A personal and private bridal boutique experience
Welcome to the Bridal Atelier in brighton
Wearable. Fashion-forward. Luxurious.
Every designer and every gown in our boutique is carefully chosen with the Brighton bride in mind. We believe the perfect wedding dress should feel undeniably special while remaining effortlessly wearable—never like a costume.
At the heart of our boutique is owner Roxy, a couture-trained dressmaker and bridal alterations specialist. Her expertise means we can guide you through every stage of your bridal journey, from finding the one to achieving the perfect fit. From the moment you step into your dream dress, you’ll receive expert advice on its fit, finish and styling, ensuring you look and feel your absolute best. Because the perfect wedding dress deserves the perfect fit, we make the entire process seamless and stress-free, all under one roof.
Our carefully curated collection features gowns from Justin Alexander, Watters, Adore by Justin Alexander and Lillian West. We’re also delighted to welcome South African designer Elbeth Gillis to the boutique. Every designer we choose shares our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, beautiful fabrics and timeless design, ensuring every gown meets the highest standards of quality.
Our gowns are made to order, with an average lead time of around four months, plus alterations. We therefore recommend beginning your dress search 9–12 months before your wedding day. If you’re working to a shorter timeframe or shopping within a set budget, we also offer a selection of beautiful off-the-peg gowns that are ready to take home the very same day.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the boutique and help you discover the one exceptional dress you’ll never forget.
All appointments are relaxed and private so that you can feel at ease.
