If you want an exceptional experience from start to finish this is the shop for you. I had no clue what I wanted for my dress (other than what I didn’t). I am getting married abroad and nothing was too much trouble, they packed my dress up in the suitcase I provided and took delicate care as if it was their own.

Allyson, Claire and Nicola were all lovely, helpful … and patient! They helped me to customise my dress with sequins, choose accessories and even did the alterations in house. In the end, I bought everything from them.

I just needed to say a massive thank you to the two lovely ladies from Brides of Ashby, from the moment I walked into the shop with no clue what I was doing or where to start, these lovely ladies made me feel right at ease.
