Spaced out! New bridal rooms at Elderberry Brides.

11th December 2011

Announcing brand new, spacious fitting rooms for our brides

More rooms. More comfort. More enjoyable.

We really hope our brides will be as excited as we are with the recent completion of a project to increase the size of our premises creating a number of new areas specifically for our customers.

Elderberry Brides has spent the last few months fitting out the first floor of our building at New Street in Basingstoke. The renovation is now complete and we're delighted that the initial response from our customers has been very positive indeed.

For our brides, this means that there's now a new bridal room, a new couture bridal room and a new area exclusively for bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids and flower girls.

Here's a glimpse of each of the bridal rooms which are now open to customers.

The Couture Room

Only one appointment is allowed at a time in the couture room so every bride is guaranteed her own exclusive space for herself and her bridal party.
