First anniversary for Hampshire bridal boutique

Carina Rose Bridal in High Street, Stockbridge is celebrating its first birthday.

Owner Carina Maylam has enjoyed a whirlwind year, travelling to Italy and Spain to view new collections of fabulous wedding dresses and helping brides-to-be to find the one.

After a successful career in the luxury property industry, Carina decided to venture into the world of weddings following her daughter's engagement in 2016 when they started looking for her dream wedding gown together. “Seeing all the beautiful fabrics and styles appealed to my sense of fashion,” she explains.

Her aim has been to open a bridal boutique with a difference, that looks and feels special and delivers a first-class service. A converted shop at The Vine, a former grade II listed pub in Stockbridge, provided the perfect home. The boutique offers a selection of wedding dresses from the St. Patrick, La Sposa, Enzoani and LouLou Bridal collections with another new designer due to be added to the range.

Veils by Helen Martin and shoes by Freya Rose, The Perfect Bridal Co. and other wedding accessories are also available.
