The Mews Bridal brings a distinctively French sensibility to its lovely corner of London. Founded and run by mother-and-daughter Gail and Lauren, the label operates from a serene Notting Hill studio steps from Portobello Road, where brides discover an exclusive selection of leading French fashion designers, each chosen for craft, personality and an ineffable je ne sais quoi. The Mews’ roster includes all of the stalwarts of French bridal: Laure de Sagazan’s heirloom silhouettes; Caroline Takvorian’s couture-inflected beading; Mademoiselle de Guise’s chic femininity; Lambert Creations’ timeless elegance; A La Robe’s refined minimalism; Victoire Vermeulen’s free-spirited designs; Donatelle Godart’s vintage romance; and Uni Paris’ avant-garde approach. Accessories are exclusively provided by bijoux brand Paviot Créateur, with veils and accessories on hand to complement key looks. Appointments are intimate and considered: arrive to bubbles and herb-infused water, spend an hour with a single one-to-one stylist and return for a follow-up fitting, all included in your booking. Once a year, designers travel to London for exclusive studio days – a rare chance to discuss bespoke options in person. For brides seeking to browse a curated edit of couture gowns that emphasise ease, detail and timelessness, The Mews is an essential destination.
I cannot recommend The Mews Bridal enough! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how chic and lovely the space was – elegant, calm, and thoughtfully curated. The entire vibe made the dress-shopping experience feel truly special. The team at The Mews Bridal were absolutely incredible. They were so helpful, kind, and genuinely excited to help me find my dress. They listened to what I was looking for, offered suggestions, and never once made me feel rushed or pressured. Thanks to them, I found my dream dress – and it was even more perfect than I imagined. The Mews Bridal accommodated me and welcomed my mother-in-law back for another try-on appointment so she could be a part of the process; they made it feel so easy and natural. Each appointment / fitting was smooth, enjoyable, and stress free. I felt amazing and so confident every step of the way. The care, attention to detail, and warmth from the entire team made this such a beautiful experience. If you’re looking for a bridal shop that blends style, comfort, and heartfelt service, The Mews Bridal is it.

I absolutely loved the experience of buying my wedding dress at The Mews! Beautiful selection of dresses. If you love the chic, ethereal beauty and flowy simplicity of French wedding dresses this is your place! The shop is beautiful (and smells gorgeously of Diptyque), and such a tranquil and serene environment. The staff are so warm and friendly, they looked after me so well (bubbles!) and really made me feel relaxed and comfortable – and never under any pressure at all. It wasn’t a process I was confident going into, and I didn’t expect it to be nearly as easy and enjoyable as it was! The stylists were fantastic – so supportive, and with her help I found my perfect dress very quickly. I literally couldn’t have been happier with it – so flowy and comfortable, light, airy and beautiful! And so unusual – I had lots of compliments. And my husband loved it too. Strongly recommend!
