My appointment with Jess was a fantastic experience. The boutique itself is lovely and private and has a great selection of dresses without being too overwhelming. As soon as we arrived we were offered fizz and made to feel welcome. Jess was wonderful: she had taken a look through my pre-appointment form and had some initial suggestions for dresses to try on based on my answers and was so helpful throughout.

I had the most fabulous time finding my wedding dress here. Lucy is just so lovely and was so helpful in picking out dresses to try, getting them on just right and helping me narrow down my decision, being so so patient until I was 100% settled on "the one"! I'm so happy with my choice and cannot wait to receive my dress! Lucy and her fabulous shop made the whole process a dream!

I found my dress with Lucy at Brides of Berkhamsted almost 2 years ago and finally got to wear it down the aisle this summer. I was so thrilled with it and Im gutted to not be able to wear it again!! Lucy was beyond helpful and welcoming and the team put me at ease completely. The experience compared to other boutiques in the area was chalk and cheese and Im so glad to have found BoB. Thank you all! Ill be forever recommending you to friends!

Absolutely brilliant, personalised experience. Carol was really lovely and patient. She had picked out some styles that matched what I was looking for and also dresses that would compliment the venue. Everyone was very accommodating and made me feel at ease - my 3 year old niece was extremely satisfied with her packet of goodies! Thank you so much for your help in picking out my wedding dress - can't wait to wear it on my wedding day!!!

My first visit to Brides of Berkhamsted was the first time I felt like a bride. From the minute I walked in the ladies made me feel so comfortable and before I arrived they had taken the time to look up my venue as it was a new one for them being in Scotland! As they selected dresses for me to try they asked questions about my future husband, lifestyle, interests and made sure the dresses were comfortable for me. They listened carefully the whole time. They had wonderful ideas for small adjustments/ enhancements/ accessories I could choose or make to personalise the dress and let me come back for
