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.

The ladies at B2B were incredible every step of the way. They were so so knowledgable, body positive and made me feel absolutelt stunning. Without them, I wouldn't have found my dream wedding dress. If I could do it all over again, I would absolutely go with B2B again 💓

I had visited a few different bridal shops around Cheshire before coming here, and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, Claire, the owner, made me feel completely at ease. She was so honest, friendly, and genuinely wanted to help me find the right dress rather than just make a sale. The range of dresses was fantastic, with something for every style and budget. I also loved meeting Claire the seamstress, whose knowledge and experience gave me so much confidence that my dress would fit perfectly. The whole experience felt relaxed, personal, and really special. If you’re a bride looking for your dream dress, I couldn’t recommend this lovely bridal shop in Frodsham more highly. Thank you both for making such an important part of my wedding journey so enjoyable!

I was extremely nervous about dress shopping, I absolutely hate shopping. I was made to feel as ease straight away. By the time I tried my 4th dress on I knew what I wanted. Dress 5 was the one but there was something missing, I wanted some sparkle adding to the skirt. As if by magic I was shown a piece of material that would work. My perfect dress had been found. I cannot fault the service at all. There was no pushy sales and I was made to feel special. On my day I absolutely loved my dress, it was perfect.

I couldn’t be more happy with how I was treated, I walked in without knowing what I wanted or was looking for and everything was explained from neck lines and prices and what could be removed from dresses and what could be added. From the day I purchased my dress to my alterations everyone was amazing! The dress looks beautiful and fitted amazingly everything was always checked and double checked before anything happened. Dress was ready to collection when requested all steamed for me to check before being put in it’s bag ready for the big day

Swan Brides has an amazing intimate space and provides an amazing experience from start to finish. Considering my mother and two bridesmaids were having to travel from Scotland, I was relieved to contact Vicky and she kindly gave me an appointment on a Sunday which suited all of my bridal party. I know she tries to do one a month and lucky for me, she was just as helpful in person. She welcomed us and was really friendly and knowledgeable about various dresses and styles. I had given vague indications to what I thought I wanted but considering the dress in my head was based on watching Say Yes to the Dress from the 2000's, it's not a surprise my ideas had been out of date for years and no longer in fashion. However, Vicky was amazing and pulled about 4 or 5 dresses for me. All fitted so well and had lots of differences but all were gorgeous. She was honest with me in a very kind way, not like other experiences I had elsewhere. She was great at making sure I enjoyed the experience and ensured I got the dress beyond my expectations. From saying yes to the dress, to collecting it, she was so helpful and the seamstress that she works with (shout out to the marvelous Mandy) was equally supportive and friendly. Although different businesses, I'd like to point out they work so well together and both ladies were so good from start to finish. Would highly recommend Swan Brides Boutique for anyone looking for an outstanding experience with staff you can trust to provide a quality service from start to finish. Unlike other bridal stores I visited, the ladies do not pressure you into buying something you don't love and helped me build up my confidence to get the best dress for me. I had so many compliments on the day and I couldn't have asked for a more amazing dress and I was so comfy throughout the day. Especially impressive considering we got a bright sunny day in May. Would rate higher if able to as everything was great and well above what I could have ever asked for! 11 out of 10!

From my first visit to to Sarah’s Wedding Boutique, I was made to feel so welcome. Naomi was patient, kind and extremely helpful. I was able to take my time trying on so many different dresses and ask about the different styles. I was delighted with my dress when I tried it on and even more so on our wedding day. We also purchased flower girl dresses and my veil from here too. Despite one of the flower girl dresses being out of stock, Naomi worked hard to order a similar design and supported us with deciding upon sizes. Naomi and Sarah always kept me updated and when the dresses arrived - they were even more stunning than the photos had shown. We were really impressed at the quality and design of the flower girl dresses. Thank you so much for making my dress experience such a positive and memorable one for me (and my family too).

I honestly cannot recommend Erica enough. The whole process was a joy from start to finish. She helped to turn my vision into a reality and I genuinely loved working with her, she was so helpful and full of good ideas. Our guests were in awe of the dress and it was a pleasure to be able to say that Erica created it for me. Thank you. Erica and team for creating something so beautiful, comfortable and distinctly 'me' x

Great service. The team was lovely and could not help me enough. Nothing was too much trouble and they took time with me, I didn't feel like just a number to them. I absolutely adored my dress. I didn't want something off the rail and I got numerous compliments on the day as to how beautiful the dress was. I would certainly recommend Maria Morris Couture to any bride and her bridesmaids.
