April Banbury is one of the most exciting names in British bridal design right now — and at Romsey Bridal Boutique, we are delighted to be one of only a handful of bridal boutiques in Hampshire to stock her debut collection. Whether you are travelling from Southampton, Winchester, Eastleigh, the New Forest, or further afield, a visit to try these gowns is genuinely worth making the journey for.
April is a London-based designer who graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fashion Design before spending over a decade working as a bridal stylist and seamstress, creating bespoke gowns for celebrities, beauty queens, and high-profile clients. That combination of couture training and hands-on bridal experience is evident in every gown she designs.
Her debut collection, Nova Belle, blends timeless elegance with a distinctive contemporary edge. Luxurious fabrics — Chantilly lace, embroidered and corded lace, jacquard — and handmade 3D floral details combine to create gowns that feel genuinely special. April’s own experience with back problems led her to make comfort a genuine priority, using lightweight breathable fabrics and seamless construction. The collection runs up to a size 32 and features interchangeable design elements, making each gown adaptable to each bride’s own vision.
We’ve been dressing brides across Hampshire for over 20 years and we hand-pick every collection we carry with care. Stock is limited — we hold only a select number of April Banbury styles in the boutique at any one time — so we’d encourage you to book your appointment sooner rather than later. Find out more about our boutique and team, or get in touch if you have a question before booking.
