Established in 2017, Stephanie Frances Bridal opened their first shop in the south coast town of Southbourne, Dorset. Over the 5 years they were in Southbourne, the business went from strength to strength. Stephanie Frances Bridal became known for their wide range of dress styles, sample sizing and vast knowledge of design and alterations.
In February 2022 we relocated our boutique to 5A South Street, Wareham.. Arranged over 2 floors we have created a luxurious and relaxing bridal area upstairs, with our downstairs room dedicated to our alterations. Stephanie was also joined by her sister Madii, who took on the role as head bridal consultant, making this truly a family business!
We carry dresses by Lillian West, Sincerity, Adore by Justin Alexander, Kelsey Rose Bridal and two private labels ‘The Bespoke Collection’ and ‘Rings’. We also have a large collection of ex sample dresses available to buy off the peg by Wtoo, Willowby, Millie May and Millie Grace. Spanish labels Adriana Alier, Alma Novia, Luna Novias. British designers Tiffanys Timeless, Ivory & Co and Charlotte Balbier.
We work on an Appointment Only basis and we have sample dresses to try on in sizes 10-26 priced between £690.00 - £2250. We also have lots of ex sample dresses available from £150 - £995 sizes 10 - 26.

relaxed, vintage, classic, modern and unique
Everything! Seeing photos of my brides on their wedding days looking so happy in dresses I have either made, or have altered for them is a lovely feeling.
Seeing the smiles on my brides faces when their dress is complete and ready to go!
I can't decide... there are too many!
I sew a little blue bow into the inside of my dresses.
oooo I love Grace Kelly's dress the vintage lace with plain bottom.... I also loved Kate Middletons dress for the same reason! And for something a bit different I also loved Gwen Stefani's Dior wedding dress with a dip dyed pink hem!!
