Our commitment to sustainability
Creating a CARBON Neutral & SUSTAINABLE BRIDAL dress EXPERIENCE
Sustainability
Somerset Bridal is a unique bridal boutique that is dedicated to making the world a better place, one wedding dress at a time. Our eco-friendly and sustainable bridal boutique is committed to offsetting the carbon footprint of the wedding dresses we stock by planting trees through a tree planting service for every dress sold.
At Somerset Bridal, we believe that every bride should be able to look and feel her best on her big day, without compromising the planet. We understand that weddings can be a major source of carbon emissions, from the transportation of guests to the production of the dress. That's why we've made it our mission to offer as many beautiful, sustainable bridal gowns that don't harm the environment, as we can.
Carbon footprint reduction
Our collection of wedding dresses is carefully curated to ensure that, if possible each dress is made from sustainable materials and produced in an environmentally-friendly manner. From organic cotton to recycled polyester, we try to stock dresses that are kind to the planet.
But we don't stop there. We also offset the carbon footprint of every dress we stock through a carbon offsetting program. This means that for every dress sold, we invest in projects that reduce or remove an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This could be anything from renewable energy projects to reforestation initiatives.
Tree planting service
We plant trees through a tree planting service, on behalf of our brides for every dress sold. This helps to offset the carbon footprint of the dress even further and helps to create a greener future for all of us.
Don't worry though, we haven't sacrificed style for sustainability. Our collection of eco-friendly wedding dresses is just as beautiful and elegant as traditional wedding dress. From classic ball gowns to modern minimalistic designs, we have something for every bride.
We also pride ourselves on our personalised service. Our experienced bridal consultants will work with you to find the perfect dress for your big day, taking into consideration your style, body shape and budget.
So if you're a bride-to-be who wants to make a positive impact on the planet, come and visit us at Somerset Bridal. You'll find a beautiful and sustainable wedding dress that you'll love, and the satisfaction of knowing that you're doing your part to make the world a better place.

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.
