I had the very best time picking out my wedding dress during lockdown. Despite only being allowed one guest, Jess made every effort to make sure I could have my bridesmaids with me virtually. Jess listened to… what I wanted and recommended lots of dresses for me to try on until I found the perfect one. There’s lots of little touches that Stunning Bridal do which make the whole experience more special. After care was amazing too, they were in contact so I didn’t have to do any chasing, the dress fitting and alterations went smoothly, with the team explaining timelines and what

Donna and the team at Stunning Bridal were so helpful and kind throughout the process of buying my wedding dress. They made me feel completely at ease when trying on the gowns and during all of the fittings… that followed. I was so pleased with my dress - it was absolutely perfect, and I received many compliments on my wedding day about how well the dress fit me. My bridesmaid’s dress looked amazing as well; the colour matched the wedding theme perfectly and she felt so comfortable for the whole day. I cannot recommend this wonderful shop enough! Everyone was fantastic from beginning

You will not find a better wedding dress shop than stunning bridal! I visited quite a few other dress shops and I instantly fell in love with everything as soon as I walked through the door! Jess was so friendly and really listened to everything I was saying about the dresses I tried on. I ended up finding my dream dress and the best thing was that… it is made in house by the owner of the shop, this made it even more special. The shop itself is absolutely stunning and they have a large number of dresses to try on. They have so many extra little touches that make it all the more special and
