Book your Appointment

We operate by appointment to give all our customers the absolute best experience (You and your guests will be the only people in the shop - we literally lock the door!),

We can't wait to meet you and help you find your Dream Dress.

You can book all our different types of appointments below through our LIVE online booking system, which gives you our up-to-date availability, and you can secure your desired spot immediately -  just scroll down the page to book a service:

Here is a little more information about our different services:

Bridal Appointments

Our Bridal Appointments are available 7 days a week, by appointment - Your appointment is two hours long and you can bring up to 5 guests (plus the Bride). We start with a sit-down consultation, so we can get an idea of your Wedding plans and vibes, together any ideas you already have about the Dress. We host you and your guests with drinks & snacks and you will have 1-to-1 expert help and attention throughout your appointment, together with full access to our extensive designer dress collection. 

We have Wedding Dress samples in every size from 4 - 36 in our boutique to try on & a dedicated Curvy Wedding Collection in sizes 18-36.

We charge £20 for our Bridal Appointments at the point of booking to secure your space, which is redeemable off your Dress purchase at your appointment.

Bridal Sample Sale Appointments

Our Sample Sale Appointments are also available by appointment and are two hours long -   your appointment is hosted in the same way as a Bridal Appointment (described above), however, our focus will be on our Off-the-Rail/Sample Sale Collection where dresses are priced between £299 - £1350

Perfect for budget-conscious Brides who deserve outstanding service, care, and attention to find their Dream Dress.

We charge £20 for our Bridal Appointments at the point of booking to secure your space, which is redeemable off your Dress purchase at your appointment.

NEW Bridal Sample Sale/Off-the-Rail Appointment - FREE (Monday & Tuesday only) 

We are running these appointments in January and February 2025 as a trial - Appointments are an hour long as a guide, and are designed for Bride's who either;  

  • Have a strong sense of what they are looking for already (whether from trying dresses on elsewhere or from knowing in themselves there is a certain aesthetic they are absolutely 100% set on)

  • Actively would like a more minimalist service; everyone is different and from our experience, some brides are looking for a more streamlined, low-key experience when looking for their dress. 

You will still receive our dedicated help & advice, and we will ask you to email us a list of your top 5 dresses from our website when you book your appointment, so we can hit the ground running for this shorter appointment timescale. Your appointment is for the Bride and up to 2 guests.

This service is by appointment on Monday or Tuesday only, and is Free.

Prom Appointments

 

Prom Appointments are available after-school Tuesday - Friday &  Sat/Sun daytime -  these slots go fast so please book your appointment to secure space.

As all the local schools have slightly different term dates and inset days, we leave the week-day calendar open, so this can be booked where appropriate.

During school holiday's we operate 7 days a week for Prom Appointments and are exceptionally busy - please book your appointment to secure space.

We run Prom-Book so once you have picked your dress, that dress is no longer available to anyone else that comes in who is going to your Prom.

One of the reasons we operate by appointment is because we take the Prom Dresses that are no longer available for your Prom off the shop floor before you come in (no falling in love with Dresses you can't have!)

The earlier you come in - the more selection you will have on the relevant school's Prom Book.

We have Prom Dresses to order, an Off-the-Rail Collection and Dresses in the Sample Sale.

We can usually order any of our main Prom Dress collection that's still available for your school in ANY size (4-28) and colour, up until just after February half-term. Following that, we are still able to order for you off the extensive stock our designer already has coming in, however we can't guarantee we can order every colour and size from that point onwards.

For Prom orders before the beginning of March we are able to facilitate payment plans.

Walk-ins - we operate by appointment with an exclusive use/locked door policy to give the customer's who are booked in the best service & privacy - so if we already have an appointment in (or it's a day off we have scheduled around booked appointments) you won't be able to come into the boutique to have a look or try dresses on. We will facilitate walk ins if we are free, and will post notes on the door on days we are open and have gaps later in the day. But ad-hoc space is rare, so we advise you do book an appointment to avoid disappointment.

We charge £10 at the point of booking for your Prom Appointment to secure the space - this is either refunded upon attendance to your appointment, or redeemed off your Dress purchase with us.

Testimonials

Tania Robinson, Paignton

"Absolutely amazing 😍

I'd visited 4 or 5 wedding dress shops around Devon before I got the chance to head to Paignton. I wish I'd not even bothered with the other shops. From the moment I stepped through the door I felt at ease and confident.

As a curvier lady I was unenthusiastic about finding my dream dress as my previous experiences hadn't been great. Amy listened to what I wanted, gave incredibly useful input without pushing my requests aside which other shops had done before and helped my entourage and I pick out some stunning gowns to try.

I cannot say enough positive things about this fantastic, sweet shop. There is an free on street parking right outside and the dresses in store are amazing, with plenty of different styles and price points.

Honestly ladies don't waste you time going anywhere else.

Thank you so much Amy & the team for turning my experience around and making my perfect gown a reality."

Sharon Bidgood, Devon

"We visited this shop today for my daughters wedding and the whole experience was amazing. There is a fantastic range of dresses which were completely different to other shops, and they also had numerous plus size dresses as well ... which were fabulous.
 
Amy was so helpful and friendly she made it a wonderful experience for all of us . This has to be one of my favourite bridal shops"

Carole Ann, Devon

"I was privileged to help my daughter chose her wedding dress today.

 

From entering the shop to leaving we were treated like royalty.

 

Our host was Amy,whose knowledge was amazing ,along with recognising when a choice of dress was not suitable.

We can not fault Amy and the fantastic array of dresses in store.

 

Definitely worth a 5***** award."
