💥Important notice💥

Unfortunately our highly recommended seamstress Chrissie has had an overwhelming amount of brides wanting to book her and has had to cut back on the amount of work she takes on. She has decided to not take on anymore work for now until she catches up.

This will mean that you will need to find your own seamstress to do any alterations you may need. We do not have anyone else we recommend as have only ever used Chrissie but she is not employed by us, so we are not held responsible for not supplying a seamstress or anyone you may now use.

All brides that are already booked in with Chrissie, she will still honour your alterations.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding ❤

✨ What We Don’t Do at Carolyn Anne’s Bridal…We’re not your average bridal shop — and proudly so.

We don’t offer:

❌ Off-the-peg wedding dresses that have been tried on and tired out

❌ Discounted, outdated samples that never quite feel special

❌ Pre-owned gowns worn by brides before you

❌ Mass-produced dresses in limited, rigid standard sizes

❌ Skinny size display samples that don’t reflect real women

❌ Standard sizing that demands costly, extensive alterations

❌ Restrictions on colours, creativity, or your personal bridal vision

Why? Because you deserve more.

💫 What We Do at Carolyn Anne’s Bridal…

We do bridal differently — with you at the heart of every detail.

We proudly offer:

✔ Brand new, sustainably made-to-order gowns — never pre-worn or pre-made

✔ Dresses created to your exact proportions, not a generic size chart

✔ Size-inclusive samples from 6–36, with most in sizes 18+

✔ Over 150 colour options and endless customisable details

✔ The freedom to redesign, tweak, or create something entirely bespoke from your vision

✔ Short lead times — because you shouldn’t have to wait forever for a gown that’s made for you

✔ Appointments available 7 days a week, from 10am to 9pm — because modern brides need flexibility

💍 You weren’t made to fit into a dress —

Your dress should be made to fit you.

At Carolyn Anne’s Bridal, every gown is a celebration of individuality, inclusivity, and impeccable craftsmanship. Luxury doesn’t mean limitations — it means freedom, beauty, and confidence in every stitch.

THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL

Rebecca & Dudley’s Spring Wedding at The Weald & Downland Living Museum, West Sussex.

This wasn’t your typical Wedding Story… Back in 2024, these two entered and WON! the ‘Win a Wedding’ competition with . As part of their prize they claimed some incredible packages and extras from a team of talented local wedding suppliers.

Rebecca & Dudley took that lucky win and built upon it to create the relaxed, family-friendly wedding day they’d always dreamed of, and so, in early May, we had the joy of photographing a beautiful spring wedding at the historic Weald and Downland Living Museum, set in the heart of the South Downs.

Carolyn Anne’s Bridal – A Luxury Bridal Experience in Worthing, West Sussex

At Carolyn Anne’s Bridal, we offer a truly exclusive bridal experience for modern brides who value elegance, craftsmanship, and individuality. Our boutique is a sanctuary for brides seeking more than just a dress – they’re seeking a gown that reflects their story, style, and silhouette in every stitch.

We proudly cater to discerning brides who want exceptional quality and personal attention—not bargain hunters looking for off-the-peg, standard-size gowns. Our collection is entirely made-to-order, with each gown created to your unique proportions to minimise costly alterations and ensure an impeccable fit from the start.

Specialising in size inclusivity, our boutique embraces every bride from size 6 to 36, with a focus on plus-size couture. We believe that luxury should never exclude, and every bride deserves to feel powerful, beautiful, and entirely herself on her wedding day.

Each of our gowns is handcrafted by elite dressmakers who also produce for some of the most renowned designers in the world. Every style is fully customisable, offering our brides the freedom to personalise details and create a gown that’s utterly one-of-a-kind.

This is bridal without compromise—where premium fabrics meet precise tailoring, and where your gown is designed not to fit a hanger, but to fit you. www.carolynannesbridal.com

18/06/2025

What Makes Carolyn Anne’s Bridal Different from Standard Off-the-Peg Bridal Shops?

1. Made-to-Measure, Not Made-to-Fit

Most high street or off-the-peg bridal shops offer mass-produced gowns in limited sizes, altered to somewhat fit. At Carolyn Anne’s Bridal, every gown is made to measure and designed with your exact body, style, and vision in mind—from the first stitch to the final flourish.

2. Luxury Experience, Not Just a Transaction

We don’t just “sell dresses.” We craft a deeply personal, one-on-one bridal journey. From private appointments in our elegant boutique setting to custom fittings that honour your curves, story, and confidence—you’re never rushed, judged, or treated like just another appointment in the diary.

3. Empowering Size-Inclusive Design

Unlike many shops that only carry sample sizes and make plus-size brides feel like an afterthought, we celebrate every size, shape, and silhouette. Our entire brand was built on the belief that every bride deserves to feel exquisite—not squeezed into a gown that was never designed for her in the first place.

4. Couture-Quality Without the Pretence

While other boutiques focus on trends or what’s “in stock,” we focus on timeless elegance, luxury craftsmanship, and gowns that feel like heirlooms. Many of our gowns are exclusive, hand-finished, and not found on every bridal rack across the UK.

5. Private, Honest, Heart-Led Styling

Forget upselling or pressure tactics. Our focus is on how you feel in the gown—not just how it looks. We offer styling guidance rooted in honesty and heart, ensuring your dress reflects you, not someone else’s checklist.

6. No Endless Alterations, No Compromise

With off-the-peg gowns, alterations are often extensive—and expensive. 99% of our dresses fit perfectly if brides do not change in size.

7. Ethically-Minded and Intentionally Curated

We don’t stock cheap, fast-fashion gowns. Every piece is chosen for its quality, ethics, and design integrity. Our collections are carefully curated to reflect a modern, empowered, and elegant bridal identity.

There are all types of bridal shops offering different services and prices and we are all amazing ❤ but we wanted to tell you how we work at Carolyn Anne's Bridal and what costs are involved when you say "Yes to the dress"

First of all with us, you are not just choosing a discounted off peg, pre owned wedding dress to take home with you. And you are not having a standard size designer dress already made that everyone has seen before.

With us, all of the designs you see in our boutique are exclusive to us, designed by us and fully customisable by you. Every single dress is made brand new, to your unique proportions including length at the time of the order and customised if required.

When we price each of our dresses, we have to think about the costs invloved...

1. Our dressmakers fee to make the dress (This takes between 3-6 months) including cutting your dress to the exact size you are at the time of the order, dying the material and hours of handsewing lace appliques and beadings.

2. Wedding dress fabric is not cheap and on top of your fabric, spakle beads/pearls and sequinns also need to be purchased.

3. On top of paying our dressmaker we have fees to pay including a paypal fee, the freight fee, the courier fee, the plus size fee (although we never charge you extra for being plus size) and the customisation fee.

4. Once your dress arrives, we spend up to 1-2 hours steaming your dress/dresses to make them prisitine for when you see them, which most brides do not think about.

5 Before your appointment we go out and buy Prosecco to give every one of our brides who purchase their dress, leave Biscuits, Juice and Chocolates on the table for you to enjoy whilst you and your bridal party throughout your appoitment.

6. Our bridal boutique is always warm and well lit which uses gas and electric.

7. Last of all, we do not get wedding dress samples for free. All of our samples we have paid our dressmaker to personally make to how we requested it and we have a large range of styles in sensible sizing which we had to pay for just so our brides have a good selection. Most of our dresses are plus sizes so cost us extra to make.
