The Wedding Dress…
Your wedding dress is the most important dress you will ever wear. It may only be worn once, but its the dress that you will create a lifetime of memories in!

Your wedding dress represents your entrance to the world as a Mrs and your finale as a Miss. Above all, we want you to love not just the dress itself, but the journey too!

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!

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.

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!
