“Most importantly is how Hannah & Tania will make you feel....they are truly gods gift to plus size bridalwear and I’ve never felt more beautiful”
oh, hey there!
Lush Curve was a dream born from a dream! Boutique owner Hannah started BRIDE by Aster in 2018 and once this dream had become an established and well known Surrey destination for fun and frivolous bridal appointments, she wanted to make sure that her curvy brides were catered for in the same way she likes to look after everyone! In 2019 she began to expand her collection to become more size inclusive and by 2020, the LUSH CURVE dream was born! With a few bumps in the road, C-19 being a big one, it was decided that we would wait until 2021 to officially launch a brand new, all singing all dancing, varied, modern and beautiful collection of 25 exquisite plus size wedding dresses within the Dorking boutique before launching our very own PLUS SIZE BRIDAL SHOP IN SURREY……and so our story begins……..
Hi, I’m Hannah! I absolutely love what I do and love seeing brides fall in love with themselves over and over again when they find ‘the dress’! But prior to 2018, I had never worked in the bridalwear industry at all. I had a lot of experience with weddings and events as I started my career in the events industry in 2010 after finishing university. I worked my way up from a wedding co-ordinator at a beautiful venue in Surrey to head of events, group sales manager and then finally moved into London to work on private events and catering around Mayfair, Fulham and Knightsbridge. Needless to say, it really didn’t work for me and I decided to find a way out of the big smoke and into a little piece of heaven…..and here we are!
