Disappointing experience: The customer service was poor, including the level of knowledge and communication skills. Definite lack of understanding of the bride’s needs related to limited listening. The staff was mostly focused on selling rather than creating a memorable experience. Although the dress from Nicole Anne was beautiful, the shop did not deliver anything apart from selling the dress which in the end was too small and had to be adjusted by an external seamstress.

Dear Laura, Tracey and Emma, Thank you so much for helping me find my dream dress. I was so pleased when Tracy agreed to create exactly what I wanted by amalgamating several of her beautiful dresses. I absolutely loved the end result and felt like an ethereal princess. You were all so supportive and easy going throughout, with nothing being too big an ask. Thank you Emma for tweaking the final design and ensuring it was the perfect length and shape for me. Thanks, Justine xxx

I would recommend this Bridal shop over and over again to any bride looking for a dress. I got my wedding dress from Brides of Winchester in 2016. Laura made me feel so comfortable and I found my dress quickly and returned the same day to order it. I was able to meet and be measured for my dress by the actual designer and was confident with the fit of my dress for my wedding day. My dress was perfect and I loved it. My best friend also got her dress at Brides of Winchester who looked beautiful on her wedding and I know had a fantastic experience shopping and being fitted.

Brides of Winchester's customer service was second to none, they made a body conscious lady feel very comfortable, and helped me find my perfect dress. Not once did I doubt my decision with my dress. I drove an hour each way for each appointment and fitting, because they were so wonderful! Their dresses are incredible, mainly British designers, and simply stunning. Their alterations department are also wonderful, and great value too.

Was delighted to visit and find my wedding dress at Brides of Winchester. The shop is beautiful, Laura is friendly yet professional and really does give you a luxury experience. Having tried dresses on at other shops previously and having an idea of what I wanted, Laura encouraged me to try on a dress that I would never normally have chosen. We talked through and tried out some potential alterations and additions and, like magic, it was perfect. She then arranged a short notice appointment for my parents to come back with me to see the dress before I bought it and made sure she was available to see us when she normally wouldn't have been. She also made some of the alterations to the sample dress before we arrived so that my parents and I could really see how it would look. I'm so happy I took the trip to Winchester and that I found the perfect dress which I absolutely love. I would definitely recommend the shop to anyone looking for their dream wedding dress.
