We later took over the property above us, and now we’ve really taken things to the next level!” In our social media world, the company saw that brides want fun, Insta-worthy experiences. “We want to change the perception of bridal shopping,” says Shannon. “We’re showing it doesn’t have to be daunting, it can be fun and exciting.” Its new luxury suite has space for 10 guests and contains a private gin bar, sweet shop and super-cool pink neon selfie wall. Brides can book the suite and be treated to prosecco, sweet treats and signature Dotty cocktails! To celebrate saying “I do” in a Dotty gown, brides can take part in a balloon pop to win amazing prizes and they’ll also receive a gift bag full of luxury goodies and a Dotty bridal mug.
