We now carry on to ‘LA PREMIERE’. This gorgeous designer is constantly collaborating with incredible designers and stylists all over the world, creating new and upcoming unique designs for each collection and each type of bride. Specialising in heavily detailed but lightweight embellished gowns, along with 3D floral lace, La premiere is your ‘bo-ho’ mixed with ‘glamour’ go-to.

Essentially, knowing what ‘vibe’ you want for your wedding day will prove a massive advantage when dress shopping! Being able to envision your big day will narrow down what you are possibly searching for in a wedding gown. For example, if your wedding is in the likes of Spain, Greece or Brazil in the summer- you probably don’t want a satin ball gown carrying an abbey length train? Or maybe you do? You will never actually know what you want, or even suit until you try it on!

The lead up to stepping foot into your first bridal appointment can be daunting, we get that! In Verona Bridal you are guaranteed to always be met with a friendly face, and of course some bubbles to ease the worry!

We are so excited for what’s to come with Verona Bridal, and getting to meet so many more of you gorgeous brides-to-be!
