What a wonderful experience from start to end; the lovely Corina was incredibly kind, sweet and helpful and made the whole process fun and enjoyable. I only had a few weeks to find a dress and Corina helped find and create such a beautiful dress, tailored completely to fit and making great suggestions. She truly is a gem and the dresses are stunning, I was so happy with mine and the whole experience - would highly recommend to anyone and have already recommended to several engaged friends! Thanks again Corina

The best bridal shop ever, where I found my dream dress. We had a pleasure to deal with Karina, the sweetest and the most caring person. Whole experience went smoothly without any pressure to buy, but she offered us so many nice dresses and options of altering them in the way to make it more unique and personalised. I would definitely recommend this shop and it's always better to try it on as it looks 100% better on the person than on the hanger.

My friends and I went here to have a look and, while I didn't end up purchasing my dress from here, we had a really great experience! We walked in without an appointment and the staff were really welcoming, despite being a little bit busy with other customers. We didn't feel rushed or pressured and the lady that was attending to us was lovely. The dresses are truly beautiful and very reasonably priced.
