New Beginnings Bridal Full Description
New Beginnings Bridal is a family run Bridal Boutique based in the beautiful, historic town of Newport Pagnell.
Our aim is to provide affordable luxury and an unbeatable experience to every bride, no matter your budget, personal style, orientation or size!
We service all of the Four Counties; Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire.
We have brides travel from all over the UK to have an appointment with us due to our renowned service!
We are so proud of this and love that Brides know we can help; no matter the stage of dress shopping!
New Beginnings was born from the experiences Rhian and her Mum, Gail received whilst wedding dress shopping.
They felt that the way many boutiques were run was outdated and could be inaccessible to most brides; whether that was due to really expensive dresses, tiny sample sizes or just plain, bad service.
Rhian has a background in fashion design and worked within a highly commended company as a Customer Service Manager for 8 years.
New Beginnings Bridal opened its doors in April 2018, initially selling ex samples dresses. This was to test the waters and see if brides would appreciate what could be offered.
In September 2018, the business really took form and we began to stock made to order dresses.

Went into liquidation taking my dress and payment in full with her
0 stars if I could. 1st appointment felt rushed but we found a dress and paid in full, 2nd appointment was booked incorrectly so wasnt a full appointmebt only 30 mins, 3rd appointment fine and found a different dress I loved! Paid the difference. Checked in 3 months before my wedding to be hit back with an email to say the store has closed with immediate effect. Next email was that we needed to Contact our suppliers directly which I did to find out they had my dress but it hadn't been sent as it wasn't paid for. (I paid in full 1 year before!) I have had to pay again. She is not responding to emails or anything and bow trying to get the payment back from the bank which is proving difficult without a confirmed delivery date! I really hope she doesn't open a new business as she has scammed hundreds of people out of the joyous moment of finding their wedding dresses and their perfect day.

Amazing service and beautiful Boutique
I was the MOH at my best friends wedding and we decided to go to New beginnings for our bridesmaids dresses. Rhiannon was amazing from the very start! The boutique is stunning, the service is outstanding and I will definitely be coming back to buy my bridal gown here. It was a real treat to see someone who had a passion for helping brides achieve their vision in such a friendly way. The choice of gowns were really good and even when covid hit, New Beginnings handled everything wonderfully.

Warm and welcoming
Rhian was so warm and welcoming, and she found me the perfect dress on the first try. I was quite nervous when I first came in as I was on my own, but she reassured me that a lot of brides come in on their own. Would a 100% recommend

Highly Recommended!
I went to New Beginnings with my best friend Sadie and after months of searching we found her dream dress!!
They had such a good range, from special dresses freshly imported to gorgeous dresses at really reasonable prices.
Rhian who owns the shop was amazing, such a lovely genuine person and really gave a personable service.
Highly recommend!

I found my dream dress!
Thank you to Rhian who helped me finally find my dream dress!!!
This was my 8th bridal shop and I must have tried on over 50 dresses!
New Beginnings stock the gorgeous LiRi Bridal Collection from Israel so I didn't think twice about travelling down from Preston to try on the range.....and luckily I found it!!!
The shop also support local charities such as the RSPCA and help ill and struggling brides too, so I was so pleased to be buying from such a kind person.
I can't wait to come back and try on my dress when it arrives.
