Ian Stuart's flagship store The Blewcoat. A beautiful building housing the award winning designers wedding dresses, mother of the bride and evening wear.
Erected in 1709, The Blewcoat is built of red and yellow brick with rubbed brick and stone dressings. At each corner Doric pilasters rise from the ground, supporting entablatures. Inside lies a single handsome pine-panelled room with a light, airy coved ceiling (with a basement beneath). Since 1974 this room was enriched with a large grey and gilt-work chandelier from Bruerne Abbey, Oxfordshire. T
To All of our fabulous Blewcoat clients
We would like to wish you a wonderful festive season and a very happy New Year.
With love and best wishes
Ian, Carrelyn & Charlotte # # #

This Blewcoat bride knows exactly what she wants in life!
Danni spotted Mardi Gras in a magazine and knew it was the one. She tried on three other designs, but her mind was made up. And we can see why. She looked an absolute dream for her and Dan’s beautiful Santorini wedding.

This photo is priceless to us!
Carole and Sue are two Blewcoat clients who both wore Ian Stuart for the same wedding - in their respective roles as Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom.
It goes without saying that they looked incredible and did The Blewcoat team proud.
