fair at Larmer Tree — and this one feels very us!!!

It's a wedding fair for the visionaries, Lo & Behold brings together a hand-picked collection of brilliant wedding suppliers for couples who want inspiration, individuality and perhaps something a little less expected for their day.

Think beautiful ideas, seriously good suppliers, a touch of boho, a little alternative energy and plenty of permission to do your wedding your way.
Obviously, we’ll be bringing a little Velvet Queen with us.

Come and find our stand, say hello, have a nose at what we’ve brought and talk about all things dresses, styling and wedding dresses without the rules.

📍 Larmer Tree, Salisbury
🗓 17 & 18 October 2026
🎟 Tickets available from Lo & Behold ANOTHER Wedding Fair

“Is this too tight?” 😂

Secure? Yes.
Supported? Absolutely.
Unable to breathe? We’ve gone too far.

Wedding dresses can feel VERY different to your normal clothes — especially when that bodice is doing exactly what it came here to do.

Basically, we want you held, supported and feeling bloody fabulous — not fighting for your life.
...... P.S. despite what the song says, waists over nine inches are VERY welcome at Velvet Queen. 🩷

Wedding dresses without the rules. 🫶🏾

So… what actually makes a sample-sale wedding dress such a good deal?

The obvious answer is the price — every dress at our Bridal Sample Sale is £399.
But there’s more to it than that.

These are genuine boutique sample gowns. Some are discontinued, some are making way for new arrivals, and some are simply dresses we’re ready to say goodbye to.

Because they’re already here, if you find the one, you can take her home.

The only catch?
There’s one of each.
So if another bride falls in love with your dress first… she’s gone.

Brides often wonder if they'll ever feel beautiful in a wedding dress.

And the simple answer is hell yeah, if you don't feel beautiful it's not the dress for you.

You deserve the excitement. You deserve the confidence. You deserve the moment where you look in the mirror and think...

"That's me, I look AMAZING!!."

And that moment is exactly what you get when you visit Velvet Queen 🩷
