So in no particular order, here is our run-down:

Iris by Kelsey Rose is the perfect amount of whimsical. Iris has the stunning sparkle lace flutter sleeve that we love so much from Aurora. With a gorgeous fitted waistband that nips perfectly under the bust and continues to the waist, it shows off the female form in the best possible way. The tulle skirt creates a soft and dreamy look, while the split in the skirt adds a contemporary touch that is perfect for the modern bride. The low cut lace back is a stunning detail that is both elegant and refined. She is also available in a B version without the sleeves, if the flutter is not for you. 

Arlo by Kelsey Rose is the perfect choice for the bride who wants to make a bold statement on her special day, with her gorgeous bold all over floral lace. She features a plunge neckline, making it perfect for the bride who wants to showcase her confidence and beauty. The keyhole back provides the perfect balance of coverage and exposure. And not forgetting, the split in the skirt that adds an extra touch of glamour. Arlo is definitely guaranteed to knock your partner off their feet, the moment you walk down the aisle.

Maisie by Kelsey Rose is arguably Kelsey Rose’s most glamorous dress from the latest collection. In the clean cut classic crepe, with eye-catching puff sleeves and plunge neck-line and featuring a pearl-trimmed wide waistband with a neckline and back detail finished with delicate pearls, adding that touch of subtle glamour. And not forgetting the cheeky split, perfect to show off some statement shoes.

Aster by Kelsey Rose has the beautiful mocha undertone with soft dotty tulle skirt. Her delicate appliqué lace straps and detail on the structured bodice, exuding an elegant and feminine charm. Her illusion scoop back with side cut-outs adds a touch of playfulness, re-enforced with a side split. Perfect for adding a little bit of boho princess to your bridal look.

Una by Kelsey Rose has the gorgeous chiffon skirt that we love so much from Kelsey Rose. In true Kelsey fashion, they have taken the best bits of pervious collections too curate a wedding dress that embodies them all.  With a beautiful halter-neck, she is the perfect choice for a modern bride who wants to combine elegance and femininity. Una’s statement illusion back, with a lace trim and button details, is the perfect example of Kelsey Rose 360 designing.

That's a wrap for 2023

2023! What a year it has been! We have achieved so much over the last 12 months and wouldn't of been able to do it all without you. Our followers, family & friends, our recommended suppliers and of course our Vicki's Bride family.

We started 2023 on a real high, winning our second Hitched award for 'Best Bridal Store in Kent'. We were also then listed number 16 of the best wedding dress shops in the UK. Being only 2 years old this has felt like such a huge achievement, to be recognised by such an established wedding company is such an honour. Not to mention being put in the same category as some of the other amazing bridal stores in the UK.

It was really important to us that this year we expanded our services that we offer our brides. We now have the most talented seamstress duo as apart of our team, offering in-house alterations to our brides once their wedding dress has arrived. Nikki & Tracy have over 25 years experience in the wedding industry, bridal runs through their veins and we feel so lucky to be able to have The Wedding Dress Surgeon as our recommend seamstress. We also started our wedding dress cleaning and boxing service to all brides. You can find out more about this service here.

We celebrated our 2nd birthday this year! 2 years of growing a family of the most amazing brides, helping brides find their dream wedding dresses and being a part of their very special journey. We can't believe how fast this year has gone, and we will soon be 3! We have so many ideas and plans to bring to Vicki's Bridal Boutique.

We had our annual trips to Bridal Week, London in March and Harrogate in September. If you follow us on social media, you will know we absolutely love Bridal Week! We are like kids in a toy shop every time we go. Catching up with our wonderful suppliers, but also fellow bridal shop owners that we have made friends with over the years. We always have such a good time, viewing new collections and designers. It's not all play, we do have to work there too, one of the jobs being choosing our new collections! Always a tricky task as we end up liking them all and have to narrow it down. The 2024 collection is beautiful, and we really feel like we are finding our style and place in the bridal industry. In the New Year, you can expect a new collection from Ellis Bridals! But if you can't wait, just take a look at our collections page for a preview.

Off the back of Harrogate this year we became the first Kent stockists of Jacqueline Louise Bridal, Bridesmaids Collection! We now stock a range of gorgeous Multiway Bridesmaids dresses and our brides have been loving them. We are now able to offer bridesmaid appointment for you and your bridal party. Booking can be made online.

We hosted two trunk shows this year with two incredible British designers, Sophie Rose Bridal and Kate Fearnley, both designed and handmade in the UK. We are on the hunt to find the perfect designer to add to our collection, someone with a difference. So watch this space...

We also become recommended suppliers for not one but TWO gorgeous venues in Kent. Vicki's Bridal Boutique is now listed recommended suppliers for bridal wear for The Oak Barn, Frame Farm and The Old Kent Barn.

A highlight of this year has to be being crowned winners of the Muddy Stilettos 'Best Bridal in Store in Kent' Award. What a moment this was. This award is public voted, so the fact that members of the public took their time to vote for us is incredible. We wish we could thank every single person, if you were one of those people, thank you so much!

Another pinch us moment has to of been hosting our first Kelsey Rose brand event. We had a wonderful evening with our recommended suppliers, Grace from Kelsey Rose and gorgeous brides-to-be, where we discussed all things weddings. Kelsey Rose sent us their entire collection along with hair accessories from The Bobby Pin and shoes from The Perfect Bridal Company and our brides loved it. Our event was a hit, and we can't wait to host another one! Kelsey Rose is by far our best-selling designer, and this year we were named 'Top Repeaters for 2023'.

And of course, our family grew by one more this year as Hannah welcomed her second daughter into the world. Lily Longworth-Smith. These are just a few of our highlights from an incredible year, it has been so great to be able to reflect on what truly has been a great year for Vicki's Bridal Boutique. Thank you again to everyone for your continued support on a daily basis. It really doesn't go unnoticed. We pinch ourselves every day that this is our real life, we are living our dream.

So, that's a wrap for 2023...see you in 2024! We can't wait!

Our Summer 2023 Vicki's Brides

This summer really was ‘The Summer of Love’ with so many gorgeous couples saying ‘I Do’. It was said to be one of the busiest years for couples tying the knot in recent years, and boy it certainly felt like it!! With so many of our brides part of this, we just had to share some of our Vicki’s Brides special days, as we think they just look absolutely stunning. And feel so honoured to have been part of their bridal journey…

Katie Dougal, first came to us in 2021 when she about 20 weeks pregnant with her little boy to get an idea of the wedding dresses she was liking. She then returned to us after baby arrived to confirm which dress she was going for. After choosing the gorgeous Amelie by Kelsey Rose, as Katie went to alteration she found out she was expecting her second baby!! But the amazing ladies at The Wedding Dress Surgeons worked their magic to make sure bump was catered for, and doesn’t she look stunning at the Garden Wedding.

Rochelle Bison, was our lovely Christmas Eve appointment in 2021, after visiting us a couple of months prior and trying another Kelsey Rose dress that we had tracked down for her, she decided Scilly by Kelsey Rose was the perfect dress for her for her gorgeous wedding at Chiding Stone Castle. She also wore a beautiful bespoke Romy by Tulle & Flo, swapping the flowers for pearls.

Megan wore the gorgeous Demi by Nieve Couture to say 'I Do' at the beautiful Brickwall House, a local venue that only opens for serval weddings a year. When Megan first came to us, she was also 20 weeks pregnant, but this was the perfect timing - allowing her time to choose her perfect dress without rushing after baby arrived.

Photographer: Dale Weeks Photography

Jo Parsons fell in love with Thea by Kelsey Rose just days after she arrived with us at the end of summer last year. The mocha tone looked stunning with Jo’s skin tone, and the falling rose lace is simply gorgeous. These photo just made us smile, seeing the love between them.

Lauren, truly embraced her own bridal style, knowing it was not like everyone else. She walked away with the super fun and flirty Harriet sample dress by House of Mooshki. Lauren was so excited from the moment she put her on in the boutique and I’m sure you can all agree this wedding dress was made for her.

Lucy Healy eloped with her partner and their little girl to the Lake District for an intimate ceremony. Lucy’s appointment is one we will never forget… She had been patiently waiting for Odessa by Kelsey Rose to come in, she was the first to book in as soon as she was back in stock. We of course played the game trying on different dresses but saving Odessa to last, there was no question as soon as she put her on. In Lucy’s words, “Well I look bloody fantastic don’t I?!” Lucy teamed Odessa with the gorgeous Odette Veil by Tulle & Flo.

Photographer: B Photography

Carly Brewer, one of our lovely local brides, she fell in love with the stunning Michelle by Nieve Couture, which she teamed with a delicate pearl belt and sparkle veil. When she came to collect, she came armed with exciting news that she was expecting her first baby, due just 6 weeks before the big day. Working closely with the lovely The Wedding Dress Surgeons right up to the wire, they altered the dress after baby arrived. And aren’t these just the cutest wedding photos you have ever seen.

Hannah actually came back to us after her first appointment for one dress and walked out with something very different. She ended up with Juno by Kelsey Rose and it really was one of those rare moments where Megan pulled the curtain back and all of us had that overwhelming reactions that this was her dress. It was just so perfectly her, even in the wrong size.

These are just a few of our beautiful Vicki's Brides from summer 2023 so we want to also say huge congratulations to Molly, Sonia, Megan, Daley, Sophie, Jess, Debbie, Bridie, Vicky, Susan, Marta, Sarah, Lara, Hannah, Marisa, Tia and Chloe. We hope you all had the most amazing day.
