Bride To Be Bridal Boutique: what do users think?
Laura Faherty: In love with my dress, great service and lovely staff. Just collected it and can’t wait to wear it!
Alicia Baker: Bride to be came to my rescue after the original bridal shop I went to, went into administration. They have been nothing but helpful and considerate throughout the entire process and super accommodating. From the alterations to picking up my veil for my hair and makeup trial I have had a brilliant experience with them and nothing was too much. I ended up falling in love with a different dress to the one I originally chose (perhaps it was meant to be!) I couldn't have been happier with my choice and felt fabulous on the day. Thank you!
Tina Jones: Called by this shop to get idea on prices for bridesmaid dresses and when the woman came to the door she looked at me like as if I was not good enough for there shop!! And clearly didn't show any interest.
Kara Hailstone-Hughes: I have seen so many positive reviews about BridetoBe, so I just hope that my experience was on an off day...I came in with one of my bridesmaids on Saturday. I paid for a bridesmaids appointment and the bridal appointment was complimentary. I had heard really positive things about BridetoBe before I attended as my friend had purchased her dress from there the week before and had a fabulous experience. I unfortunately did not get the experience I had hoped for. I've worked in a bridal store myself for almost 5 years, so I know what is to expect.Bridesmaids wise I was surprised as there wasn't as much stock as what was seen online, however the selection was great, and I did see a few dresses I liked! Unfortunately one of my bridesmaids was sick that morning so only one came with me so was a very quick try on.However, it was the bridal fitting that I was surprised about. The whole experience just seemed very underwhelming for what bridal should be. My consultant (I will not name her, as I know that it is normal for people to have off days, and I appreciate this), she did not ask me anything about my wedding, she asked my date when it was the bridesmaid fitting. but during my bridal fitting asked absolutely nothing about my special day which was really disheartening for me. As an excited bride trying on wedding dresses I just wanted to spill everything about my wedding, but it almost felt awkward to bring it up myself! I selected 7 dresses to try on, and there were a few that I had seen another bride trying on next door to me that I was keen to try, but the consultant didn't really do anything when I told her this and by the time I had finished the 7, they had been put away and I wasn't given the opportunity to browse for more than 1 other dress. I tried the 7 dresses, came out of the fitting room for each and stood on the podium provided but not once was it asked how I was feeling or what I thought. She just remained quiet. I was left discussing with my bridesmaid how I felt etc and what I liked and didn't like. My consultant occasionally joined conversation by just agreeing on what I had already said. She pegged the back of the dresses but I could still feel how poorly fitted it was, so I wish this had been done better as I couldn't get an actual feel for the dress.I realised an hour into my fitting that I hadn't tried on any Mori Lee dresses and one of my favourite dresses I had found was there, I asked if she had it and described it to which she wasn't sure (again, I understand product knowledge might be still low as she might be new, I'm not sure), I found one similar on the rack, and then she said that it would have to be my last dress as I had tried quite a few ( I still had half an hour left of my appointment!)Not once did the consultant try to help me eliminate any dresses, I left with 3 dresses I loved, and I feel so confused now as I don't have anything to look back on (you can't take photos), I have the product codes that the consultant wrote down, but having looked them up online, they don't come up with the dresses at all. My favourite dress (I think) I cannot find online anywhere, and this really makes me quite sad as I don't know where to go from here. Lastly no question was asked about my budget, this was quite a big thing for me. I filled out a questionnaire before my appointment which said it would go to my consultant to help introduce what I was after. I'm not on a huge budget, but I was allowed to try on a £3000 dress which I loved, but when I saw the tag was instantly disheartened as this is double my budget.Overall there is beautiful dresses in store, but Bride to Be claims that they want every bride to have a fun and exciting experience, but in all honesty my whole appointment was very flat and felt I was just trying on dresses for the sake of it, not for my wedding and I left feeling quite disheartened and sadly still feel it now :(
Amy Sheppard: After trying previous shops before I booked bride to be as a last minute panic, I was surprised on the day of looking I instantly said yes to the dress.The staff are friendly and accommodating and very reliable.All staff have amazing knowledge and all staff make you feel amazing with what they say about you and the way you look in the dress.. no matter which consultant you get they all have something nice to say to you and make it feel very personalThe alteration lady is an absolute genius and can pretty much do anything you wish to add on or make it your own.Can’t fault the professionalism from all members of staff.Thank you bride to be you’ve made my dreams come true .
Giulia 17: I went to this boutique a few days ago for my mother's vow renewal. Ana helped us find and recommend the dress, super sweet and friendly and also a good listener in choosing the dress based on our size and color preferences while also taking into account our budget! Boutique also well set up, clean and cared for!! Thank you Ana my mum is super happy!!😍
Claire Wilkins: So I attend with my friend who is the bride, she was so nervous that she actually came out in hives!! The brides appointment was with Carla, who was just so lovely and really helped to put the brides mind at ease. The bride doesn’t really like clothes shopping (me either) but she did very well trying on several dresses during the time that we were there. Carla really helped the bride to find out what look and shape she liked and what other details she wanted. Carla was very attentive to the bride and I am really pleased with the service my bestie got from this boutique. Carla explained a lot of things which then made a lot of sense, things like not taking photos to go over and pick apart later. Carla explained about money options as well which really helped to minds at ease, because this is one of the very important things really isn’t it?? The right dress and how much it will be. Carla built up some really good rapport with the bride and was genuinely lovely to be with for those couple of hours! Thanks you Carla and to the rest of the team!
Laura Abraham: From start to finish I've had the most amazing experience at bride to be.I Was greeted with such a friendly atmosphere and felt very appreciated and not rushed.Javaid was very knowledgeable and knew how I wanted to present myself on my wedding day, he ended up putting me in something completely different to the dress I thought I wanted ( he actually picked out the final dress)Tatianna has done an amazing job with alterations, she is a super woman with all that beading, and carla always had a beaming smileA BIG THANK YOU 2 ALL.I shall send photos of our big day soon x
robyn Garrett: Thank to everyone at Bride to be, :)You have made my ENTIRE experience with you all so AMAZING!From the moment I went in there I was made to feel so at ease. Nothing was rushed, nothing was too much trouble. The ladies helped me pick a fantastic wedding dress (one that I hadn't thought would suit my shape) but she did an amazing job! :)I was talked through the entire process and made to feel nothing was a problem about anything.I went for my 1st appointment in October and have my final fitting next week, the seamstress is also EXTREMELY talented, she is amazing. All of my alterations that needed doing were done to perfection. :)I have even recommended my friend here and she has successfully purchased a dress from here and she has said exactly the same.I cant wait to collect my dress next week! :)THANK YOU AGAIN,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxService helpfull, friendly
Jack Luke: Really lovely dresses from great brands
Steph Bull: I've been to this shop twice recently as a bridal party member and it's such a wonderful experience.Both times the staff were very helpful and friendly, letting us pick out plenty of dresses for the bride to try on. The consultant asked one of the brides where and when she was getting married and immediately picked out a dress which ended up being perfect for her.Both brides found their dresses here and both had very different styles so it really can cater to a lot of people.Left feeling really warm towards the staff, having had some good banter throughout both sessions.Only improvement would be to offer tea/water/bubbles on arrival ;)
Claire Nash: This has to be the best place ever to get your dream dress. The shop is amazing with soooo many dresses to choose from and they allow you to try on any you want !! We had a lovely guy help us and he made me feel super special and k ew what would and wouldn't be ideal for me... he was amazing and really knew his stuff. Today I said "yes to the dress " and am the happiest girl in the world thanks to Bride to Be
Taseen Rahman: Recently bought an evening gown from Bride to be and have to say the whole experience was amazing.. from making the appointment to dress fitting and lastly after care service.. would definitely shop here again!
Nina Bull: My experience with Bride To Be was fabulous. Javaid and his team were incredibly helpful, so good that the second dress I tried on was the one! They accommodated us coming back later in the day to purchase the dress and let me choose the dress in my own time. Would 100% recommend.
Erika Adami: I would like to thank all the staff at Bride To Be for such an amazing experience. I was so nervous before coming to the appointment, but the consultant very quickly put me at ease. Carla helped me find my perfect dress!Everyone was so professional including the seamstress.I can't wait to wear my beautiful gown on my wedding day! 😍Thank you again xx
Monica Macrae: Having called my daughter a liar. I can confirm to anyone reading reviews my daughter was at the correct shop as I was with her looking at your dresses. I am so glad my daughter bought elsewhere. If this is the service, advice and comments you make to potential customers, i would advise anyone reading to shop elsewhere.
mollie Harris-Dunn: I attended a wedding dress fitting with my best friend as her maid of honour in later 2022.After seeing the response to her review below, I'm extremely bemused by the lack of empathy and professionalism, and sheer audacity to showcase her as a liar when there's no need for her to be?I was there on the day and can say I too was disgusted with the attitude from that particular lady. She did take her measurements, as the bride to be enquired as to whether the particular dress came in a larger size - so she took her measurements to see which size she would be. And then came the remarks about her hips.Charlotte was so upset after that visit, she didn't want to email and bring it all up and stopped me from doing so too (I wish she hadn't now!).Luckily all those coming to try on dresses at your shop will now see your response to the below, and hopefully will see how unapologetic and how unprofessional you have responded.I really do hope future brides don't have the same experience, as this affected her confidence tenfold.
Linda Edwards: From the second I walked in and tried on my very first dress to the moment I collected my beautiful wedding gown, the staff at Bride to Be Bridal Boutique have been wonderful. I was made to feel special on every visit and their expertise gave me confidence every step of the way. Their dresses and accessories are excellent quality and I cannot wait to walk down the aisle feeling a million dollars! I would definitely recommend this boutique to other brides to be.
Charlotte Phelps: went to try on dresses here twice late last year (2022). I'm writing a review now as I've just picked my dress up from a different boutique and it reminded me of the not so nice experience i had here.The first lady who helped us was lovely, can't remember her name, but she was really accommodating and made me feel beautiful. When I returned to try on the dress I liked from the first time, there was a different lady there too who was far from welcoming. I think she may have even been the manager of the store, but cant be sure. I quickly realised it wasn't the dress for me, and asked if there was any dresses similar to that style. When I told her my budget (which wasnt a small budget) she proceeded to say "you'll struggle finding any nice dresses with that budget" in which came across as quite mocking/rude to me and my maid of honour. She then was doing my measurements and kept commenting on how I'd struggle as my hips are "twice the size" of my waist. I wouldn't usually mind this comment if it didn't come across like body shaming in the tone of her voice! Safe to say I didn't return again.Two stars simply as the first assistance deserved 4 stars.
Salisa Britton: I had such a wonderful experience at Bride to Be, from my first dress appointment, to alterations, to collection, I was well looked after always. The in-house seamstress is very talented and did all my adjustments perfectly. I would definitely recommend this to any brides looking for a bridal boutique… time to get married!
L: I'm so glad I came here for my beautiful dress!When I chose my dress, the staff were so helpful and patient-they offered fantastic advice.I chose my dress 2 years ago and have since had a baby- this really worried me, as I was concerned that I wouldn't fit in my dress anymore;when I expressed my concerns, I was gently reassured that it would not be a problem as there was plenty of time left, and that they had many tricks to adjust the size if that did happen (thankfully). The reassurance they gave me was just what I needed, as I began to really panick.The shop is beautiful, the staff were amazing and made sure they offered the very best customer service. I cannot fault my experience at all.Thank you all so much for being absolutely wonderful human beings. You helped to make a potentially stressful experience relaxing and helped to make me feel so special. Don't change a thing.
