Julie believes that choosing your wedding dress should be relaxing and enjoyable, and when you book a personal appointment with Julie, you will have her undivided attention. Most boutiques offer on- hour long appointments, but Julie believes that brides need more time, and so her appointments will last at least an hour and a half, ensuring personal, attentive service with full advice and assistance the key to ensuring you choose exactly the right dress to make you feel amazing.

The boutique has a wide selection of dresses from the world’s leading designers available for you to see and try on, as well as a terrific range of bridesmaids and flower girl dresses to choose from. Collections from Ian Stuart, Stella York, Tiffany’s and Mary’s Bridal are waiting for brides to be to try on.

You don’t even have to think about the accessories you may need. There is a wide selection of shoes, tiaras, hair accessories, and veils. Speaking of shoes, there is a lovely selection of white shoes and if you would like something a little more ‘individual’ a selection of ‘Irregular Choice’ wedding shoes will be available to try on. Offering funky colours, shapes and patterns to add something a little different to your bridal theme.
