Wedding dresses John Lewis

They tend to only have wedding dresses in flagship stores, they have Berkatex bridal in some stores too.

Hi Jo, I've recently booked my venue for next June and made my first visit to a bridal shop and felt the same as you - all a bit heavy and OTT for my style! I love the High St store designs as well - did you find a John Lewis/Debenhams/House of Fraser store to try on wedding dresses? Thank in advance. ?

Hi

You can book a bridal personal shopper experience at Debenhams which is free and they'll be able to run through loads of dresses with you in a private dressing room. I recently took my grandma for a personal shopper for her outfit for my wedding and it was amazing.

Not sure about John Lewis though!

Good luck!

Hi, for the same reasons I ended up buying my dress from Debenhams. Another option is to buy lots online and try on at home, then return the ones you don't like (or all!) My local Debenhams didn't stock wedding dresses so this was the easiest thing to do.

When I was returning one dress, the lady in the queue in front of me was returning the last of 22 dresses shed she'd ordered!

I guess the only thing to be careful of is if something happens to the company - I recently ordered some bridesmaid dresses from house of Fraser and the order got cancelled when they were taken over. I've finally got my money back but it might be wise to pay on credit card as this gives you extra protection.

Have fun!

You need to order the dresses first, pretty sure they aren't in stock.
