Our story

Welcome to BRI|DHA®

We are thrilled to have you here, and we can’t wait to help you find your dream wedding dress. As a family-owned luxury bridal store in Greater Manchester, we’ve been dressing dreams for over 30 years. Our passion is to provide the most perfect bridal experience for every bride that walks through our doors.

Our store has a special story behind it. We were formerly known as Bliss Bridal Bolton and were led by our dear father for 17 years. Unfortunately, our father passed away during the COVID-19 Pandemic in November 2021, leaving a huge gap in our hearts and the Bliss Bridal story. To honour his legacy, we renamed our store as BRIDHA in January 2023, using his initials as a symbol of recognition for generations to come.

We want to run our store with the same values that our father held dear – honesty and integrity in everything we do. His inspiring quotes such as “Enjoy, Have Fun, Be Happy Always” and “Your world is in your heart and in your mind it is how you think and how you feel” will always guide us.

So, when you step into our store, know that we are not just another bridal shop. We’re a family that’s committed to making your bridal experience unforgettable. Let us help you find the dress of your dreams, and we’ll be here every step of the way.

1990

Bliss Bridal Centre established its presence in Bolton town centre, offering brides-to-be an unforgettable shopping experience. With a team of dedicated and passionate staff, the Bliss Bridal Centre quickly became a staple in the Bolton community, a symbol of elegance and luxury for all those in search of their dream wedding dress.

1999

Bliss Bridal Centre underwent a significant change when it moved to its current premises at 178 St Georges Road. This new location provided a larger space for the bridal store to showcase its extensive collection of stunning wedding gowns.

2004

When our father was looking for a property to invest in, he discovered 178 St Georges Road. This property laid the foundation for a journey beyond his wildest dreams.
As the father of four daughters and a son, he knew that he had assembled the perfect team to take over the business one day.

2006

Bliss Bridal Centre transformed into Bliss Bridal Bolton, ushering in a new chapter for the store, infused with a fresh perspective. Our father held an unwavering commitment to his business, dedicating 17 years to its success. During his tenure, the store established itself as the premier destination for bridal gowns, with brides traveling from all corners of the country to discover their dream dress.

2021

It was with great sadness that we lost our father during the COVID-19 Pandemic in November 2021. As a family, we were devastated by his passing, but we knew that we had to carry on his legacy. We were determined to honour his memory by continuing to provide brides with the same exceptional service that he had always provided. With a renewed sense of purpose, we decided to rebrand the store as BRIDHA, incorporating our father’s initials into the name as a tribute to him and the new beginning we were embarking on.

2023

Bliss Bridal Bolton has transformed into BRIDHA, marking the beginning of a new era in luxury bridal experiences. As the UK’s first-ever experience-led bridal store, BRIDHA is dedicated to providing brides with the most unforgettable experience when selecting their dream dress.
