Found the One

I put off buying a wedding dress for ages, as I wasn’t quite ready to pick one. My friend knows Helen and we went to try on some dresses 4 months before my wedding day to have some ideas of what I am looking for.
I was lost to say the least. I picked 3 and Helen picked one, she called it a wild card one. Well, I ended up buying that dress as it was like it was made for me. Perfect. Simply elegant and was the prettiest dress I have ever seen. Helen was super professional, friendly and she has an eye for finding you the dress you meant to have. Highly recommend.

Incredible Wedding Dress Boutique!

What a fantastic boutique, I had such a wonderful experience buying my wedding gown here and I am beyond happy with my choice 🤩 the barn itself is stunning and the dresses are incredible! Helen has taken the time to carefully select the most beautiful gowns and I loved that I didn't have to sift through hundreds of over-filled rails to find the perfect gown for me. This is THE place to go for anyone who likes boho style or sparkles! I tried on over 40 dresses at 6+ boutiques and none were quite as special as the Wedding Dress Barn. I'm confident I got a great deal since I bought my gown in a flash sample sale, and I'm so pleased it is one-of-a-kind since Helen designed the underskirt which means it is totally unique! Helen and Jane made me feel comfortable, special and beautiful and listened to what I wanted. If I could do it all again I would come here every time! Thank you so much ♥️♥️

Great experience

What can I say...I had no idea of what dress I wanted. I’d lost all hope, nothing looked wow online and other dress shops didn’t seem to have the time nor patience with me. I travelled from Kent to the wedding dress barn due to the reviews. I was not disappointed. Hannah and the team took their time discussing my needs and showing me a huge selection of dresses. The gowns they have are absolutely gorgeous. I found the perfect dress at the wedding barn, I cannot wait to get married in my gown, the whole experience was special, bespoke and best of all I didn’t feel pressured in anyway.

Thank you so so much.

Older bride

I was concerned that as an older bride I would look like mutton dressed as lamb.
I wanted to look classy but be comfortable as I would be wearing the dress throughout the day.
Hannah and Helen couldn't have been more attentive and understanding, nothing was too much trouble.
I had an amazing experience with these two lovely ladies.
My dress was perfect and I felt amazing, the registra even commented that I would give Pippa Middleton a run for her money.

Fantastic and so personal

Hannah and Helen are the nicest people you could meet.
I am an ‘older bride’ and felt very anxious about trying on dresses.
The Wedding dress barn provided privacy, dignity, and time to find my perfect dress.
I have been to other dress shops and felt anxious and that nothing fitted me as I wasn’t the perfect size 8 but I felt like the wedding dress barn was a place like home.
Hannah clearly loves to help you achieve your dream of feeling your best and works hard to find the dress just for you that fits all your requirements.
Helen and Hannah I call friends as they go that extra mile to make to make a bride feel truly special and cared for xx

The most wonderful experience!

Honestly the best experience I had while dress shopping was at The Wedding Dress Barn with Hannah and Helen! It’s one bride at a time in such a relaxed and beautiful environment. There is no pressure at all to buy a dress which I found at a lot of other stores! I ended up getting my gorgeous dress here and I can’t wait to wear it on my big day?

The best experience

Thank you so much Helen & Hannah for making my shopping experience so fun, relaxed and just lovely.

Helen helped me so much, I was really unsure what I wanted, how I felt and I ended up finding my dress which was amazing!!!

Gorgeous old barn, parking, so welcoming and helpful! I constantly emailed them and any questions they answered quickly. They also made my family feel so welcome

I’d recommend them over and over again!

THANK YOU
