Ava May Bridal is quite simply, the friendliest, most inviting and all inclusive bridal shop you will ever come across - a bold claim but one that we 100% believe! We believe that every bride deserves to feel like the ONLY bride, and as such we try our very best to accommodate every bride that walks through our doors, regardless of their age, race, size, sexuality, religion or even budget! We're not in the business of being pushy salespeople and believe that as it's one of the biggest decisions you'll make, it shouldn't be rushed. We're not there just to bully you into buying the first dress you 'like' - we're there to help you feel like the amazing woman you are! We 100% want our brides to be a part of our Ava May family and so our service doesn't stop at the door. We are here for you before, during and after - and will offer as much help and support as we can, always. We have off the rack gowns that start at £400 and can be taken away the same day, right through to custom order official Disney Fairy Tale Weddings gowns that range from £1300-£4600. And we have everything in between too! We have over 150 gowns in store ready and waiting for you to fall in love all over again and we stock some of the industry's best - and most reliable - designers. We are open fully with 5 days having set opening hours and 2 days that are bookable by appointment only - but don't let that put you off! We only live a short distance from the shop and are always willing to do last minute appointments so never worry about contacting us 'out of hours!' In life we tell people never to settle for anything less than the best - so why would you on your wedding day?! Go and try some other stores and then come to us ladies, so we can really make you feel how you deserve to - like the ONLY bride in the world! And if its sounds too good to be true - please feel free to go and check out our reviews and see what our customers think too! Lots of love and we hope to see you soon! xXx
Message from the team
Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
My bride Kat who was due to get married NYE 2020 but got delayed to 2021 due to Covid. She bought one of my all time favourite gowns and had the most stunning wedding ever!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Glamorous, sophisticated, elegant, boho, timeless
What about your business are you most proud of?
Our warmth and caring towards all of our customers.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Do what's right for you - not everyone else. It's supposed to be YOUR day after all! :-)
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
My seamstress quite often hides precious items in the brides dress so that she can feel like she has a lost loved one with her. My favourite was a lost ones hanky that was sewn into the shape of a Robin on the brides train. It sounds a bit strange but it was absolutely beautiful!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
We always do an initial consultation with the bride and her entourage at the start of every appointment. It allows us to get to know the bride, her like and dislikes and also helps them get to know us more too. It's a great way to break the ice and to start building a relationship that we hope will last until after the wedding at least! (Although some of our brides still pop in for a coffee now, years after their wedding - which we love!)
What do you love most about your job?
The stories the brides share with me!
What is your favourite style of wedding dress?
Any that makes you feel beautiful of course!
What is the best way to incorporate "Something Blue" into the wedding outfit?
We sew a blue thread into the lining if a bride wants us to, of if they want something even more traditional, we advise on a garter with a blue element in it.
What is your favourite wedding dress of all time?
Elevated Jasmine from the 2021 Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Collection - it's breathtaking and looks beautiful on everyone who puts it on regardless of their shape, size, colour, age, everything! It's just perfect!
