Each of our designers has a unique style to ensure that we offer everything from the simplest slip dress to the grandest gown. If you see a dress by one of our designers which we do not stock at Bridal Path, we will happily request the sample for you to try on by appointment.*

Jenny Packham

Probably the best known of our designers, Jenny’s award-winning designs prove very popular with brides wanting something a little different for their big day. Jenny’s designs have a vintage feel to them, evoking the glamour of the 1920’s and 1930’s. Predominantly working in silks embellished with crystals and beads, her gowns will make any bride feel very special. Prices start at £1295 inclusive of 2 fittings and alterations. Complete the look with an 'Acacia' headpiece and/or bracelet, available to hire or buy.

Stewart Parvin

The designer of choice for those ‘in the know’, Stewart’s star is very much in the ascendant. His designs are classic, elegant gowns with a timeless appeal and a firm belief that ‘less is more’. In 2007 he was awarded the Royal Warrant of Appointment to HM The Queen, having designed outfits for her Golden Jubilee and being credited with giving her a fresher, more modern look. All Stewart’s gowns are made here in the UK and prices start at £1995 made-to-measure and inclusive of fittings and alterations.

Amanda Wakeley

Probably better known for her stunning evening wear, Amanda’s strength is in the cut and simplicity of her gowns, using luxurious natural fabrics. Her attention to stitching detail and the cut of her fabrics makes for a sophisticated silhouette which would work beautifully in either a church or civil setting. Having recently bought back the business that bears her name, she is now fully at the helm and looks set to regain her place at the top of the fashion industry. Amanda’s dresses are made to order and prices start at £1750 inclusive of 2 fittings and alterations.

Sharon Bowen

Having trained in Paris and designed for the fashion houses of Chloe and Dior, Sharon’s designs are never run-of-the-mill, with a sense of adventure and the theatrical. Sharon personally oversees each bride's measurements to ensure that the fit of her dress is the best it can be and many of Sharon's designs can be customized through colour or trim to create a totally unique outfit, as simple or striking as the bride wishes. Sharon’s latest collection is using the finest sumptuous fabrics and crystals to create classic gowns evoking Dior’s ‘New Look’ era, plus glamorous, less structured dresses with fabulous beading and crystals. Prices start at £1175.

Motasem

One of the bright new stars designing in London, Sabina Ali’s middle name (meaning ‘beautiful’) lends itself perfectly to her label. Motasem is gaining recognition amongst the press for its simple yet gorgeous designs which retail at surprisingly reasonable prices. Dresses are made to order in London from a selection of colours, in pure silk with signature panelling and pleating details. Bridal Path has a selection of cocktail and wedding dresses whose styles will easily combine to create a unique design. Prices for the cocktail dresses start at £375, for wedding dresses £850 inclusive of 2 fittings and alterations.

Tobi Hannah

London-based designer Tobi launched her first bridal collection in 2009 and is rapidly developing a reputation within the bridal industry as a specialist designer of well-crafted short and tea-length wedding dresses. Tobi has made a big impact on the bridal scene over the last year and has been courted by the likes of Cosmo Bride magazine where she features regularly. She is the perfect designer to join our collection for those brides who want something a little different and unconventional. Tobi's entire bridal collection retails at under £500 and is made in the UK; her designs are available in a vast array of colours. An optional fixed-price alterations package is available for an additional £100.

Filippa Scott

Known more for her beautiful shoe collections, Filippa has expanded her design remit to a debut collection of UK-made gowns with some gorgeous and quirky twists. Prices to be confirmed but they will start at around £1350 inclusive of 2 fittings and alterations.

Grace Bardin

Greek-born Grace has over 30 years’ experience in haute couture and design and has worked around the world, including Europe, the USA and South Africa. We are fortunate to have her talent right here on our doorstep in Sawbridgeworth where her studio is based. Grace creates made-to-measure designs encompassing a range of styles, but can also offer a full couture service to create the perfect dress when a bride cannot find ‘The One’. Grace also offers individually designed, made-to-measure outfits for the mother of the bride and suits for the groom and his party, incorporating the finest Savile Row fabrics and tailoring plus cravats, waistcoats, ties and handkerchiefs, so that everything can be coordinated. In addition Grace conducts fittings and alterations for all our other designers so the bride can rest assured that her dress is in the best hands. Prices for Grace’s made-to-measure pieces by consultation.

* Unfortunately there is a charge of £50 for Jenny Packham sample dresses and £35 for Amanda Wakeley sample dresses, waived if a dress is purchased through Bridal Path. Their availability cannot be guaranteed as they are often used for promotional purposes but we will endeavour to do our best to order any sample requested at a time convenient to the bride. Please note that any sample requested will be a size 10.
