Catherine’s Bridal
Wedding dress shopping with a conscience
At a time when the cost of
living is pinching our wallets,
and shopping sustainably is
increasingly popular, a new
wedding dress shop has opened
at the perfect time.
In the heart of Horsham’s town centre,
Catherine’s Bridal opened in February and sells
a huge array of pre-loved wedding dresses and
occasion wear at incredible prices, starting from
just £100 for stunning gowns.
Catherine’s Bridal is situated within
St Catherine’s Hospice’s new flagship store, in
Horsham’s Carfax, one of the charity’s 14 shops
across West Sussex and Surrey.
The new central location of Catherine’s Bridal
is perfect for attracting brides-to-be to find
‘the dress’. The new larger store, which was
previously located in Horsham’s Bishopric, has
given new life to the unit that was once the
town’s Post Office, making it much more visible
for passers-by.
The shop has made a showstopping feature of
its Catherine’s Bridal section. The wedding area
has its own look and feel with a large changing
room, helping brides to have the space they
need to find their perfect dress.
There are styles to suit every bride, including
vintage, ball gown, cocktail, classic and corsets,
and all of them are better for the environment and
better for your bank balance!
The new store sells a large selection of occasion
wear – ideal for mothers-of-the-bride, flower girls,
page boys, bridesmaids and wedding guests. For
the all-important accessories, the shop sells a large
range of hats, fascinators, shoes and bags, to put
the finishing touches to any outfit.
With prom season just around the corner
Catherine’s Bridal is also a great place for students
to purchase a beautiful, affordable and sustainable
black-tie dress with prices starting from £10!
All the money raised through Catherine’s Bridal
helps St Catherine’s to care for around 2,000
people every year who are living with a terminal
illness in West Sussex and East Surrey. The charity
provides expert care and support in its hospice in
Crawley, in people’s own homes or in care homes.
Eight in ten people cared for by St Catherine’s are
supported in the comfort of their own home.
