Meet the Oast Bridal Team | Kent’s Family-Run Bridal Boutique
The Heart Behind Every Bridal Experience
At Oast Bridal, we believe every bride deserves a personal, uplifting experience when finding the dress of her dreams. Our family-run boutique at The Kent Wedding Centre in Paddock Wood, Kent, is led by a passionate team who bring skill, creativity, and care to every appointment.
From your very first visit, our friendly consultants and in-house seamstress ensure your time with us is calm, enjoyable, and centred entirely on you.
Penny Kerry – Bridal Department Manager
If you have a question, Penny will have the answer. As Oast Bridal’s Department Manager and qualified seamstress, she oversees every detail of the bridal department and personally trains each consultant to deliver the highest standards of care and expertise.
With years of hands-on experience, Penny understands how every gown can be customised to achieve the perfect fit. Her background as a wedding coordinator at our partner venue, Shires Oast, gives her unique insight into how your dress will complement your full wedding day. Brides often praise her calm guidance and honest, reassuring advice that helps turn uncertainty into excitement.
Sophie Kerry – Bridal Consultant
Sophie brings warmth, creativity, and style to every appointment. With a special expertise in Mother of the Bride and Groom attire and bespoke occasion wear, Sophie loves helping clients explore our wide range of outfits and accessories, including handmade hats and headpieces.
Known for her friendly and relaxed approach, Sophie makes every bride feel comfortable and confident, whether trying on her first gown or finalising her look. She believes each appointment should feel like a celebration, not a sales process, and her passion for fashion shines through in everything she does.
Evie Kerry – Administrative Assistant
Behind every seamless appointment and perfectly steamed gown is Evie. As our behind-the-scenes guru, she manages orders, organises appointments, and ensures every detail runs smoothly. Her care and attention mean our boutique always feels calm and perfectly prepared for each new visit.
Evie’s efficiency and eye for presentation help make Oast Bridal’s setting as beautiful and welcoming as the dresses themselves.
James Kerry – Director
James brings a wealth of experience from across the Kent wedding industry. Having worked in events and wedding services since completing his education, he plays an important role in shaping Oast Bridal’s vision as part of our wider family of wedding businesses.
His insight into everything from venue coordination to entertainment allows Oast Bridal to offer a truly connected experience for couples who choose The Kent Wedding Centre and Shires Oast. James is passionate about ensuring every bride receives not just a dress, but an unforgettable experience that fits seamlessly into her day.
