Wedding Dress Shops

Claire, 14 July, 2023 at 20:39 Posted on Wedding Attire 0 5
Hi all, probably like most I'm getting into the stages of thinking about gowns, for our wedding as it is split between UK (traditional) and Vegas (anything goes) i am stuck, I would love a black dress but don't know where to start with designers. Can't anyone recommend some shops around the South East or London?

    Hi Claire,

    I have somewhat extensive knowledge in this having been through all this myself. there is a shop in London that sells alternative wedding dresses (which includes black dresses) called 'Fairy goth mother' which I believe is in Lewisham.

    Designers who carry Black wedding dresses are Louise Bentley and Lou Lou bridal as well as some Austrailian designers but the imports are stupidly priced.

    Just a heads up, Black wedding dresses are a lot more expensive than white dresses. for example; Louise Bentley's start st 2.5K and only go up if you want any alterations in design. there is also a place in Ashford Kent that stocks Louise Bentley dresses but the name escapes me right now.

    It depends I think if you want an actual Black wedding dress or just a black occasion dress that looks more like a prom dress.

    Hope this helps and good luck hunting Smiley smile

    Hey Claire,

    I would recommend David's Bridal Stratford. I bring all my clients there, however unfortunately, they are closing at the end of this month. They don't have black bridal gowns anymore but they have black veils. They also have great black special occasion dresses that people have worn as bridal gowns. These are the prices for their closing down sale.

    Hey! You don’t have to stick to just in-person shops in London or southeast—online is such a flexible option these days. I’ve heard so many people rave about Azazie for unique picks like black wedding dresses; they’ve got tons of styles, can do custom fits, and it’s way easier to browse at your own pace, which is perfect for your two totally different wedding vibes!

    “Thanks for the Fairy Goth Mother tip — exactly the kind of place I had in mind for a non-traditional gown. The £2.5k+ price is eye-watering though!
    If you’re trying to visualise styles without spending, a fun trick is to mock up dress ideas in Minecraft APK (mobile) — my partner and I built a tiny ‘dress gallery’ in creative mode to test silhouettes, veils ,and color combos before shopping. You can even use custom skins or texture packs to try different looks on a model, which makes it way easier to decide on a style. Saved us time and avoided a few expensive mistakes!
    (Also: if anyone’s interested in examples or screenshots from our build, happy to share.)”

    The UK gaming audience often gravitates toward platforms that feel both lively and safe. In this regard, Lucky Carnival manages to maintain a good balance. Its themed games, clear gameplay rules, and easy account management tools make it appealing. Many enjoy how the website creates a festive atmosphere without making things overly complicated.
