Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Kate
Hi there, So I eat, sleep and dream all things weddings dress! I know that makes me slightly bonkers but hopefully it helps you at a key moment in your life. Not to sound cheesy but I really do love what I do, the whole shop exists because it didn't when I got married. I'm curvy, believe me when I say I get it. I have wobbly bits that need controlling and mainly shop online! Shopping is scary at the best of times let alone for something so important. I promise to hold your hand through it...

The best experience
I came to Kate’s alongside my sister and mum. I was anxious being a plus size bride. I was quite open to dresses but sort of knew what I wanted. Kate and Maxine selected a range of dresses. I loved them all. As I was open to different styles, they chose one that was totally different to what I imagined I would wear. At first when I saw it I was not keen, as soon as I put it on I knew it was the one. Without their help I would never have got my dream dress. I was made to feel so comfortable, it was simply the best experience choosing my dream dress. I can not recommend Kate’s enough.

I went dress shopping with an absolute fear of the whole experience but after 5 minutes with Kate and Maxine every worry I had melted away! Even prior to the experience I got a lovely email trying to calm my worries, I even walked away with my dream dress! Thank you so much ❤️ I loved every second!

Turned what I thought was going to be an awful experience, into one I’ll never forget!
As a plus size woman, the thought of going and trying on wedding dresses in front of a bunch of strangers honestly filled me with dread. I went to my first appointment with Kate’s feeling nervous but was immediately put at ease. Kate and the team made me feel so comfortable, confident and beautiful, which was the first time I’d done so in a very long time! I went back to Kate’s two more times after that first visit and came away with my dream dress. Turns out my ‘dream dress’ was nothing like I thought it was going to be, I thought I wanted to cover my arms as I’m so self conscious about them, but Kate brought me my dress and I instantly knew it was the one. I cried when I looked in the mirror because I never thought I’d be able to wear something with my arms on show and feel so good about myself! It might sound dramatic, but I mean it when I say that Kate and the team honestly changed my life for the better. It had been a long time since I felt as beautiful as they made me feel and it’s given me a new sense of confidence that I can’t wait to take into my wedding day! Thankyou so so much - if you’re like me and nervous about the process, go to Kate’s Bridal Room, I promise your worries will be put to rest and you’ll have the most amazing experience.

Incredible experience
After being initially apprehensive and reluctant to go wedding dress shopping I relented to my mum's recommendation and booked an appointment at Kates. I had very vague ideas of what I liked, and examples of dresses which were vastly differing to one another. Kate listened to my many ideas and had patience and knowledge for which dresses I might like. I felt comfortable enough to tell her when dresses weren't quite right and she knew straight away when it was right. Kate seemed to know I was saying yes to the dress before I realised. I left without purchasing on that first day and didn't feel any pressure to commit to a dress and Kate was just as brilliant months later when I went back to buy it. I couldn't recommend her enough, it felt like shopping with a friend.

The Best Experience
I had already bought my dress online as I felt self conscious going to try on dresses, being plus size. I had heard about Curves@Kates bridal and attended their wonderful fashion show. I booked an appointment the next day, the staff were amazingly helpful and felt wonderful trying on dresses. As I didn't have a vision of what I wanted with having a destination wedding, I tried on a range of different dresses. The store was closed just for us, it was unique and just the best experience. I cannot recommend this bridal store enough!

Frequently Asked Questions
(10)

What is your most memorable wedding?

Um mine, obviously! Would be awful if I said someone elses! Though Katie Price in that huge pink dress is pretty memorable. Ha!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Comfort is key! Comfy Comfy Comfy Casual oh and Pyjamas, I know that's not an adjective I used to a teacher but its definitely a style I enjoy!

What about your business are you most proud of?

Wow where to start? My reviews really make me smile, sometimes even cry - happy tears of course.

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

Forget about what everyone else wants, it's not about whose paying or who shouts the loudest. It's about two people getting married. Do what you both want even if that does mean a mixture of themes or forgetting a 'tradition'! Deadpool meets Harry Potter is fine if it makes you happy! Or a cake made of cheese....mmmmm! Just remember your photos are around long after the day is a distant memory.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Charity favours personal to the couple

Describe your typical process with a couple.

It's all about the bride and getting to know her and the wedding being planned! Then after that finding the perfect dress with an added touch of fun and laughter (usually at Kate or mums expense).

What do you love most about your job?

Meeting so many amazing people from a variety of backgrounds. Plus trying the wedding dresses on, I'm not even ashamed to admit it!

What is your favourite style of wedding dress?

At the minute I love the art deco and vintage styles around but it changes week to week. Anything with good structure really!

What is the best way to incorporate "Something Blue" into the wedding outfit?

That would be telling...all our brides leave with their something blue!

What is your favourite wedding dress of all time?

If you asked me when I was 8 I would have said Lady Diana's because of that train. Now I know raw silk is just a pain in the bum so I would have to say I have my eye on one in the shop....
