The Wedding Dress Bridal Gallery, is a small, friendly, family-run business that prides itself on a professional, discreet and expert service. A bespoke, individualised appointment is offered in a warm, welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Our full attention will be given during a private appointment, to make a bride feel as comfortable as if they are in their very own living room. Here at The Wedding Dress Bridal Gallery, staff are trained to give brides expert advice on the designers, the fit and the fabrics. We love what we do! We get to know our brides and their families and have made firm friends. We get so excited for our brides and are actually quite sad when they leave us and become a Mrs. A number of our brides have been known to call us ‘The Wedding Fairies’ for giving them confidence they want on their wedding day. ...the designers. Our wedding dress collections are carefully selected to ensure that we have the most exquisite gowns with all types of bride in mind. From the traditional gown for those looking for timeless beauty, to the much more eccentric for the fashion- forward bride. We have dresses to meet all requirements; from the small intimate beach wedding, to the biggest, most extravagant wedding fit for a palace! We also stock bridal accessories and bridesmaid dresses to help complement a bride’s gown. We’re proud to say that we stock a huge range of British designer gowns in our showroom, featuring beautiful lace, delicate beading, soft romantic tulles and striking satin, to name but a few. With designer gowns ranging from a size 0 to 36, we really do have something for everyone. At The Wedding Dress Bridal Gallery, we love all of our designers, and carry dresses from the following: Mark Lesley, Donna Salado, Special Day Bridal and Eternity Bride. Our favourite dress is the stunning Kate from the very talented Donna Salado. The simplicity of the gown, along with the luxurious fabrics and the exquisite crystal belt make this dress sensational. We particularly love the blush and ivory tulle skirt, the incredible low back with delicate strap detail and the plunging neckline of the Mikado bodice. A truly fabulous dress for the daring bride! ...price range of gowns. Our dresses range greatly in price so that all budgets are catered for. Dresses to order new start from £400, and go up to around £2,500. There’s also the option to buy ex- sample gowns from the rails with a variety of discounted prices. We don’t want brides to feel embarrassed to tell us if they have a budget in mind. This prevents situations where ladies fall in love with a dress outside of their price range. TOP TIP: Our top tip for brides coming to our boutique is to be open-minded when shopping for their wedding gown. We will make suggestions of dresses to try based on budget, body shape, venue and the bride’s vision of her wedding day. Having trust in the bridal consultant is vital for a successful shopping experience.
