Ended up being the only shop I needed

I ended up coming here quite last minute after another shop cancelled on me, and I’m so glad they were able to fit me in. I was visiting Banbury from four hours away with my family to try on dresses, so it really felt like it was meant to be. They made me feel really comfortable straight away.

I went in thinking I knew exactly what I wanted, but ended up liking something completely different. I honestly wouldn’t have figured that out without Lara. She took the time to go through everything with me and helped me try styles I wouldn’t have picked myself.

I never felt rushed or pressured, which made such a difference. It all felt really easy and relaxed, and I’m so glad I came here. Would highly recommend!

Amazing service

I was welcomed by Lara in 2020 to choose my wedding dress for my destination wedding in 2021. The team were very accommodating and I had an amazing experience finding my dress! My budget was respected and the girls picked out gowns in my price range, it can be overwhelming looking through hundreds of dresses so Lara asked the style I wanted, colour etc and picked out what she thought would be appropriate.
Banbury bridal was the only shop I went to and I found my dream dress that day!

Absolutely fantastic

I had the best time trying on wedding dresses. Explained to Lara that we had pulled our wedding forward due to my Dad being very poorly. Explained we didn’t have much time for alterations etc.. Lara was brilliant, asked what I visioned then we started looking. I pulled a couple of dresses out which I liked but they weren’t quite the right one, Lara pulled one out and said I think this will look lovely, I looked at it on the hanger and said I’ll try it but not sure I like it and wow wasn’t I wrong. She picked out exactly what I wanted and more. I remember trying it on and shouting out to my mum and sister that this is the one. I couldn’t have had a better experience and so glad I trusted the experts. Thank you so much for making me feel a million dollars on my special day. I’d recommend you over and over.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Banbury Bridal Absolutely Exceptional

I bought my wedding dress from Banbury Bridal and honestly, the whole experience was just lovely. From the moment I walked in, I felt relaxed and looked after — no pressure, no fuss, just really warm, genuine care.

Lara, who I dealt with, was absolutely amazing. She made everything feel so easy and enjoyable. She listened, she understood what I was looking for straight away, and she had this calm, friendly way about her that just put me completely at ease. You can tell she really knows her stuff, but she’s also just a genuinely kind person, which makes all the difference.

I ended up finding the perfect dress, and it’s all thanks to her. I left feeling excited, confident, and really special — exactly how you want to feel when choosing your wedding dress.

I couldn’t recommend Banbury Bridal enough. And if you get to work with Lara, you’re in the best hands.

What a fabulous experience from start to finish ❤️

I really can’t thank the girls enough for such a perfect afternoon of smiles love and laughter.
They put me at ease from the get go.
Being a plus size and in my 50’s I was very apprehensive about how this was going to go. But Lara put my mind at ease within 5 minutes of my appointment.
We laughed. We cried. (Happy tears)
We found my perfect dress.
I was on cloud 9.
What an amazing experience.
Every lady wants that WOW moment.
Thanks to the girls I got that and more.
Would recommend them 100%.

10/10 from start to finish!

Absolutely amazing experience at Banbury Bridal! From start to finish everything was perfect. I was so happy with my dress — it was everything I’d hoped for and more, and I felt incredible wearing it on my wedding day.

Lara was honestly so lovely and helpful throughout the whole process. She made me feel completely comfortable, listened to exactly what I was looking for, and was so patient and supportive while I tried different styles. Her knowledge and guidance made choosing my dress such a special and stress-free experience.

I’m so grateful for all of her help and couldn’t recommend Banbury Bridal enough to any future brides. Thank you for helping me find the most perfect dress!💍✨

Personalised and made for me.

From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. They were so kind and truly took the time to learn about my personal style and what I envisioned for my big day, which made the experience feel so personal and special. They really went out of their way to find the perfect dress that suited me beautifully. You won’t find your dress anywhere else for cheaper! My style is definitely different from a lot of other brides and I saved hundreds on my dress! All in all, it was such a heartwarming and personalized experience, and I’d absolutely recommend this shop to any future bride looking for that extra bit of comfort and inspiration.

Great experience, excellent service

Staff listen to what you want and work hard to find you the perfect gown. They work hard to find you a dress within your range and also offer price plans. Happy and relaxed atmosphere making you feel at ease so very enjoyable appointment

Amazing ladies!

I went in June 2025, cutting it a bit fine for my October 2025 wedding but Lara was great and put me at ease with her sense of humor. There is a beautiful range of dresses. As a plus size bride there was plenty on offer for me too! Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic service

Visited here due to them having lots of good deals on dresses. After describing my dream dress, one of the team members ran to the back of the shop and came out with a dress that matched my spec. Had to snap it up!
They sorted out for a corset back to be put on it and when I identified issues with the dress, the seamstress rectified it.
I ended up buying 2 dresses from there - one for ceremony and 1 for dancing.

I just want to say a big thanks to all your staff. 100% recommend the shop.

Perfection!

Banbury Bridal took me by surprise. I went in with no expectations of finding a dress as I knew I needed a non-traditionak gown but no idea on much else. Lara and her daughter were fantastic and so so lovely. We tried on some gorgeous dresses and then Lara pulled a stunning gown out of nothing. Tried it and bought it!
The shop is wonderful and the prices are amazing - worth a visit for all brides. A great experience ❤️

Beautiful dress

I bought my beautiful wedding dress here. They had such a range of dresses. I bought mine in the sale for only 250! Which I think was an absolute bargain!
