THE AISLE IS CALLING…

Born from a vision The Aisle’s founder Katie had back in 2018, Yorkshire bridal boutique The Aisle not only endeavours to bring brides a completely unique and  memorable shopping experience, but an experience that sartorially seduces even  the most trend-conscious bride.

Playing host to a carefully curated selection of  international designers (including the likes of Made With Love, Jane Hill, Alena Leena, Hera Couture, Trish Peng, , Grace Loves Lace, Divine Atelier, Aston Bridal and more,  The Aisle is making waves across the country in a stunning, spacious, naturally lit studio - from Sheffield to Manchester,  Leeds and way beyond. 

THE SPACE.

Enveloped in the bustling heart of Skipton’s Craven Court shopping centre, The Aisle’s Yorkshire bridal shop not only delivers all of the signature elements it’s known and  loved for (that laid back experience, a sleek interior you’ll instantly want to capture  for the gram and - of course - that truly unforgettable service) but all are now delivered from the beauty of our spacious and comfortable studio. Once an old mill, still holding all the character and charm left inside with its wooden floors and overhead beams, when you set foot through our doors you’ll realise that Craven Court (and  its incredible, character-laced architecture) makes for the perfect location for our  Yorkshire bridal studio.

EXPERIENCE.

Meticulously designed around the cool, contemporary taste of the modern, fashion-forward bride, The Aisle experience is like no other.

Completely personal to  each and every bride who visits, you’ll love how our laid back, luxury vibe  envelopes you in a welcoming embrace the minute you arrive. After browsing our  designer-stocked rails in the showroom, you’ll be escorted upstairs by your own  exclusive stylist to an individual fitting room guests in-tow. And, with brides travelling from the likes of Leeds,  Manchester, Sheffield and beyond, Our team are ready and waiting to make  your bridal experience truly worthy of all those travelled miles. 

P.S. Before booking, make sure to take a quick browse through The Aisle’s curated  selection of modern bridal designers. We don’t do traditional, but we do bring that  cool, endlessly coveted, trend-led vibe to Yorkshire very well.

AWARDS.

Here at The Aisle we’re incredibly proud to have not only won the Ilkley Business Best Customer Service Award of the Year (voted for by past brides) but honoured to have walked away with the 2022 Bridal Buyer Retailer of the Year in England Award too. Dubbed ‘the Oscars of the bridal industry’, the Bridal Buyer Awards are attended by a multitude of bridal retailers, designers and press, and to be nominated for two of these awards is something we’re eternally proud of.

THE AISLE’S FOUNDER


With a background in fashion, it wasn’t long before The Aisle’s founder and director Katie Brewer found her calling in the bridal industry.

With a broad understanding of the construction of dresses, the way in which they’re made, alterations and, of course, how to clip and pin brides in properly, it wasn’t long before her love for the industry and a failed attempt to find her own vision of a trend-led, modern wedding dress propelled her to the concept of The Aisle. This experience, coupled with her expertise has provided Katie with the tools to deliver The Aisle’s revered bridal experience and curated selection of cool, contemporary bridal designers to Yorkshire and miles beyond.
