Based in Whitefield, Manchester, Fairytale Brides are passionate about all things bridal. A bridal shop with tons of gorgeous wedding dresses to suit every body shape, including a bespoke changing area complete with floor to ceiling mirrors, we also stock a wonderful collection of bridal accessories, including tiaras and veils.
I found my dream dress thanks to Fairytale Brides and could not fault the service from start to finish. Carol and the girls made me feel so special and nothing was too much trouble for them. Unlike other shops they seemed interested in me as a bride and not selling a dress. I needed some minor alterations due to weight loss to which I was a little bit nervous, however the service provided was excellent and my dress was completely flawless.

Treated so specially from start to finish. A wonderful mother & daughter run shop and both Jemma & Carol made the day so very magical for us.
We weren’t rushed or pushed into anything during the appointment and my daughter came away with a truly stunning dress! Well worth my 5 stars and more. I would recommend this shop hands down.

Carol and all the girls at Fairytale Brides made choosing my wedding dress a magical experience. I ended up going for a completely different design than what I had in mind. Carol was patient and made me feel at ease, giving her expert knowledge to this clueless bride!! I LOVE my dress and can't wait to wear it on the big day. ❤

What a fantastic family business! Such a beautiful environment to choose your dress. Warm, personal attention - nothing is too much for them. We had the pleasure of meeting before lockdown and when lockdown happened, we received a call keeping us up to date with what was happening. We had our fitting, the alterations were done on the same day and my daughter is so happy and ready for her 2nd wedding date. If you're wondering where to go for your dress, don't hesitate, start at Fairytale Brides - you will be so pleased you did. ❤

Had been looking for a dress for a while now with only 8 weeks to go to the wedding. Stepped into Carol's shop and could have taken home almost every dress we tried on! Left a very happy bride with a beautiful dress from the sale perfect condition. Lovely customer service and made me more excited for the big day :)

I spotted Fairytale Brides when looking for my wedding dress, as I was looking for a specific Hayley Paige dress, and Fairytale brides was listed as an official stockist. I phoned the shop and spoke to Carol who was absolutely lovely. She advised me that she knew which dress I was referring to but that they did not actually stock it. The shop had a HP trunk show coming up and Carol offered to book me in, and she would request that they send the dress I wanted to see for the trunk show. To my delight, when I had arrived at the shop, they had managed to get hold of the dress. Gemma assisted me on
