Today was my first time dress shopping and I was very nervous and unsure on what to expect. Ended up having a fabulous experience at Serenity Brides and came away with the most amazing dress. Lyndsey made me feel very comfortable and at ease and made the whole experience calming and enjoyable. She ended up finding me a dress that i did not originally pick and i fell in love with it! Highly recommend Serenity Brides, the shop is gorgeous with lots to choose from and even better celebrating with some bubbly at the end. Thank you for a great experience xx

Barry Day
I had the most wonderful experience at Serenity Brides! Nicola was absolutely amazing from start to finish and made me, my mum and my sister feel comfortable and relaxed.

Iā€™d looked online beforehand and had a particular dress in mind, but was also open to other options. After trying on a few others first, just to get a feel for things, I tried on the dress Iā€™d seen online and I completely fell in love. I instantly knew it was the one!

The whole team were so friendly and attentive, and the experience was truly special. Iā€™d only visited one other shop before this, but both the dress and the incredible service meant I bought my dress straight away. I couldnā€™t recommend Serenity Brides enough. Thank you for making it so special!
Response from the owner:Such a lovely review Barry, Thankyou so much from all of us x

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
