Our bride loved it so much she said yes!

We loved our visit to 130 Atelier! As a part of the bridal party you were made to feel welcome and a part of the bride's dress shopping experience, fun was had playing with the different additions you can add to the dress. The shop is beautiful and the stage and mirrors are the perfect place to show off the dress! Our bride loved it so much she said yes to the dress and we cant wait to go back again for dress fittings. Sophie is friendly and knowledgeable and has a real eye for what dress suits yourself and also your wedding style.

After one appointment she’d changed everything!

Sophie is absolutely incredible! She’s like your best friend! I’d been shopping everywhere as was feeling so disheartened, I stumbled across Sophie at a wedding fair and after one appointment she’d changed everything! I’ve got a gorgeous dress and some extra special treats. I can’t wait to get married!! 💍

Sophie was really helpful and knowledgeable

I went to 130 Atelier as part of the bridal party and Sophie and her mum were so welcoming to all of us. Sophie was really helpful and knowledgeable about the dresses and what might be perfect for my friend. Super responsive to suggestions and questions about modifications to make the dress totally unique. Beautiful dresses and accessories!

within an hour I had 2 perfect dresses ordered

Sophie made my life so easy. Before I arrived she had picked out the most amazing dresses, within an hour I had 2 perfect dresses ordered ready for the big day. I never thought getting a dress would be this straight forward and so fun at the same time!! Thank you for everything Sophie!

The shop was such a lovely atmosphere

I absolutely loved my experience here. Sometimes it’s the little things like a congratulations message on a mirror. Sophie was extremely friendly and helpful. She took on every thought I had on what wedding dress I wanted and I have found a perfect one. Myself and friends felt extremely comfortable there and had a laugh. The shop was such a lovely atmosphere and I’m so happy I chose there than any others. It’s a special time and you want a personal and lovely experience which is exactly what I got. Thank you, Sophie

went above + beyond to make my sister feel special

My family had the best time shopping for my sisters wedding dress at 130 Atelier, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The atmosphere in the shop is light and dreamy. Sophie and her lovely mum went above and beyond to make my sister feel special and make the day a wonderful memory for all of us. Every dress Sophie had selected for my sister were stunning, some styles which my sister had imagined she’d want and others that we weren’t expecting yet turned out to be the dress! Sophie made the experience feel so personalised to my sister, it was amazing. Thank you both so much for your time and expertise!

You get a truly consultative service here

I discovered 130 Atelier after meeting Sophie at her stand at a recent wedding fair. I was struck by how friendly and professional Sophie was as she took the time to get to know me, my style and find out about my wedding day. The gowns Sophie had to look at on that day were also beautiful and stylish. I was thrilled to book an appointment at her boutique. There is something very special about the vibe in 130 Atelier. Sophie and her mum were so welcoming to both me and my guests which included my Mum and one of my bridesmaids. It was the first time I felt like a bride to be! Prior to my appointment Sophie had kept in touch and sent me a questionnaire to fill in to get a clearer idea of the kind of dress I was looking for. You get a truly consultative service here, Sophie is very knowledgeable and great at what she does. The gowns Sophie picked for me to try on were all wonderful and I ended up saying yes to my dress :-) The dress I chose is unlike any I have seen before, it is timeless and perfect for me. Sophie had really listened and understood me. I felt both special in my gown and also like myself, which isn't an easy thing to find! I love it and I can't wait to wear it again! The little extras provided by Sophie also show how much she cares about her brides and wants to create a memorable experience for us. Highly recommended. Thank you xx

I found my dream dress

The variety and choice here is brilliant! I was unsure of what I wanted, and the option to try on so many different styles, all in one place, made the experience so much easier! I found my dream dress and I cannot wait to wear it! Sophie was so lovely and made me feel so special throughout the whole process, and she was full of insider knowledge when I asked for advise, which clearly proves she knows her stuff!! Cannot recommend enough - get booked in

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

My first ever bride, my dear friend’s Charlotte and Shaun. Charlotte is a university pal and was my first customer, she fell in love with the first dress I chose for her! Epic NYC vibes running throughout the wedding, as they got hitched a few years ago in the big apple!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Luxe, alternative, chic, modern, chilled

What about your business are you most proud of?

My inclusivity. From day dot I wanted to celebrate women of all sizes as everyBODY is different. Your wedding dress should fit you, not the other way around.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Set up a “big” to do list with all of your jobs / wishes for the wedding. Then cut that down into more sizeable, monthly goals. Giving yourself time means that you can have a month off wedding planning. Sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming, but with planning ahead you can give yourself a care free break - with a date night or two!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

A Polaroid guestbook - it was ace!! We could sign our name / put a message on the back - everyone loved it!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

For a 130 Atelier bride I want to bring her knowledge, reassurance and confidence. And this starts before my bride walks through the shop door, she usually finds my Instagram! Having picked up on her style through the quiz she has completed via my website, no time is wasted when she comes to have her personal shopping experience. I want her to be inspired - I love seeing the initial reactions to the gowns I have hand picked for the bride to try. My bride and her two guests are welcomed with a glass of cold pink lemonade, they have the whole boutique to themselves. Upon saying “yes” brides receive a gift from me and pictures in front of the “boomerang wall” with their swag bag full of information with what to expect next. I have seamstresses based in Manchester that I recommend to my brides. They have worked in bridal boutiques and now run their own businesses for nearly 2 decades. I adore seeing my brides come in for their second appointment to meet their wedding dress for the first time. It’s so ace reading their reviews and receiving a snap of the wedding day! My contact doesn’t finish once they say yes - I am still helping brides who are styling their look with their wedding next month!

What do you love most about your job?

Meeting my excited brides in real life and seeing that moment where they fall in love with their wedding dress. It always gets me misty eyed!!

What is your favourite style of wedding dress?

It’s like picking your favourite child!! Currently it’s fit and Flare - I love brides that pair our overskirt with a fitted look. Everybody loves a two in one dress!!

What is the best way to incorporate "Something Blue" into the wedding outfit?

It can vary, I have seen it done with hair accessories, flowers, a stitched blue note in the dress, shoes or even the dress itself!!

What is your favourite wedding dress of all time?

I adored Meghan Markle’s second dress by Stella McCartney. Both were timeless, the Givenchy neckline of the first dress was so dreamy but the second look just pipped Givenchy for me!
