Last update: October 2026

At The Bridal Suite we believe every bride deserves to feel confident, celebrated and beautiful — not squeezed into a standard wedding dress that was never designed for her body shape. All our sample plus size wedding Dresses are size 18 to 36….there will be dresses that fit you!

We are a specialist plus size bridal boutique in Hampshire, offering our exclusive wedding dresses designed specifically for curvy and plus size brides. Unlike traditional bridal shops that simply size up standard gowns, our dresses are created from the very beginning with fuller figures in mind — designed to flatter, support and enhance real curves beautifully.

Our collection combines modern bridal fashion with expert plus size fit, featuring structured bodices, supportive construction, flattering silhouettes and luxurious fabrics that move comfortably and confidently with your body. Every gown is thoughtfully designed to celebrate shape, comfort and style without compromise.

Brides travel to us from Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire and across the South of England looking for a relaxed, body-positive bridal experience where they can finally try on wedding dresses that truly fit. We offer private appointments in a welcoming environment where you can enjoy finding your dream dress with confidence and excitement.

Whether you’re searching for a romantic A-line gown, modern minimalist wedding dress, fitted curve-hugging silhouette or dramatic statement bridal look, our exclusive designs are made to help plus size brides feel incredible on their wedding day.

If you’re looking for plus size wedding dresses in Hampshire, curve bridalwear, inclusive bridal designers or a bridal boutique that genuinely understands curvy brides, we would love to welcome you.

Best wedding dress fitting around


"Absolutely amazing experience at the curvy bridal Suite! Fell in love with the very first dress I tried on ❤️ The staff were so kind, helpful and made me feel completely at home and comfortable from start to finish. Such a beautiful boutique — I couldn’t recommend them enough!"

Best bridal experience!

I had the pleasure of going to the bridal suite again Saturday to collect my wedding dress. When I tried the dress on again it was as beautiful as I remembered.
We discussed some slight changes to the dress, like removal of the sleeves that come with it.
As Beverly designs the dresses herself she had some great ideas to match my vision and make the dress perfect for me.
The atmosphere and overall experience is one I would highly recommend especially for us curvier ladies.
When I went to a different store that didn’t really cater for the larger sizes it made me feel extremely continuous, but with Beverly’s warm and welcoming personality, knowledge and beautifully designed gowns it was the best experience I could have asked for.
I would 100% recommend any lady that wants to be given an experience to feel like a princess or queen for their big day to go and visit the bridal suite!

Fun Times and Beautiful Dresses

Beverley was the perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness which helped me feel like I could trust her judgment and service while also soothing any nerves I had. She had great ideas for where to start when I truly had none and she was receptive to what I wanted in a dress.

I truly had a fun time and didn't even notice how long we were there for. I am legitimately craving to try on a dress again to recapture how special I felt and Beverley very much helped with that.

The Bridal Suite prides itself on being plus-sized friendly and I think it more than fits the bill. I can vary in size when it comes to dresses but it's rare that nearly everything I love also fits (or was too big!). I feel confident that any bride worried about how they may fit in their dress, can have those worries quelled when coming here.

Wow!! My dream wedding dress

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at The Bridal Suite; I truly couldn’t recommend visiting the boutique and meeting Beverley enough! Beverley made me feel so welcomed and comfortable, and she is incredibly knowledgeable too.

From the moment I walked into The Bridal Suite, I knew that I was going to find my dream wedding dress in her beautiful boutique. This was my first experience of attending a wedding dress shop, but it was everything I had hoped it would be. I felt so comfortable throughout the duration of my appointment, and there was never any judgement.

Beverley very kindly allowed me to come in for an even earlier appointment than I had originally booked and I hadn’t even asked for this, which just goes to show how flexible she is in terms of appointments. At no point did I feel rushed, which made the experience even more enjoyable, rather than clock watching.

I absolutely love that Beverley has designed all of her stunning wedding dresses herself, which reflects her vast knowledge and background, as well as knowing what curvier brides typically prefer/look for. I was truly spoilt for choice in terms of trying wedding dresses on, there are so many options in all different beautiful styles.

In addition to this, it was an added bonus that Beverley doesn’t charge for her appointments. I know that a lot of shops charge for their appointments to try on wedding dresses, so this was just a little added extra that makes The Bridal Suite stand out even more above the rest, in my opinion.

At no point did I feel under pressure to buy anything; it was such a calming and stress-free environment. I felt so at ease when I was with Beverley, she is such a kind-hearted and professional lady. If you’re curvy and looking to find your dream wedding dress, I truly wouldn’t hesitate recommending The Bridal Suite. I am beyond happy that I found my dream dress at The Bridal Suite.

The most amazing bridal experience!

After visiting so many bridal boutiques and feeling like my curves just weren’t being catered for, I was so relieved to find The Bridal Boutique. I really wanted somewhere that understood and celebrated real women’s body shapes, rather than offering the same generic styles I seemed to find everywhere else.

From the moment I booked my appointment, Beverley was incredibly informative, welcoming, and accommodating. I was quite nervous going in because bridal shopping was completely out of my comfort zone, and I honestly had no idea what I was looking for. Beverley immediately put me at ease. She started with a dress that gave us a great starting point, and from there we explored different styles until I found what felt right.

I later discovered that Beverley designs the dresses herself, which made the whole experience feel even more special and unique. Her knowledge is incredible, and you can tell how much thought, expertise, and passion goes into every single dress.

Choosing my dress was actually much harder than I expected because there were so many beautiful options, and I genuinely felt amazing in every one I tried on. I also loved that Beverley offers the ability to customise elements such as sleeves and has sample pieces available in the boutique so you can really visualise how alterations will look before making a decision.

I honestly couldn’t recommend The Bridal Boutique highly enough. If you’re someone with curves who has struggled to find a bridal shop that truly caters for you, this is the place to go. At no point did I feel like my size mattered – Beverley simply wanted me to feel confident, beautiful, and like the very best version of myself. It was such a wonderful experience, and I’m so grateful I found her.

A dream come true dress- worldwide 🥰


I have found my perfect wedding dress on their website, due to the fact I live in Poland I thought it would be impossible for me to have the dress for my wedding.
I thought I’d try my luck and gave the shop a call. To my surprise the lovely lady said she could ship it out to me. We went through sizes and measurements, the dress was shown to me over FaceTime and countless videos and pictures that followed.
Soon after the dress was promptly sent out to me, it arrived and exceeded all my expectations. I was also advised if extra lace was needed they could send out more.
When I took the dress to the seamstress just to take in the waist a little, she was amazed with the dress, she said it’s very unique and very good quality.
Thank you so much on assisting me on this crazy journey and making my dreams come true. We worked on a very tight schedule as the wedding was soon approaching but you have made me so comfortable in the choice I made. First through thoroughly showing me the dress, then to making sure it arrives in an amazing state, all the way through to checking-in with me after the arrival as well as after the wedding.
Your service is as special as your dresses and I am grateful I took a leap of faith and called to see if I can have my wedding dress but also grateful you’ve made it possible so smoothly.

Thank you Beverly!

I had an amazing experience finding my wedding dress here and couldn't recommend Beverly enough. I found a dress I loved, but Beverly helped me tweak and customise it so it became the perfect dress for me. She really listened to what I wanted and her knowledge, creativity, and attention to detail were incredible.
The whole process was enjoyable and stress-free, and I felt comfortable from the minute I walked in.
Thank you, Beverly, for my dream dress. I can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day!🤍

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience

I have to be honest I was absolutely dreading wedding dress shopping! I had read some absolute horror stories about how plus size women had been treated so had put it off for so long but finally booked in!

On the day Bev (and her assistant!) were so lovely and I was made to feel really special. Bev just absolutely knows what she’s talking about - knew what would suit me but also was honest about what wouldn’t instead of just saying what I might want to hear.

I ended up loving different parts of different dresses so Bev designed a brand new dress for me! The day came to collect it and I was so nervous with it being new and something I hadn’t tried on but I absolutely loved it!

Our wedding day was amazing and I absolutely loved my dress. If anyone out there is putting off dress shopping because of your size or how you think you look please book in with Bev!

Best curvy bridal place around

I made an appointment with the bridal suite a year ago now after following on Facebook and tiktok. I fell in love with the dresses and know I had to try them for my big day.

Beverly is great, put me at ease instantly and really knows how to flatter our curves. All the dresses were to die for and all fit!

I fell in love with the Kelly dress and was able to make some changes to it to make it uniquely mine.

We have had our day now and I can't express how beautiful and confident I felt.

Beverly I can't thank you enough for making me feel the most beautiful bride on my big day.

If your hesitating, don't, I can't recommend Beverly enough. ❤️❤️

Plus size wedding dress

Bev at The Bridal Suite could not have been any more helpful. It’s so nice to have a plus size wedding dress shop to be able to go to and try dresses on without worrying that it won’t do up! It was such a relaxed experience and I would encourage anyone looking for a beautiful plus size wedding dress to go here. I’m sure you’ll find “The One”.

A wonderful experience & the perfect dress

The Bridal Suite was the second boutique we went to. The first was a regular shop (Wed2B)) & wasn’t a bad experience HOWEVER visiting The Bridal Suite was a completely different: it was just us, my daughter could try on ANY of the dresses & it was an unhurried, personal experience. She fell in love with her dress & you could tell it made her feel beautiful. When we collected the dress it needed little alterations but we were given the contact details of the loveliest alterations lady. My daughter had the most wonderful wedding & it all started at The Bridal Suite & finding her perfect dress. Thanks so much!

A very happy bride to be✨

If I could rate higher I would! Bev is incredible, my whole experience from start to finish was so relaxed and stress free! I was super nervous beforehand, but Bev made me feel at ease and was so lovely, it made my whole experience so much better. The boutique and dresses are stunning and I’m over the moon to have found my perfect dress. Couldn’t recommend enough ❤️✨

Update; picked up my dress yesterday and it’s perfect, I’m so excited for the wedding. Thanks again to Bev, what an absolutely wonderful woman she is💕

Daughter’s wedding dress

From the very first meeting we were made so welcome. My daughter was put at ease and made to feel so special trying on so many different styles of dress before making her favourite choice.
The dresses are beautiful and the dressing area is immaculate.
We felt the same special welcome when we returned to try on and collect the dress.
Thank you for making us all feel so welcome in your boutique. It’s been a pleasure.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Hi There!

I'm Beverley, I studied Fashion Design and Marketing at University and worked for many years in London designing for high street brands such as Wallis, Top Shop and Giant. It was my dream come true when I saw my collections on sale in Top Shop Oxford Circus as well as being featured in ELLE, Marie Clair & Cosmopolitan. have been selling Bridal wear in my boutique in Hampshire since 2003. I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a designer and would spend hours sketching. I was always encouraged to follow that passion and I remember an assembly at school where my head teacher told us all "if you don’t know what you want to do for a living, ask yourself what do you think about all day and do that!" I discovered my passion for Bridal Wear, when in 2002, I struggled to find my own Wedding Dress. I was a size 16 and to my horror all the sample dresses were too small in the boutiques I visited. My next step came naturally, I opened a Bridal Shop the following year. I filled my boutique with dresses that brides could actually fit into. Those years were frustrating though as I was selling main steam labels that other shops stocked. I found it tough knowing why some of the wedding dresses didn't sell. In 2022 I found the most amazing manufacturer who were happy to make my designs for me. I set to designing my first dress and sampled it in a size 26. This dress sold better than any I had ever had in my boutique before so gradullay over time my shop is now full of my own designs. This gives me so much flexibilty allowing me to adjust desgns for brides often changing necklines or adding different sleeves. My Brides are the greatest source of inspiration and every drees is named after the first bride who chose it. I certainly do think about bridal wear all day long so I think I can safely say I have found my calling.
