Abbey Wedding Warehouse

If you're above a size 10 dont even attempt this store. This was so unprofessional and anyone who…read moreisnt as confident might leave in tears (as turns out many have, which I found out by speaking to other bridal stores who pick up the pieces of these poor brides after coming here) The shop is cramped and dirty! Multiple dresses were dirty or damaged! If im buying a new non second hand dress I expect it to be clean and not damanged! She will also request you take your shoes off and put on grotty slippers that match the grotty floors... No changing room youre just supposed to strip in the middle on the shop to try on. (I was mortified and so i kept my bra and vest top on) Not ideal. She quickly asked if we had the covid vaccine and told us we will die as a result, i thought she was going to refuse service because we are vaccinated. She also went on about 5 different conspiracy theory rants during the appointment (go put on your tinfoil hat my god) Back to the experience. She kept harping on about how her 30 something nephew would love me (im buying a wedding dress not speed dating so felt this was fairly in-appropriate). Anytime i mentioned my fiance she would pitch her nephew!!! This isnt speed dating im getting married! Anyways onto my size im 5,9/10 and broad, I used to power lift so have a decent amount of muscle. Im a uk 14/16 and was told she had very little that would fit me. I tried a few on, and the only one that fit have makeup stains and oil stains and had beads hanging off it, another dress had a massive 3/4 inch rip in it! I told her my high street size before arriving and at the appointment she told me she was sat their thinking about all my would be insecurities as a woman of my size would surely have and she was trying to plan how to hid the parts of me i hated about myself with a dress. She then kept commenting on how toned and not flabby i was! She was shocked a woman of my size wasnt fat apparently! She then referenced how plus sized brides tend to get bigger skirts to hide their bodies and it ends up making their a**es even bigger! She also spent so much time tearing down other women and went on a sizeable rant about girls being pumped with filler. (I feel bad for any women that feels she needs to pay to alter herself due to a lack of confidence but I dont not think tearing other women down to build yourself up is the right thing to do) She also couldnt be bothered to try and do the dresses up properly so when trying on they were all bunched up in weird places (is your job not to literally do that) In a dress i tried to test movability and dance-ability and one move she said 'Thats how those black women dance!' which again i thought was insanely in-appropriate. Her entire sales pitch is dont go to wed2b or wed4less as you wont find anything of quality. ... Well i went straight to those 'budget' stores as she called them found my dream dress and veil and had an amazing experience there! I went to 4 dress shops in total and this was by far the worst experience! I imagine shes bitter as she likely sees less foot fall due to them! She spent alot of time bashing how certain women dress, or what their bodies look like and spent even mpre time talking about how cheap her dresses were...i would not be paying 700/800 for a stained or ripped dress my god. Also we werent allowed to take any photos in store due to 'contracting issues' with designers?!
Abbey Wedding Warehouse has refrained from having a more grandiose name, such as 'Abbey Wedding…read morePalace', or anything that might evoke the sickly sweet Disney princess fantasy many brides to be seem keen to buy into...which I rather admire, as for most a wedding will not involve magical pumpkin-to-carriage transformation and fairy godmothers but instead may revolve around trying to scrape together sufficient cash to have a celebration to remember. That's where Abbey Wedding Warehouse comes in as they sell sample wedding dresses for a fraction of the price of non-sample equivalents. The shop has quite an old-fashioned look to it with a deep burgundy and cream exterior, a large door knocker and an archaic gold font for the sign. Dresses here appear to be a mix of simple traditional styles and notably vintage look pieces. They come in a very wide range of sizes and include bride's maid dresses for small children. If you're looking for a quality dress on a tight budget then you may just find a bargain here. Visits are by appointment only.

The lady who served us was sooooo friendly and genuine, which is hard to find sometimes when you're looking for brides and bridesmaid dresses. We ended up getting a lovely taffeta pinkish bridesmaid dress for me and my sister and they altered it (for more money) really well for me! They had some beautiful bride dresses as well, it's definately worth a look. They don't come cheap, but they look gorgeous and well you only live once!!

A good place to try on lots of dresses and grab a bargain!…read more This is a warehouse style wedding dress shop. You don't need an appointment, just turn up when they are open and ring the bell. You are given 4 rings and simply put them around the hangers of the dresses you like. You can then try on those 4 before going back out to choose another 4. The dresses are samples from shops so they generally only have 1 in each size and when they sell they are gone so be aware of this if you fall in love with one! It was moderately busy for 1130 on a Saturday. We got a changing room straight away though. One of the assistants helps you out when you get changed then she kindly suggested some dresses she thought would suit me as well and went to get them. They had some stunning things in my size. You are possibly a size bigger than normal here so beware when choosing! I could have happily bought 2 of the ones I tried on. The lady also helped me try on matching veils. Again I can't wait to go back and try on more dresses here.
The Bridal Path

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!!!
Kiss The Bride
Now I'm really not a wedding kind of person and I had the most low-key event possible when I got…read moremarried (i.e. I went to the registry office and that was that!) so I was a bit underwhelmed when my stressed out friend asked me to help choose her dress at Kiss The Bride. I expected rather snotty salespeople trying to flog us the expensive options but I couldn't have been more wrong The ladies who run Kiss The Bride (three generations of the same family) are incredibly kind and lovely people. They are so down-to-earth that it's impossible not to relax in their shop. They even 'counselled' my friend until she forgot all her troubles and supplied us with welcome cups of tea. They did have some strikingly pretty dresses - even though I don't go for that kind of thing - and the prices were very good indeed. They really seemed to care about every aspect of my friend's wedding and I hope they can manage to keep up that level of customer service without wearing themselves out because I expect they are going to be a very popular shop! Finally, they offer an extra service: pipers for your wedding, which is well worth booking. One of the ladies is an ace bagpipe player and will turn up and play for you with her equally talented friend.
