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.

From the moment I arrived with my mum and maid of honour the store looked luxurious, we were welcomed by Charlotte who was so friendly, she made me and my mum feel so welcome and relaxed. 

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!
