Relaxed, calm, happy experience. Found The Dress!!

Thank you Jessica for a lovely experience for my sister in finding her perfect dress.

We had a relaxing session of choosing dresses which my sister then tried on with Jessica's expert help and gentle advice.

We were delighted to find The Dress on this visit, which has now set a beautiful wedding theme. My sister is very happy and I think a bit more relaxed about the wedding now!

We look forward to getting the dress fitted and some bespoke shoulder straps or sleeves made by Shade bridal.

The atmosphere at Shade Bridal is classy, calm, friendly and kind. Jessica made us cups of tea and coffee, and we sat in lovely chairs in the beautiful, serene shop.

The fact that the shop is fairly small is to its credit and works really well. The choice of dresses was plenty without being overwhelming, and there were dresses to suit all budgets and tastes.

We actually got really lucky with the sale rail, and believe that this dress has just been waiting for my sister.

Thank you so much!

Amazing

Jessica has been amazing throughout my whole wedding dress shopping process.
On our first visit, I absolutely loved one particular dress, but couldn't make up my mind. Jessica didn't put any pressure on at all about buying it. A few weeks later (after a lot of other dresses), I decided that this original dress had been 'the one'. I contacted Jessica and it was still there - definitely 'meant-to-be'. Mum and I went to try the dress on again and the decision was sealed!!
We booked in a date to go and have the dress altered and Natalie (the seamstress) was fantastic! She is definitely incredibly skilled - and both her and Jessica had some ingenious ideas in terms of fixing up the dress to make it perfect! Nothing has been too much trouble for either of them - especially with fitting me in as I live in London!
I cannot wait to wear my dress in less than 3 weeks time!! Definitely couldn't recommend Shade Bridal more!

The service is second to none

I visited a number of bridal shops and tried on many dresses but none compared to Shade. They have the most amazing selection of dresses to choose from and the service is second to none. Jessica was lovely and helpful from the start; always having tea and chocolates on offer! Natalie worked wonders in making sure my dress fit perfectly, pretty much taking it apart and putting it back together again - although you would never know by looking at the finished product! I would not hesitate in recommending! Thank you so much

A massive thank you

I want to say a massive thank you to Jessica and her seamstress Natalie for the most perfect wedding dress for me, i felt amazing wearing it on the day and i honestly couldn't have found better. Jessica was so helpful and accommodating right from the start and when i found my ideal dress and it was a few sizes too big, Natalie did an amazing job at altering it and it fitted absolutely perfectly on the day! I couldn't have been happier or had better service anywhere! Thank you Shade x

Beautiful dresses and amazing service

If you are looking for beautiful dresses and amazing service from people that will really help you find the right dress for you then go to Shade Bridal! I cannot recommend them highly enough. I adore the dress that I wore at my wedding, but I also had a lovely experience getting it from Shade Bridal - Jess and the team listened to what I wanted, helped me pick out styles to suit me, and generally made finding a dress and have fittings very relaxed and fun. I am so glad found my dress there.

I found the dress of my dreams at Shade Bridal

I found the dress of my dreams at Shade Bridal. Jess and the team have a gorgeous shop and are wonderful people. Every time I went to the shop I felt cared for and not once did my needs or anxiety’s get brushed aside. I had a bespoke bow on the back of my dress which was the finishing touch to my princess ball gown and I am so grateful for Jess and Natalie for making my visions become a reality. I felt like a true princess wearing the most amazing dress on the most amazing day of my life. I will be recommending Shade Bridal to everyone.
