Wedding Dress Shops in the North West/ Manchester area - RECOMMENDATIONS NEEDED

Hi,

I live in the North West and went to the following bridal shops;

Candystripe Couture - Latchford, Warrington - the dress were in quite small sizes but the staff couldn't do enough for you, I went twice looking at wedding dresses and once for BM dresses and they were really helpful everytime, picking out dresses they thought would suit etc
Hancock and Wood - Warrington Town Centre - the staff weren't overly helpful however the dresses were in a bigger range of sizes
Confetti Box - Eccles - I went here looking for BM dresses (and eventually bought them from here) however they looked to have a good range of wedding dresses in different styles, not sure about the sizes though
Special Daze - Widnes Town Centre - I went here looking for BM dreses but wasn't overly impressed, the staff didn't seem interested and left you to your own devices
Bethany Hannah - Stockton Heath, Warrington - this is where i bought my wedding dress from, the staff were fab. Not sure about variety of sizes, however they had a good variety of styles
Orchid Bridal Lounge - Culcheth, Warrington - small shop, however you get 1 on 1 attention from the owner, dresses were lovely however quite expensive, from what I can remember most seemed to be strapless styles though
Beryl Cotton - Warringto Town Centre - good variety of Alfred Angelo dresses most available in 14+ sizea

Hope that's helped you a bit. Where in the North West are you from? x

Looks like u have been busy too - thanks!

I live in South Manchester, Withington. Dont mind travelling for a good shop but its just seems so hit and miss!

There's a couple in Altrincham that I pass daily on my way to work, one on Goose Green, which my friend got her wedding dress from and said they were fab. One behind M&S and one just past Cresta Court Hotel going towards Sale. Might be worth a trip here.

If you havent found your dress yet have a look at bride be lovely in warrington it isnt in the town centre and I didnt have a clue about it!! someone who me my mum and gran bumped into when dress shopping told us about it we popped over and I found the one lovely little shop xx

Hi,

i was in the same dilema, didn't want a strapless dress and they kept saying they could add them on, but wasn't convinced,

I found mine in Orchid Bridal Lounge, but stumbled upon it as I didn't even have a appointment, but she was so lovely and couldn't of done anymore for me, so much so I found my BM dress as well.

Others i tried were 1 in Goose Green in Altrincham, nice and helpful, good size collection. Lace in Hale, very expensive and not a huge collection. Pronuptia in Altrincham, they had a few, again good sizes. Chester- went to alot of shops there, all were great but just didn't find the one. If you fancy a day trip out I would recommend Chester, nice city and day out even if you don't find 'The One' youwon't feel like you've wasted a day.

Good Luck. I tried on over 60 dresses but I found mine, so never give up hope.

Sense & Sensibility in great moor??

I'm getting my dress from there and they have been nothing but fantastic with me!!

I'm a size 14 and could get in the smaller dress's quite okay so you being a size bigger i wouldn't have thought been a problem.

I work in Altrincham and got my dress from the one in Goose Green its called "Cheshire Bridal Wear" I fully recommend them! The one behind M&S is called The Bridal Path my friend got her dress from there and said they were great. Theres also Pronuptia in Altrincham we have ordered our suits from there and their very helpful!
