Rachel Scott Couture marks 20 year anniversary with launch of new designer eveningwear boutique

Fashion fans set to flock to the official open weekend to shop new collections from Vivienne Westwood, Temperley London and Suzanne Neville

Good news for fashion fans – the award-winning Rachel Scott Couture is marking its 20th anniversary with an exciting expansion.

The new boutique will feature a carefully curated selection of eveningwear, bespoke jewellery and accessories from top designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Temperley London and Suzanne Neville, and Scottish style enthusiasts can get an exclusive first look from tomorrow – Thursday 1st February.

Located in the heart of the Scottish capital on Edinburgh’s Queensferry Street, fashion aficionados can book a private appointment at the boutique from Thursday 1st February.

Alternatively, fashionistas can drop in and browse the full collection without an appointment during the open weekend on Saturday 3rd – Sunday 4th February. Here, they can take full advantage of the launch offers which include 20% off all Rachel Scott bespoke jewellery and a £250 discount on Rachel Scott bespoke jewellery pieces with any dress purchase. 

The new premises will showcase a range of colourful cocktails dresses, beautiful black tie gowns and the finest couture formalwear, as well as handcrafted headwear and jewellery for any occasion.

Designer names include Vivienne Westwood whose exclusive made-to-order collection will be available for the very first time in Scotland at Rachel Scott Couture.

What’s more, the new made-to-order eveningwear collection from celebrity favourite Suzanne Neville will also be available for the first time in Scotland at Rachel Scott Couture.

Speaking ahead of the launch, boutique owner Rachel Snedden explains the benefits of buying made-to-order pieces; “Fit is such a huge issue for many people when buying ‘off-the-rack’ clothing, and even more so when shopping online.

“Now imagine you can have something made to your exact measurements and specifications, for example – you don’t like the neckline, the colour, or you don’t want to have to worry about a bra – we can change it and have it made the way you really want it!”

As well as offering this made-to-order service, the new Rachel Scott Couture boutique will also provide the same exceptional level of expertise and personal attention that has resulted in the couture experts winning an impressive collection of accolades and awards throughout their 20 years in business.

Edinburgh brides can enjoy an exclusive evening of fizz and fashion with designer Alice Temperley MBE

Award-winning bridal boutique, Rachel Scott Couture, welcomes British fashion icon to Scotland for first time

Her designs have graced the likes of HRH Princess of Wales, Beyoncé and Madonna. Her accolades include the title of English Print Designer of the Year and Best Young Designer of the Year.

Vogue magazine described her as “Making the biggest waves in British fashion”. And in 2011 she earned an MBE for her services to the fashion industry.

Today, Alice Temperley MBE is one of the UK’s most revered fashion designers, and this month Scotland will welcome her for the first time as the award-winning bridal boutique, Rachel Scott Couture, hosts an exclusive evening in her honour.

The Temperley London trunk show will then be available to view by private appointment at Rachel Scott Couture, Friday 28th – Sunday 30th April.

Speaking ahead of ‘An Evening with Alice Temperley’, owner of Rachel Scott Couture, Rachel Snedden, reveals; “I am so excited to welcome designer Alice Temperley to Scotland for the first time.

“I have long been a fan of her designs – each one beautifully sculptural, intricately detailed, and uniquely romantic – everything a bride longs for in a dress.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be able to provide Edinburgh brides with this rare and exciting opportunity to see the dresses up close and to actually talk to the iconic designer responsible for creating them.”

‘An Evening with Alice Temperley’ will take place at Rachel Scott Couture, 29b Dundas Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6QQ, on Thursday 27th April 2023, 6-8pm.
