New Hampshire Bridal Boutique

Bride wears wedding gown

A new destination hotspot for brides-to-be in search of their dream dress has opened in Hampshire.

Owner Andrea Dargon has realised a lifelong ambition and opened her own luxury boutique Margaux Mae Bridal. Set on a rural business centre in the Hampshire village of Wickham, it offers a carefully curated selection of dresses from Lyn Ashworth, Madeline Gardner New York and Alison Webb, as well as tiaras and accessories supplied by local designer White Design Bridal and Rainbow Club shoes.

"Think picking out your dream dress while sat in your best friend's living room! That's the kind of atmosphere I aim to create for my brides, providing a one-on-one experience in an environment that isn't too over whelming," says Andrea.

Operating on an appointment-only basis to keep it intimate and private, visit www.margauxmae.co.uk to find out more.

Brits are swapping the 'big day' for the 'right day' as searches for intimate wedding venues soar

Couples are increasingly choosing quality time over large guest lists, with new search data revealing a growing demand for intimate weddings and stylish registry office ceremonies. According to Google search data analysed by Suit Direct, searches for "small intimate wedding venues near me" have increased by 86% year-on-year, while interest in "micro wedding packages" has risen 23% over the past three months, suggesting more couples are opting for meaningful celebrations that prioritise the experience over extravagance.
