Top Wedding Tips

If you are not a last minute bride, you should be looking for your dress and ordering it between 9 and 12 months before your wedding date. Dresses take months to be made.

Research your bridal retailers. See what testimonials they have from their recent brides.

Too many guests with you on your bridal dress search will not help. Remember, it's what you like NOT what others think is good for you.

It was so comfortable to dance in.
I just wanted to write and say thank you so much for helping me find my perfect wedding dress. It has taken ages to get our photos but here they are. I had a fantastic day wearing my White Rose dress. It was so comfortable to dance in. I will highly recommend you to anyone looking for a funky dress. Thanks again, Delithea.

You folk are absolute superstars
Thank you so much for all your help with my dress - I was so nervous when I first walked in and you put me at ease straight away, and then both continued to do so throughout the whole process. I think I went to one other bridal shop (where the assistant told me that I would 'definitely' buy a particular dress and so tried to pressure me into buying the ill-fitting sample right there and then... No thank you!) before realising that FairyGothMother was clearly the best place! I imagine things might be difficult in lockdown, but you folk are absolute superstars, so hope you are up and running again soon.

I got so many compliments
Hello! I wanted to share the Rosie floral gown I bought last June from you, as I had my wedding on Saturday. I got so many compliments about how gorgeous/stunning the dress was, and I just wanted to say a big thanks!!!” – Hannah

really captured the romance
I had the most amazing appointment with Emma, who really helped me figure out what I loved, and told me how lovely I looked. I fell in love with a gown which was full length, but Emma reassured me it would be simple to have it shortened. The result was a dress that I adore, and felt so beautiful in! I loved how it ended up looking with my bridesmaids in block shades of green, and it really captured the romance and spirit of the winery!
