I’ve said yes to the dress! 🎉🥹💗

As a plus-size bride, I think every woman in my position can understand how frustrating and disheartening it can be to find a bridal store that truly sees you — one that has gowns that not only fit, but are beautiful, high-quality, and make you feel amazing.

From the very first moment I booked my appointment at Blue & Sixpence, I felt cared for. The service was warm, detailed, and so personal — nothing felt rushed or forced. When I arrived, Ali made me feel completely comfortable, and for the first time, I felt like I belonged in a bridal shop.

The gowns were absolutely stunning — elegant, romantic, and they actually fit me perfectly! I couldn’t believe how many gorgeous options there were in my size (UK 24). I tried on several, but when I found the one, I just knew. I felt beautiful. I felt confident. I felt like me.

It’s an experience I’ll never forget, and I’m so incredibly grateful to Ali for creating such a safe, joyful space for brides like me. If you’re a plus-size bride looking for your dream dress — please, don’t miss this place! 💗 thank you once again Ali!

Auntie Ali is wonderful lady!

As a plus sized bride, I was incredibly anxious about trying on dresses, but Ali was amazing! She was so wonderful and welcoming.
Not only is Ali wonderful (and her shop is beautiful), but she has so many dress styles and sizes that it would be hard not to find your dream dress there!
I can't recommend Blue & Sixpence enough! My dress is absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier 🥰

Perfection!

Being a plus size bride, I was so unsure about going wedding dress shopping. Was mostly looking online until my maid of honour dragged me along to Blue and Sixpence. And I’m so glad she did!
Felt so at ease and comfortable there, and ended up finding my perfect dress first go!
Allie was amazing and is just a dream to work with!

Truly wonderful

Had an absolutely wonderful experience choosing my wedding dress with Ali at Blue and Sixpence today! I was nervous but Ali was so lovely and clearly so experienced, she immediately put me at ease and really went above and beyond. There was a truly brilliant selection of gowns in every size and at surprisingly affordable prices! I was so relieved and excited to be able to try on so many dresses that fit so well, and really get to enjoy the process instead of worrying about having to squeeze into something 2 sizes too small. Ali’s expertise made the whole experience a joy- I never felt pressured to buy but found exactly what I wanted and got to experiment with different accessories too. Thank you so much Ali- I will be recommending you to everybody!! xx

A gem of a shop!

We visited Blue and Sixpence in Liverpool with the whole family, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Ali was absolutely lovely – she made us all feel so welcome and completely at home. All of the dresses were beautiful, and there was such a fantastic selection to choose from. My sister found her perfect dress, and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you, Ali, for giving us such an amazing and memorable experience. 💕

Ali is your woman!

I had the most incredible experience choosing my wedding dress with Ali! After an awful experience elsewhere, Ali made me feel so special and comfortable and I found my dream dress.Ali was so kind as to let me book an additional appointment so my family could see my dress and help me choose a veil and hairpiece. My dress was 50% of the original price and her monthly payment plan makes it so affordable!

Honestly, Ali is the go-to woman in the industry and will make you feel a million dollars 😍

Ali is Queen !



Ali is an absolute expert! couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was so anxious about finding a dress but this experience was more than I could’ve hoped for. Ali’s expertise shown through and had such a laugh during the appointment. Nothing was too much trouble. After trying on a few dress I just couldn’t find the right one. Until the last one ! It was my dress. Ali suggested a beautiful veil to go with it. To note I’m not a traditional bride and did not want white. At no point did Ali suggest anything that was traditional. She listened with care and helped me pick my dress. I said yes to the dress !!

Such an amazing experience !!!

I’m getting married in south wales at Christmas and needed a dress. I’m originally from the north west and live in wales now but was visiting family and made an appointment to try on some dresses after ordering some unsuitable dresses online. I’ve never had the wedding dress experience before and I really had no idea what would suit me. So I arrived at my appointment alone and Ali instantly explained the process and asked me all about my hopes and dreams. Literally no idea what I wanted so we picked 4 different styles and set to work. Dress 1 was beautiful but not for my figure. Dress 2 was gorgeous but not quite right. Dress 3 was a 9 out of 10 but it needed some work to make it fit and ideally I wanted to find a dress that fit me.
Then dress 4 came out and when Ali laced it up I burst into tears. Needless to say I chose this dress and took it home with me along with a stunning veil to match it.
I can’t wait to wear my dress it’s absolutely stunning. And to add - there was a saving of 65% on the original price. Would highly recommend buying from Ali.

Amazing Experience!

I visited Blue & Sixpence Bridal with my sister who is getting married next year and our mum and I have to say the whole experience was incredible from the minute we walked through the door!

Ali is so friendly and her knowledge and experience of the industry and her professionalism shines through. She put my sister (and us) at ease immediately. Shopping for wedding dresses can often be a stressful or disappointing experience, but Ali's service and process has changed the game. She makes you feel incredibly special, suggests gowns that you may not have considered before and has lots of helpful tips on finding the perfect dress.

My sister said YES to the dress and we all came away on cloud nine and that is purely down to the experience Ali provided. We cannot thank her enough!

Her unit is literally bursting at the seams with so many gorgeous options for every type of bride. It's a must visit!

Amazing day

Ali was wonderful, but me at ease straight away. I had no idea what I wanted and was open to help which Ali gave to me. There was a large veraity of dresses and she never rushed me. She asked me and my guests to all pick a dress we like and then I seen another I liked and then when I'd tried on most of them and graded them Ali came back with a dress she had chosen for me.. once I'd made my decision Ali then showed me some veils and accessories which she hand makes and we're all beautiful which made my decision harder... I then said YES to my dress. Her prices are so reasonable and she also gives you some tips for seamstress. Ali never once forced anything on me and was honest if she thought it didn't suit she said no not the dress for and she was right and my girls with me agreed.
I would highly recommend Blue & Sixpence to anyone u would not regret going here. Ali gets 10/10 for everything her kindnesses, professionalism, value for money, and overall experience she creates for you xAli was wonderful, but me at ease straight away.
