Wedding-dress shopping should be a joy and nowhere is it more so than at Miss Bush, one of the oldest and most established bridal boutiques in the UK, whose 35 years' experience shows in its expert dress curation and personal service, tailored to empower brides from their first appointment to walking down the aisle
-

AT Miss Bush, there is no scripted approach to bridal-dress shopping. Instead, the boutique offers a distinctive and engaging experience, honed over the 35 years since it was opened. We have now been lucky enough to see generations of brides through our doors,' explains managing director Emma Meek, 'with mothers who bought their dresses with us bringing along their daughters to enjoy the same'.
Service is top notch at this stunning former chapel in Ripley, Surrey, where brides can expect a consultancy, rather than a typical sales boutique. The essence of a bride's style, type of wedding, and personality are taken into account from the very start. Interestingly, Miss Bush has an independent streak: there is the notion that not all is rainbows and confetti with wedding planning and brides want to be taken seriously, rather than being offered a dumbed-down experience so common in the market today. Miss Bush is all about finding the ideal solution for each bride, with individuality firmly celebrated.
