OUR LATEST REVIEWS…

KIRSTY

“Fairytale Bride gave me the best experience when it came to choosing my dream dress. Alison & Charlotte are the perfect duo to help any bride who is searching for their dress, they made me and my family feel very welcome. We all felt that they had lots of time for us and nothing was too much for them. I wouldn’t have found my dress if it wasn’t for these lovely people. I would highly recommend Fairytale Brides to anyone who is looking to feel comfortable and welcomed when picking their dress”.

JADE

“The most amazing bridal boutique!!! It’s lovely to have the whole shop to yourself and Alison & Charlotte are the loveliest most kind people to assist you in finding your dream dress. I went in not expecting to find my wedding dress but ended up ordering the most beautiful and unique dress!! Can’t wait for it to arrive for my fitting!!!”

CLAIRE

“Alison & Charlotte were the best. I saw the boutique on Instagram and fell in love. They made choosing a dress so easy and effortless and were so helpful had some great tips to share. I was so nervous beforehand as I wanted it to be right and as soon as I walked in the door my nerves disappeared… they made us feel like we were amongst friends. I would recommend Fairytale Bride to any lady who wants to find her dream dress, lovely experience and I came away buzzing with excitement”

MEGAN

…This was the second shop I went to and the difference in both boutiques was extremely noticeable.
As soon as I walked through the door Charlotte and Alison made me feel so at ease, which instantly made me relax and allowed me to have a more enjoyable experience
I was extremely apprehensive about trying on more wedding dresses as I’m so indecisive… Charlotte and Alison were anything but pushy and allowed me to take my time with the decision, which resulted in me finding my dream dress.
The communication throughout was also amazing, they were always on hand to answers any questions I have.
I can’t thank you both enough x

DAISY

Thank you so much for being a part of the journey!!!!

CHARLEY

I wish I could give Fairytale Bride more than 5 stars because they are amazing!! I visited last week and had a lovely wedding shopping experience with Alison and Charlotte. I didn’t know where to start when looking for my dress and I found their shop on Instagram and then became obsessed! Their dresses are incredible and so unique and as soon as I walked in the door, I felt so comfortable and my nerves disappeared. You also have the whole shop to yourself which is very personal and private which I loved. The ladies advice is second to none and I will forever recommend them. Such kind people who really care. Thank you ladies, cannot wait to see you again when my dress arrives!! Xxx

EMILY

Most lovely little boutique. The ladies were amazing and honest when trying on various dresses! I found my dress here and so happy with the service I’ve had so far. Looking forward to going back once my dress arrives!

MARTHA

I don’t have enough positive things to say about Alison and Charlotte, and Fairytale Bride! From the first enquiry message on Instagram they provided extensive information and answers my questions promptly. The little extra touches and communication go a very long way! Fairytale Bride was my first and only bridal dress shopping experience and I couldn’t be happier with the service, support, dress selection and the comprehensive aftercare. I am now so so so excited for my dress to be made and delivered. Thank you ladies, Martha x

TANYA

Alison and Charlotte were absolutely amazing from start to finish. This was the first shop I went to and it’s been a dream of mine ever since I saw the shop. The dresses were stunning, they took everything I said on board, I just couldn’t be more grateful for the help they gave. Such lovely people!
