    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.

    This is under a refurbishment at the moment but I thought that I would review it anyway…read more Everyone loves a wedding. Even the boys. And what I love about a wedding is the dresses. Yes, dressing up in a gown you will probably only wear once but still feel a million dollars! For the bride, it is something different, the dress has to be perfect in every way. It should fall right and make you look beautiful. Most do. But here you will never EVER be disappointed by a dress. I mean it! As you can tell by the name it is a boutique shop and holds some of the most classic dresses ever! I go in here all the time just so I can have a look at them. They have recently started stocking Hollywood dream gowns and o my word! Big, dramatic and fairy tale is all I can describe these dresses. So if you are in need of a wedding dress and need some serious help, look at their website.

    It was my first visit to blush and it was a great experience couldn't fault anything…read more The staff were all really friendly and helpfull they couldn't do enough for me. We were given a glass of bucks fizz on arrival which was a nice touch. Then I looked round the shop they has so much choice, it was even harder as they had a special event on with the new collection. I tried on about 10 dresses and a couple of them twice and nothing was too much trouble. I was in there well over my allocated slot and they wasn't rushing me out. I finally found my dream dress cannot wait for the big day now. Highly reccomend if your looking forward dress fantastic shop and staff.
