I bought my dress with The South Manchester Bridal Company in April 2009. The staff are very…read morefriendly and helpful. The dresses are made to measure by an in-house designer so you won't find many brides with the same dress as you! The dresses are affordable and very good quality. I got the dress in about 10 weeks and didn't need any alternations. My wedding dress even more beautiful that I expected it to be, so I was very pleased with the whole experience. Everybody loved the dress at my wedding! I really recommend this small but very good shop.

In addition the charges for extra altrations were a waste of money as nothing actually changed! the day before the wedding i had to get someone else to do it. All in all a nice shop but they've got real problems with consistency in alterations and quality issues with there suppliers. I've heard some good reviews for this place too so there is obvious inconsistency with service but would you risk it for your wedding day? my day went great but in the back of my mind i always had the dissapointment that my dress wasnt how it should have been.

Very helpful in assessing the dresses you try on which are based on your score of dress, they listen to reasons for score and suggest other dresses to try on. They picked out my perfect dress in this way. My advice would be make an appointment as they seem to be very busy, always a good sign. Lots of thank you cards in the shop from happy customers. I've no hesitation in recommending a visit here.

For any newly engaged brides to be I cannot recommend the girls at the bridal path in Altrincham…read morehighly enough! Today was my first and only shopping experience for my wedding dress, and I wanted the perfect dress. I went in with an idea of the dress I wanted and the bridal path stocked it, I tried it on and fell in love. However Amy (the lady in the bridal boutique) said I should try on others I might surprise myself. Boy was she right, I tried on dresses I thought I would dislike massively and they soon became the front runner. I then was undecided with two types of dresses and the girls came up with a "wildcard" as they called it. At this point I thought I don't know what I like I'm going to have to think about it. Well the wildcard won me over I felt like such a princess and it's the most perfect dress ever! I ordered it there and then and honestly cannot fault any part of the experience. The girls treat you so personally, they aren't pushy and couldn't be more friendly if they tried! I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough, I will be going back to look for the bridesmaids dresses there!!! Thanks again girls!!!

When a friend announced that she was engaged and wanted me to be her bridesmaid it was the first place that came to mind to start trying on wedding and bridesmaid dresses. I phoned the shop, made an appointment, and we went along a few days later. The shop appears to be very small. Menswear is situated downstairs, which I obviously didn't go in. After climbing a steep set of stairs you enter the ladies section. The first thing that strikes you is the sheer amount of dresses lining the walls of the shop. It is a bit daunting at first but the staff are on hand straight away to help you if you need it, or they will leave you to browse if you prefer that. The staff are very friendly and are happy to assist you in picking out dresses to try on. They happily take any dresses you like off the rails and transport them to the fitting rooms to try on when you are ready. The wedding dresses are extremely varied. They have a multitude of styles and colours to suit all tastes. The range of bridesmaid dresses is smaller but again, they have a good range of styles and colours to try on, and are happy to explain the various colour and size options available for each dress. The main fitting area is spacious, with two fitting rooms, very suitable for 2 or more people who are wanting to try dresses on at once. When trying on dresses the staff are extremely helpful and will assist you with getting dresses on and pinning them in place when the size is not suitable. They are able to suggest accessories to go with the dress you try on, such as tiara's and veils, to complete the look. The staff make a fuss of you and really do make the experience enjoyable. They like to chat about the Bride's wedding plans and seem genuinely interested. They certainly don't pressure you into buying something straight away as they understand the importance of finding the perfect dress for you and not rushing into anything. We ended up purchasing the brides dress from there, and as they then offered discount on bridesmaid dresses we went back and bought them too.

myself and my wife purchased a dress from this shop for our wedding. that was the biggest mistake…read moreof our wedding. the untold problems this shop has caused us is unbelievable. when complaining i asked to speak to the owner or a manager, i was told he was busy and didn't want to speak to me. i insisted i spoke to him after an hour of complaining he eventually spoke to me and asked for us to come back to the shop in a few days. as the alterations that we had paid for haddnt been done. we live in bristol so couldn't. but he was adamant that it wasn't his shops fault that the alterations that we had paid for hadn't been done. all i was offered was £20 back. when my wife tried the dress on for the final time, two buttons fell off, the sides were unequally taken in, the length was cut at different lengths. they had put random stitches in silly places bunching the netting. we had to pay over £200 to get the alterations that we had paid them to do luckily we found a great dress maker who undid what Brides of Liverpool ruined and fitted the dress properly. this shop truly gave my wife the worst customer services ever. never never go with them

Tiny, adorable wedding dress shop where they hand make the dresses!…read more During a day of intense wedding dress shopping this newish shop in Sale was recommended to us by another shop in Didsbury. We turned up without an appointment and they kindly squeezed us in. There is a smaller choice of dresses than a lot of other places but they are all gorgeous. The inside reminded me of Alice in Wonderland with lovely furniture and accessories everywhere. The lady who owns it makes the dresses and I was so happy and excited to see the 'made in manchester' tags on everything. They also have some really lovely shoes, veils and vintage style headbands to choose from. I tried on about 5 dresses and they were all lovely. They literally make the dress to tie measurements rather than you ordering a size and getting it adjusted. The prices are average for wedding dresses (£1200-1400 for the one I liked). The lead time is around 5,5 months at the moment to get a dress made. The lady who helped us was so friendly and really made the experience wonderful. I can't sit to go with a proper appointment to try on more dresses.

The shop where I bought my wedding dress so of course a 5 star review!…read more I went to so many wedding dress shops I started to give up hope of finding just the right dress. However after being tired off about this shop we headed out here to see what it had to offer. The shop is near Warrington but a little further on. It's a good size and very discreet and private. Some places I went to were so small people could loom in the window and see you trying on the dresses which I didn't like. The staff are absolutely lovely and so helpful. They worked to my budget and didn't rush us like other places did. They have a great range of dresses to suit all budgets. At the back there is a huge range of sample dresses if you don't want to spend a couple of mortgage payments on a dress. They also have lots of head pieces and veils so you can try a whole outfit if you wish. I ended up buying a dress, veil and head piece for a great price and it was THE perfect dress. Highly highly recommended f you are after a dress. So much choice and the best customer service.

They also have accessories and dresses for proms. As my boyfriend will tell you, desperate brides travel miles to find the right dresses. Here they are beautiful and sophisticated with designs from Raylia, Justin Alexander and Veromia. Don't turn up on a Monday as you will find the shutters down. On a Thursday evening they are open late, well, later anyway and you can have a glass of wine although it doesn't look as if they are a licenced premises. They were offering a free tiara with every bridal gown and its worth asking if this is still the case. Don't get a ticket, use the car park at the back.
