Personal Message from the Manager
Name of Wedding Contact: Stephanie
Hi, I'm Stephanie the owner of Stephanie Frances Bridal. I studied Fashion Design at university, I was in my final year of my degree when I decided I wanted to work for myself and own my own bridal shop. It took many years of working from home making a variety of dresses for clients but 2 years ago I finally made the jump!!
As well as stocking designer dresses, I also still make bespoke dresses for brides, maids/evening wear and even Mothers of Bride/Grooms! I really do love my job!!
