A Different Kind of Bridal Shopping Experience in Berkshire
At & She Loves Bridal, we believe finding your wedding dress should be exciting, relaxed and enjoyable. Not stressful, overwhelming or dictated by an enormous price tag.
Our private bridal studio in Arborfield, near Reading, Berkshire, offers a different way to shop for your wedding dress.
With over 300 designer sample wedding dresses available off-the-peg, you can discover beautiful gowns from sought-after bridal designers at a fraction of their original retail prices.
No long ordering times. No pressure to spend a fortune. Just beautiful dresses and a relaxed, personal approach to bridal shopping.
How It All Began
& She Loves Bridal was founded in 2014 by Rochelle, who wanted to make designer wedding dress shopping more affordable and a lot less stressful.
The idea came after a family member struggled to find a designer dress she loved within her budget. Faced with expensive gowns, long ordering times and the pressure that often comes with wedding dress shopping, she ended up searching eBay and Facebook and travelling to people's homes to try dresses on.
Rochelle realised there had to be a better way.
Why couldn't brides find beautiful designer wedding dresses at more affordable prices, while still enjoying the experience of visiting a bridal boutique?
And so & She Loves Bridal was born.
More than a decade later, the business has grown into a private bridal studio bringing together designer wedding dresses from some of the most sought-after names in bridal fashion.
But the idea behind it hasn't changed: beautiful designer dresses, more accessible prices and a bridal shopping experience that feels genuinely enjoyable.
BEAUTIFUL Designer Wedding Dresses, more accessible prices
We specialise in designer sample wedding dresses, carefully sourced from leading international bridal designers and available to buy off-the-peg.
Our collection includes everything from modern minimalist gowns and romantic lace dresses to statement silhouettes and contemporary bridal styles.
By specialising in designer samples, we're able to offer beautiful gowns at significantly reduced prices, with many dresses 30–70% below their original retail prices.
With over 300 dresses to explore, there's plenty of choice. And because each dress is a one-off, our collection is always changing as gowns find their brides.
