New boutique on the block

Linda Quayle spent 25 years in the bridal business as a manager and rep before taking the decision to open her own boutique and do things her own way. Beau Brides in Bexley opened its doors earlier this year and is very much a family affair, with Linda’s 16 year-old granddaughter helping out on Saturdays. 

White Rose, English Rose, Millie May, Millie Grace, Jessie K by Trés Chic and Elyse Couture are among the designers the boutique stocks. Alternatively, if you’re looking to customise your gown, you’re in safe hands; a design service is offered, and Linda’s seamstress also works for Burberry. What’s more, there’s a fabulous range of bridesmaid dresses, mother-of-the-bride outfits and Tiffany prom dresses.
