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.

So after going through some changes recently I decided to finally treat myself coming here. I had…read moreno corset experience whatsoever..however my friend had bought one here last year so I did have a price budget in mind. Stepping in I felt at home..awesome vintage lacy apparel lay at the front.. to the back were two rails of corsets. Behind the till sat Lynn the manageress and a colleague. It was quite late and I was straight to the point..I want a over bust corset please!! She asked if I had one before I shook my head..she immediately whipped out the tape measure and discussed my options. I tried on the only 23" corset on in the shop as a guide and before I knew it was choosing the colour and material etc. After leaving a deposit she instructed me too look at Urban Threads for my embroidery piece while the rest got made. Communications within those two weeks were consistent and I went for a fitting. Everything was perfect and she helped me decide on the lace .. Within another week and it was complete..the fit was amazing and quality was perfect.. on the way out I spotted a waspie which I had to also buy! If you are a corset virgin come Here! The average corset is £200 made to measure but it's steel boning and silk . Lynn is also so very helpful and even showed me how to lace myself up..if you are thinking of a corset come here as it's important to get a proper fitting one!

The staff are lovely, very knowledgeable when it comes to fashion. You can pop in for a browse and a chat, no pressure to buy which is nice. My friend owns quite a few custom made pieces from this boutique and each one fits like a glove. The corsets are top quality and beat any 'waist trainer' out there. They often exhibit their designs at Sexhibition and dress quite a few professional burlesque/alternative models and artists. Check out @kikucorsets on instagram for pictures.

I am not a someone who plans things to a fine art, who has dreamed of a perfect day with every detail mapped out in my head. In fact I am something of a rubbish bride to be. The whole thing just seems far too much stress and effort to me. Don't get me wrong I want a wedding. I will probably go for the big white wedding option but I want it as hassle free as possible. I thought I would take the plunge and try look inside a bridal shop and Stella's was fantastic. The whole place is immaculate and air-conditioned. The dresses are beautifully cut and are made with the most luxurious fabrics with unbelievable detail. As I have nothing to compare this shop too I realise may have been overly impressed but the owner made me feels sooo special and for the first time I thought the whole wedding day business might not be horrendous after all. In fact I am truly looking forward to it now and may go back to try a couple of dresses on in the not too distant future!

If I need to buy a wedding dress at any point in the future (although highly unlikely) this would be my first point of call. Apart from the stunning tulle creations and the Grace Kelly-inspired full gowns, it's the the silk shift dresses in here that have caught my eye from time to time when walking past. Inside, the items that fascinate me the most are the hair pieces, being a a designer who produces such pieces herself. They stock Rosie Willett hair flowers as well as Flo & Percy diamante clips and tiaras. A great alternative to the dated net veil, ugh.

If like me you are trying to find a wedding dress that isn't like the other 100,000 dresess that are styled the same, then make an appoinmtent. I would also recommend you contact their very helpful sales assistant beforehand. You don't have a go to London to find style! Best wishes for the future Whitecloset

I'd come across Celebration Village on the Internet a few times, I knew it was just outside Manchester city centre but I'd never found the time to go over there. However today the pressure all got a bit too much and I went on a mad dress hunt!!! First stop, Celebration Village. It wasn't too far away actually just behind the MEN Arena. I wandered over today quite late on to find the store very empty, just a few sales assistants hanging around but nobody jumped on us as soon as we walked in which was a nice change. This store is huge, I mean massive! Tons and tons of choice, if you have any special occasions coming up I strongly advise you to pay this shop a visit! Absolutely amazing dresses for all occasions. The shop assistant was very very friendly and helpful, not only helping me try on dresses, full on encouraging me to because she wanted to see how they looked! She also offered to have the dress fitted to my size a little better and have it taken up too! Really couldn't fault the service. Prices were not too extreme, hire costs were very reasonable and a lot of the dresses to buy were very low prices too.
