There’s a new kid on the block. At 92 Upland Road Kelburn, to be exact. But perhaps “kid” isn’t the right word. Elegant lady is probably slightly more accurate. For at the above mentioned address lies Wellington’s newest chic bridal boutique Paperswan Bride, owned and operated by Jennifer Barnett. Jennifer has worked for well renowned designer Stewart Parvin in the UK, who is famous for having dressed the royal family amongst other things. Jennifer learnt from the cream of the crop, and now she’s back in NZ to wow the bridal market here. And she’s certainly made quite an impact so far, with everyone who has seen her collections “ooh-ing and ahh-ing” about the glamour, style and elegance.

Kelsey Genna, Stewart Parvin, Paloma Blanca, Mikaella and La Sposa wedding dresses feature in this stunning boutique, nestled in the tranquil and stylish Kelburn village. We guarantee you will be hard pressed to pick out a favourite! The collection offers brides beautiful silks and romantic laces plus accessories galore.

Customer service is paramount here. When you arrive for your appointment you will be warmly greeted, with the aim to make your experience as enjoyable and relaxing as possible. However, you are definitely still allowed to be as excited as you like! Tea and coffee will be flowing, and Jennifer and her team will have a chat with you about your wedding plans and inspirations.
