Laura Loves Bridal - née Brides of Winchester

I was made to feel special from the minute I stepped through the door at Brides of Winchester. The sales assistant gave just the right amount of guidance as we looked through some of the dresses and discussed what I liked and disliked, and she made helpful suggestions. When I couldn't find a dress that was entirely as I wanted, the assistant helped me liaise with the dress designer to create my perfect dress. The whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable.

The team helped me immensely! I had a baby 18 weeks before the wedding and they communicated with the designer to make sure I would have plenty of time to lose the baby weight and still have a fabulous dress. I adored the dress as soon as I saw it and when Laura added the belt, I had to say yes. They were patient when the dress had to be taken in twice close to the day and I was worried it wouldn't fit but they assured me it would...and it did! BOW are fabulous, especially with a pregnant bride!

The entire experience from start to finish was seamless and fun! Everyone's professionalism, honesty and kindness all added to my wedding and dress fitting feeling like the most special event of my life! I feel so lucky to have had the dress experience that I did. A holistic and end to end fantastic service!

I costed many other bridal shops including designers in London and this is hands down the best shop I visited. It is presented so beautifully and the staff are lovely and attentive. You feel like a princess walking in there and trying on all the dresses. The dress which I finally chose was picked out for me by the staff in the shop. They all have such a good eye and from talking to you they get a good idea of you personal style and know what will suit you.

I went to over 50 bridal shops looking for my gown. I actually found the shopping process quite underwhelming until I found BOW. They were the only shop to be really up together, helpful, offered drinks, had a wonderful seating area for the family and they just made the experience really special - as it should be. Hayley, from BOW, actually chose my dress. It was everything I didn't want but when I tried it on I loved it. They really know what will suit people. BOW were a JOY

I loved every expereince I had with brides of Winchester and after having an operation and having to put my final fitting back they helped and reassured me the whole time. I am so glad I went to them and would recommend them to every bride Laura and Hayley are amazing people!

I had a lovely experience looking for my dress at BOW. Before my appointment I was asked lots of questions for the team to prepare for the appointment. On the day I was blown away by beautiful dresses I tried so many on. I almost forgot to try on the one picked out for me based on my question answers.. I tried this one on last and it's the one I chose! I was so impressed

As soon as I walked into Brides of Winchester I was greeted with smiles and made to feel so relaxed and confident. The staff were fabulous, good fun and so knowledgeable. My fittings went smoothly and I was made to feel so special every step of the way. Brides of Winchester helped me find my dream dress which just added to the perfectness of my wedding day. A very special shop!

Brides of Winchester were excellent in helping me choose a gown for my wedding. They guided me through the process with professionalism and enthusiasm and were attentive and responsive to my feedback regarding my likes and dislikes. They provided me with advice where appropriate whilst allowing me the autonomy to alter elements of the dress. The seamstress did a fastastic job with the alterations and the dress fit perfectly. I am forever grateful for all their hard work.

It is hard to do justice to this boutique in only 500 characters. Everything about them is simply exceptional. Their warm welcoming manner, their huge bank of knowledge on all things weddings and gowns, their sheer enthusiasm towards me which made it feel as though they were my own friends excited about my day, their selection of stunning dresses, their wonderfully talented seamstress, and the attitude that nothing is too much trouble. Simply the best. And I visited a LOT of other boutiques.
