New Hampshire Bridal Boutique

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.
