I bought my bridesmaid dresses from Martels and had a fantastic experience throughout the whole process. Before coming across Martels, I was struggling to find bridesmaid dresses that I felt really stood out and were in the colour that I was after. My bridesmaids live across the UK with different heights and body shapes and I liked the idea of going to a shop together to try on different styles and see what suited each of them. This is where Martels comes into its own. The boutique is so lovely and the range of colours and styles was truly impressive. I loved being able to take a style and then choose the colour and material that I wanted the dresses to be in. Vanessa was very knowledgeable and friendly throughout and did not make us ever feel rushed. She was so helpful and made great suggestions showing how the dresses could be tailored to make my vision come to life. I also do not live close by and Vanessa was incredibly flexible to fit us in at a busy time of year to allow for travel logistics. She made the whole experience so stress-free and smooth and we all had a wonderful time at the boutique. When the dresses arrived, they were of such high quality and so well made. They looked amazing on my bridesmaids and required only minor alterations. I was so happy with my choice in Martels and had so many comments on the day about how stunning the bridesmaids looked. I would highly recommend Martels for purchasing bridesmaid dresses and am so glad that we came across them at the Lion Inn wedding fair – thank you for being part of our special day!

A gorgeous, welcoming bridal shop, you'll be in safe hands with Jane who provided me with a truly tailored and personalised experience to ensure the dress I said yes to met all of my needs! Thank you Jane xx

I cannot express how happy I was with Serena Bridal. I was dealt with by Fran who worked there and she was the loveliest lady with so much knowledge and kindness throughout my wedding journey. I picked a gorgeous dress and she altered it beautifully. My one downside was that the strap of the dress broke off after the ceremony but that was not Serena's fault but the style of dress which did not completely allow for my arms to go straight up quickly (one strap popped off when my husband raised our arms in celebration. Would recommend this supplier definitely :)

Lovely experience for my bridesmaids and I, we found the perfect dresses out of a great selection. Great communications from Sophie. Highly recommend.

I cannot thank Cilla enough for helping me find my perfect wedding dress! After visiting several shops and feeling like I’d never find “the one,” walking into The Bridal Rack was a breath of fresh air. She was kind, helpful, and honest every step of the way—from the first visit to every fitting. Her warmth and expertise instantly put me at ease, and she took all my worries away. Thanks to her, I found a dress that fit like a glove and made me feel amazing on my wedding day. I had so many compliments, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and will help you find a dress that makes you feel like the best version of yourself, Cilla is the one. Highly recommend!

I loved every moment of my first ever wedding dress try on. I’ve found my dream dress and I never thought I would like the style but Laura is so amazing at what she does; she is like a magician! She so cleverly talks you through the styles, fits and designs and compares every dress you try on to select the next option. Laura threw me in a few curve balls and one of which ended up being my dream dress. Not to mention that I was taken care of with a glass of Prosecco and endless coffee as well as complete calm, zero pressure and 100% expertise from Laura. I cannot thank you enough Laura, I want to come back every week and do it all again please! Anyone contemplating booking in to see Laura, just do it. Don’t hesitate.
