Who are we?
Penny Phillips
The inspiration for starting Your Little Secret followed my own personal, less than impressive, experience of trying to find a wedding dress for my eldest daughter Gemma’s wedding In 2011; as a result I created Your Little Secret to ensure that every bride that comes to us has an enjoyable, relaxing and memorable experience.
I began dating my husband Gareth in 1981 and married 8 years later in 1989. Having been married for over 34 years, with 3 children and five Grandchildren, I strongly believe in the sanctity of marriage (and romance of course !!!!) and was thrilled when Gemma married in 2011 and I was able to help plan and organise her wedding with her.
My own mantra during the run up to the wedding was ‘stress free’ and this is what we want for all our customers. A stress-free, wonderful experience.
A wedding should be one of the most special events in your life and we want to ensure that the whole process of buying your dress, often the focal point of any wedding, is a joyful and relaxed experience and one to savour. As a customer you need to be confident that you are buying from a reputable trusted seller, who you know only stocks excellent quality.
Enter………………… ‘Your Little Secret’!
We sell designer wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses, flower girl dresses, prom dresses and mother of the bride outfits and accessories, plus preloved designer wedding dresses on behalf of our clients from our lovely little boutique in the picturesque town of Hindhead Surrey and via our website. We are also stockists of Romantica of Devon, Kenneth Winston, Bianco Evento, Richard Designs and Twilight Designs.
Our boutique is open daily on an ‘Appointment Only’ basis to ensure that we can provide each of our customers a personalised one-to-one experience where they can browse and try on our dresses at their leisure and decide if the dress is the dress of their dreams.
We want to be able to give our brides-to-be not only the same boutique experience they would receive if buying a bespoke gown, but also the opportunity to buy a high-end, designer gown that they may not normally be able to afford. We also feel that it is important to be available at your convenience, so we are available for appointments not only during the day but evenings and weekends too.
All of our dresses are carefully chosen and we pride ourselves on the condition and quality of all of our gowns. All dresses are immediately available, so we will also be able to help you if you are in a situation where you need a dress at short notice or in an emergency.
More and more people are now hoping to sell their gown after their special day, but we felt that it was very difficult to find anyone who specialises in helping you to do this. It is our experience that many individuals who try to sell on eBay or social media sites struggle, and find that if they are able to sell their dress, that they do not achieve the price that they may wish.
Your Little Secret exists because we want you to have an amazing experience, and find the dress of your dreams at the price of your dreams and whether your dress is new, ex-sample or pre-loved, no one will ever know …. it’s ‘Your Little Secret’.
