About Somerset Bridal
An UNAPOLOGETICALLY Inclusive Wedding Gown fitting EXPERIENCE
What makes us...Us
Somerset Bridal is a wedding dress boutique, dedicated to providing an inclusive and welcoming experience for all brides, regardless of their body shape or size. We believe that every bride deserves to feel beautiful and confident on their wedding day, and strive to make that a reality for everyone who walks through our doors.
At Somerset Bridal, brides can expect to find a wide selection of wedding gowns in a range of sample sizes from a 6 to a 46. Our team of experienced stylists is trained to help brides find the perfect dress, regardless of their body shape or size. We are also able to accommodate brides with special needs, such as wheelchair users.
How we support our brides?
One of the things that sets Somerset Bridal apart is our understanding of the female form. We believe that everybody should be accepted whether you love your body or not, not everyone can feel positive about themselves when they look in the mirror and this can cause great anxiety at the thought of wedding dress shopping.
We encourage our brides to accept their body from a position of neutrality. We will help them find a dress that makes them feel confident and radiant as they walk down the aisle. We only work with a diverse group of suppliers who must show a commitment to an inclusive attitude.
Your experience
In addition to offering a welcoming and inclusive environment, Somerset Bridal also places a strong emphasis on our customer service. Our goal is to make the wedding dress shopping experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible for all of our brides. From the initial consultation to the final fitting, we are there to guide and support each bride every step of the way.
A bridal community
Somerset Bridal is not just a bridal shop but a community, an experience and a support system where women can find their dream wedding dress and feel celebrated for who they are.
We are proudly giving back. Every gown sold at Somerset Bridal helps fund five women survivors of war at https://womenforwomen.org.uk/
We are Committed to creating an inclusive wedding dress experience
Inclusivity isn't a trend for us, it's been at the heart of Somerset Bridal for over 10 years, long before it became an industry conversation. That means private appointments where no other bride or member of the public will ever see you, sample dresses in sizes 6 to 46 actually in store to try on, stylists trained to support brides with disabilities, burns and skin conditions, and a warm welcome for same-sex couples and LGBTQ+ brides because love comes in every form. With two stores catering for every budget, and a luxury, professional service throughout, we're here to make sure every single bride feels confident, celebrated and supported every step of the way.

FAQs about us
How are you different from other bridal boutiques & wedding dress shops?
Where do we start! We stock sample dresses in sizes 6 to 46, most boutiques only go to a size 12 or 14, which means many brides are left imagining how a dress might look rather than actually trying it on. We have two stores covering every budget from £99 to £4,000. Every appointment is completely privatand no other brides will ever share your space. We have an in-house seamstress. We offer a unique Happiness Guarantee. We offer a Travel Package for brides making the journey from further afield. And we've been doing this for over 10 years with the same passion we started with. We also focus exclusively on brides, no prom, no occasion wear — just weddings, every single day
I am not a Plus Size bride
We cater for ALL sizes, our mantra is that we are 'unapologetically inclusive'. So whether you fit in a size 8 or a size 36 we firmly believe that you are not skinny-size or plus-size, you are WOMAN-SIZE. What matters is that we understand the female body in all its exquisite forms and size truly does not matter when you are shopping for a wedding gown. Our sample sizes are often larger so that we can help every bride and no-one has to imagine what a dress could look like on them. We have lots of clever tricks to pin a gown to your figure.
