Thank you!

Many many thanks for all your advice and hard work in creating my beautiful wedding dress to be just how I wanted it. I was so pleased when i'd finally found 'the one' after trying on 60 dresses! Louise was fantastic at recommending alterations to my dress that I hadnt even thought of and I couldnt believe how natural you made the dress look. Thank you for being so patient, and professional.

The dress on the day fitted perfectly. After sweating in the heat and drinking a bit too much wine the week before hand in Turkey, I was a bit worried that it would be a bit tight, but I actually felt very comfortable and my mum couldnt believe how well done the lace round the top was. I enjoyed wearing my dress so much, so thank you for a great experinece in buying it.

Thanks a million again for all your help.

I want to say thank you so much for all for your assistance and advice in making the purchase of my wedding dress a really stress less and lovely experience. I know you must hear this a lot but I really did feel special from the first visit with my friend up to the last when you boxed up my dress to travel. I would have no hesitation in recommending you and your store to any future brides to be.

We had a fantastic day and I got so many lovely comments about my dress.

All staff were professional and made me feel like I was a valued customer and that they genuinely wanted me to have the perfect wedding day. There is a wide range of dresses both for brides and bridesmaids to choose from which cater for every taste. I would have no hesitation in recommending brides by solo to any future bride.

An absolute dream

So sorry it’s taken me so long to get in contact, it was a busy end of the year. We had the BEST wedding day and I felt so beautiful. Jack was close to tears and loved my dress too. It was everything I ever hoped for. The whole wedding dress process was an absolute dream so thank you so much for making it everything I hoped it with be, regardless of my size.
Here are a few pics for you, and I will definitely be getting my dress cleaned with you.

Again thank you very much,

I wouldn't trust anyone else.

So sorry it has taken me a while to get around to this. We had an absolutely perfect day! I could not have asked for more. Sadie you played a real part in this, your advice and patience to ensure I had the right dress meant so much, thank you!
I have attached a few pictures, more than happy for you to share them. I tried to find some that show the dress off to its best. And one to show an extra special guest to my wedding….William the swan! He even joined n during the “does anyone know any just…..: his timing was perfect!
I want to bring the dress back for you to clean and box, I would not trust anyone else.

Would definitely recommend!

The team are so friendly here and I love the way they let me choose my dress. They gave myself, my mum and my bridesmaid the opportunity to walk around for 20 minutes and tag the dresses we like. We were able to try the dresses on in a quiet, intimate space and we had the shops full attention the whole time. They had a beautiful selection of boho dresses. We found the dress on the day and they have been really helpful ever since! Would definitely recommend!

A huge thank you.

I just wanted to send a brief (I will send some more pics and a proper review after the mini moon) message to say a huge thank you for all of your help with the dress.

I picked the dress for the venue, and hopefully you can see why from the below.

My mum will be bringing in the dress for your cleaning service if she hasn’t already been In. I would love if it can be restored to its former beauty, it didn’t get too bad however a guest did get red wine down the back sadly so I’m really hoping your team can work their magic to clean it and box it up nicely.

Thank you again

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart

I don't even know where to begin with thank you all for everything.

It's hard to believe a year ago I was in your shop and said "yes to the dress". Every step of the way you were all nothing but welcoming to me and my family. You all became part of my wedding journey with me. To think our journey together started with me entering a simple Facebook competition.

I started my wedding dress hunt with not a single idea of what I wanted and we sure did have fun trying on every style of dress I think possible. However, I came out with a clear idea of exactly what I wanted. From this day forward I had set my heart on one dress, one dress which was not in store, though in time it did come in. When I received the phone call to say the dress had arrived I was so eager to try it on. I knew as soon as I put it on it was the dress.

Once the dress was ordered and my dress arrived in store, the alterations were brilliant. My daughter loved coming to these sessions as she really did feel comfortable to be herself around you all.

I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping me find my perfect dress. I loved it then, when I wore it and even looking at it hanging in the bag!

I felt fantastic

We had a lovely day and I felt fantastic. Thanks so much for all your hard work in the boiling heat to make sure that the dress fitted perfectly.
I will recommend you to everyone and leave some feedback for you too.

Everything was perfect

Odette, you were fantastic and so helpful from the moment I first opened the door to your store. I had struggled with wedding dress shopping as I had a very fixed mindset of what I wanted; you opened my eyes to the most beautiful piece of clothing I have ever worn and encouraged me to try something a little different. I’m so glad you did. I felt amazing on my wedding day and received so many compliments on my dress. The way it fit, the detailing, everything was perfect. Thank you for taking your time with me and ensuring my dress was exactly what I wanted; I made a few adjustments to the dress to really make it ‘my own’ and your suggestions were brilliant - you clearly know what you’re doing! It is clear that you and your team love what you do and I will definitely be recommending you to others. Thanks again. X

Perfect wedding dress

I visited brides by solo to find my perfect wedding dress!
After choosing 9 or so dresses to try on I had my heart set on one dress. Before trying them on I was told to let them know what I did and didn't like about each one and to be specific, after trying them all on they went and found me 3 dresses I hadn't chosen to try on based on the feedback I had given about each dress.
The dress I chose ended up being the very last one I tried on, one they had chosen for me based on what I said and one that seeing it hung up I would never have picked it out myself, they really listened to me and were amazing at what they do!
My mum also found her dress here 26 years ago!
Thank you so much!??
