Beatrice Espinosa Bridal

Beatrice Espinosa Bridal was founded in 2015 by Beatrice Espinosa, who designs and makes every dress herself. She studied theatre design at Wimbledon College of Arts, took a short pattern cutting course at London College of Fashion, and spent ten years working freelance in professional theatre on set and costume before opening her own business.

Her studio is in Bentley, Hampshire, on the Surrey and Hampshire border, a short drive from Farnham and Alton. It is a working studio reached by a staircase, with free parking, and all appointments and fittings take place there. Clients also come from Guildford, Winchester, Southampton and London.

“Every client that walks into my studio is valued and special and is guaranteed the level of service that only a small Atelier can give”

Beatrice Espinosa, designer and founder

Clients work directly with Beatrice rather than with a design team. A bespoke dress is drawn, toiled in calico, made from scratch in the fabrics the client chooses and finished with traditional couture sewing, hand beading and embroidery. Beatrice also offers a small silk collection that can be tried on and ordered in the client's size.

The work favours natural silks, laces and deadstock fabric from established UK suppliers, with each design made to order rather than mass produced. Beatrice also makes bespoke veils, detachable sleeves, capes and jackets, bridesmaids' dresses and occasionwear, and alters wedding dresses in house, so a full bridal look can be completed in one studio.

I will be recommending Beatrice to everyone!

I will be recommending Beatrice to everyone! She is incredibly friendly and skilled, pays close attention to detail, and clearly knows exactly what she's talking about! She responds quickly and can be flexible when needed, which I have really appreciated. It has been such a great experience having my wedding dress altered by Beatrice who has perfected some really tricky adjustments with such care and patience. She has also made great recommendations throughout and it is clear how much she cares about her work. Thank you again, Beatrice!

The best experience

The best experience Beatrice made me a beautiful silk taffeta powder blue below the knee wedding dress very suitable for a second time bride turning 60. Beatrice is great to work with turning my initial idea into a design. She is an amazing designer who made the dress within the timescale at a totally acceptable price. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and adored my dress. Thank you Beatrice

My dream wedding dress

Bea designed and created my dream wedding dress. I went to Bea with a vision, and she made it come to life. She was patient and listened to all of my ideas and concerns - nothing was too much, and I am so pleased that I trusted the process. Bea drew up several options and provided so many samples for me to choose from. She even hand-sewed the lace onto my veil and included the date in hand embroidery. I felt very looked after in the process and couldn’t have asked for anyone better to make my dress. Bea also made my five bridesmaids' dresses in gold sequins. They all had different designs, and they looked stunning. Bea dressed me on the day, and it was so special to have her there. Thank you, Be,a for everything x
