The Exclusive Flagship of Pure Joie: British Couture Mastered.
The Experience: Your Private Bridal Suite
Luxury is Privacy.
In a world of busy high streets and shared fitting rooms, we offer something different: Space. Time. And total privacy. At Carolyn Anne’s Bridal, we have purposefully moved away from the traditional 'shop window' environment. Instead, we invite you to our exclusive, residential Bridal Studio in the heart of West Sussex. By hosting our brides in a dedicated, private suite, we provide a sanctuary for the plus-size and high-end bride. There are no passers-by looking through windows, and no other bridal parties sharing your mirrors.
When you book an appointment with us, the entire studio is yours. It is a space designed for comfort, confidence, and the celebration of your proportions.
Why our Private Studio is your advantage:
- A Safe Space: We specialise in sizes 16 to 36. Our studio is a judgment-free zone where you can feel beautiful and relaxed.
- One-on-One Expertise: You aren't just a customer; you are working directly with the designer and founder. You get 100% of our attention.
- Value for Craftsmanship: Because we don't pay "High Street" rents, every penny of your investment goes exactly where it belongs: into the premium fabrics, bespoke fit, and expert construction of your gown.
- A Personal Touch: From the moment you arrive, you are treated like a VIP guest, not just another appointment in a busy diary.
Safe Space for Plus Size Brides
No shared mirrors. No other shoppers. Just you, your loved ones, and a designer who understands your proportions in a completely private, safe environment. There are no passers-by looking through windows and when you book an appointment with us, the entire studio is yours. It is a space designed for comfort, confidence, and the celebration of your proportions.
