5 out of 5 doesnt even come close after the experience I had at Devlin Bridal Couture. After a previously bad experience at a different botique I was down and deflated. Annabel changed all that. She is the most genuine, kind heart. Caring lady I have met in a long time. The time and effort put into making me feel special and finding the perfect dress was amazing, not only that Annabel reminded me that I dont need to be ashamed of who i am and the size I am. We had lots of laughter and (happy) tears, an experience that I will remember forever. Annabel knows her dresses so well and I would

I can't say enough good things about Annabel and her shop - it was amazing. As a plus size bride I haven't had the best experiences shopping but this was amazing. Annabel and her team listened to me and showed me lots of options. They didn't rush me and it felt more like hanging with girlfriends.

They deserve so much more than 5 stars!!! Yesterday I went along for my first ever bridal shop visit, I went with the idea of simply trying a few dresses on to see if there was a style that would suit me as I had very little idea of where to start. I was nervous about finding a dress, as a larger size I was scared that I wouldn't be able to find a dress that wouldn't make me look like a beached whale. I walked in and the staff were incredible, straight away I was put at ease with everything. We talked about colours and styles and had fun exploring the different types of dresses, each time they

Well What can I say about these guys other than INCREDIBLE. They made myself (bride) and my mum feel totally at home from the moment we walked in. The shop is stunningly pretty and the little touches of drink and cakes being laid out was so kind. I had no idea what I wanted and they really kindly picked out some that (using their expert knowledge) they thought I might like. And off to the changing rooms we went. I am massively body conscious and the thought of dressing in front of a stranger terrified me however Fern made me feel so at ease and just talk and giggle out way through as she expertly

1st time bride, small on top and plenty of junk in my trunk. To say I was nervous and not looking forward to dress shopping is a total understatement. Would anything fit? would I look like a sausage? will I be able to afford anything? will the ladies in the shop understand my worries when even I wasn't able to voice them clearly? All questions that stuck in my head. I did not need to worry at all, Annabel and Fern were beyond friendly, welcoming and cheerful and immediately put me at ease. They listened, actually listened and boy did they deliver. Highly recommended these ladies and the shop. They

I was in search of a particular lazaro dress that didn't work out and so haven't purchased from this store...
However, I decided to leave a review as speaking with Annabel via email (who I believe is possibly the store owner) she was incredibly friendly and helpful. Recommending this store based on customer service - as it was top notch.
