We’re delighted to share with you that we have moved location.

Our bridal & prom boutique is now situated at 72 Eccleston St, Prescot in the historic Flat Iron Building.

When we viewed the property, we fell instantly in love. With a ground floor showroom giving more space, parking opposite and a prominent High St location, it couldn’t be more perfect to give you even better accessibility and an even better service.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our new home.

Book your appointment through the link at the top of this page and we’ll see you soon.

Hey brides, so we get asked all the time who you can bring to your bridal appointment.

In terms of numbers, our boutique comfortably seats four guests but we’re happy to accommodate more if you need to! We find that the ideal number is two though, & here’s why.

Honestly girls, choose who you bring with you wisely! I say this with your best interests at heart. Finding your wedding dress can be a very overwhelming experience, so you don’t want to be worrying about trying to take in lots of opinions, the guest who is going to be controlling, making it about them or being ‘too’ honest that she upsets you or the rest of your group!

Your soul purpose is to find the wedding dress that ‘you’ love! We’re all for honesty as long as it’s directed in a constructive way, in fact we love your entourage getting involved as they know you so much better than me! but please, leave behind the negative nelly or the pushy princess, they’ll only spoil the experience for you!

Brides, if you have got your eye on a particular dress, then now is the time to come and get it before its too late

We are discontinuing lots of styles to make way for new and are therefore offering you the last chance to buy before they go! During this time we can still order these styles from our designer, but after this week that won’t be possible.

We have opened up extra appointments for this week only – offer ends on 15th February. So get yourself booked in today and get yourself a valentines special offer.

Hey Bridey’s

Did you know that some wedding dresses can take up to 6 months to be made?

Yep, that’s right, that’s why we recommend saying yes to your perfect dress about 12 to 18 months before your wedding date.

Why so long? Well, wedding dresses are not made in bulk orders like high street clothing, they are made to order. So it’s only once you say yes to the dress in a particular style, colour, size, that the dress will go in to production.

Not only that, but when your dress arrives, you may need some slight alterations to the length etc to make sure it fits perfectly on your big day. This can add another 8 weeks on to your timeline if you are getting married in peak season (May to August).

So for a stress free wedding dress shopping experience, get yourself booked in as soon as possible.

We are so excited to announce that we are bringing this much loved designer to the boutique.

Their Adore collection has wedding gowns that are just perfect for the bride looking for modern elegant designs, with touches of romance.

The best bit – this collection is priced from just £1100 to £1500.

Pictured is the delightful Noemie who will be just £1165!

Dresses are starting to arrive this month with the full collection hitting the boutique in January! Book your appointment today…!
