Our Story

NUPT Bridal specialises in bridal wear for the unconventional and modern bride. Our designs reflect our commitment to excellent quality, perfect fit, and unique design elements. We offer bespoke bridal creations as well as made-to order wedding gowns that are part of our Oceana and Alpha collections. Each gown is made by hand, from start to finish, in our studio in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Martja, our owner and designer is a qualified fashion designer with extensive experience in both bridal design and fashion retail. Her love for design and garment construction results in an end product that is both beautiful and fits perfectly.

Our team’s hope and desire is to impact women’s lives during a very significant and exciting period in their lives. We believe the journey of finding the ‘right’ dress can also be part of the more meaningful journey of preparing for marriage. That is why we have created an intimate and relaxed studio environment and experience for our brides. Expect to feel right at home in our space.

Why NUPT? Derived form the word Nuptial which relates to marriage or weddings. We chose this name, as we believe in the design of marriage. We stand for the covenant type of love that marriage was designed to display. It is a sacrificial, humble and servant-hearted kind of love.

We just can’t wait to meet you and come alongside you in this journey!

Much love,

The NUPT team
