‘I went into it not really knowing what I wanted at all. I wasn’t sure what style would suit me, what shape I wanted or even what I should be looking for. Hannah was so good at picking out different styles, she really helped me discover what I liked rather than me having to go in knowing exactly what I wanted. She was so lovely, patient and easy to talk to, and I never felt pressured. She made the whole experience really enjoyable and personal, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help me find my dress.’

‘It was exactly how I had hoped dress shopping would be. The shop is beautiful, with a huge selection and the opportunity to try on a range of styles. I was supported by Charlotte, who really understood my vision and created a fun, warm and uplifting experience for both me and the family members who came with me. Charlotte actually picked my dress for me after I explained what I was looking for.’

The staff at Sophia Grace Couture are wonderful. From initial emails to final fittings, I cannot fault the attentiveness, professionalism and warmth of the staff. Charlotte was a dream when she led my appointment. She not only organised trying on my dream dress, but she took the time to consider other dresses that I might like to try during my appointment.

Picking your bridal gown is a big deal and my experience at Sophia Grace Couture reflected that.

Charlotte was so helpful and put me at ease throughout the appointment as picking a wedding dress can feel overwhelming. I was so relaxed during my appointment and there were loads of dresses to pick from and WOW such a beautiful shop.

What truly stood out to me was the peaceful and private experience you offer. Each bride gets her own fitting room and personal space, without the distraction of other clients or loud crowds. It felt so calm, intimate, and respectful—just the way a bridal fitting should be.

The shop itself is very luxurious and I was surprised by the range of different styles and designers that were available. I liked that I had the space to myself, as it didn’t make me feel rushed when browsing and trying dresses on.

Have fun and don’t feel overwhelmed by the thought of having to try on hundreds of dresses from numerous stores, you will know when you have found the one.

The boutique has such a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the team made me feel so special. They were incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping me find the perfect dress. I left feeling confident and completely taken care of.

I’d looked at some of the designers available at Sophia Grace Couture and knew there was one dress in particular I wanted to try, a dress by Enzoani. It was the first wedding dress I’d tried on and I knew straight away it was the one for me. My mum and best friend were in tears and then I started welling up so asked if i could try a veil with it! Of course i had to try on a few different ones just to make sure but nothing compared to the first one. That was my dress! No feeling like it!

Ines took great care of me and advised me to have a look around and turn the dresses that caught my eye on the hanger and we could try them on, we started with 5, I tried on 2 dresses before I tried my dress on and as soon as I put it on I felt the most comfortable I had in any dress, before I had even seen it, when I walked out and seen myself in the mirror I literally gasped!

My advice is to just enjoy the process, it’s such a special time looking for your wedding dress. Don’t be afraid to try on something outside of your comfort zone, and be open to advice from the girls at Sophia Grace - they are so helpful! 

Walking down the aisle with my wee dad in the ceremony room of my dreams, to the most beautiful version of Love Story played by the Amarone music and seeing Jamie at the end of the aisle was a core memory that I will never forget.
