I was so nervous about trying in dresses. Im a plus size curvy women and have been through a tough time with weight loss, after loosing over 6 stone I wanted to show everyone what I had achieved. I originally want a dress tight fitted (mermaid or fish tail) but with sleeves to hide my loose skin but show my new figure. But trying these one I did not look how I expected. After 4 or 5 dresses I started to feel deflated and wanted to hide away. But Nickie and Sarah asked if I would trust them to pick some dresses for me, and I'm so glad I did trust them after another 2 dresses they found me the dress of my dreams, I looked in the mirror and I couldn't speak, happy tears appeared and I just could not believe the women I was looking at was me, the dress was incredible and it showed every ounce of what I had worked si hard for and for the first time I looked in the mirror and loved the women I seen. I genuinely from the bottom of my heart I can't thank Rookery enough for finding me the perfect dress, for their patience and for making me look beautiful. I would recommend Sarah and her team always.

From the moment you step into Lara Belle Bridal Boutique, Faye welcomes you into the most beautiful setting with genuine warmth and friendliness. She takes the time to truly get to know the bride (my daughter) and builds a thoughtful picture of the wedding day making the whole experience feel incredibly personal. Her expertise is evident from the start. At no point did we feel any pressure to buy, the atmosphere was relaxed, natural, and completely focused on finding the perfect dress. The quality of the gowns is exceptional, and Faye has an amazing ability to match a bride’s vision with styles that truly complement her shape creating something that feels nothing short of magical. Having visited several other bridal boutiques, I can honestly say that if you’re lucky enough to discover Lara Belle, you’ve found something special. There’s no need to look any further.

Just an absolutely amazing boutique! I came with my mum and they made us feel like old friends. They really know their stuff and know off the bat the perfect dress for you.

I had the most incredible experience at Sassi Holford Somerset! Since the age of 7, I had walked past the shop in Taunton with my mum and dreamt of one day wearing one of their beautiful gowns on my wedding day, and my dream well and truly came true! Lucy was the stylist who helped me pick out my dress at my first appointment. Her knowledge is second to none, and I was made to feel so special and welcome. I also had a couple of appointments with Kristine, who is just as wonderful as Lucy is! Lucy and Kristine were also so helpful when it came to picking a veil to go with my dress - their expertise and advice was so welcome, because I had no idea where to start! I asked advice on all kinds of things from accessories to shoes to hairstyles to underwear, and each and every time I received the best advice. All of the dresses that I tried on were gorgeous. Sassi Holford really understands the female form, and designs gowns that flatter and accentuate your best features - I always felt like I was wearing the dress, the dress was never wearing me. All the materials are carefully selected, and of top quality. Once I had settled on a dress (Mia), I was so well looked after, and kept in the loop throughout the entire process. Emily, the seamstress who does the final tweaks and alterations once your gown has been made, is awesome - I really felt like I was in safe hands with her, and I had full confidence that she would ensure that my dress would fit like a glove on my wedding day, which it did! She even stitched a silver sixpence (that I provided) into my dress at my request, as well as an adorable blue satin bow. She is a miracle worker - I had to cancel my initial final fitting appointment due to contracting Covid, and by the time I was able to come in for the appointment, she only had a 48 hour window to work with, but she managed it! The aftercare and advice you are given when you go to collect your dress ready for the big day is also great! From an emergency kit to have on the day, to recommending a specialist dry cleaner, all bases are covered! And emails are always replied to quickly and in a very friendly manner. From start to finish, I cannot fault the service that these three ladies provided to me (as well as my mum, sister, nan and mother in law, who all accompanied me to appointments at various stages) - they are all superstars! And the dress was the stuff of dreams - it was like it had been designed with me specifically in mind! I felt like royalty on my wedding day, and had so many compliments from my family and friends. It was well made from the best quality materials, and the attention to detail (the lace, the buttons, the train, the underskirts) was incredible. I love how it was made locally in Taunton too. Meeting Sassi herself at my first appointment was the cherry on top of the cake. Thank you, Lucy, Kristie and Emily (and everyone behind the scenes), for making my wedding dress dreams come true. I will be forever grateful.

Izzy obviously loves her work and her dresses are beautiful and affordable. She does plus sizes as well so plenty to trial on. She went above and beyond when she snuck in a little pocket for a photo of my mum who died a few years back so she could be with me on my day!

Highly recommend bridesmaids' dresses by Sharon, was an absolute pleasure to work with and created the most beautiful dresses to a exceptionally high standard for our daughters on our big day! They truly felt like "Princesses". Thank you again Sharon.

I spent a lovely few hours with Caroline last week looking for a wedding outfit. The clothes and accessories are beautiful and Caroline is friendly and professional. She was supportive and really helped with styling. Thank you Caroline.

Bridal Cottage is the first and only shop I visited for my dress. I only ever dress up casually so the experience was a little daunting. However I was greeted with warmth and kindness and ended up finding my perfect dress. Thank you!

This store really made me feel special. There was a no pressure feeling and I didn’t feel rushed. I was able to try on 5 dresses in little over an hour - I even found my perfect match!! So excited for my special day now. Would recommend 100%

Hook & Eye were absolutely fantastic. Rosie and her team helped fit my dress and make custom off the shoulder sleeves. I was very comfortable throughout the whole experience and they were patient with my requests and really listened to what I wanted!
