On a bustling street in Hamilton lies a prominent new name in bridalwear – Glasgow Gowns. Its flagship store already boasts prestigious designers, including Maggie Sottero, with more names continually being announced.
Created by bridalwear devotee Hayley, the brand and ethos of Glasgow Gowns are centred around delivering style and elegance to suit all budgets. The team at Glasgow Gowns strives to make the entire bridal shopping experience luxurious and inviting for all.
The vision for Glasgow Gowns was born from Hayley’s own wedding dress shopping experiences. Believe it when she says she understands every emotion her brides feel when they walk through the door. It’s this experience that allows for the compassionate, patient, and above-and-beyond approach the team at Glasgow Gowns provides.
Glasgow Gowns really does cater for brides from all walks of life. With a collection of the hottest on-trend gowns inspired by the runways, to a variety of vintage-inspired and timeless classics, there truly is something for everyone at this stylish and modern boutique.
What can a bride expect on their first visit to Glasgow Gowns?
- A warm welcome, a selection of drinks, and an opportunity to browse the collection and relax before the consultation begins.
- Q&A time with your bridal consultant.
- An opportunity to try on five carefully selected gowns, with complementing accessories.
- A walk-through of the entire process when you’ve chosen your dream dress; customisation options, timelines, and what to expect next.
What can we find in store at Glasgow Gowns?
An exquisite selection of wedding dresses by the likes of Maggie Sottero, Rebecca Ingram and House of Nicholas. There’s also a stunningly modern collection of accessories by the very talented Unveiled by Sophie and Scarlett and Wolfe Headwear. And not forgetting a gorgeous collection of bridesmaid dresses by True Bride, alongside flower girl dresses by Emma Bridals. This little hidden gem of a boutique really does cater for the full bridal party.
What does the future look like for Glasgow Gowns?
With new designers and labels, a second boutique (in Glasgow this time) already in the making, and an abundance of the most beautiful brides already under its belts, the sky really is the limit for this brand. Watch this space (or Instagram…).
Hayley shares her top tips for your bridal appointments
- Bring your biggest supporters
We often hear the words, ‘’I’ve brought my biggest critic’’. Well, simply don’t. Our stylists are HUGE advocates of building other women up. Surround yourself with people who bring out the sassy, confident bride in you who knows her own style.
- Dare to bare
We’re often asked what underwear to wear. If you’re comfortable to do so, bin the bra! Straps often overshadow the intricate detailing of the shoulder and neckline of gowns, whether they’re nude or not.
- Bring an open mind
Brides often fall in love with the gown they least expect! Come with an open mind, and your stylist will help do the rest.
