It’s not often that a bridal wear shop blows you away, but that was the case this week when I was asked to photograph the interiors of ‘Nell’Amore Bridal Consultancy’, a new boutique business in Halstead, Essex.

The period building has been home to some amazing businesses over the years and really is the jewel in the bustling Halstead high street.  Owner Lauren Jeffs has recently opened up the doors on this exquisitely-styled bridal wear house, keeping all the period features and building on it with her own personal touch.

Lauren, who has previously worked for one of the leading bridal shops in Colchester is now looking to put her own stamp on the industry, setting her sights on both the local and national scene.  With a warm and welcoming approach, exclusive personal appointments as standard and a mind-blowing customer experience, you really need to take a visit if you are looking for that perfect dress.

Lauren can be contacted directly through Nell’Amore’s stunning website.
