The Seams
We're Melissa and Liam, husband and wife to be 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.

"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.

"The whole experience was just perfect."
I honestly couldn't recommend Feathers and Florence enough! After being let down by a different bridal boutique with only 1 month to go until my Wedding, Feathers and Florence saved the day!
From the moment I arrived until the moment I left with the dress Mel was just so amazing. After being really stressed and worried about finding a dress, Mel made me and my family feel so comfortable and relaxed. I honestly can't thank Liam and Mel enough for saving the day! The whole experience was just perfect.
