Bridal Dreams Reimagined: Finding the Pre-Loved Dress Meant for You at Papermill Bridal
Our team had the pleasure of visiting newly launched and independently ran: Papermill Bridal. The very inspirational brand owner Emily had a vision. With the huge rise in pre-loved popularity but lack of an extra special 5 star service while shopping for sustainably sourced dresses, Emily wanted to give brides a memorable ‘try on’ shopping experience and still let the bride share this with their loved ones.
