About Occasions

Elena, founder of Occasions Bridal

Welcome

Hello, I'm Elena

Welcome to my new independent bridal studio in Southampton, Hampshire.

Every detail of the bridal studio has been thoughtfully designed to create a relaxed and intimate atmosphere — the perfect setting for choosing your dream dress. Inside, you'll discover my handpicked selection of gowns, bringing some of the world's most renowned brands right to your doorstep.

I offer private consultations for yourself and two guests. Once you have selected your dream dress, alterations are carried out by me in-house. With over 40 years of experience, I ensure every dress is altered to look as though it were made just for you. We are a one-stop shop for saying "YES", as we always offer a full range of accessories and dresses for the extended bridal party.

About Elena

The Art of Finding
the One

From the very first moment a bride walks through my door, I begin to understand her shape, height, movement, and confidence. These subtle details guide me in making suggestions to help her find the one.

When I work with my brides, it isn't a conscious effort; it's second nature. There's nothing quite like the magical moment when a bride finds her dress. The room falls silent, emotions take over, and sometimes, tears are shed. Often, my brides say, "Can I really look this good?"

"That feeling is priceless — no amount of money can buy it."
