Lovely shop and friendly staff

I attended the Laura May Bridal outlet and was met by the wonderful Shauna - unfortunately the outlet store had very limited plus size options but Shauna went above and beyond and contacted the main store in Cardiff for us to visit there on the same morning to try on some dresses. The team didn't hesitate within an hour I was in the most beautiful store with thousands of gorgeous dresses and size options and put into the gorgeous Amethyst room where Felicity gave us a prosecco and let is browse our options. I was lucky enough to find my dream dress and buy it off the rail that day! The whole team was fantastic. Being a curvy girl I had dreaded the wedding dress shopping idea after reading some horror stories and worried if I would have many options...at Laura May Bridal they had soooo much for me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Wedding Dress

I don’t normally leave reviews but I had to share my amazing experience at Laura May on the 28/06/25! We all felt so welcome from the moment we walked in! Instantly gave us all a choice of drink and was able to have a look at the dresses. They were all absolutely beautiful gowns I may add. The room and set up for trying on dresses was stunning, Abbie was amazing and made me feel so comfortable while trying on the dresses. She really took her time picking the dresses and I felt she really listened to what we all said and managed to pick the most amazing stunning dress for me. I walked away so happy and so in love with my dress already. Thank you to all the girls that worked there! Everyone was so lovely and smiling all the time. Thank you all so much for making this experience so amazing!!!

Thank you Laura May Bridal Outlet

Being a wedding musician myself, I wanted to try and use local suppliers for my big day. I have met the team at Laura May Bridal a few times at various wedding showcase events and thought I would give their outlet store a try.

It was the only bridal store I went to and came out very happy with my wedding dress. They have various sale offers throughout the year and was totally worth popping in for an appointment to just “have a look”.

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to wear for my wedding, I knew what style of dresses I preferred wearing when performing on the harp but I didn’t know if I wanted something similar to what I know works for me normally.

The sales assistant was extremely helpful and made me feel at ease especially when I was getting a little overwhelmed with not knowing where to begin. I can’t thank the team enough for helping me find my beautiful wedding dress.

Elopement dress

I went in to my appointment knowing I'd already bought my dress, but, as it was the first one I'd tried on, couldn't believe it could be that easy. I had a great time choosing dresses that were outside of my comfort zone and then... the last dress I tried on..... was so perfect and beautiful that I had THE moment with it, and just knew. The lady working gave me all the time and space to consider everything and even managed to knock a bit more of the price off as I text my father and father in law to be to ask if I could borrow the money. LM kept the dress overnight for me and I popped round to collect it the following morning and pay. It was a delightful experience. Thank you.

Worse experience avoid.

Customer service is appalling dresses are damaged and the staff & management are aggressive.
I would not recommend anyone shop here especially such a big purchase on the most special day. They will lie to you and hassle you via email & phone .
AVOID LADIES.

Stress-free great experience

I had no idea what style I wanted and the team were able to help me select several designs to suit me to help me to narrow down my choice before deciding on 'the one'. I was able to take photos, have further opportunities to try on the dress before having to commit which made the experience stress-free. Each time I went, I was made to feel like a friend as well as valued customer and was given what felt like exclusive treatment when I visited. They were flexible about dress storage and the price for this was very reasonable. The dress was ordered quickly, arrived promptly and was looked after really well. A great experience all round
