Designer Sanyukta Shrestha Wins ‘Wedding Boutique of the Year 2026’

LONDON, UK — 20th May 2026 — Leading Nepalese-born British designer Sanyukta Shrestha has taken home the coveted title of Wedding Boutique of the Year at the London Wedding Awards 2026, marking a decade and a half of pioneering eco-luxury in the British fashion capital.

Driven by a combination of public bride votes and industry evaluations, the accolade arrives as a timely validation for the British-Nepalese couturier.

Recognised by the media as the “Greta of the Wedding World,” Shrestha launched her eco-friendly brand in 2011—long before environmental ethics entered the mass luxury lexicon. Today, she remains an industry trailblazer, celebrated as the first designer of Nepali origin to have a bridal creation permanently preserved in the historic Fashion Museum collection alongside over 100,000 objects dating back to the 16th century.

Far from a one-off victory, this title joins a long legacy of excellence. Since opening her doors, Shrestha’s brand has consistently secured major accolades and industry awards each year, driven by annual nominations from experts and enthusiastic public votes from her brides. The latest award highlights a broader cultural shift within the UK’s £10 billion wedding sector. As high-fashion houses increasingly face scrutiny over supply chain ethics, Shrestha’s flagship boutique operates as a definitive blueprint for zero-waste design, circular luxury, and social responsibility.

Reflecting on the milestone, Sanyukta Shrestha, Creative Director, released a statement focusing on the craftsmanship and community behind the brand:

“I am a designer by intellect and an artist by heart, but bringing a bride’s vision to life is the true destination of my craft. Our London boutique has always been intended as a sanctuary for the conscious, eco-minded bride.

Over the past 15 years, our brand has thrived through the unwavering trust of our brides and the incredible sisterhood of female founders who lead this compassionate industry. I dedicate this honour to our brides, our dedicated team, and the visionary editors who have championed ‘Beauty with a Conscience’ since its inception. This achievement is a shared celebration of our collective journey.”

The recognition follows Shrestha’s recent London Fashion Week showcase, which documented the brand’s direct ethical impact in the Himalayas. Her collections are handcrafted using organic, innovative vegan fibres by marginalised women artisans in Nepal—95% of whom are women receiving fair wages and independence.

Securing UK’s premier boutique honour reinforces Sanyukta Shrestha’s ability to merge high-fashion innovation with deeply personalised, compassionate service—offering a proven blueprint for the the future of sustainable luxury retail.
