Island Boutique
If you are not a local, the island might sound a long way away, but our bridal shop is in the perfect location to make a real day-out of your wedding dress appointment.
From London, travel is an enjoyable day trip. It takes just 2 hours from Waterloo station by train, via the closest ferry port of Portsmouth, or you can drive to Southsea, park easily and fly over on a hovercraft in 10 mins. The Forget me Not Designs boutique is then a 5 minute stroll up the hill past unique shops and wine bars.*
Our bespoke service and very competitive rural prices bring brides to our doors from all parts of the UK for our award winning customer service.
We keep the current wedding dresses from all of the Forget me Not collections, in our store in Ryde. However, if a journey to the beautiful Isle of Wight is just too far to contemplate, you can find samples of our designs in a handpicked selection of first-class bridal stores around the country.

*Alternative routes to the Island are via Southampton to the Historic Sailing town of Cowes or Lymington to Yarmouth if you are coming from the South West.
