An UNAPOLOGETICALLY Inclusive Wedding Gown fitting EXPERIENCE
Meet Debbie
Hi there! I'm the proud owner of the Somerset Bridal boutique in Minehead near Taunton, that's making waves in the wedding world by offering an unapologetically inclusive boutique experience for our brides.
A few years ago, I was just like any other bride-to-be, struggling to find the perfect gown that would flatter my curves. But my frustration turned into determination, and now I'm living the dream of helping every bride, no matter their size or body shape, find the dress of their dreams.
I remember the days of searching high and low for a boutique filled with samples in real sizes. But now, my boutique is that oasis of on-trend, beautiful gowns that I used to dream of. It's the best feeling in the world to see happy, confident brides who are owning their curves and looking absolutely stunning on their special day.
So if you're a bride-to-be, don't despair! I'm here to make sure you find the dress you never thought possible. Let's make your wedding day dreams come true!
Meet Suzi
Hey there! I'm Susie, one of Debbie's closest friends and the lead stylist at the Somerset Bridal Boutique.
When Debbie asked me to help out, I'll be honest, I didn't know much about bridal gowns. But now, I'm a pro!
I'm in love with the beautiful fabrics, textures, and colors of our gorgeous gowns. And trust me, there's a fabulous dress for every shape and size.
As a self-proclaimed people person and gin lover, I'm in the perfect place to spend time with amazing brides, their families, and friends. And did I mention the gin bar? It's truly a dream come true!
My goal is to make your experience with us as easy and fun as possible. That's why I love doing "behind the curtains with Susie" features. I want to share my knowledge and excitement about our dresses, and make sure you have a blast finding your dream gown. Let's make your bridal journey unforgettable!

FAQs about us
How are you different from other bridal boutiques & wedding dress shops?
Most wedding dress boutiques order sample dresses in size 10 or 12 or smaller. This means that their gowns only fit brides sized 8 or 10 (crazy eh!). Somerset Bridal is different; we pride ourselves on having the area’s largest selection of modern, contemporary styles in all sizes with over half of our gowns in larger sample sizes right up to a 36. This means that no matter what that silly number on your clothes happens to be you can actually try on wedding dresses to see how they would fit your body.
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.
