How brilliant is our collection? We have Essense of Australia (we’re the exclusive stockist in this part of Scotland, and their sumptuous couture silhouettes, French lace, silk chiffon, and fine appliques are something), Stella York (gowns that come across as so much more expensive than they cost, from minimalist crepe right through to dramatic ballgowns), Maggie Sottero (soft detailing, soft tulles, and figure-flattering cuts across every silhouette, plus the bolder Sottero and Midgley line), and Justin Alexander (traditional bridal elegance with current details like square necklines, sweetheart bodices, and clean satin finishes).

You’ll also see Morilee (striking embellishments and inclusive sizing), Allure Romance (soft lace and soft, feminine lines), Ronald Joyce (structured glamour with a British sensibility), and Six Stories, which we were the first bridal boutique in Scotland to bring in.
