Calling all brides-to-be out there looking to save a penny or two! The new Octavia Foundation Bridal pop-up boutique shop in London could be just the place. Opening on 18th October (until 31st October) the shop will be located on the stylish Brompton Road. With recent donations from a number of local boutiques and outlets, the pop-up boutique will stock brand new never-worn gowns, samples and pre-loved wedding dresses, as well as a selection of one-off vintage ensembles. The boutique will also stock a wide range of wedding shoes, accessories, bridal jewellery, pretty bridesmaids’ frocks and brand new fabulous venue decorations such as fabric bunting, paper pom poms and lanterns and bird cages.
Jenni Heavingham, Head of Shops at The Octavia Foundation says: “We have received thousands of pounds worth of designer dresses from local boutiques, as well as many pre-loved and vintage dresses. With used dresses starting at £40 and brand new, never-worn gowns retailing at prices up to £500, it’s a great opportunity for London brides to get their hands on a real bargain and support our work in the process." The Octavia Foundation is a fantastic, local, community-based charity that works in west and central London supporting local people during times of personal difficulty or crisis. I will definitely be popping down for a peek!
