Ritva Westenius

It has been 30 years since Ritva Westenius got ‘hitched’ to Connaught Village. Numerous awards and a reputation as one of London’s most fashionable bridal gown destinations, has seen the timeless boutique become a cornerstone for the traditional and classic in wedding dresses and accessories.

It is a family-run business. Chenca Williams can be found running the flagship store whose attention to detail is most notable - hardly surprising as a former principal ballerina with the Royal Ballet, she is adept at never putting a foot wrong!

In her 30th year, Ritva continues to design the dresses that adorn this charming couture boutique. All gowns are of the latest French and Italian fabrics, silks and lace. With knowledge of the latest fashion trends, Ritva Westenius bridal team can adapt and create that individual look for the big day - let that journey down the aisle begin here.
