I had been dreaming of my big day, as most women do, for most of my life - specifically, the perfect wedding dress, "The One". I was so embarrassed, hurt and disheartened when I visited the bridal shops in my area.
It was a terrible experience, especially when I eventually found a dress that would have catered to my shape; they didn't stock it in my size and used industrial clips, fabric and a dress several sizes too small to try to show me what the end result might look like.Even so, I bought it because I felt I had exhausted all other options.

After a long and harrowing search I stumbled across this absolute gem. For the first time I enjoyed my wedding dress shopping experience.

As a curvy bride, this is the ONLY bridal shop you ever need to visit. Kelly is wonderful, you will have a positive, and truly lovely experience and get to try on dresses that actually fit and are stunning. I was like a rabbit caught in headlights when I first walked in but Kelly just put ne at ease and helped me find my stunning dress.

Kelly was absolutely amazing. I only went to her shop as I found my dress on my first visit. We tried on many dresses and just kept coming back to this one. Everytime I saw kelly she was lovely and she was always interested in what was going on with the wedding plans and more like a friend than a lady selling me a dress. Being a larger bride I thought nothing would fit however I had more choices than I could ever imagine. I went in wanting plain and fell in love with bling. Thanks kelly xx

The owner is quite literally the nicest person we have had the pleasure of dealing with. She is honest and wont force the sale on you. If it doesn't look right she wont prance around saying it does. A truly admirable quality.
Quite frankly a totally inspirational idea, a wedding dress shop for the bigger bride. The first time we got married we had to use a local shop that ordered in a dress in a gigantic size and hoped the alterations would do. However my wife was totally disappointed with the end result and frankly wrecked the day.
Bride with curves ordered the right size and the dress fitted
