Forget Me Not Designs Full Description
The Forget me Not team, led by award winning British designer Geraldine Tulloch, have been creating wedding dresses for Brides since 1989. Each wedding gown is handcrafted by a team of skilled dressmakers in our workrooms, which are situated directly below our pretty boutique on the Isle of Wight. It might sound a long way away but our bridal shop is in a perfect location to make a real day out of your wedding dress appointment. From London travel is an easy day trip,( it takes just 2 hours) via the closest ferry port of Portsmouth, or hovercraft from Southsea or you can travel via Southampton or Lymington if you are coming from the South West. You can stroll beside the sea with an ice cream or sit and admire the view, whilst sipping a glass of Fizz and enjoying a fine lunch before you head home. As you walk into the Forget me Not Designs boutique you can see an abundance of wedding dresses adorning our rails and mannequins, made from sumptuous silks, chiffons and exquisite laces. Drawing on years of experience and by listening to you, we are experts in helping you choose a dress to best suit your style and personality. We design gowns for a variety of wedding themes, from traditional church to Festival style party, far away beach to a winter castle. Our collections include classic A-line shapes, elegant 1950’s styles, Vintage 20’s and 30’s, figure hugging mermaid dresses and styles with a modern, cutting edge Wow factor! We can even design you a “one off” bespoke, couture wedding dress so that all of our brides can wear a beautiful wedding gown, made to measure, to their taste, shape, style and budget. If you would like to view any of our dresses or would like to talk with our designers about a custom made gown, feel free to come and visit us in our boutique, you can even take a peek into the workrooms to see where and how the dresses are made. We look forward to meeting you and will make you most welcome. (Appointments appreciated)

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Katrina Rigby
Fed up of saying " I like it - but " At Forget me Not you are not limited by on the rail choices, you can create your own dress by choosing all the best elements of dresses you have tried, for example the neckline of one and the way it flows off the hip of another, with the puddle/Cathedral length train of " that one" and in the fabric or lace of yet another. Any combination of ideas to best suit you on your special day. That is what we do best! Finalist for British Bridal Awards 2015 2016,

Amazing in everyway
I absolutely loved my dress and wish I had a reason to wear it again. The way the 2 laces blended together was exquisite I have never seen a dress like it. After trying several dresses on and not finding the one I visited my family on the isle of wight and went to forget me knot. I tried several dresses on again and like aspects of all so to have one made for me with everything I wanted and made to measure was just fabulous. I felt amazing on my wedding day and so comfortable in the heat. Gerry and Katrina along with their team are fantastic and very helpful. Would recommend to any bride.

Amazing- the perfect dress
Fabulous in every way, the material, the quality and the service! I really cannot thank Gerry and Katrina enough for my perfect dress! I was beginning to loose hope of ever finding my dress before I had my appointment at Forget Me Not Designs. Other wedding shops I had visited near my home kept telling me that I was too late in my search (a year in advance of my wedding), that I needed to compromise and even one told me I was wrong and my dream wasn’t my dream dress. When I walked into Forget Me Not it was a breath of fresh air. The dresses were all gorgeous although none sadly were quite right... not a problem I was told- what do you want and we will make it. Hearing that nearly reduced me to tears, as it was the first bit of real hope I had and turned my experiences around. My dress was lovingly made for me to be my dream and fit me as I wanted. I loved whenever any one asked me if I was worried about the dress fitting to tell them- no because it’s going to be perfect and unique for me. I chose a full length version of their gorgeous Reubens dress, without a train and with an added beaded belt, it hung just off the ground so I could walk and dance- and the material was exactly as I wanted. The service, the finished dress and the price could never have been beaten. Added to that once I had worn it we had it cleaned and they boxed it for us in a beautiful keep sake box. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart.

Would recommend to anyone
Dear Gerry, I wanted to send you a little email with some photos of our perfect wedding day (02/09/2017). I absolutely love looking back over them & admiring how fab my dress is :) Thank you so much for creating such a gorgeous, high quality, bespoke wedding dress for me. I got so many compliments on the day, especially from my now husband. It was super comfortable & light to wear so I was still able to bust some shapes on the dance floor later in the eve. You & Sarah were amazing from day 1 when I came into the shop with my mum. I couldn’t believe how willing & easy you made it seem to create the dress of my dreams. I would highly recommend Forget Me Not to anyone so if there is anywhere you would like me to leave a review, please let me know. Love Sally
