    Hello everyone,
    My name is Janet and I am getting married in June 2016. My partner and I have been together for 20 years and I will be 59 at the time of my marriage.
    The venue/photographer/hair & makeup are booked but have yet done nothing else! It will be a very small wedding, less than 10 guests, but I will be organising everything and I know very little about weddings! I was a bridesmaid when I was 18 and basically have tried to avoid all things wedding since then!

    I have no idea about dresses and have come here for a little help and guidance. Could anyone recommend bridal shops in the Greater (north) Manchester area at all?

    Thank you.

    Congratulations to everyone on their forthcoming marriage.

    Hello, welcome to the UKBride family. I don't know Manchester that well but I imagine a day in central Manchester and a day in the Trafford centre would put you in reach of a lot of shops.

    Hi & Welcome, have you tried the brochure part of the site they came through with a few places local to me (Scotland) that I hadn't heard of. Also try using G00g1e?

    Welcome Janet! What a lovely story!

    I'm sure if you visit a bridal shop near year they can give you suggestions about what kind of dress might suit, or perhaps put you in contact with someone who can :) Good luck!
