Watters
Many moons ago a light went off in the mind of Vatana Watters. She’d been designing one-off dresses for herself, as well as friends and family – who came up empty handed when looking for dresses that didn’t feel cookie-cutter. So Vatana took a vow (ha), to take matters into her own hands.
Fast forward to now. The Watters family has become a creative tribe of designers, pattern makers and seamstresses. Their focus – know fashion, pick up on trends and understand how your wants and needs evolve. Drama, comfort, style, versatility and individuality.

Who are Watters?

How much do Watters wedding dresses cost?
At Angelica Bridal, Watters made-to-order gowns generally range from £1,800 to £2,800. Call us or send us an email, quoting the dress number, if you would like further details about a specific gown.
How long do Watters gowns take to arrive?
Made-to-order Watters gowns often take around 5 to 6 months to arrive once your order is placed. We always recommend starting your dress search at least 9 to 12 months before your wedding to allow plenty of time for the gown to arrive and for alterations. If your wedding is sooner, please get in touch, and we can discuss rush options or guide you towards a sample gown you can take home on the day.
What style of bride does Watters suit?
Watters is wonderfully broad in style, which is one of the reasons we love stocking the brand. The main Watters line suits brides drawn to elegant, fashion-led silhouettes with luxurious detailing, including drop-waist gowns, sleek sheaths, and dramatic ballgowns. Willowby by Watters is perfect for the bohemian, free-spirited bride, and By Watters is ideal for brides looking for a chic short dress for their ceremony or celebrations around it. Our stylists will help you explore the full range during your appointment.
Can Watters gowns be customised?
Many Watters gowns offer customisation options, such as adding or removing sleeves, adjusting necklines, or choosing different colourways like ivory, latte, or nude. Availability varies by style, so the best way to find out what is possible for your favourite gown is to ask your stylist during your appointment. Watters also offers a beautiful range of accessories, including veils, capes, and overskirts, that are crafted using the same fabrics as their gowns for a perfectly matched finish.
