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.

I would not recommend going to this bridal boutique. From the moment we walked in it was such a…read morehostile and tense environment. We were dealing with Leondra (to my surprise is the owner) she didn't know my name, didn't introduce herself, made me and mu guests feel very uncomfortable, and was no help whatsoever. When I showed her screen shots of dresses I liked and wanted to try she said "Sold", to basically my 3 favourite, but didn't suggest or recommend anything similar. I walked into the dressing room and she just said "Strip", I didn't get any privacy at all. After a couple dresses I was very upset, which was quite clear. I had tears in my eyes and nearly left after 20 minutes. I asked if we could have some Prosecco. She said she had none left, but I don't think she ever had any. I told my sister I was feeling very uncomfortable, she must of heard me because she tried to make small talk with me then in the dressing room, but it was too late at that stage. It was already too awkward and I was going to leave I was so upset. After that my guests jumped up and started doing her job (this is after she was so extremely rude to them), finding dresses to suit me better, getting a veil, creating a nice atmosphere. It took a while to build up my spirits again but luckily I had great people with me. My pregnant sister had to trouble her for a glass of water after an hour of sitting there. I have never met anyone so bad at their job. I found a nice dress my friend picked out for me and as soon as I left I started looking up any other boutique in Ireland with the same designer to avoid ever having to go back. I never leave reviews but I would hate for another bride to have the same experience. It really knocked my confidence and took any enjoyment out of the experience. I was booked into another place the next day and honesty had no interest in going, thankfully it was an incredible experience the next day with women who were great at their jobs and I found my dress. If you have already booked in here I recommend requesting a different person to help you, and bring a great bride tribe to defend you end up in a similar situation.

This shop has some of the most beautiful gowns that i have ever seen. The shop has a wide range of…read moregowns from wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses to formal dresses and communion dresses. The staff are extremely helpful and pleasant and are very willing to assist. The dresses are available to buy and there is also a wide range of dresses available to hire. The store carries a wide range of stock and is up to date with the latest fashions and styles. Appointments are not necessary and the shop is open 6 days a week. Definitely worth a look if looking for a nice dress.

Was here last Saturday for a bridesmaid fitting. Our appointment was for 4.30. When we got there,…read morewe had to wait a while to be seen by anyone. My friend was told she couldn't use the bathroom due to security reasons and was told to go to the resturant next door to use their facilities. The girl we were due to see 'Le-anne' wasn't there, we were told serveral times that she was at her own formal and they didn't know why the appointment was made so late in the day. The staff were very rude and unhelpful during our whole experience. They rushed us though the fitting because they were closing at 5 and were reluctant to make another appointment for a time and day that suited us because it didn't suit Le-anne. All in all we were disgusted with the way we were treated and the sheer rudeness of the staff and management involved.

Have to say was disapointed with my experience…read more.. My aunt was getting remarried and was eager to take me along gown hunting for moral support... stepping inside the shop I found it bright, spacious & well laid out. Rows of beautiful gowns hanging that would surely capture any brides heart - however the let down for me was the staff. Was greeted by a slightly older lady whom assuming I was the bride give me an "up/down" glance that indicated my size would be an issue. Once my aunt stepped in and informed her she was the bride an almost instant wave of relief seem to sweep over the lady. My aunt being a neat little size 12 seemed to fit the bill better than a plus size me. After explaining the budget/requirements the lady continiously pointed out gowns that were very heavily above budget - we were about to leave when I spotted an Ivory Bridesmaids gown & needless to say my aunt fell in love with it and was able to purchase it there and then. Otherwise we would have been leaving empty handed as the shop assistant really didn't guide the appointment well at all. Lovely gowns but unfortunately the staff let this bridal shop down heavily - wouln't reccomend it to others with this level of customer service. Parking also an issue.

I called in to this much talked about bridal boutique to pick up some ideas for my mum. As she is…read moregoing to be a mother of the bride very soon I wanted to get an idea of the range of sizes, colours and styles stocked here. The staff were friendly enough and they pointed out the new range and told me that there were bargains to be found in the older stock. Everything is just displayed together with all sizes on one rail. I would have found it easier of the dresses were arranged either in colour, style, designer or size. The lady informed me that we would not need an appointment and that they get new stock in all the time. I will call in here with my mum very soon and have another look - there is an order time of several months on some dresses so I would advise you call early if you are more particular. The dresses were lovely and staff pleasant. I will be back.

We went here to choose a wedding dress for my best pal, and we definitely experienced a better…read morequality of service at other bridal shops that day and the rest of that week. When choosing my own dress, I also went to other less 'sophisticated' places and were treated better and given more time and space to choose. We were ushered into the private dressing area, with the most gorgeous array of gowns lined up along the wall. The girl helping us was doing her best, but she was quite young and I didn't get the sense that she was confident enough to make suggestions and that she didn't read my friends personality - which I think good salespeople should be pros at. She didn't pick up on the fact that my friend was quite unsure of what she wanted, and was hoping for some suggestions. What I really didn't like was the order that we were only allowed to try on a certain number of gowns....I was really shocked. I had heard that some boutiques do that, but I wasn't expecting it here as the whole look of the place is very professional and glamorous. To be told you only have so many chances to find 'that dress' is very limiting and kind of bursts your bubble. I think anyone who is serious about finding thier dress will know if they've hit the end of the road, and they are hardly going to try on 20+ dresses are they? In other establishments we were offered tea and coffee, soft drinks and even champagne while we waited, but there was nothing like that here, and there was a real sense of a production line, with the next group of brides and bridesmaids waiting hot on your heels to get in. Gorgeous dresses, gorgeous shop. Could do better.

The lady who runs the store came into the shop I used to work in all the time and was a lovely woman, so I am sure that she endeavours to help each bride's dream of finding that perfect gown. I have never used the services here but know of friends who have had good experiences here. With bridal gowns from leading designers, including plus size brides, together with bridesmaids from award winning designers you will be sure to find that perfect gown. Deborah Rose also stocks a wide variety of accessories including veils, jewellery, tiaras, hair accessories, shoes and petticoats. Now all you ladies out there is get a man to want to marry you to justify coming here, or else you could be that stereotypical crazy lady who likes to drink on her own and go around the house in their future wedding dress!

It turned out to be the best idea we'd been given, because this bridal boutique is run by the nicest, most knowledgeable, approachable and helpful women you could meet. It's a small premises, but that only serves to make it feel intimate and inviting, and not at all daunting or pretentious, but a place that you can feel comfortable in - and it's stylishly decorated and tasteful too. My friend was given as much time as she needed to try on dresses, and unlike some other places, there was no limit as to how many she was allowed to try on. In the end she chose the most beautiful Augusta Jones dress that flattered and just made her look like a princess. I would definitely recommend Laboda as a place to look for that ideal dress - they are professional, helpful and really know thier stuff.

The girl i was dealing with had long dark hair and completely up her own backside (she didn't give me her name) she spent more time looking at herself and around her rather than pay attention to the one person she was supposed to! I am a normal size 14 and was made to feel like this place wasn't ''suited'' for me! when i asked about shapes of dresses the reply i got was''tha'ts pretty much all we do'' i couldn't believe the attitude i got from this place as i was a paying customer they should be grateful of anyone walking through the door especially when the items they could be potentially buying aren't exactly cheap!!! I found a gorgeous dress here and beautiful bridesmaids dresses and decided against buying them as i refused to give these arrogant people any money! i have 4 bridesmaids so therefore because of their attitude they have lost out on the guts of 3 grand!!! It has taken me a while to write this review as i was thinking they were maybe having an off day but upon discussions with other people, i have found this to be the service they are best at! I have also advised newly engaged friends to avoid this place at all costs as i would not want anyone else being made to feel the way i did walking out! THIS PLACE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SERVE THE PUBLIC!!!!!!!!!
