Blue & Sixpence Bridal

If you’re wedding dress shopping, put Blue & Sixpence on your list!!! I went with my mum and sister and had such a brilliant experience.

The first thing I would say is that the website really doesn’t prepare you for how many dresses there are in the boutique. I couldn’t believe the choice when I walked in. There are rails and rails of beautiful dresses in so many different styles, and the quality of them is incredible. If you have something particular in mind, there’s an extremely high chance you will find it there. You could walk in with almost any idea of what you wanted and Ali would have something for you to try.

And then there are the prices. I genuinely couldn’t believe it, and neither could my mum, considering she very generously paid for mine! I found my dress and it fit almost like it had been made for me, with only the tiniest alterations needed. It is absolutely beautiful, and the discount from its original price was incredible! I'm talking more than 50% off the original price! These are proper designer wedding dresses, and the quality is exactly what you would expect from that, but the prices are nothing like what I expected.

I also needed a really quick turnaround, and Ali is able to accommodate that, which was such a relief. So if you’re shopping on a shorter timescale like I am, don’t assume that means you won’t be able to have the whole wedding dress experience or find something incredible. You absolutely will at Blue & Sixpence.

But what really made the experience was Ali. She is just brilliant. There was no pressure and no feeling of being sold to. She is so down-to-earth and personable that you feel as though you’re shopping with an old friend. She listens to you, she knows her dresses inside out, and you just feel like you’re in really good hands with her.

I had my children with me as well as my mum and sister, and they were completely welcome too. It meant that what could potentially have been quite a stressful shopping trip with children in tow was actually just a really lovely day with my family.

I also really loved finding out more about the idea behind Blue & Sixpence. I hadn’t really thought about how wasteful the wedding dress industry can be before, but so many of the dresses here are designer samples that are already sitting there waiting to be worn. They even help brides resell their dresses afterwards, which I think is such a lovely idea. It just made me feel even better about buying mine there, knowing that there’s a much more sustainable side to what they’re doing too.

And after we’d bought the dress, there was one final little touch that I thought was so special. Ali gives each bride a little postcard with a sixpence and a blue ribbon attached. It’s such a small thing, but it was incredibly thoughtful and just summed up how personal the whole experience had been.

I came away with my dress, but also having had a brilliant day with my family. If you’re considering Blue & Sixpence, go. The choice is far bigger than you can appreciate online, the dresses are beautiful, the value for money is incredible and Ali will treat you like a person, not another appointment in the diary. You really are in such good hands with her. I couldn’t recommend Blue & Sixpence enough.

Ali was so lovely to work with. She has a huge selection of dresses for every need. I tried on so many different types, and finally picked my dress. The afternoon in her studio was relaxing and stress free. She had treats set out for us and we had the whole place to ourselves. These dresses were all at great and affordable prices! I would recommend this shop to anyone!

Had a lovely afternoon with Ali picking out a dress! She made me feel at ease as a plus size bride who was very anxious about trying dresses on! And with no pressure to find one then and there either, and some lovely personal touches thrown in as well!

Had the best time with Ali at Blue and sixpence, she made us all feel so comfortable from the start and was so knowledgeable, informative but also kind and just wonderful, I really didn’t k ow what to expect as this was my first wedding dress shopping experience, she made it fun and I actually found my dream dress, that give me THAT feeling!! Thanks so much Ali for making it such a special time for me and my family xxx

Had an appointment with Ali today, really enjoyable experience. Ali took time to make sure the consultation was personalised, very professional, her experience shone through and made the whole process really fun, comfortable and relaxed. I came away with a beautiful dress I can’t wait to wear on the big day! Highly recommended.

Met by the wonderful Ali who has just literally made our day. Ali took so much time to make us feel welcome and who gave us an experience we will never forget. She has such a wide range of dresses for every size, budget, and taste and went above and beyond with her knowledge and attention. The value for money is remarkable so much so we bought everything there and then. I would highly recommend Blue & Sixpence, you would miss a treat and a fabulous experience so make Ali your first port of call. We can’t thank her enough.

Wow! I came to this appointment not expecting to get my dream dress, but Ali put me totally at ease and gave me a really great experience!
She is very knowledgeable and professional and knew what i wanted more than I did!
I came away with the most beautiful dress and felt amazing, thank you so much Ali x

I'd heard brilliant feedback from friends who had visited Ali when her business was based in Garston, Liverpool. I booked an appointment online, which was easy to do, and entered details of what style of dress I was looking for. Travelled from Liverpool to Ormskirk with my friend. Business was easy to find. Ali was friendly & welcoming. The was a great selection of dresses in different styles, colours & most importantly sizes (as im a curvy Bride to Be). All of the dresses were clearly priced and sorted into sizes on the rails. There was also a great selection of accessories to compliment the dresses. We told Ali my budget and me, my friend & Ali picked out some dresses to try on. The changing room was air conditioned (which was lovely for trying on dresses). Ali took her time to put each dress on me and then we showed my friend for her opinion. Ali gave her honest & professional advice about each dress i tried on. The appointment was relaxed and i didnt feel rushed. At no point did I feel pressurised to make a purchase on the day. I would highly recommend Ali and her business......and yes, i said 'Yes to the Dress!' and I cant wait to wear it in October this year!

The service here was fantastic. I was given guidance and time to find my perfect dress. Ali made me feel relaxed and special and it felt like she was invested in making sure the dress was right for me. Could not recommend highly enough. I found my dress...and bonus, it was an absolute bargain 🙌

Ali made me feel at ease and so welcome 🤗
This was the first time I had ever tried a wedding dress on and she did not disappoint. Lots of fabulous dresses to try on , spoilt for choice in a range of sizes.

Ali was amazing and made me feel so comfortable trying on wedding dresses. She had such a large selection to choose from in plenty of styles and sizes. Thank you for helping me choose my perfect dress! Would 100% recommend!

This a second marriage and as a slightly older bride I was not looking forward to shopping for a wedding dress….but.. I couldn’t have been in better hands with Ali. I went not really knowing for sure what I wanted other than I didn’t want a big puffy dress. I came away with my dress!! It was waiting for me ….
Ali put me at ease from the moment I walked in. There is a gorgeous vast selection of dresses to choose from. I would highly recommend Blue&Sixpence

We had the best experience today, Super friendly, easy to talk to and made my day so special! Ali put me at ease, helped with showibg me how my dress could fit after being altered and even told me when a dress just wasn't right which was a huge help, came in today to just have a look at what I might want and left with my perfect dress! Thank you so much 🎉
