Excellent wedding dress experience

Russell, Carly and the team were fantastic from start to finish- there was a minor issue with the length of the dress and before I even had time to blink they’d sorted it! I loved Russell’s creativity, honesty and enthusiasm in helping me to make decisions about the dress. He was brilliant!

A wonderful experience

I can’t recommend Blackburn Bridal highly enough! I fell in love with the style of dresses that Russell designs and it was the only shop I needed to visit. My wedding dress shopping experience was so much fun, I tried on a number of dresses (which were all gorgeous!) and I never felt rushed or pressured at all. In the end Russell found my dream dress for me and it is absolutely stunning. Russell, Carly and the team do an amazing job and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much!

The best wedding boutique in London!

I can’t praise Russell and the whole Blackburn Bridal team enough. From my first appointment, they made me and my bridal party feel so at ease and were extremely helpful with suggestions of different designers, dresses and accessories. The boutique is beautiful too, in the heart of gorgeous Blackheath.

The collections are plentiful but it never felt overwhelming and both Russell and Carly really helped guide in making my final decision without it feeling pressured or rushed.

In the lead up to the wedding, I went back for a few more fittings and alterations until my dress was ready and the experience was completely seamless and communication was always great (plus great value for money!).

I enjoyed every minute of finding my dream wedding dress so don’t hesitate and make a booking with them - you will not regret it. 10/10 ❤️
