Amore Brides Canterbury highlights their favorite PEN·LIV gowns in a dreamy styled shoot

We’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on one of our wonderful stockists, Amore Brides Canterbury. Known for their welcoming boutique atmosphere and exceptional bridal expertise, Amore Brides has been helping brides-to-be in Kent, England find their dream wedding dress for years.

Their team shares a true passion for bridal fashion, offering a carefully curated selection of gowns that make every bride feel confident, beautiful, and celebrated. In this feature, they’ve shared some of their favorite dresses from our collection, and we couldn’t be more excited to hear what they love most about our brand.

Who are Amore Brides?

"Amore Brides are the largest bridal boutique in Kent with over 300 designer wedding gowns and bespoke accessories. Amore Brides is a boutique dedicated to celebrating love stories through unforgettable bridal experiences. We believe every bride deserves not just a gown, but a journey that feels personal, joyful, and empowering.
Our team is passionate about curating a collection of gowns that balance modern trends with timeless romance, offering something for every style of bride. More than anything, we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming space where brides feel seen, celebrated, and supported as they find the dress that makes them feel their most beautiful."

What was your inspiration for this beautiful photoshoot?

"Our inspiration came from wanting to capture the essence of romance and individuality that our brides bring to their big day. We wanted the shoot to feel timeless yet modern, with an editorial edge that really allowed the gowns to shine in their own unique way. The goal was to create a visual story that celebrated love, confidence, and the artistry of bridal design.
Behind the scenes, it was just as special! Choosing the perfect location of Goodnestone Park, styling with the perfect beauty look and accessories that echo the grandeur, working with light and natural textures to let each dress shine. And of course, collaborating with other amazing suppliers. There’s something so beautiful about bringing together people who each add their own touch of magic. When all that comes together, you don’t just see beautiful gowns, you see stories, moments and dreams perfectly captured."

What made you choose to include the DAENERIS & CHARLEAN dresses in your shoot?

"The DAENERIS and CHARLEAN gowns each embody such different but equally captivating bridal styles. DAENERIS is bold, dramatic, and full of personality, perfect for the bride who wants to make a statement. CHARLEAN, on the other hand, is effortlessly elegant and romantic, with a softness that speaks to classic bridal beauty. Together, they showcased the range and versatility PEN•LIV offers, and we knew they would photograph beautifully.
Goodnestone Park is an award-winning venue known for its classic elegance of a bygone era, visited by Jane Austen. The PEN•LIV 2026 collection celebrates so many brides and styles but in particular visits an era of bustled skirts and low drop waists, expressing elegance and truly fitting the venue. The model looked like she owned the house!"

What makes PEN•LIV a go-to brand for your store?

"PEN•LIV is a go-to brand because of its perfect balance between modern design and timeless elegance. The quality of the fabrics, the attention to detail, and the flattering silhouettes make it easy for us to recommend the gowns with confidence. Our brides consistently love how PEN•LIV dresses make them feel sophisticated, stylish, and completely themselves."

What was a particularly memorable or special moment that occurred with you and a PEN•LIV bride?

"One of our brides fell in love with her PEN•LIV gown the moment she slipped it on, she instantly started to tear up and said, 'This is the one I didn’t even know I was looking for.' Watching her confidence and excitement grow in that moment was unforgettable. It reminded us why we do what we do, helping brides feel truly themselves on their most special day."

"DAENERIS will always be a favourite for its powerful, fashion-forward presence, it’s for the bride who wants to command attention. CHARLEAN is another favourite for its dreamy romanticism and how effortlessly beautiful it makes a bride feel. We also adore some of the newer PEN•LIV designs that push creative boundaries while still being wearable; they truly show the brand’s innovative spirit."
