The Seams
We're Melissa and Liam, husband and wife and the founders of Feathers and Florence bridal studio.
Our founding mission was to introduce an inspiring and refreshing bridal boutique to Preston, Lancashire.
However, our commitment extends beyond providing a bridal experience that you can forever treasure. Our ultimate mission is to empower underprivileged women, fostering strength, confidence, and success comparable to the transformative moment of wearing a wedding dress and uniting with your partner. To actively contribute to this cause, we pledge to donate a year's supply of period products with every dress purchased at Feathers & Florence. This initiative aims to eliminate barriers to education, opportunities, and choices that women might face due to financial constraints on essential hygiene products.
Hearts
We love delicate florals, you know the type that gently bounce and wiggle in the breeze.
But, really our hearts are fuelled by the thought of empowering women and helping them to discover their Taylor Swift confidence, where they feel sassy enough to walk down the aisle thinking 'no wonder my partner put a ring on it!'. That's why we were born to be in an industry surrounded by females.
Our style is inspired by outrageously beautiful architecture discovered on European city breaks. Our curation of bridal style exudes sophistication and dainty details, similar to the reclaimed 17th century Parisian chapel chandelier we tried to purchase on eBay after our trip to Paris, before we realised that the import and taxes would blow our budget.

Have you ever been out with a group of wonderfully lively personalities and you just end up feeling like the quiet, reserved one? The energy of the room can sometimes feel a little overwhelming, when in reality, you simply need the right setting to feel entirely yourself.
Our studio has been thoughtfully designed as a calm and considered space, where you can relax, feel at ease, and let your own personality take centre stage. A place to share the experience with those closest to you, creating beautiful memories together while feeling completely supported throughout.

"They even donate a percentage of each dress to period poverty."
From the moment I booked the appointment, the whole experience was flawless. You have the whole place to yourself and Melissa makes you feel so at ease yet excited about the whole experience.

Having researched online I immediately had a good impression. When I sent a message to say I’d booked an appointment, the response I received was so warm and friendly so I just knew it was going to be a lovely experience.

"So patient,
so thoughtful & so visionary"
I really don't know where to start to say thank you. From the minute we walked into the gorgeous studio we knew we were somewhere special.
Melissa your no pressure approach put everyone at ease and your selection of dresses, well, just fantastic. Every dress could have been the one but with your vision of combining two dresses you nailed it, just perfection.
From the bottom of my heart in being so patient, so thoughtful & so visionary thank you.

"We didn't feel rushed or pressured."
Feathers and Florence was the most incredible experience! Prior to my appointment, Liam communicated with me and informed me what to bring, what to expect and he made me feel comfortable and excited.
We genuinely felt like royalty! Melissa was so kind and accommodating. I chose the most amazing, beautiful dress and I also chose one of the beautiful handmade veils as well which completed my bridal look. We didn't feel rushed or pressured.
