Located in the charming market town of Petersfield, Hampshire, Twirl Bridal offers an exquisite collection of vintage inspired long and tea length bridal gowns. We also offer occasion wear for wedding guests, and evening dresses for maids, prom girls or other special events.

 
 

We are just a two minute walk from Petersfield train station, making us extremely accessible by car or public transport.

Specialist in vintage inspired tea length wedding dresses by True Bride and LouLou, also featuring Louise Bentley, Lois Wild, Rita Mae and Freda Bennet . Many can be customised and you can also try on some of our lovely accessories to match. We stock sizes 10 - 24 in the shop, but gowns can usually be ordered in both smaller and larger sizes. Longer gowns are available for those who want a more traditional look.

When you visit the shop, you will be welcomed with a refreshment, ready to enjoy a relaxed, friendly and fun appointment. A few of your friends and family are welcome to come with you, as their opinions will help to guide you through. Choose who knows you the best and who will enjoy the experience the most!

Your appointment can last up to two hours, trying on beautiful dresses with our undivided attention. Prom, maids, evening wear and wedding guest appointments usually take about an hour. All you need to do to secure your appointment, is get in touch. We’d love to hear from you and we are here to answer any of your questions. It is best to book your appointment at least 6 months ahead of your wedding, but such an important purchase is better planned early, maybe just after you have chosen the venue, then you can relax, in the knowledge that the dress will be ready in plenty of time. However, if there is a last-minute requirement, we have samples available to purchase and suppliers can offer rush cuts at an additional cost.

Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to check out our promotions and sale dates! Our aim is to have happy customers, who will feel simply amazing on their big day, whatever the event.

 

About the owner

It all started when…

I went looking for a wedding dress for my October 2017 wedding. A friend recommended Twirl Bridal Boutique to me and that’s where I bought it. It was so much nicer than the larger stores. A much more personal service and so relaxed. I thought on that day that it would be a happy job to do. I had been considering a change of direction for some time after working in the same job for 20 years. I started looking for businesses and a few months later I found out this lovely shop was up for sale! I could not wait to get on the phone to make enquiries and so, in July 2018, I bought the shop and took over as the new owner.

It was easy to slip into my new role and I have already grown to love this shop and the people who visit! I have created a modern boutique feel but have kept a vintage style, to complement the gorgeous dresses.

It is never difficult to be friendly with excited brides and a no pressure approach is how I always work. I hope that all of you who choose to visit enjoy your time as much as I enjoy meeting and helping you all.

AND NOW…

nearly five years on and this job is amazing! Loving the shop, the customers, the town, the local traders and the whole wedding vibe! What a journey so far, with pandemic closures, and adapting to support the customers.. Still here and smiling! You can always be assured you will feel safe, relaxed and enjoy your visit to Twirl.
