Why not visit the shop or give Viv a call to discuss your
needs? Choosing the perfect wedding dress for your big
day should be fun and we aim to make it so. We are very
informal and would love to have a chat about your ideas, and
will be happy to suggest thoughts of our own if you are in
need of a few clues. There is no commitment and you can't
lose by talking it through, so why not give it a try? To
discuss your wedding requirements, or to speak to us about
a dress you may have to sell, contact Viv Mitchell.
Dress
Appointment
If you have seen a few wedding
dresses that you like, come and try them on in our bridal
shop in Cookham, Berkshire. Make an appointment with
Viv first because we need to be able to give you our undivided
attention. You can use our Appointment
Request Form. We
have a large stock of new dresses which are made to order in
your preferred size and colour. We also have some
off-the-peg sample dresses, so you will almost certainly
be able to find one that is perfect for you. Until
you try on your dream dress, you're never quite sure whether
the style you thought would work looks great when you
slip into it. We are very experienced and will tell you
what makes you look best and what does and doesn't
work.
We'll help you find the perfect style to suit your body shape. Once
you have found the perfect dress, we also have a good stock
of veils, tiaras and fascinators - and even a garter
or two! Our highly qualified seamstress Ella Wallis can
make any necessary adjustments. Detailed
directions to find us are included below.
