Your Herts and Beds Wedding - December 2021/January 2022 (Issue 89)

HERITAGE BRIDES Located in a magical woodland barn, Heritage Brides specialises in whimsical and boho-style gowns that are generally light, flowy and quirky. After opening in 2014, customers are blown away by the beautiful space that adds to their magical experience. The company is of the elite retailers for Willowby and Wtoo by Watters, each of the romantic gowns epitomising what Heritage Brides stands for. With a whole rainbow palette of colours and tones available, brides don’t just have to pick ivory dresses as blush and nude shades are very popular, and this will continue into next year. For the sassy and daring brides-to-be, the Enzoani collections will be perfect. Many of these breathtaking gowns feature a statement train and will look so stunning in photographs. All designers stocked at the Hatfield House based boutique can be ordered in sizes to cater for all, and most of the gowns retail for less than £2,000. There’s also a specific range of Watters gowns, which have been introduced for curvy brides too. Only one appointment takes place at a time to allow the team to dedicate their attention to one client without any distractions. The staff will offer exceptional customer service while focusing on everything brides want.

Splits in skirts are staying on tread next year as well as puffy and detachable sleeves. Classic Mikado gowns will never grow boring, and with pockets and hundreds of buttons, it will remain a staple style.” https://elyseebridal.com ENCHANTED BRIDAL BOUTIQUE The team at Enchanted Bridal Boutique have a devoted passion and respect for all brides-to-be and will turn their fairytale dreams into a reality.
