The Lavender & Jude story

Hello

My name is Claire and I am the founder and owner of Lavender & Jude. My bridal boutique’s something of a one woman endeavour that I established back in 2004 in the Suffolk village of Stradbroke.

A career in retail has seen me working at Harvey Nichols, Ralph Lauren and British designer Betty Jackson, dressing every type of body. My styling experience spans over 36 years, the past 19 of which have been happily spent dressing brides.

Nothing brings me more joy than dressing brides-to-be and making them feel and look their best. Just magical!

Now situated in the gorgeous Suffolk town of Southwold perfectly positioned for Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Hertfordshire brides-to-be. I have created an exclusive space that is both inviting and tranquil, designed to put you at ease.

I truly look forward to welcoming you to my little shop and helping you become a Lavender & Jude bride to be.
