A letter to the future Sposabella bride…

Hello, my name is Amy and I’m the owner of Sposabella. It’s lovely to meet you and congratulations on your engagement.
I can’t wait to help you find your perfect wedding dress. But first a little bit about myself.

When I was a little girl I received a beautiful blank sketch book and I filled its pages with drawings of dresses and different outfits. I had a wild imagination and before I could start any adventure I had to have a clear idea of what my ‘character’ was wearing, and I could only move on to the adventure once I let the outfit idea into the world by drawing it. This is where my love for fashion started.

I completed my fashion and business degree cum laude from the University of Pretoria in 2016. While studying, I worked at a bridal boutique on the weekends where I really learnt the ins and outs of the different fabrics, styles and silhouettes that wedding dresses come in. After graduation, I gained valuable experience in the fashion industry working as a buyer for a number of years.

Towards the end of 2019, the opportunity arose for me to buy Sposabella. I could not let this opportunity pass and jumped at it. After spending two months travelling up and down from the Natal Midlands I moved down to Umhlanga. I have settled in well, and have even started surfing!

At Sposabella we want to help turn our bride’s dreams into reality. You have already found ‘The One’, now it is up to us to help you find the perfect dress. We are the exclusive KZN stockists of Enzoani Beautiful Collection and Sincerity by Justin Alexander.

See you soon

Hear what our brides have to say about us…

I have to say out of all the boutiques (and there are tons) Sposabella was the only one that made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and most importantly- just like a bride! Being able to reach out have them help and guide. The entire experience was unforgettable and the dress. Dreams were made because of you ladies! Thank you!

The best place I have been for a fitting! Everything a bride needs to feel like a princess! So much effort put into an appointment even if it is only 30 minutes! You do not feel rushed and somehow get through all the dresses. By far the nicest place to go.

I am super delighted to share a positive experience with shop assistant Donelle, not only was she attentive, but she kept me up to speed with anything and everything I needed to know. She was calm and professional, which allowed me to try and selection of dresses, and within minutes, no jokes - like 15 max - we found the magic one! I am so happy with my dress and wish any bride to check in with Sposabella as they were the BEST out of all the shops I went to. Even with previous bridesmaid duty shopping experiences. Sposabella stood out with service and fittings.

What wonderful and special ladies at Sposabella! Thank you so so much for all that you did for me! You made feel like a real princess 🙂 I am so so grateful that I found my dream dress with you! What an amazing and wonderful experience it all was, I absolutely loved it all! Such lovely ambience, but most of all, the most incredible ladies that run it! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you did for me, I will never forget it! Xxx

Such a lovely place to buy your dream wedding dress. The moment I stepped into Sposabella I found my dream dress. Donelle was so so sweet and helpful with every question I had. She looked after my dress and made sure it was perfect for my wedding day. I would recommend Sposabella for any lady getting married who needs a beautiful wedding gown. Thanks again for all your help Donelle.
