Lydia Renty, the lady behind the brand, is a stylish woman who loves fashion and truly appreciates the quality, beauty and creation of wedding gowns.

Lydia graduated as a professional dressmaker in 1999. She began working as a freelance dressmaker in West London in 2004 working from home. Her interest in bridal wear all started in

 2009, the year after Lydia moved from London to Somerset with her family, when she began working from her home studio, designing and making gowns and dresses for customers in the surrounding area and advertising in the local press.

The Lydia Couture brand was born in 2011 and has been recognised as a brand of excellence ever since. Lydia has built her business from the start through care of her customers and the pursuit of style and elegance in all her designs.

She opened her first store in Bristol 2014 and started selling her own collection, and attracted many brides, mother of the brides and bridesmaids who travelled from a distance to buy their dresses from her store.

In 2017 Lydia had to make the tough decision to close her store to allow her more time to focus on her designing and develop her business. By following this path Lydia has been able to achieve recognition as a couture designer in the bridal industry, in order to supply to bridal boutiques thoughout the UK. Lydia currently has two bridal collections and we are now a wholesale supplier.

She now has a good and reliable manufacturer who meticulously makes her samples from her original design sample, in order that she can supply her dresses at a competative price to the retailers.

One of my favourite parts of the process is getting to work with unique clients to design their personal dress.

It is a great joy to have the opportunity to meet some amazing brides who chose my service to be a part of their big day!

I cherish the fact that each of my brides are different in their own way and so I take the time to listen to each of my customers to understand what they are looking for and use my skills and knowledge to meet their needs.

It has been a pleasure choosing my wedding dress, kind and pfofessionalserive Will reccomend to all my friends.

So helpful and kind. Lydia couldn't do more for me!! Made buying and choosing my dress so easy. Would highly recommend her to any one. The dress was perfect and fitted like a glove! Shame I don't need another dress as I would definitely use Lydia again!!!

Jo Marshall

I've been amazed by the service and how everyone went out of their way to find the perfect dress for my day, especially at such short notice! I was so relived they could do the alterations on time too. Can't wait to wear my dress on the big day!

Nicola Hannah

I would highly recommend Lydia Couture! The customer service was amazing and Lydia went out of her way to make sure my dress was perfect. Some alterations done by a member of staff were not quite correct, so Lydia stayed late and done them herself to ensure it was right. My dress was gorgeous and of a high quality. Wonderful service from start to finish.

As a larger woman, I was a bit nervous about getting fitted but everyone at Lydia's was very understanding and made me feel confident about myself. My dress is amazing, very comfortable! I will be recommending Lydia's to everyone I know (who's getting married!).

Thank you ladies.
