FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

A friend of the owner popped in with his girlfriend for a cup of tea and catch up one Saturday. We were trying on new stock and asked if she would mind helping us....she jumped at the chance and joked "Its my only opportunity as Im never getting married". Little did she know that her partner was organising a surprise engagement and wedding in Santorini. When we tried her in one dress she cried (we knew we had found the "one") we measured it (to check it was as it should be being new and all :-) We organised the alterations and our owner flew to Santorini and surprised her with the dress and accessories on her wedding day - It was magical!

What about your business are you most proud of?

We are now serving the 3rd generation of our 1976 brides - its magical having a past bride come back with her daughter or grand daughter!

Be strong with your guest lists - Its YOUR day and everyone else can have theirs the way they want it.

A garter was worn by one of our brides with a photograph of her grandmother on it - the garter was originally hers.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We will send out a pre appointment info form to get a feel for the wedding and the brides style ahead of her 1.5 hour appointment. Every bride is different and the choice of styles is huge, through trying on and feedback we narrow down the brides preferences to find the perfect gown.

The look on a brides face when she finds "the one" - the emotion in the store is infectious, we often have the tissue out :-)
