IanStuart-Blewcoat

IanStuart-Blewcoat 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

he building is Listed grade I. Built to house a charity school founded in 1688 by the Green family of local brewers, on a site known as 'Tothill Fields' then owned by Westminster Abbey. The School educated and clothed twenty boys from the parishes of St. Margaret and St. John for free alongside fee-paying boys. The School remained in use until 1954 when it was acquired by the National Trust. It takes its name from the distinctive uniforms the pupils wore, and a statue of a Blewcoat charity boy still stands above the doorway serving as a poignant reminder of how this building became a haven of hope to so many children. In 2013 Ian Stuart was granted permission to refurbish the interior to house his bridal gowns, special occasion wear & evening gown collections.

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.
