Established by Kathryn in 2009 Dream Wedding Dress is a designer wedding boutique situated a short distance from Nottingham City Centre. Coming from a completely different professional background, I became inspired to create Dream Wedding Dress after my friends rather mixed experiences in finding their dream dress.
Our collection of expertly designed dresses & beautiful quality fabrics ensures we have a wide selection of styles in store. So if your wedding is in a Cathedral, marquee or even on a beach, there is a dress that is right for the occasion. In 2011 Jaime joined the team and together our focus is to provide a personal, friendly service in helping brides find their perfect wedding & bridesmaids dresses.

Services
Yes, you will need an appointment as we work one on one to help find your dream wedding dress. First fittings are usually 90 minutes and we have found this is a good amount of time to try on our selection of gowns and revisit any of your favourites. If you want to go away have a think about your short list we will do a 60 minute retrial.
Many of these dresses have been used as samples in store and we have taken the utmost care to keep them in the best condition. Some dresses may need some TLC in regards to beading, we aim to fix this before we post the dress. Some may need a dry clean, we always recommend you have a dry clean after your alteration work has been carried out and always by a professional bridal dry cleaner.
I will be eternally grateful to Kathryn & the DWD team for helping me to have the wedding of my dreams! The dress i fell in love with was discontinued and they not only managed to source one for me, but also helped me sell the equally beautiful dress i had already brought.
Two days before the wedding I foolishly dry cleaned my dress and nearly ruined it, but Kathryn was at the other end of the phone with practical advice and support and managed to help me out!Nothing was too much to ask, Thank you, you are so, so, so much more than just a dress shop!. I just want to say a huge thank you to you both!

DWD made finding a wedding dress such an enjoyable experience! After trying on a couple of dresses Kathryn and Jamie just knew which dresses to pull out for me to try on, making it so enjoyable and easy!
When I tried on my actual dress for the first time there was an issue with the fit. Kathryn did everything she could to put this right for me, she went above and beyond to ensure I was happy and comfortable in my dress. Things do go wrong sometimes, but it’s how you deal with it and Kathryn couldn’t have dealt with it any better. Thank you! It’s very much appreciated.

I brought my dress from here and loved it. Good rate of service from both ladies i dealt with, however find your own seamstress because the one they advised ruined my dress to the point where it was impossible to rectify. I did email the shop and sent photos to show what had happened to the dress, after the wedding, only to get an unsatisfactory email as a reply. Overall, the shopping experience was a positive one, but the service it came with and the end result were subpar.

Amazing dress place! Brought a dress with 10 weeks before my wedding. They got the dress in so quickly and made the alterations so quickly and they looked perfect! I also had an extended lace train added to the dress which Natalie the alterations woman did so quickly and it look amazing. Kathryn also came in on her day off so I could pick up my dress before my holiday(wedding). I feel they did everything above and beyond to make my dress perfect. Thank you so much!

Absolutely amazing dress place! I lost my first dress because the shop went into administration, so I had to find another one. The dresses were so beautiful and Jamie and Kathryn were amazing, so friendly and helpful. After having lost my first dress, I was nervous and apprehensive, but I was put at ease by their professionalism. I would definitely recommend this shop to every bride! Thank you for helping to make it a perfect day!

I found my gorgeous wedding dress at Dream Wedding Dress in their sale at an absolutely great price. The staff were super helpful and friendly and clearly knew what they’re talking about, e.g. regarding alterations. I even met their seamstress Claire, who is absolutely great. Also, there wasn’t any pressure. I’d been looking around quite a bit, including warehouses/outlets and seen a dress I quite liked, but the quality just doesn’t compare! My dress not only looks great but feels amazing (and even at a lower price than at the warehouse). Thank you so much! I highly recommend visiting!

Loved my dress experience. I was was able to find everything from here. My veil and headpiece, my dress as well as my three bridesmaids dresses. Lovely ladies no pressure to buy and very helpful. Wish I could come back and repeat the experience all over again. Fabulous selection of dresses and accessories suitable for all shapes and ages.
