PERFECT! I can’t recommend or praise Ashleigh Richards Bridal enough. Lovely friendly lady’s that work there so welcoming and make it an amazing experience for me and my bridal party. Fabulous choice in lots of dresses lots of sizes and styles. I am tall and curvy and was worrying if I would find the dress of my dreams. Not only did they put my mind at rest and make me feel so comfortable, I also found the perfect dress. Amazing in every way thank you so much!

Rhiannon

I honestly loved my experience and I’m so glad I found my dress here. Everyone was so lovely and helpful. There was no pressure to buy even though there was a designer event on and I was able to take as long as I needed when trying on each dress. My family loved that they could get involved choosing dresses for me to try on. It’s such a lovely and relaxed environment to try on dresses (the chapel is stunning!). I couldn’t recommend more!

Claire

I am a plus size bride and was absolutely dreading going dress shopping, all I could envision was the “Pretty Woman” shopping moment on the film, as I was a bigger girl BUT you made me feel so special and so beautiful and no different to a “normal size” bride, THANKYOU!! I can’t wait to wear my dress next year and I’m now looking forward to everyone looking at me walk down that aisle.
