I bought all my Bridesmaids Dresses from Gown Bridal, I had regular contact with Sally via messenger before our appointment. On our appointment we felt very welcome and Sally was very professional and… friendly, luckily all my friends chose the same dress which were absolutely stunning. Sally’s mum altered the dresses for us again our appointment was very professional. Lots of people commented how stunning the dresses were. I would highly recommend Gown Bridal. Thank you Sally and your Mum x

Gown Bridal is amazing. Not only do they offer the best customer service, all alterations are done on site and with an impressive degree of skill. My wedding was delayed for 15 months and by the time it actually happened my dress didn’t fit properly. It was altered perfectly and I actually preferred the new look. I was made to feel at ease and special even when I was at my most nervous and self conscious. I couldn’t recommend Gown Bridal more. Thank you xx

What a wonderful bridal shop. Being a little larger than I'd hope and also having a lot of burn scars, I felt worried about trying on wedding dresses. Never have I been made to feel so lovely and welcome. I couldn't recommend this mother and daughter owned bridal shop any more if I tried. Absolutely beautiful dresses for very reasonable prices. But more importantly they make you feel special about your big day. Thank you and couldn't be happier to have brought my gorgeous dress from you guys xx

Thank you so so much for helping me find the most perfect wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses for my wedding last week! Sally & Beryl, you do such a great job in making us feel so special and supported. Nothing was too much trouble and I wasn’t pushed into making a quick decision. I had so many lovely compliments! Thank you from me, my Mum and my bridesmaids for everything you do, we can’t recommend you enough! All the best for 2021, Rebecca (& Joan) x

Incredible experience all round. The shop is beautiful and has lots of space so I didn’t feel claustrophobic as I have in others. The customer service was excellent...Sally made me feel very comfortable, she was honest and very helpful. The dresses were lovely and I’m the one I purchased was stunning. So so happy. I couldn’t recommend Gown enough. It’s a must for any bride.
