Our Story
Oast Bridal was inspired by a love for craftsmanship, community, and complete wedding experiences. The name celebrates our location amongst the largest collection of Victorian oast houses in the world, a setting rich in Kentish heritage.
After years of experience in the wedding industry, our family felt it was time to expand and open a boutique that could provide brides with something truly special. By bringing together our knowledge of bridalwear, venue coordination, and local partnerships, Oast Bridal was born - a place where every element of your wedding journey connects seamlessly.
From our first fittings to final celebrations at our neighbouring venue, Shires Oast, we take pride in offering an experience that feels relaxed, memorable, and beautifully personal.
Our Values and Vision
At Oast Bridal, everything begins with care. We believe choosing a wedding dress should be joyful, inclusive, and stress-free. Our philosophy centres on:
✓ Warm, personal service – We welcome every bride into a calm and supportive environment.
✓ Inclusivity and choice – Our collections cater for all styles, sizes, and budgets.
✓ Quality and creativity – We partner with designers who share our values and passion for craftsmanship.
✓ Community and connection – As part of The Kent Wedding Centre, we champion local suppliers and love being part of the region’s vibrant wedding community.
We are continually evolving our range to reflect the latest trends from bridal fashion weeks, while remaining true to the timeless romance that defines our boutique.
A Family-Run Boutique with Heart
Our appointments are led by a close-knit family team who share a genuine passion for helping every bride feel incredible. Mother and daughter duo Penny and Sophie Kerry bring together expertise in design, fitting, and styling, with the guidance and care that make our boutique feel like home.
From hand-sewn alterations to custom details, our team understands what is possible with each gown and loves bringing every vision to life.
