Why East Kilbride brides choose our bridal boutique
Bijoux opened in 2009 and is now Scotland’s largest bridal boutique, with a bridal experience built around helping every bride find their dream dress at her own pace. We’re proud to have over a thousand five-star Google reviews from brides who have visited us.
Appointments include prosecco, and you can bring up to four guests.
Every bridal appointment starts with a chat about your wedding, covering the venue, the season and the styles you’ve been saving on your phone.
Our stylists then choose gowns from every rail to suit what you love, and you can add your own picks.
Because the team knows absolutely every dress in store, a gown you hadn’t considered often turns up beside your favourites, and for plenty of brides it becomes the perfect wedding dress!
A stress-free wedding dress appointment
Dress shopping at Bijoux is meant to be stress-free, so some brides say yes in their first appointment while others book a return visit to narrow the shortlist, and we would always rather you left certain than rushed.
Fitting areas sit close together, so you’ll hear other brides being cheered as they step out in their gowns, and that shared buzz is a big part of the Bijoux community feel.
Wedding dresses in sizes 6 to 36
Sample gowns run from UK size 6 to 36, and when a sample isn’t your size, our stylists use clipping and pinning to show how the finished dress will look on you.
Hundreds of dresses in store mean plenty of shapes to compare.
The EveryBody/EveryBride collection from Essense of Australia is designed for sizes 18 to 36, with bodices that support curvier figures and a beautiful shape from neckline to hem.
We want you to feel excited about stepping out in each gown, because every bride deserves to find a perfect dress for her special day in a space where she feels completely at ease.
Bridal fashion and wedding dress styles to try on
You don’t need to have a silhouette in mind before your appointment. In fact, we encourage our brides to come with an open mind and heart!
Wedding dress shopping in person lets you compare a full range of styles side by side, since a dress that looks right on Instagram can feel quite different when you’re standing in it.
A-line
An A-line dress sits close at the bodice and then opens gradually from the waist, giving an easy, balanced shape with plenty of room to move.
It makes a comfortable first try, and a deep V or a sweetheart neckline can change its personality entirely.
Ballgown wedding dresses
A ballgown pairs a structured bodice with a full skirt of tulle or organza, giving you that fairytale entrance as the skirt sweeps around you on your walk down the aisle.
Fit and flare
Where an A-line skims the hips, a fit and flare gown traces the waist and hips closely and releases its fullness around mid-thigh.
You get definition without the closeness of a full mermaid, and the skirt still moves easily on the dance floor.
Mermaid and fishtail
A mermaid, sometimes called a fishtail, hugs the body down to the knee before the skirt sweeps out into a train.
It is a confident choice for a bride who loves a defined line, and crepe, satin and heavily beaded lace all look striking in it.
Sheath
A bride who prefers things pared back tends to gravitate to a sheath dress, which follows her natural line from shoulder to hem in smooth crepe or fine lace and finishes with a soft sweep train.
Collections for every mood
Beyond silhouette, we group wedding gowns by mood, so our boho wedding dresses suit relaxed outdoor weddings with loose fabrics and natural lace, while the detailed collection brings hand-sewn beading and embroidery for brides who love texture and sparkle.
Simple styles let cut and fabric make a beautiful wedding dress on their own, and our wedding dresses with sleeves range from sheer illusion to structured puff and dainty cap sleeves.
Wedding gowns from leading bridal designers
Every label here earns its place by suiting many different sizes, and after more than fifteen years in the bridal industry, we know which ones hold up on quality and fit.
Our curated collection includes a selection of wedding gowns from each label.
Classic and romantic labels
Justin Alexander brings classic silhouettes with up-to-date details such as square necklines and clean satin finishes.
Maggie Sottero and Sottero and Midgley offer soft tulle and romantic cuts, and Stella York runs from minimalist crepe to dramatic ballgowns.
Detail, lace and bridal couture
Morilee covers detailed, embellished designer gowns across its main range, Blu by Morilee, Amy and Eve, Voyage and Julietta. From the Allure family we stock Abella, Allure Romance for soft feminine lace, and Allure Couture for couture bridal gowns with rich detailing.
British labels and accessories
Essense of Australia sits alongside Tania Olsen, and as a Premier Stockist of the main Veni Infantino range (formerly Ronald Joyce) we can show you structured British glamour in person.
Veils and headpieces hang close by, so you can try the full bridal look together.
Made to order, ready to wear and quick delivery
Our designer gowns are available to order straight after your appointment, Made to Order for you and arriving after around twenty-four weeks. We suggest starting at least seven months ahead of the wedding, so there is room for fittings without any rush.
Brides with a closer date still have options, because our Quick Delivery gowns arrive in about twelve weeks. This gives you to full experience of waiting for a dress that is being made to be wore by you, but all at an accelerated timeline.
And for brides eager to secure their dress, our Ready-to-Wear dresses, priced from £499 to £999, can go home the same day. There’s usually only one of each, so sizes are more limited, and once a dress is gone, it’s unlikely return!
Once your gown arrives, our independent seamstress handles the alteration work, from hemming and fit adjustments to the bustle, over six to twelve weeks of fittings until the dress sits as it should on your big day.
