With Love from...
I recently had my big day, and my whole dress journey was incredible, all thanks to Ashleigh Richards Bridal.
I first booked an appointment after seeing them at a wedding show. As a plus-size bride, I was so nervous about dress shopping. I'd already visited another bridal shop beforehand, but the experience didn't even compare to the warm, welcoming service I received here.
I was able to try on so many beautiful dresses, with most available in my size, which made such a difference. I found my dream dress—and to top it off, it was in the sale!
From the moment I said yes to the dress through to every fitting, the team were so accommodating, supportive, and genuinely lovely. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. I also bought my veil and jewellery from the boutique, and I received so many compliments on them throughout the day.
I even asked for an extra fitting because I wanted (and admittedly missed!) trying my dress on, and they were more than happy to fit me in.
I can't thank the team enough for making me feel so comfortable, confident, and excited throughout the entire experience. I would recommend Ashleigh Richards Bridal to any bride, especially anyone who feels nervous about dress shopping. They truly made finding my dream dress such a special and memorable part of my wedding journey.
