James and Sophie’s ‘Low Waste’ Nature Loving Kent Wedding by Chris Blackledge Photography
Today I have another fabulous wedding from Chris Blackledge Photography who is becoming quite the regular...

This afternoon, I am taking you off to Wales to introduce you to a wonderful bridal store called Hannah Emily Bridal. Hannah, the owner of the boutique set up the business in 2011, soon after she got married and found it hard to find her ideal gown. Hannah decided to fill the gap she found in the market for the laid back, alternative bride, looking for a gown that offered her both style, romance and individuality all mixed in with a boho twist. This she has done with great success and now has a boutique full of beautiful gowns and bridal accessories.
I myself have loved fashion since studying textiles in high school I then went on to study fashion in college and on to study further in university so I’ve always very much appreciated beautiful clothes, fabrics and design after graduating university I came back to wonderful Wales to work in retail to gain further experience, I had always loved the idea of having my own bridal boutique, but was at that point a ‘pipeline dream’
In December 2010 I met my fab husband we got engaged in May and were then married in December 2011 after much debate as to wether I would design my own dress or not I decided I would prefer to try and find something to order in as did not have much time! I struggled to find anything that was my style in Cardiff at that point and ended up sourcing my dress from Taunton!!
Through my own struggles of finding my wedding dress I found the encouragement I needed to open my own boutique back home in a Cardiff, thankfully my husband totally supported Hannah Emily Bridal from the very beginning.
We then opened the doors end of October 2011, I’d say the collections we carry (including our own) are for the laid back easy going bride to be who is sure of herself and her own style a romantic at heart and appreciates something a tad alternative we really have been so blessed to have had the most creative and gorgeous brides around!our dress prices range from £1000 to £2200 we’ve just launched our new range Rembo styling which are effortlessly bohemian and of course truly gorgeous!
I’d like to think that our brides would always leave our boutique super excited to have found their dream dress I truly believe that it’s one of the biggest decisions you make, it’s important that you feel completely beautiful in your chosen dress on your wedding day, the highlights of my Job is the privilege of being a part of our brides special day, the smile they have when they come to see their dress for the first time and receiving some photos after, love it! Many of our competitors like to attend award ceremonies which is great, but for me as long as my brides are happy that is my greatest achievement
Most of my spare time is currently spent browsing the up and coming wedding collections, and fashion trends, I am loving the floral prints this year! when not at work I enjoy walking with the husband and our two yorkipoos and looking after our horse who I adore spending time with we are very pro animals, and support several organisations that protect animals we always source cruelty free products which isn’t always easy! and try to support rescues as much as we can a matter close to my heart.
We hope you love our collections….
