As part of our ‘spotlight on suppliers’ series, we’re shining the light on ‘The Dress Bridal Boutique, Oswestry’.
Boasting gowns by sought-after designers like Morilee and Élysée, this newly opened Shropshire bridal boutique is fast becoming a ‘must-visit’ for our over-the-border Brides.
We’re firm believers that the experience of choosing your wedding dress should be as unforgettable as the moment you wear it down the aisle. When it comes to planning your wedding, finding the dress is right up there with choosing your perfect venue. Few moments are as emotional – or as exciting.
As part of our new ‘spotlight on suppliers’ feature, our very own Jo paid a visit to a newly opened local bridal boutique that’s fast becoming a favourite for Shropshire brides: The Dress Bridal Boutique in Oswestry. Run by the lovely Katrina, this independent boutique offers a refreshingly personal dress-shopping experience. If you’re just starting your search, it’s one to keep on your radar.

Okay, But Why This Shropshire Bridal Boutique?
A bridal experience that’s all about you
At The Dress Bridal Boutique, it’s not about fitting into a dress. It’s about finding a wedding dress that fits you – your personality, your shape, and your story.
Katrina’s approach is simple: create a beautiful space where brides feel seen, supported, and never rushed. Every appointment is private and completely one-on-one (complete with Prosecco and cake, of course), giving you the freedom to relax and explore what feels ‘right’. No pressure, no nosy onlookers. Just you, a handful of your favourite people, and an expert who knows how to help you uncover your perfect silhouette – even if you don’t quite know what that is yet.
“Most brides come in not really knowing what they want,” Katrina shared. “We try on a few styles, talk through comfort and confidence – and more often than not, they leave with a dress that they hadn’t necessarily expected, that’s absolutely perfect.”
Exclusive designer dresses you won’t find just anywhere
One of our favourite things about The Dress Bridal Boutique has to be its carefully curated designer line-up. Every gown is personally selected by Katrina, who regularly travels to international buying events (we’d be lying if we didn’t admit we’re a little bit jealous of her recent work trip to Amsterdam!) to choose dresses based on their quality, fit, and flexibility.
The boutique stocks incredible, sought-after designers including Morilee, Martina Liana, Élysée, and Enzoani. And make no mistake, these aren’t ‘off-the-rack’ gowns – they’re made-to-order, highly customisable, and chosen with real brides in mind.
And because of designer exclusivity rules, many of these gowns aren’t available anywhere else in the Oswestry or Shrewsbury area, making The Dress Bridal Boutique a true hidden gem for brides with their finger on the wedding fashion pulse.
Something bespoke? Consider it done.
Whether you’re picturing a dramatic train, delicate sleeves, or a minimalist silhouette with a twist, Katrina can help bring your vision to life.
Many of her gowns are fully customisable. You can mix elements from different dresses within the same designer collection (hello, top of one and skirt of another), adjust linings and colourways, or opt for clever detachable features like sleeves, bows, and overskirts that let you transform your look from ceremony to evening.
“You can take a sleek, simple dress and add a full skirt with drama; then remove it later and dance the night away. It’s the best of both worlds – two dresses in one!”
