We’re Claire and Mel — best friends, “surrogate sisters,” and the proud founders of Wedding Belles of Four Oaks, our gorgeous Midlands bridal boutique that’s been helping brides find the one for 18 incredible years!
We’ve been inseparable for over 25 years (and counting!) … through our own weddings, the arrivals of our beautiful children Megan, Charlotte, Harry & Joshua, and every giggle, challenge, and glass of fizz in between. Having no sisters of our own, we became family to each other and that sense of love, loyalty, and laughter is at the heart of everything we do.
Our friendship has shaped not just the way we run our business, but the amazing team we’ve built. The bond we share filters through our whole boutique, creating a supportive, fun, and genuinely caring atmosphere that our brides instantly feel.
At Wedding Belles, it’s all about connection. We believe that finding your dream dress should be filled with joy, emotion, and plenty of happy tears — shared with your favourite people and guided by a team who truly care. We can’t wait to welcome you into our bridal family and help you create a magical “I’ve found The One!” moment you’ll never forget.
