Why we’re so much more than a bridal shop

Every bride deserves to feel confident, supported and truly special when choosing the dress of their dreams. At Brides of Ashby, we believe it’s not just about finding ‘the one’ - it’s about the journey you take to get there. From the moment you walk through our door, our goal is to make you feel relaxed, listened to and in expert hands. But don’t just take our word for it - the stories of two real brides say it all.

Evette’s story: “It was absolutely stunning … just wow!”

Evette wasn’t expecting to find the dress when she first popped into our boutique out of curiosity. But with the guidance of our team - and a little bridal magic - she did exactly that.

“You always have an idea of what you think you want, but with their advice and expertise, I tried on a number of different styles,” she said. “Claire entered the room and said, ‘there’s one I think you should try.’ Well, say no more … I was absolutely blown away.”

Evette’s dream gown matched her whimsical forest venue perfectly, complete with delicate sleeves, sparkles and lace detail. But what made the experience even more memorable was the care shown throughout, from expert advice to fitting recommendations and beautiful accessories.

“I had the most relaxed and fun day. I would 100% recommend Brides of Ashby - the team are fantastic and friendly. I had so many compliments on how stunning I looked. Thank you so much to an amazing team.”

Ashlea’s story: “A day-saving angel”

Ashlea’s bridal experience took an unexpected turn the night before her wedding: a singed dress, panic, and a frantic search for answers. What happened next is a testament to the dedication and care the Brides of Ashby team offers every bride, even after they’ve left the shop.

“My auntie reached out to Brides of Ashby on Facebook at 9pm,” Ashlea explained. “Allyson responded immediately with calming words and the offer to go to the closed shop the next morning to grab all the long veils she could, to help hide the mark.”

The solution? A glittering long veil that turned a moment of stress into pure magic. Allyson not only solved the problem but joined Ashlea on the morning of her wedding to help her dress and ensure the reveal photos with her parents went off without a hitch.

“My night would have been ruined without knowing there was a solution. I felt like a princess the next day. Brides of Ashby didn’t just sell me a dress - they saved the day.”
