The Mews Emporium
A new wedding dress boutique in London !
The Mews Emporium was established in Clifton
Village, Bristol in 2007. After a successful seven
years based in Clifton full of lots of happy brides
and beautiful dresses, we are excited to officially
announce that we are opening a brand new boutique
in Notting Hill, London.
Our luxurious bridal boutiques offer timeless
romanticism and enduring elegance, capturing the
spirit of the past with an essence of today.
Our Notting Hill boutique will seduce you from
the moment you walk through the door, with its
inviting décor, opulent chandeliers and a myriad
of shimmering gowns created by the very best of
French bridal couture. Our collection of wedding
dresses are passionately curated and draw on the
talents and vision of the most popular and dynamic
bridal designers today including Cymbelline Paris,
Delphine Manivet and our exclusive designer Laure
De Sagazan.
What to expect from your first appointment at The
Mews.?
Choosing your wedding dress should be both
enjoyable and fun, which is why we celebrate this
uniquely wonderful experience with a glass of
bubbly when you walk through our door. Our initial
appointments are an hour long, during which you
can expect to try on a selection of different gowns.
We advise you to keep an open mind and try some
styles that we suggest, even if you think you might
not like them; you’ll be surprised at what suits you
and what doesn’t. We often present a suggestion that
you fall in love with and sometimes you’ll discover
something you had your heart set on simply doesn’t
work at all. Our bridal stylists will help you choose a
dress that compliments not only the design concept
for your day, but also your body shape and, most
importantly, your personality.
Who to bring with you to you appointment.?
Our team of bridal stylists are highly trained in
couture, experienced in fashion and textiles and
provide the very highest level of personal customer
service. We work with passion and dedication to
ensure you find your perfect dress because we
believe every wedding dress should not only be
exquisite and head-turning but also reflect the
unique individuality of every one of our brides.
In the excitement of trying on wedding dresses, it’s
really tempting to bring everyone you know, but we
can tell you as a matter of fact that this tends to lead
to disaster! Too many opinions can be conflicting,
confusing and overwhelming, so we suggest a
maximum of three guests – mother of the bride,
maid of honour and a trusted friend or relative is
usually sufficient.

dress from The Mews.??
What to wear to your appointment?
When to start looking for a dress.
?In our experience, 10 months is the ideal length of
time. This will enable you to have a couple of months
gathering ideas and inspiration but still leave you
with an adequate amount of time to place your
order in accordance with our designers’ lead times.
The more shops you initially visit and the longer you
wait to place your order, the more stressful things
will become.

You are going to be hopping in and out of dresses, so
first of all we suggest you wear underwear that you
don’t mind being seen in! It might seem obvious, but
do try to wear flesh-coloured, seamless underwear
if possible (neon thongs tend to show up beneath
delicate material!). Alongside this, try to wear a
good, uplifting strapless bra. Bad underwear affects
the way material sits whereas good underwear
will help the gown look its best. We can provide
shoes for
