The most perfect dress!
I found the most perfect wedding dress at Victoria Elaine and I cannot wait for my follow up appointments after the excellent service I received! My experience was amazing from the phone calls prior to the appointment right though to helping me make my decision on a dress. I am a very body conscious person and was not looking forward to going dress shopping, however the ladies at Victoria Elaine made me feel at ease and confident. This was the only place I went dress shopping and I must say the customer service and personal touches were excellent, including a goodie bag. I cannot recommend this shop enough, you are made to feel special and receive personal service instead of being treated like just another customer. Thank you so much for helping me find my perfect dress!

I found my dream dress!
I can't say enough amazing things about Victoria Elaine Bridal and especially Amy! I have found my dream dress and I can't wait until my fitting! My wedding is this October and I was so anxious that I wouldn't have enough time but they calmed my nerves instantly and put a special fast track on my dress to ensure it arrives in time! From the phone call the day before to my appointment I honestly don't have enough words to describe how amazing they are! I found the most perfect wedding dress at Victoria Elaine and I cannot wait for my follow up appointments! I'm extremely body conscious but they made me feel so beautiful and confident and I honestly can't thank them enough! This was my first and only wedding dress shop experience and I couldn't recommend them to everyone enough!

"I never felt rushed or pushed"
100% recommend Victoria Elaine Bridal and I am so excited to say I became a #vebride today! From the moment we were welcomed in to this stunning boutique, we was made to feel so comfortable. And after a long day of wedding dress shopping myself, mum and sister was feeling a little deflated and tired. So a few haribo to nibble on was a great energy boost. And then the whole experience was so magical. And I never felt rushed or pushed in to any choices. The lovely owner even stayed open an extra half an hour for me, helping me to find a veil and once the important yes was said, a bottle of prosecco was popped and all had a toast to the dress...I will be getting my bridesmaids dresses from this stunning place in the New Year. A massive thank you again to Victoria Elaine Bridal for helping me find my dream dress!

"Staff were incredible"
Had an amazing time today with my daughter, one of her bridesmaids and her fiancés mum. The staff were incredible, making us feel welcome and at ease. My daughter, Ellie, was very nervous but she needn't have worried. The ladies made her first (and last) experience of trying wedding dresses on a truly wonderful one. After trying on 8 or 9 dresses, Ellie chose the one for her. It was a strong contender from the minute she first had it on and although she looked truly amazing in all of them, this one really had the wow factor. I'm so happy for her, thank you Victoria Elaine Bridal for a lovely afternoon.

"I can't wait to come back"
I was so nervous about my first experience of wedding dress shopping but I needn't have been. From the minute we arrived we were so welcomed and looked after, my Mum even cried as we walked through the door! The special little touches were all noticed and appreciated. The staff were friendly, reassuring and listened to every little detail, helping me pick one of their 'wildcards'. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and the memories you helped create for us all are so appreciated! I can't wait to come back for my first fitting!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

I have been completely obsessed with weddings and bridalwear ever since I was 7 and a bridesmaid for my cousin. It was on this day that I realised just what a wedding meant and what a special occasion it is, so I am now really honoured to be helping brides find their dream gowns for their wedding day!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

The style in our boutique is glitzy and glamourous, while our staff are friendly, helpful and always laughing!

What about your business are you most proud of?

I am most proud of #TeamVEB. When setting up my boutique, I knew we would always focus on bridal experience, but didn't expect to find a team of women who felt as passionate about it as I do. We work hard to make sure you find the dress for you without pressure or stress.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Have your wedding dress ordered a year before the wedding! This will give the designer plenty of time to get the dress to the boutique and you can have your fittings without rushing or worrying. This also means that you can plan details, such as bridesmaids dresses, hair and decorations with the details of your bridal gown in mind.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

My best friend wrote each guest a personalised note to say how much she appreciated our presence at her wedding. It contained memories she remembered of when we were at school and doubled up as a place card.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We typically meet our brides at wedding fairs or when they call to book in. We always try and have an informal chat about the gown they are looking for at this point, but also advise they have an open mind during our appointment as brides often find a dress different to the original idea. When a bride comes in for her appointment, she will receive a friendly welcome from her stylist and offered drinks. Appointments last 90 minutes and we use that time to find the bride her dream dress. We listen carefully to the bride and may even suggest some wildcards dresses to try on. When a bride has said the big 'YES', we take measurements and complete the paperwork. The gowns typically take 6 months to arrive and as soon as they do, we call to discuss when you would like alterations. Our seamstress is spectacular and will do the fittings in the boutique. She is very attentive and will look after both you and your gown until it is time to collect it for your wedding day!

What do you love most about your job?

It is an honour to help a bride to be find her wedding dress, to be part of that memory that you will remember forever. knowing that we do our job well and make lots of happy memories is what we all love at Victoria Elaine Bridal.

What is your favourite style of wedding dress?

We love all styles here at Victoria Elaine Bridal but our personal favourite is when a designer takes a modern twist on a classic style. For example, Hayley Paige inventing her caviar fabric for a modern way to add sparkle, or how Ellis and Eddy K use nude tones on classic silhouettes.

What is the best way to incorporate "Something Blue" into the wedding outfit?

I think it's a great idea to incorporate your something blue in your bridal shoes. Unless you are wearing a tea-length dress, people will not see much of your shoes and by going for a shade of blue that's in fashion at the time, you will wear them after your wedding!

What is your favourite wedding dress of all time?

Impossible to pick just one! I really loved Kate Middleton's dress when she got married. It was chic and elegant, whilst conforming to the rules the Royals have. Kate is the reason lace became popular in bridal again. Of the dresses we have the in the boutique, it will take a lot to beat Markle. She is magnificent and suits every body shape!
