Last update: July 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.

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.

Made me feel like a beautiful bride

The Bridal Suite was such a lovely experience from start to finish.
I initially came across The Bridal Suite on TikTok and to my absolute delight, discovered that they were based not a million miles from me so 100% worth the 3 hour round trip to go to one of the very few plus size wedding dress shops around. I booked an appointment to visit with my bridesmaids quickly and easily and we headed on down for our private appointment. I was absolutely blown away by the unbelievable range of dresses in non-frumpy styles and sizes that would genuinely make every plus size bride feel special and included. In fact all the dresses I tried on actually fit! And in some cases they even needed to be made smaller, which made the whole experience feel so confidence-boosting. It was so nice to have the wedding dress trying-on experience without ever feeling judged or uncomfortable — something that can be so hard to find!
What stood out the most was that Beverly clearly cares very deeply about her customers and goes above and beyond to make every bride feel special, relaxed, and celebrated. I couldn’t recommend The Bridal Suite more highly for anyone looking for a supportive and memorable bridal dress shopping experience.

Amazing Bridal Shop 100% the best you’ll find

My experience was amazing from start to finish. I contacted Bev to make an appointment and was slightly nervous, she was so reassuring that I would have a good experience with her it put me at ease.
When I arrived I absolutely loved loads of the designs available and was so happy they were of a size that I could try them on properly and have such a good selection to look at. I’m now so excited for my big day and would highly recommend. 5 🌟

Lovely Shop! And experience

It was lovely to find someone who genuinely understood what I wanted from my dress and made me consider styles i didn't think I wanted but actually were so flattering. The shop was immaculate but my favourite part was that every dress fitted me not just a couple of larger ones for larger brides like me. It felt lovely being properly considered and Bev is lovely too! Well woth travelling as its an easy trip straight down the M3. Highly recommend coming if you are a bustier bride but still want fashionable not frumpy dress.

Amazing for plus size woman!

I was so nervous about going to the suite but I shouldn't have been! Beverly is such a confidence booster and made me feel so welcome and relaxed, and her dresses are stunning!! I picked the dolly, absolutely stunning dresses, I can't recommend this shop and Beverly enough!

Long journey worth every mile

I drove from Norwich to Southampton to go to this shop. Fed up with not being able to try a range of dresses in other shops and only having 1 or two in my size. Not only was every dress in the shop able to fit me I had a huge variety and styles to try on. My dress was beautiful and made me feel like a princess all day.

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.
