bridal boutique

Chelmsford based bridal boutique for the design led bride, Rock The Frock, has recently launched their first bridal collection, designed by their founder Karen Whybro. The collection has been heavily influenced by the designs of the 1960s and 1970s and features capes, trouser suits, ballooned chiffon sleeves alongside modern separates such as pastel lace bodies and crops. Karen, only 4 years ago, was a primary school teacher, who frustrated at both the education sector and how hard it was to find a wedding dress that suited her style, decided to quit to open what is now a hugely influential boutique, and is franchising across UK and internationally in 2018.

The Wedding Boutique is one of the largest online suppliers of wedding shoes and accessories in the Uk and because we run our distribution on the same site as our Bridal Boutique in Carlisle, you can be assured of a worthwhile visit in person as we can boast the largest selections on display in the area. Not many wedding shops have our massive choice of shoes to try along with the wedding dresses nor do they have the choice in wedding jewellery to offer either.

When you come to our Boutique you can have a complete fitting experience as it’s not all about the dress, our emphasis is on you and helping you realise your dream. We do not pressure sell. We believe in good old fashioned service with a smile.

My name is Sophie Thwaites and I am the proud owner of Just The Way You Are; the only dedicated plus-size bridal boutique in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Many people in recent years have asked me why I have decided to leave the well paid profession of accountancy and put everything I have into being a business owner. To answer that question, I have to take them back to my early teens when my journey began.

On the last day of the summer term, I was travelling to school with my Dad and sister Lois, when suddenly we were hit from behind by a pick-up truck. Initially we all thought we were ok, so Dad took the insurance details from the driver and we continued on to school.
