Who is Bys Vyken Bridal?
Hi, I’m Zoë, the founder of Bys Vyken Bridal Boutique in Bristol. “Bys Vyken” is Cornish for “forever,” and as I grew up in Newquay, I wanted to bring a little of Cornwall – with it’s relaxed, unique vibe – to my boutique.
I was a 2020 bride, whose wedding was delayed by Covid, meaning I ended up doing it twice – a small registry service in 2020 and a beautiful, full wedding day in 2021. I visited quite a few places whilst searching for the dress of my dreams and it’s fair to say that my experiences were mixed. When I finally found “the one,” it was at a bridal boutique that had a really wonderful, relaxed energy and I was inspired by more than just the dress I chose!
I knew I’d found something I was excited about and it became my mission to create a bridal boutique in Bristol that would be the perfect blend of inclusivity, sustainability and that fabulous, relaxed vibe I’d experienced when I found my wedding dress.
What To Expect From Your Visit
On the day of your visit to Bys Vyken Bridal, you can rest assured that the space is entirely yours for the duration of your appointment and privacy is guaranteed. We have a changing room and you’ll be provided with a robe to wear between dresses, so you’ll never have to worry about being semi-nude in front of a stranger (although if you’re comfortable without the robe, please feel free to do whatever you like!).
Our appointments last 1 hour and 45 minutes, so you don’t need to fret that you’ll feel at all rushed.
We suggest bringing one or two close friends or family members with you when you visit, although the space can accommodate up to three guests if there’s someone you’d really like to join you.
There will be a selection of complimentary refreshments available on the day – we understand that wedding dress shopping is thirsty work, after all!
