CATHERINE PARRY
1711
The ultimate princess dresses for the picture perfect bride…
The 1950s was an incredible era for ladies fashion and it’s a huge inspiration for many of the designs in the Catherine Parry collection. ‘1711’ is a dress that suits every body shape and the cut and the opulence of the Mikado silk fabric proves that you don’t need ornate beading or lace for a gown to have real wow-factor. The high/ low skirt gives brides the perfect excuse to splash out on some very extravagant wedding shoes.

ALEXIA
The finest embroidery, lace and beading. . .
This dress represents the Alexia brand at its best. A gown to flatter all figures and the beading around the middle gives the illusion of a smaller waistline. The real wow-factor element of this dress has to be the delicate floral lace underneath the beaded top layer, it’s simply stunning and again completely flattering for girls who aren’t so comfortable with showing the whole of their arm. A subtle trumpet shape to the skirt will give you a sleek silhouette and elongate height.

TRUEBRIDE
W250
This alluring dress is undeniable glamorous. It’s slinky silhouette is super sexy and can be worn with or without its voluminous tulle overskirt. A lace trimmed plunge neckline adds a touch of modern and the beautiful embroidered illusion sleeves add a vintage feel, fusing together elements of old and new. But it’s the daringly low sheer back, infinite buttons and dramatic overskirt which leave an impression. This dress evokes the spirit of the True Bride brand because it is a classic style with vintage inspired details and a modern twist. It would suit a bride who is feminine and stylish and who wants to make a subtle statement. This is also the perfect dress to chose if she wants two looks; wear it with the overskirt by day for a romantic feel and detach for the evening to reveal her inner Hollywood starlet!

THE DRESSING ROOMS
WATTERS
This oh so pretty Wedding Dress by Watters is just the most exquisite pretty little thing we have seen in a long time. The softer than soft floaty Italian tulle skirt is complimented by the adorable bodice, beautifully constructed and hand finished with guipure lace. We just adore her here at The Dressing Rooms because of the effortless simplicity and real on trend style that this stunning little number exudes. It doesn’t need anything added its just perfect as it is and we believe that every wedding dress should be that for a bride with nothing added and nothing taken away. A bride should fall in love instinctively with her dress and not want to change a thing. We don’t just believe here at The Dressing Rooms, we make things happen and we deliver, every time, on every promise we make. We can put brides in dresses and give out our expert advice and knowledge all day long but it’s the bride who feels it when she’s found the one. We have separate exclusive rooms for each bride and her guests we serve so every appointment with every bride is always a VIP experience.
Don’t just take our word for it, take a look at our Google and Facebook Reviews these are something we’re really proud of. We would love you to come and visit us and we, in return, will endeavour to help you find the perfect dress for your perfect day.
