Shakespeare In Love Wedding Boutique | Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire

Lifestyle, Tips For Clients

August 11, 2017

On the hunt to find the best wedding vendors in the Midlands to recommend to my brides, I found Shakespeare In Love Boutique in Stratford-upon-Avon. This wedding dress boutique is owned and run by the all around lovely Chantelle. She welcomed me with her big smile and warm personality as I am sure she welcomes every bride who comes into her shop. I had high hopes when visiting Shakespeare In Love, and I am so pleased that my expectations were met and exceeded!

Chantelle works around the clock to cater to her brides. She’s not just a small business owner but also has a degree in Bridalwear (I didn’t even know that was possible!). When she’s not waiting on a bride, she’s working behind the scenes altering gowns and even making handmade veils!

The reason I mention this about Chantelle is that I know firsthand that your wedding dress shopping experience is wildly dictated by the vibe of the boutiques and the owners who run them. What could be a great experience could be quickly diminished by pushy salesmanship and rushed shop owners. Of which Chantelle is neither!

One thing Chantelle said to me was, “I know I don’t have a dress for every single bride.” Why is this admirable? Because it shows she cares more about her brides than about selling her dresses. She would much rather you find THE dress and be 100% happy or keep looking for the right one. She’s not going to try to sell you something you’re not already sold on and she won’t take it personally if you don’t find what you’re looking for. But ladies, this shop is worth a look!

When meeting Chantelle I had some time to take a few pictures of some of her gorgeous gowns and details. Have a look below!
