Bridal Sizing

Beyond The Classic Ivory?

Beyond The Classic Ivory?

 Coral arrived believing her dream dress didn’t exist after being offered only tiny sizes elsewhere. At Carolyn Anne’s Bridal, she discovered beautiful gowns up to size 36, before her dress was crafted brand new to her exact proportions for a flawless, breath-taking fit. 

Beyond The Classic Ivory?

Beyond The Classic Ivory?

Inspired by an ivory and lilac palette, Coral chose lilac satin layered beneath ivory lace and tulle. With over 150 colour options available, her gown was created in the precise shade she imagined, making it uniquely hers which matched her silk flowers beautifully.

A Truly Bespoke Touch

Beyond The Classic Ivory?

A Truly Bespoke Touch

Coral fell in love with one of our princess-style gowns and imagined it with soft, floaty tulle sleeves in matching lace. We brought her vision to life, creating a gown crafted to her exact size, colour, and style—a truly personal masterpiece made entirely for her.

From A Very Happy Bride...

Right from the minute you arrive, everything is made to make you feel so welcomed and you're really given a great and personalised service. I was so worried being a plus size bride that i would look awful in anything i tried on and i was made to feel like an absolute princess. When i finally decided on The dress. i made colour changes, added sleeves and other various things. All was listened to and exceeded my expectations. I think the price point is very reasonable considering the service and product you receive is amazing! Thank you so much Lea, I cant wait to wear my dress and show you the pictures

150 Colour Options for Every Wedding Dress

A Wedding Dress That Reflects Your Style

At Carolyn Anne’s Bridal, we work directly with our elite artisans, with no middleman in between. This allows us to offer an exceptional range of colour options for every wedding dress. While many bridal boutiques are limited to shades such as white, ivory, blush, or champagne, we offer over 150 colour choices, with full fabric swatch charts available to view in the boutique, giving you the freedom to suit your theme.

Proportion & Fit Guidance

A Thoughtful, Transparent Approach to Fit At Carolyn Anne’s Bridal

  While the majority of our brides require little to no alterations at all, some may need small refinements such as adjusting straps or sleeves for personal preference. As with all made-to-measure garments, if body measurements change after your dress has been created, standard alterations may be required and would be the responsibility of the bride. Having your dress made to your exact proportions in 3 months has saved you up to £600.
