Susanne was absolutely wonderful, she opened last minute to help my aunt. She instantly understood what my aunt was after and was brilliant at suggesting and guiding her. Enormous selection of gowns, such a lovely environment and fabulous manner. If wedding dresses were something you bought regularly we'd definitely be back all the time!

I bought my dress in Feb 2019 after a lovely in store experience - they made me feel very comfortable, and went out of their way to help me find the perfect gown. Following purchase I had one round of fitting in November 2019. In December I was diagnosed with a condition that causes extreme bloating and meant the dress no longer fit following food. They managed to squeeze me in for a final fitting a fortnight before the wedding, with final collection the week before to ensure the best fit possible - and it does, beautifully. I can't praise their seamstress Krystyna highly enough, she has done impeccable

I bought my wedding dress from this shop - travelled all the way from south Wales but it was so worth it! Other places I had visited had no privacy and felt like I was on a conveyor belt. At cutting edge me my mum and my bridesmaids had the place to ourselves and I got to try on lots of dresses before finding the perfect one. The staff were all lovely and very patient with me! The dress itself was so comfortable and elegant on the day, everyone commented on how the 50s style dress really suited the rustic venue. I was able to run around and greet guests with ease whilst still looking bridal! Can

When I went to cutting edge brides I was a bit weary as I'd had a really bad experience in another shop. Jaimie made me feel so welcome and settled my nerves straight away. We tried on the dresses that I wanted and there this pretty little one that I thought wouldn't suit. She told me to try it on anyway and I instantly fell in love. I told her that my dream was to have a red wedding dress and she made it happen! I chose the Emily dress from Rita Mae. Thank you to all who made my dream come true, I was so overwhelmed with compliments from everyone on the day! Couldn't recommend this shop enough
