About Us

Your Partners in Finding the Perfect Dress

At CB Bridal Studio, we’re more than a bridal boutique — we’re your personal partners in the search for the dress.

We understand how important your wedding gown is. It’s more than just fabric and thread — it’s the centrepiece of your big day, setting the tone and style for everything that follows. Finding “the one” isn’t something that should be left to chance — it takes choice, expertise, and a little magic. That’s where we come in.

Located in the heart of Petts Wood, CB Bridal Studio welcomes brides from across Kent, South London, Orpington, and beyond. Whether you’re looking for a classic wedding dress, a bespoke bridal gown, or something truly unique, we’re here to make the process effortless, enjoyable, and unforgettable.

Meet Clare – Studio Owner, Designer & Bridal PT

With a background in fashion and design, Clare Backley has been styling brides since she was 16. After gaining hands-on experience with top bridal designers and running her family’s award-winning bridal store, Bellamore, for over two decades, Clare launched CB Bridal Studio and introduced her very own in-house line — Clareabella.

Clare’s mission is simple: to provide a truly personal bridal experience. She offers expert styling, heartfelt guidance, and honest advice in a modern bridal space that’s elegant, welcoming, and deeply service-led. With her extensive knowledge, she ensures every bride feels confident, beautiful, and completely herself, every step of the way.

“This is more than just a dress appointment. It’s a curated, guided journey to help you feel sensational in the gown you’ve always dreamed of.” — Clare

The Clareabella Collection

Exclusive to CB Bridal Studio

At the heart of CB Bridal Studio is the Clareabella Collection — our exclusive, in-house bridal range that represents everything we stand for: individuality, quality, and heartfelt service.

No two brides are the same — so why should your dress be? With Clareabella, you’re not just choosing a dress — you’re experiencing a design journey, supported by expert craftsmanship, tailored fit, and Clare’s signature personal touch.

Now available exclusively at CB Bridal Studio, Clareabella continues to evolve with each bride who walks through our doors — because real brides are our greatest inspiration.

The CB Bridal Experience

At CB Bridal Studio, we believe your bridal journey should be just as special as the dress itself. That’s why we offer a personal, full-service experience designed around you — from your first visit to your final fitting.

Our studio is a calm, welcoming space where you’ll receive Clare’s undivided attention during a one-to-one appointment. We’ll take the time to understand your style, listen to your ideas, and hand-select a range of gowns that reflect your vision, including a few unexpected choices that just might surprise you.

From custom bridal gowns crafted to your exact measurements to a curated selection of bridesmaid and prom dresses, elegant accessories, and expert fitting services, everything you need is under one roof. We’re here to support you every step of the way, offering honest advice and warm guidance in a relaxed, private setting.

This is more than dress shopping — it’s a moment to remember.
