Below are some of our beautiful brides and their experience of their bridal journey with us.
Aimee was so kind, thorough and got to know me and my preferences so well, each fitting was so exciting to see what magic she had done! Everything fit together perfectly and looked incredible. I am so grateful for all incredible work on my dress, Aimee; thanks again.
The alterations felt like they had always been part of my dress. Looking at the first "yes" photo of photos of dress on my wedding day still makes me cry happy tears. I had no idea that my dream dress was going to come to life in front of me. I knew I always wanted lace sleeves on my dress and when I was told it was possible on a strap-top dress I fell in love with, I was ecstatic.
I feel you were very accommodating and listened to my wishes and needs. You made it a smooth process.
The overall service at The Wedding Shop was amazing from start to finish especially when it came to altering my dress. I had lost a noticeable amount of weight from when I first picked my dress to when it arrived in store and the alterations department were amazing in making my dress fit like a glove!
From start to finish, I couldnt have asked for a better experience! Not only did The Wedding Shop help me find the most beautiful dress, they also transformed it into my dream dress! With a warm welcome into the shop for the first time, Emily took me and my group upstairs to start trying on dresses in a private and quiet area. She effortlessly helped me pick out "The one" and after celebrating with some bubbles, we went through the modifications I wanted.
Because I wanted quite a modest dress, the dress I picked was a strappy square neck fitted dress with a low back. So quite a bit needed modifying to make it modest! But during my fittings with the lovely Aimee, she made me feel like no hassle at all! With every ask I had, she creatively came up with a beautiful design, especially for the back and sleeves! It was always a pleasure to go back to the shop, even though I lived about 1.5 hours away, Aimee shared some tips and tricks on how to stand and walk in my dress and she made sure I was happy with everything. When I wasn't at the shop, Aimee and her dream team of seamstresses sent me photos of the progress before stitching everything in place.
Thank you for making my wedding dress experience so amazing! I felt so comfortable in my dress all day. I felt like a princess and I'm so grateful to the team for making my dress fit absolutely perfect!
From the first visit in October last year when I said yes to the dress, to my final fitting just a few weeks ago, it felt like you were really there along my whole wedding planning journey and you couldn't have made it smother or more enjoyable.
I felt like a million dollars all day and that's all down to the amazing service that you (Aimee) and the alterations team provided. It really fit me like a glove and was comfortable all day. And the bustle worked so well! You would of never had known the team had taken out a couple of inches from the bodice, everything lined up neatly. I had such a lovely experience here and couldnt recommend it more to future brides.
