an intimate at-home atelier
A one-woman operation, Louise Selby Bridal truly is a personal experience with Louise’s attention to detail second-to-none.
The Studio
Tucked away in leafy Kew, South-West London, Louise’s studio sits within her beautiful home, a light-filled, tranquil space designed to make every bride feel at ease. Surrounded by the calm of the garden and inspired by the natural beauty of nearby Kew Gardens, it offers one of the most private and personal bridal experiences you can find.
This is a true working atelier where every stage of the process takes place under one roof, from the first fitting to the final hand-finished detail. The atmosphere is serene yet full of creative energy, with rails of gowns, soft light and a table of handwritten thank-you notes from past brides, each one a reminder of the joy found in the making.
The Experience
An appointment with Louise is entirely personal. In her words, “it’s just me, my dresses, and my full attention.” Each bride is given the time and space to explore silhouettes, fabrics and details, all guided by Louise’s experienced, intuitive eye.
The result is a dress that feels as individual as the woman wearing it.
