My little Wedding Shop is an independent boutique established in 2011 in the beautiful market town of Bridgnorth, Shropshire. Located on a pretty terrace, just off the famous Castle Walk with it’s stunning views of the Bridgnorth valley, the boutique is an intimate space where you can relax and start to explore the unique in-house bridal wear collections and meet bridal wear designer, Jennifer Bone.
Jennifer loves every moment of her job, every gown is created for her brides from scratch and her enthusiasm and love of her work is infectious!
“As a dress designer I get to work with a lot of brides who may not think they fit into the traditional wedding dress style. My brides want to feel beautiful on their wedding day, but they also want to feel like themselves. This is one of the most important parts of my work as bridal wear designer and it is something that I love to do!”
Bridal Appointments:
Visiting My little Wedding Shop is by appointment as Jenny feels it is important that brides have her full attention during their visit.
The quirky boutique is the perfect space to take time to peruse the dress collections, feel the drape of the materials and the detail of the laces Jennifer has selected. Looking for your bridal gown should be a memorable experience that becomes part of the excitement of your wedding planning journey and nothing can compare to having the opportunity to try on different dress silhouettes to see how you feel in them and how they move when worn.
My little Wedding Shops’ wedding gowns are designed not only with elegance and comfort in mind but also sustainability. The gowns are created using recycled and sustainably sourced materials including bamboo, recycled tulle, satin and Mikado’s and even fabric created from orange peel! There is no mass production, with all gowns being made to order which also means, that all fittings and alterations are included when you order a dress.
The corsetry is specially cut to provide support and structure without feeling restricted, skirts are created to hold their shape whilst staying lightweight and the chosen laces are soft against the skin.
During your visit you will be able to pick out different dress styles to try to see which silhouette suits you best and makes you feel beautiful yet comfortable. You will also be able to see how the different colour shades best suit your skin tone and try on different bridal accessories to complete your look.
Bespoke Bridal Design:
Jennifers’ bespoke bridal gowns are designed to reflect the personality of the bride, each gown is designed in partnership, bringing ideas together, exploring fabrics and drawing on Jennifer’s extensive experience and flair for design.
This process begins with a relaxed consultation where the bride can share the details of the chosen venue, the feel of the wedding that they are planning and any specific details that they would like to incorporate in their dress. Together, you start exploring different materials and colours, selecting from the array of possible laces and embellished materials. These ideas are then sketched out so you can start to visualise your dream dress and how your chosen materials will look within the design. Once the design has been finalised, your dress is then made to measure ensuring the fit and finish is just right. Each bride will see their dress develop over time with multiple fittings and the opportunity to evolve the design as their dress comes to life.
This attention to detail & design has been recognised nationally and internationally with brides traveling from across the UK and abroad to have their gown created by Jennifer and My little Wedding Shop gowns and veils have been featured in Vogue Magazine, Hello! Magazine, Bouquet & Bells Magazine, Love My Dress, Rock N Roll Bride, Unconventional Wedding Festival, West Midlands Wedding Magazine & elsewhere.
