In the bride’s words

I had such a wonderful experience finding my wedding dress! Connie made the whole process so enjoyable and stress-free. There is a beautiful selection of dresses to choose from, and having all the alterations done in-house made everything so convenient. The care, attention to detail and service were fantastic from start to finish. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would highly recommend Connie to any bride-to-be! ❤️

In the bride’s words

Finding the perfect wedding dress is no easy task, But from the very beginning, Connie never made me feel like my vision was out of reach. Thanks to her, I found the most perfect dress!

A special mention to Alison, whose upbeat nature, energy and personality made every appointment that little bit more enjoyable.

There were a few moments throughout the process where I needed some reassurance. After trying my dress on following a hair trial, I left feeling a little unsure about how everything would come together. I even asked ChatGPT what the dress might look like and somehow convinced myself it was going to look like a school skirt.

Once my dress arrived, I also wasn’t completely happy with how it was sitting and digging into my chest. Connie and Alison were so accommodating, adding detachable straps which turned out to be the perfect solution. I loved having the option to wear them throughout the day and take them off later in the night!

Even on collection day, Connie went above and beyond, encouraging me to walk around in my dress and get a feel for how it would move on the day.

Looking back, I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. I received so many compliments on my dress, and I’m so grateful for the patience, reassurance and care shown by both Connie and Alison.

Thank you both for helping make finding my wedding dress such a special experience.
