Nestled in the charming Welsh market town of Abergele, tucked away above the hustle and bustle, a haven of style and sustainability awaits. Upstairs at St Kentigern Hospice (Abergele) likes a bridal boutique like no other. The true beauty of the boutique is the magic of charitable giving and sustainability. Brides-to-be can discover their dream gown while supporting a cause dedicated to providing exception care. Every purchase helps fund the hospice’s vital services; from patient care, family support and bereavement counselling.
The fabulous team of volunteers add a personal touch to your shopping experience, making you feel right at home from the minute you walk in.
Every gown, veil and accessory has a tale as unique as your love story.

Their collection features lots of styles for every bride, groom and occasion. All meticulously maintained to ensure they’re as fabulous as they are sustainable. They have over 500+ dresses & accessories.

You know that old saying “new year, new me”? Well, ahead of the fast approaching 2025, we’ve decided to switch some things up around here and add a dash more sparkle into Bouquet and Bells.
This shoot was inspired wholly by the vastness and beauty of the venue as well as the unitarians inspiring ethos: Ullet Road Unitarian Church. We chose a beautiful day for the shoot, meaning the light flooding into the building and outside of the building was beautiful. We had a selection of dresses to change into for different parts of the church, and we utilised the late in different rooms and at different windows, as well as the doors for the iconic confetti shots.
Your wedding is a magical day which will stay with you forever. However, it’s unquestionable that with a tag like that, there’s also going to be an element of pressure you need to manage. 84% of brides report feeling some sort of stress about their big day. And while a lot of this comes hand-in-hand with planning a large event, it’s unquestionable that standing in front of anyone as the “star of the show” is going to get the nerves jangling.
