Our Story
The day the sign got put up!
Hey,
I’m Nicole - the founder of The Corner Atelier. Opening a bridal boutique has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. But it wasn’t until planning my own wedding in 2022, alongside some of my best friends, that the dream truly started. Through my own experiences and hearing their stories - some magical, some a little more stressful - I realise how much more this experience could be.
Planning a wedding should be one of the most joyful times in your life, but the process can often be overwhelming. That’s why I created The Corner Atelier - to bring back the magic, the calm, and the personal touch that every bride deserves. I envisioned a modern, pressure-free, and community lead space where brides could feel completely themselves. No frills or fuss - just beautiful, contemporary bridalwear in a space that feels relaxed and calm.
As a recent bride myself, I know firsthand how nerve-wracking and emotional this journey can be. My priority is making every appointment an experience to remember - relaxed, personal, and filled with joy. Whether you arrive with a Pinterest board and a plan, or no idea where to start, I’m here to support you in finding a gown that makes your heart sing.
With love,
Nicole x
The Shop
At The Corner Atelier, we offer a curated mix of modern gowns from designers around the world, as well as a range of pre-loved pieces for the style-conscious, sustainability-minded bride. Our mission is simple: to make your dress journey unforgettable - relaxed, joyful, and entirely you.
Our space is stylish, calm, and laid-back. No pressure - just thoughtful guidance and an edit of gowns to suit you. We understand how overwhelming the process can be and have done everything in our power to avoid that!
We celebrate individuality, great design, and the magic of finding the dress - whether it’s during your first fitting or at one of our community events.
More than just a dress shop, we’re building a bridal community - one that’s personal, inclusive, and genuinely exciting to be part of.
We can’t wait to meet you!
