Jennifer Pritchard Bridal Design has announced that the company is relocating premises to new state-of-the-art luxury bridal rooms and design studios at the Storey Creative Industry Centre, Meeting House Lane, Lancaster.

The move is part of the company’s strategy to focus on providing individually made couture gowns, a new manufactured bridal fashion label, made to measure day and evening wear, as well as being a dynamic hub for design seminars and fashion shows.

Owner Jennifer Pritchard said: “This is a very exciting time. Our business has enjoyed a high street presence on Common Street in Lancaster for the last six years. However, the new premises will provide the company with greater scope to innovate and implement new design ideas, whilst maintaining a high level of personal service.

“Storey’s is a perfect location for our business. Whilst we will continue our retail business on a smaller scale, we will be concentrating on offering a bespoke individual bridal design service, strongly driven by the Jennifer Pritchard reputation for excellence and imagination built up during the last 14 years. In addition, we will also have the facilities and space to design and manufacture a new label, which will be stocked at selective UK wedding boutiques.”

Jennifer’s dynamic business strategy will see her new premises hosting a number of fashion shows and events in the in-house auditorium, as well as being used to teach fashion design and garment construction.

The company move will take place at the end of March, although the retail shop on Common Garden Street will continue to operate as normal and take retail orders until the relocation.

Jennifer Pritchard Bridal Design is pleased to launch it’s online sample store. Featuring beautiful sample gowns at amazingly low prices, this new, easy to use website allows brides to view all our sale gowns. Whilst we love to see brides in person at our Lancaster bridal rooms, we appreciate that the convenience of online shopping for brides who live further afield.

Lancaster Morecambe Etc Guide Book

In the spring of 2009, a small group of local retailers including Jennifer Pritchard Bridal Design undertook the task of producing a non-profit making guide book for Lancaster and Morecambe.

Aimed at the style conscious, the guide presents a listing of the unique and cool; from independent retailers, boutique hotels to vibrant bars and restaurants. The guide also cover’s a wide range of great places to visit and things to do.

The 84 page guidebook has been devised by Simon Couchman, Creative Director at Preston based design and PR agency, ICG. Since moving to the area from London six years ago, after meeting his now-wife, Jennifer Pritchard, he has edited, designed and taken many of the photos seen in the guidebook. “We love city breaks and buying city guides. I then realised that our own region had equally fantastic independent stores, fabulous bars and amazing places to visit – so why not create our own city guide for a style conscious traveller?”

The guide is even gaining support from local designer and entrepreneur Wayne Hemingway MBE. “For too long we have ignored the wonderful serendipity of our independent retailers. I am one of a growing army who abhor standardization an=d the fact our towns and cities morphing into “clone towns” Lets celebrate entrepreneurial spirit , niche retailing , quirky spirit and independence. This is one great, modern and much needed publication.”
