I first visited a few weeks ago and was looked after by the lovely Kate, I tried on lots of styles and fell in love with 2. There was no pressure to decide and Kate arranged a follow up appointment for me today so that i could have a think before going back to try the 2 again today. I decided on the one today I was nervous about finding my dress but It was made so easy here and the boutique is stunning

Just purchased my wedding dress from Emma Louise bridal and I can honestly say it has been one of the best shopping experiences I've had. My consultant Alice made me feel very comfortable throughout, listened carefully to my needs and suggested dresses to cater to my budget and style. Very helpful with measurements and considering the best size for me and made purchasing the dress an enjoyable and unstressful experience. Would highly recommend Emma Louise Bridal. A lovely shop and a great experience .

As a bride to be, I cannot recommend Emma Louise Bridal enough! I had no idea what type of dress I was looking for and thankfully, Alice was really helpful (and patient!) when trying on the many styles that they have! I narrowed it down to one dress and went away to think about it! I then went back for another appointment, this time assisted by Kate, and said yes to the dress! Kate was so helpful with the choosing of accessories too, adding extra sparkle to my dress! I would highly recommend Emma Louise Bridal to all brides to be, it's such a lovely boutique and the staff genuinely care for

I recently bought my dress from Emma Louise Bridal, we had a lovely first visit where Emma listened to what I wanted and found me my dream dress! I was really excited when I got the call that my dress had arrived in the shop 6 months later. When your dress arrives you are asked to book an accessories appointment within 7 days of the dress arriving which I thought was quite quick however I didn't mind as I was so excited to see my dress again. When I put the dress on there were no straps and so it didn't look or feel like the dress i picked, which instantly panicked me. I asked about the straps
