I've had better experiences in bridal boutiques…read more I'd noticed this shop a few times and as a bride to be I was keen to go in for a look around at the shoes and hair accessories. I parked up outside and was able to dander in. The door wasn't locked so there was no reason for me not to go in. Upon entering I noticed a few people at the cash desk to whom I said hello and made my way to the cabinets displaying all the bridal bits and bobs. The shop assistant excused herself from her clients and came over to me and asked if I was OK, I explained that I was just having a look at the shoes and that to which she replied that I should make an appointment as she was busy. I WAS JUST LOOKING! She then handed me a business card and told me I could make an appointment over the phone. Basically, I got the feeling that I was being asked to leave. I don't understand, I was just looking and the doors were open to the public. I get it that most bridal houses make you have an appointment but if they don't want folk walking in to look at their display cabinets they should lock the bloomin' doors. Nice hair pieces and jewellery but not a very welcoming environment. Like I always say though, maybe it was just bad timing on my part or maybe they were having a bad day or maybe the service is so personal that a stranger is not even allowed within earshot of each bride to be - I dunno. I'll get my accessories from somewhere else.

I visited this boutique with my friend who is getting married and have to say it was a very…read morepleasant place to be in. The staff were very helpful and they looked after not only my friend but me aswell. The range of gowns was plentyful and the quality of them was excellent. Their prices seemed to be not out of reach for the ordinary girl and the boutique it'self was very clean and tidy. I looked at both previous reviews and couldn't understand the negative review, as Bliss have a notice on their door saying BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, which is also recommended on their website. When I'm ready for the big day I shall be paying a visist to Bliss to look for my gown as I had such a nice experience there.

Have had a fab experience with this shop! Have my dress...it actually arrived early. The lady was…read morelovely and very helpful. Not pushy in any way. They also do a wee offer where you get £100 to spend in the shop if you buy the dress on the first look. I did because I had tried it on in another shop which I refused to buy from. I therefore got my necklace, earings and head piece for £35 which was great. Priced the dress I wanted in a few shops before I bought, Angel Star were not any more expensive, in fact cheaper than McElhiney's in Donegal. Agree with AngelDeb, there are no on site alterations which is not great but she did recommend a lady nearby who has been in the business for 30 odd years and seems very professional. Go out of your way to visit this shop!

Angel Star is a bridal and formal wear shop in Carrickfergus. It's easy to find, as it's just…read moreacross the road from the Castle (and thus from a large free car park). It has a special bridal room, which is well lit with natural light. The staff are knowledgable and helpful. The selection of dresses is broad, without being completely overwhelming. They also have a good range of bridesmaid dresses.The two cons would be that they are quite expensive, and that they don't do alterations on site - you need to take your dresses elsewhere. I haven't received my dresses yet, so will update this when I do - but happy with the service I received to date!

I first heard of the Zip Yard because a man on a bright yellow bike nearly knocked me down in…read moreBelfast city center. He was handing out leaflets about a place called The Zip Yard and I was immediately intrigued. I hate our throwaway society and think who ever came up with this idea is an amazing person. Everyone has a broken zip or a rip that they actually can't mend themselves or haven't got round to it. The Zip Yard is the answer. Just take your injured clothing into your local franchise store and they will do all they can for you. You can use the express service for minor jobs such as zips or minor repairs or they will amend dresses or even curtains for a few quid and in only a few days. You can go behind the curtains and get get fitted by the ladies who work there. In the Newtownards branch there is a very friendly man who will talk you through whatever needs done. I bought in an old curtain to get converted into a roof storage compartment for my van - he quoted me £20 which I thought was really reasonable and said it would take a few days. I was very impressed and will get back to him soon. Great for rips and repairs - a wonderful idea!

Brought in a coat with a broken zipper. They replaced it and had it ready for me the next day!read more
