Testimonials

  • Lovely staff, all very helpful and friendly. Staff know their dresses and you can just explain a style and they pick out the exact dress. Fantastic range of dresses and loved the overall experience. My mum bought her wedding dress from here in 1991 and then my nan bought her dress from here in 1993 and now I get to buy my dress from here too!

    Emily
  • My appointment was everything I had hoped for. I felt celebrated and special, as well as comfortable and well looked after.

    Hannah
  • The selection of dresses were varied, even for me as a plus size bride, and it goes without saying that they are gorgeous!

    Georgia
  • Fantastic staff, so friendly, they give advice and make you feel incredible in yourself

    Megan
  • I had the best day yesterday! It was my second time coming back to the shop, the ladies were amazing and got me to try on a dress that I wasn’t even thinking of, turns out the staff knew my style better than me!!

    Steph
  • Best experience of my life. The staff were so amazing and welcoming and honestly couldn’t do enough to help me find my dream dress which I did!

    Jordanna Hughes
  • Lovely, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Even though I’m on the bigger side they had lots of dresses for me to try on. Lena was my consultant and she was fab! Knew the stock well and what sort of dresses would flatter my shape.

    Tracey
  • No words explain how amazing Michelle made me feel about my body when trying on the dresses as I’m very body conscious. She made me feel beautiful in the dresses and we had so much fun and laughter!
    I came here 4 years ago with my sister , and know I will return in the future with my little girl when it is her turn

    Hannah Briggs
  • The Southampton store had so much choice to pick from. The dresses are beautiful and the assistants are really helpful in narrowing down the style of dress to suit you!

    Grace Newman
  • I can’t thank Gemma enough for giving us the most wonderful experience. Her professionalism, wisdom, patience and understanding know no bounds. All of the dresses are beautiful!

    Charly Callaghan
  • This is a great shop – such a lovely, warm, welcoming environment from the moment I walked through the door. The staff are fantastic, loads of experience and nothing is too much trouble. Really impressed with the choice of dresses too!
