Our award-winning bridal boutique in South Scotland aims to provide a magical bridal service for every kind of bride!
Relaxing, fun environment
Our boutique aims to focus on fun, and finding someting you love - not selling you a gown. Coming to our boutique is about trying on styles that are right for you, without pressure to purchase.
Exclusive, private appointments
When choosing Isobel Florence Bridal, you're choosing to get a consultant who has your full attention. You'll have complete privacy in our bridal suite, meaning you can focus on feeling comfortable, and not what everyone else is seeing.
Inclusive of all brides
Some boutiques may only offer gowns in a runway size, we have inclusive sizing in our boutique. Brides don't come in just one size, so we have ensured that all sizes are represented across our samples. From size 8 to size 30, we have gowns for you to try on.
Over 200 styles of bridal wear
We dont have just one single style of bride. You might be a traditional bride, or a funky bride. You might like boho or modern. You may even want something not white! We aim to cater for all bridal styles within our collections.
Have a question? We’re here to help.
When you arrive at the salon, your bridal consultant will check you in and ensure we have all the information we need from you to give you the best experience. This includes your budgets, your wedding date, and any styles you would like to try on. Your bridal party will then be invited to relax in the bridal suite while you get ready in our changing rooms.
We will then select dresses from our collections for you to try on. If you know what you are looking for, you can guide our dressers, but we will also be on hand to help brides who have no idea what they want!
You will then be able to show your bridal party your dress to get their opinion. You are welcome to try on any accessories with the dress as well.
Once you have had your 'Yes' moment, we will take your measurements and fill out any details or requests needed for the dress, and take a deposit.
Finally, we'll take a picture of you and your party celebrating you finding your dress!
When trying on bridal, you want to ensure you are wearing something easy to change out of. It's also good to consider what underwear you're wearing. We recommend wearing skin coloured or light pants, and if possible a strapless bra.
For many bridal dresses, it's likely you won't wear a bra, so it may be that you want to take it off on the day.
We will provide a robe for you to wear in between dresses, so you'll feel comfortable throughout the whole appointment.
Please note: We ask that you refrain from wearing fake tan before you come to an appointment as it can stain our dresses.
Once your dress has been ordered, it usually takes around 18-24 weeks to arrive, but this can vary depending on the designer.
When it arrives, we'll let you know so you can book your first fitting. At this appointment we'll show you your dress, and try it on to ensure it's everything you dreamed of.
If you are happy with your dress, you can take it home that day, or your can leave it in the salon for up to 12 weeks.
We understand that brides have varying budgets.
We have dresses to order in store from £900 to £3000. A typical bride spends around £1400 - £2000 on a gown in our boutique when ordering from our Main Collection, but we can cater for brides who want to spend less, or more than this range.
We also offer a selection of ex-sample dresses that are available off-the-peg, meaning you can take them home on the day. Prices start from £150.
