Shevannon Williams
I had such a wonderful experience with Rosie during my braid dress fitting. She was absolutely amazing — warm, patient, and incredibly understanding. She supported my friend through the entire process with genuine care, making us both feel comfortable and confident. Rosie’s knowledge really stood out; she explained everything clearly, offered thoughtful suggestions, and truly knew how to bring the vision to life. Her professionalism mixed with her friendly, uplifting energy made the appointment feel effortless. We couldn’t have asked for better consultant. Highly recommend!

Rebecca Moon
I honestly could not promote serenity brides enough!
I was extremely nervous about going wedding dress shopping - Lyndsey put me at ease straight away. After choosing some dresses with my bridal party and still being unsure, Lyndsey pulled out a wild card dress for me to try and I absolutely fell in love with it. She managed to listen to everything that I was saying but also encourage me to try something I wasn’t expecting and it paid off and I found the dress of my dreams.
Lyndsey is a credit to serenity brides and I can’t thank her enough for making my dress shopping experience amazing and unforgettable.
Response from the owner:Love this Rebecca, thanks so much for the detail xxx

Glenda Turner
Having already purchased my bridesmaids dresses from Serenity Brides, I went back to look for my own dress. The whole experience was amazing. We spent the afternoon with Lyndsey who made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout, her professionalism and knowledge shone through and with her help and support I found the most amazing dress, which was nothing like the dress I had in my head before I stepped foot in the shop!! I love my dress and can’t wait to pick it up. I would recommend Serenity Brides to any future brides looking to find an amazing dress with amazing service..
Response from the owner:What a lovely review Glenda! Thankyou so xxxx

Buy with Confidence!

When you buy any Wedding Dress from us, you can be assured that you are in safe hands!

Serenity Brides is a family business which started trading in 2007 and has gone from strength to strength. In 2016 we moved into our current premises and a much larger shop to give our brides, more choice, more space, gorgeous air conditioned changing rooms, plus a lift and disabled facilities! Plus your gown is fully insured whilst on our premises.

In 2021, just after the country opened up after Covid, we opened a sister shop next door called Rock Your Curves – especially for our plus size brides.

This investment in the bridal business, sets us as an Independent Boutique apart from the large chains. Our prices are realistic too, and you get all the service you deserve when buying the most important dress you will ever wear.

To book an appointment call us on 01206 577756, fill out our Contact Form or FB message our page.

I had the best experience with Serenity Brides, I felt totally comfortable from the moment I walked in the store, I had set my heart on a dress that unfortunately the designer had gone into liquidation but Kerri was totally amazing and straight away helped to find a dress that was even more beautiful. The ladies all do an amazing job and a great job was done on the alterations by the lovely Valerie.

I want to say a massive thank you for Serenity Brides for making my experience a stress free appointment and for making me look like a princess Thank you ladies,

Louise
