The shop had a very relaxed, welcoming feel to it. Emma who helped me choose my dream dress was so lovely, friendly and new exactly what she was doing. Im just over the moon with it. Thankyou so much x

So glad I visited!
Bride to be was the first shop I visited and I'm so glad it was. As soon as you walk in the atmosphere is lovely and welcoming. Emma (Em) helped me and straight away knew what dresses to put me in. The first one I and my team absolutely loved but we carried on to be sure. Nothing was too much trouble and the guidance and reassurance put me completely at ease. Having tried on a good range of dresses we all knew dress number one was THE dress. I wanted to be sure so we agreed to go and have some food to think it over. There was no pressure from anyone at all and it was appreciated this was a big decision. Needless to say later on we returned and said yes to the dress! The team were all excited for me and clearly truly care about their clients. As Emma was in appointments she kindly introduced me to Dawn and Stephanie who let me step into my dress one last time before my measurements and order went in. I honestly can't thank the team enough. I was a little daunted going in but they make the experience wonderful and very special. Thank you so much ladies!

A massive thank you!
Just like to say a massive thank you to Emma who helped me along with my mum chose the perfect dress. Emma was very patient with me trying on lots of dresses that were all beautiful and finding the right dress for me which went on and off 5 times and giving great advice along with it when choosing such a big part of your day! I can't wait to see my own dress at the end of May. Many thanks again Tara ❤️

What is your most memorable wedding?

We love a Royal wedding! Everything in the shop stops, bubbles are poured out and staff and customers alike gather around the television to watch the royal wedding unfold!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Modern, fun, passionate, happy, professional

What about your business are you most proud of?

Our beautiful store and our massively experienced staff - oh and our stunning dresses *sigh*!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

start at least one year before and keep calm - it's YOUR day, so have what you want, not what your besties and your Aunty want - what YOU want!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

The bride books an appointment with the store after looking at our website www.bridetobe.co.uk. When you have chosen your dress, you pay 50% as a deposit and the dress gets made. (this typically takes approx 5 months) Once the dress has arrived into store, you come in and try your special gown on!! You then pay the other 50%. An appointment is made with our in store fitting team and your dress will be altered to ensure a perfect fit (this is an extra charge).
