Closing the Chapter on Hannah Elizabeth Bridal

“Sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful”

Over the last 10, incredible years, we’ve shared so much love and joy here at Hannah Elizabeth Bridal, with our gorgeous HEB brides, their friends and loving families. There’s not been a day where we haven’t been beaming from ear-to-ear celebrating the profound excitement each bride has for their big day, the love they have for their other half, and of course, their beautiful wedding dresses! 

It has been an honour to play such a special and poignant role in each and every one of their wedding journeys and we truly couldn’t have made it this far without the love and support all of our amazing brides have given us, and not to mention, the lifelong industry friends we’ve made along the way.

Decisions like these are never easy, and this is by far the boldest and hardest decision I have ever made. But, as my business has successfully grown, evolved and added over 10 candles to its birthday cake, naturally, so have I; both as a person and a mother to my two beautiful children. With difficult lessons such as life being short being learnt through extremely upsetting and challenging personal circumstances, it leads me to the decision that I will eventually be saying goodbye to this chapter in my life and closing the doors of Hannah Elizabeth Bridal in the late autumn of this year. 

Whilst I am incredibly sad that I will be closing my bridal boutique doors, I feel it is time to embrace my little family, allowing myself the space, time and dedication to move forward with my own personal story. As our brides step into their next chapter as a Mrs, I too will be stepping into mine.

When will you be closing?

We have reached out to all our existing HEB lovelies to inform them that all dress orders are safe and all dresses will be delivered to our boutique as normal. Each of our brides will return to HEB to celebrate the monumental moment when your dress arrives, with all the excitement still filling the air! While the bridal boutique may be closing, we can assure you that your journey is still just as important to us, won’t be tainted in any way, and will remain as special as ever.

Can I still purchase a dress at Hannah Elizabeth Bridal?

We want our last interactions as a small business to remain full-of-love, so if you’re a bride-to-be spying on our dress in our bridal boutique, you will technically have until 30th June to do so. However, please note that we will be selling sample dresses ONLY throughout June, so if you wish to order your dress in new, this will need to be completed before 31st May.

Will you be having a sale?

Our Final Closing Chapter Sale where absolutely everything must go will officially commence from 1st June until the 30th June, where everything must go! With over 60 dreamy dresses and a huge selection of accessories all ready to purchase and be taken away the same day – perfect for the last-minute bride or brides looking for a bargain!

If your dream sample dress isn’t in your size, let us know and we’ll inform you whether it can be altered to fit your beautiful body, as there’s always an abundance of room for amendments with each dress.

In addition to our gorgeous gowns, we have exquisite accessories available that will begin at £30, so this truly is an incredible opportunity if you’re on a budget but still crave the luxe finishing touches when it comes to your wedding attire!

While this decision has been the hardest to make, we want to leave each of our brides with a loving last impression. If you’ve been obsessing over the dress of your dreams on our website, please do not hesitate to get in touch to make your first bridal appointment for May, or a sample sale appointment for May or June. 

Lastly, we want to take this opportunity to say one final huge thank you to every single person who has walked through our doors, making our experience in the wedding industry as positive as it has been. I will look back at this time with delight and pride and remember the joy, laughter, the happy tears, the hugs and the celebrations, and while we will miss them, we will be left with the fondest of memories.

I will never forget this monumental chapter which has been my life for over a decade and I will cherish the beautiful friendships made with our brides and industry friends over the years.

Lastly, the biggest thank you to our boutique manager, and forever friend Kelly, who has played such a huge and lasting role in our story at HEB. We’re sure those who have been blessed to have had Kelly as part of your wedding journey, will know just how much of a special human she is!

With love and light always,

Hannah, and of course, our wonderful Kelly xo
