Bridal Icon Wendy Makin Announces Retirement After 45 Remarkable Years

After an extraordinary 45-year career shaping the global bridal landscape — including 33 years at the helm of her eponymous, multi award-winning label — Wendy Makin has announced her retirement, set for September this year.


A true industry pioneer, Wendy’s legacy is one of timeless design, uncompromising quality, and a deep commitment to brides across the world. Her influence has been felt across generations of retailers and brides alike, cementing her name as one of the most respected figures in international bridal fashion.


We’re thrilled to share that Wendy Makin’s Ready-to-Wear and French Collection lines will continue to have a presence in the UK under the trusted stewardship of Libby and James from Yes Bridal Studio, who will remain as her exclusive agents.


James says, "We’re so happy that Wendy and her husband Geoff will soon be enjoying some well-earned time together in retirement. At the same time, we’re proud to share that we’ll be taking the helm of the Wendy Makin collections—not just in the UK, but across all markets—alongside a highly talented UK-based design team with a wealth of experience, who have worked alongside Wendy’s brand for the past 10 years.

Please rest assured that Wendy Makin UK will be continuing as normal for ordering and day to day enquiries, we are always available via, email, telephone or messaging so if you have any questions at all please do contact us."

For existing brides, please be assured that Wendy and her expert team will continue to support fittings and alterations as scheduled.


Let’s celebrate Wendy’s remarkable contribution to the bridal industry as we wish her and husband Geoff, all the happiness in their next chapter.
