I can not recommend Corston Couture enough! Coral made the whole experience so special. I found it really hard to find a dress I liked in other boutiques and when I went to Corston Couture I found it hard to pick a dress as I absolutely loved each gown. The craftsmanship and detail in each design is incredible. The dresses are modern, elegant, luxurious and at an affordable price point. Highly recommend!!

Coral is so talented and designs the most beautiful dresses!! When I went there I had a list of the dresses that I wanted to try on and Coral happily pulled out those dresses for me to try on but she also gave me a couple that she thought would suit me she has an eye for it because the dress I ended up choosing was one that she insisted I try on! Coral changed the design slightly to suit my petite frame and it was just perfect.. everyone had so many lovely comments about my dress on the day. Thank you Coral :) xx

I attended a bridal dress appointment with the Bride and was immediately impressed at the quality and craftsmanship of the showroom pieces. Every gown was stunning and unique and different to any others I'd seen elsewhere. The service was impeccable and intimate with suggestions made for alterations based on the brides body shape and what works, the advice provided was unparalleled to any other place we had been. Would highly recommend.
