Our brides
Here are just a few comments from our many previous happy brides, we have absolutely loved helping you all find your dream gown!

I cannot thank Special Day Bridal enough – especially the lovely Marie – who has been so incredibly supportive and knowledgeable throughout the whole experience from trying on different dresses to finding the special one. They have a massive selection of dresses in so many styles and for every bride – there is something for everyone! It has truly been a lovely, stress-free experience – nothing is too much and I absolutely love my dress. Thanks so much to Marie for all your care and for being so friendly x

My daughter was so excited to find her perfect dress. Special Day did not disappoint. Dorata looked after us from the moment we stepped into the shop on our first visit. We had the private suite to ourselves and Dorata wowed us with her expertise and friendly nature. My daughter was made to feel very special as every bride to be should. We returned the following Saturday with Mum in Law and my daughter said ‘Yes to the dress’. Special Day is special place and I would urge any future bride to step into this magical place. Highly recommended.

Michelle was outstanding. She made trying on wedding dresses so much fun, she was patient and took so much care in helping me to decide. My Mum, sister and I had a fantastic time at Special Day during both visits. I’m beyond delighted with my wedding dress and can’t recommend Special Day and Michelle enough!! Saying yes to the dress with a glass of champagne in the shop is a memory I’ll cherish for life! Thank you

This was the 3rd shop I went to and a wonderful experience. All staff are lovely and helpful. No pressure. Massive selection which I hadn’t realised before how big they are. Lots of very reasonable prices dresses. I tried on a large selection and came back to confirm once I’d thought about it. All the fittings and follow ons were seamless. Can’t recommend enough!

I walked into the shop with my sister feeling quite emotional. Our mum passed away unexpectedly last year leaving us completely devastated. Obviously this was one of the things we all wanted to do together… Wedding Dress shopping!! Doing this without her made it even more difficult, I also felt nervous having no idea of the dress I wanted.
I was greeted by Marie who was so friendly and made me feel at ease straight away. After trying on so many different styles of dresses I was left feeling completely overwhelmed and still unsure what dress I wanted but managed to narrow it down to two! There was no pressure from Marie for me to decide there and then, so she made a 2nd appointment for me to go back to try the two dresses on again. A week later I went back and met Marie. I tried on my two dresses and knew instantly which one I wanted and there were tears all round! Not only did she help find my perfect dress but also helped finding the perfect veil to go with it. I would highly recommend this store in Keynsham to anyone looking to find a wedding dress and I personally would like to say a very big Thank you to Marie for helping me saying ‘Yes to the dress!’

Thank you to Marie and everyone at Special Day for helping us pick out the most beautiful mother of the bride dress and hat. My mum looked absolutely stunning on my wedding day, & she felt amazing in her outfit! Our experience at the shop was exceptional. I booked an appointment for my mum, my sister in law and I to come in and take a look at some dresses in March, and we all fell in love with the dress that she choose, it was perfect and she had to buy it. My mum throughly enjoyed the experience, Marie was so lovely and helpful with picking out dresses that suited her and made suggestions with accessories. & then we all had a glass of bubbly to celebrate – thank you!
Lauren Coppola
What a day! From start to finish I was made to feel the most important person in the room. The selection of dresses on offer was amazing. Michelle was fantastic too, offering alternatives, make suggestions and honest advice. So happy I picked Special Day to find my dream dress.

I visited the shop on Monday with my sister to find the perfect dress for my wedding. I cannot thank Julie enough for her assistance, a lovely lady. I am an older bride and wanted my dress to be age appropriate, simple and elegant. I had a dress in mind which I’d seen online but I tried some others on that Julie suggested. She made me feel at ease and comfortable with it all , and knew exactly what I wanted from a dress. I did purchase the dress that I had originally seen and im over the moon with it. I would absolutely recommend this shop to any bride. I look forward to going back when my dress comes in to have my alterations/fitting done. Thank you so much Julie for helping me choose my perfect dress and the glass of proscecco before we left.
Nicola Fitzgerald
It was such an amazing experience coming to your store. The lady who helped me was so lovely and really complementary, she helped me pick the style that suited me the best and made the me feel comfortable and confident at all times. I love my dress and can’t wait to come back. Thank you so much, it was an absolute wonderful day for me and my mum.
Emma Andrews
We had the an amazing experience! The lady from the shop (sorry I can’t remember her name) was so accommodating, nothing was too much trouble and what I liked the most was I didn’t feel pressured into buying something that I wasn’t 100% sure on. When we purchased the dress, the Prosecco was a lovely touch, it definitely felt like something worth celebrating. It was a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend to other bride to be’s.
Aston Cook

I visited special day and it was my first experience of trying on wedding dresses. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish (including booking the appointment). I was made to feel at ease by Michelle and the team who went above and beyond to make it a relaxing experience. I managed to say yes to the dress and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you to everyone at special day, it truly was a SPECIAL day!
Lucy Nagle

I recently said yes to the dress at special day bridal and I had such a wonderful experience! They have a fabulous variety of wedding dresses and there is definitely something to suit every bride in the collections they stock. I had the lovely Dorota as my stylist and she made me feel so welcomed, at ease and special. Nothing was too much trouble and I didn’t feel rushed at all. I had already browsed through online and chosen my favorite gowns and when I got there they were all ready to go hanging on a rail for me but she also gave me some time to have a browse through all the dresses in the store which I appreciated.
Dorota was a delight throughout my whole appointment and I knew she understood my vision of the type of dress I was looking for and she chose the perfect veil to compliment it. Thank you so much for making my wedding dress decision so easy and for providing me with a special moment (like other brides one I have dreamt about since I was little.) I would highly recommend this place to find your perfect wedding dress! Thank you to the whole team at special day bridal and an extra special thanks to Dorota. I can’t wait to come back in soon! Xx
Charlotte

I had a great experience wedding dress shopping here. Jackie was so helpful and and professional in helping me to select and compare dresses. Lots of choice of beautiful gowns within both the ‘take home today’ rack and the ‘to order’ dresses. Nothing was rushed and there was no pressure to choose/ buy. I highly recommend and expect we shall be back to look at mother of the bride outfits!
Sarah Wells

Can’t thank Marie & Dorota enough for making me feel so supported & special during the process of finding my wedding dress. I attended my first appointment on my own but Marie made me feel like I had my family & friends with me by how comfortable she made me feel. All of the teams communication is exceptional. They have a huge selection of dresses in store! The extra little touches they do throughout your appointment make a big difference. Would highly recommend attending!!
Aimee Collman
I can’t praise Special Day enough, lovely staff and really helpful and I managed to find my dream dress that I couldn’t find elsewhere! And at such an amazing price, I definitely will recommend to family and friends thank you x
Chloe Bidwell
I had the best experience at Special Day. Firstly Dorota was so welcoming and friendly, I instantly felt comfortable with her. We went though what I thought I wanted and what she would recommend. I ended up picking one of her suggestions! It was so laid back, they had a huge amount of beautiful dresses, I could’ve walked away with at least 5. I can’t wait to come back and try it on again! Thank you Dorota for making my experience such a special one. You’re brilliant at your job!
Alice Watkins
Would highly recommend this bridal store. They go above and beyond to help you find the right dress. Suggesting alterations and things that can be added to make it perfect for you. Nicola was lovely and made you feel at ease.
Trina Slocombe
Had a lovely experience this morning in your shop, the lady was lovely very helpful not at all pushy. I purchased a lovely dress for my daughter’s wedding in June, thank you very much.
Sally Hurley
Really helpful staff, not pushy or pressurising which makes for a much more relaxed feel and takes the stress out of the appointment. They couldn’t do anymore to help, super intuitive and understood the feel I was looking for with the first dresses pulled out. Fabulous range of dresses, but equally were open to suggestions to push the boundaries and try new dresses on. Would 100% recommend and forever be grateful I found my wedding dress with you. Thank you.
Lindsey Chappell

From the moment Michelle welcomed me into the shop I felt at ease….I found a fantastic dress thanks to Michelle who was a great help and advised me what suited me…would definitely recommend anyone who needs a mother of the bride to come here.
Kay Jones

Brilliant staff! Were incredibly helpful when choosing my bridal dress. They have a lovely selection, not over priced. The staff were not pushy like some bridal shops can be. Dorota was amazing! she made me feel so comfortable and was very experienced with tailoring. I had so many compliments on my dress on the day and absolutely loved wearing it. I highly recommended this bridal shop & loved the staff. My mum also bought her outfit here which was also beautiful. Thank you! X
SJ
I cannot thank Nikki enough, I was a very nervous bride to be. She made me feel so relaxed and at ease, I had a little bit of a moment where I felt nothing suited me, didn’t know what I wanted.. but Nikki helped me find my dream dress, highly recommend the ladies here.
Ella Sampson

Thank you so much for helping me find my dream dress!! Everyone was so helpful & welcoming. You understood the style I was looking for, nothing was rushed and you made me feel completely at ease. Huge thank you to Stacey who saved the day countless times with dress alterations! I will forever cherish my dream dress & I would recommend to anyone looking to say ‘yes to the dress’.
Chelsea
Great wedding shop with lovely and helpful staff and an amazing range of wedding dresses. Thanks so much for helping me find my wedding dress it was beautiful.
Rebecca Stinton
Thank you for a wonderful day and for helping me find my beautiful Mother of the Bride outfit. My personal stylist, Julie, was an absolute star and made the whole process so easy and relaxing. She made me feel very welcome the minute I arrived (I was 30 minutes late!) and at no point made me feel rushed with the time we had left. I ended up buying the first outfit I tried on, and it was picked by Julie and something I probably would not have chosen for myself! She helped match up a beautiful hat and I just knew this was the one. Julie gave professional and constructive advice, and I honestly believe I would not have found my outfit without her help. A lovely shop with really lovely Staff. Thank you again.
Carol Jones
Such great customer service! Nikki was amazing; she really knows her stuff and exactly what would suit me. I found my dream dress and couldn’t be happier. Would highly recommend!
Hannah Goebel

Thank you Special day Bridal. I went into wedding dress shopping not knowing where to start and you helped me find my perfect dress so quickly and effortlessly. Dorota you know the dresses so well and made me feel so supported and comfortable you really were amazing and I am so so glad I walked into your shop and found you out of all the other shops! Such a beautiful and impressive selection of dresses, it was breathtaking. I’m so excited to be working with you as part of my special day.
Pearl Lloyd-Jones
Absolutely amazing and helpful team… they brought my appointment forward incase of lockdown and I was not expecting to find my dream dress the first time but I did and could not be any happier about it! They made me feel so special it was unreal and such a lovely bunch… thank you so much! Xx
Chloe James

Being a plus size girl I was so worried about getting my wedding dress but special day made it such a lovely experience. Lovely staff you felt at ease at all times and they have beautiful dresses. We had our wedding day on 14th May and it was beautiful and I looked and felt like a queen so that you special day .

From start to finish Special Day staff were all great, they helped me find my perfect dress, made sure every detail was taken care of. The staff were very attentive and they didn’t mind my silly questions. I had so many comments about my dress on my wedding day! Thank you.

An enjoyable shopping experience trying to find an outfit for my son’s wedding. The staff were helpful but not pushy or intimidating and wanted to help you find an outfit you were happy to wear on such an important occasion.

Brilliant service from my consultant, very friendly staff. Would thoroughly recommend Special Day to bride to be and mother of bride or groom.
Marion Brain

Absolutely amazing experience helping to choose my daughter’s wedding dress.
The lovely Dorota helped Jodie choose her dress, giving lots of advice and suggestions. We visited on 2 consecutive Saturdays, the 1st visit was in the suite at the rear of the shop and had space for Jodie, myself, 3 sisters and mum in law. Jodie tried on several dresses and narrowed it down to 2. We returned this Saturday and Jodie said yes to her dress. Dorota was so patient with us all allowing us plenty of time and showing her expertise in all things dress, which helped massively. I would 100% recommend Special Day and look forward to returning to get my mother of the bride outfit.
Debbie Williams

Highly recommend Special Day for buying your wedding dress. This was my first time trying on wedding dresses and Dorota made us feel so well looked after. I selected a few dresses before the appointment but was able to look round the collection in person at the start of the appointment to see if there were any other styles I’d like to try. I got to try on lots of different dresses which helped me feel really confident in the style and dress I ended up buying! Very grateful to Dorota for making it such a great experience and all the helpful advice throughout including how dresses could be modified if needed. I found my dream dress and had such a lovely experience, highly recommend to others looking for their dress!
Zoe Simmons

This was my 2nd shop I attended that day which after the 1st I can’t say I was hopeful however Dorota completely changed my whole experience and we had a great afternoon. I explained personal circumstances to Dorota regarding alterations I may need later on. She paid attention to what I was trying on, what I did and didn’t like and to top it off she was able to talk me through how the dress can be altered as she is experienced in this area. To put the icing on the cake Dorota went and got a dress that she thought would be an option which ended up being the one! All the ladies in store were lovely and friendly and most importantly I never felt pressured! They also have such a range of dresses! I knew when I walked in i was going to be able to find my dress.
Rachael Essery
My experience was just truly beautiful. I had a bad experience in another bridal shop so was really worried it was going to happen again. But as soon as I walked in the store I was met with warmth and kindness. The lady (so sorry my mind gone blank on your name) made my experience unforgettable. She was patient with me as I was unsure on what I really wanted and made the time in the store amazing. I found two dresses I really like after trying on fair few. I didn’t feel pressured to buy them and now I will definitely be recommending the store. Thank you xx
Sophie Krisciunas

Had a lovely experience at Special Day finding my wedding dress. The amazing Dorota was so patient, helpful and kind and really made me feel at ease and special! Would highly recommend this bridal store.
Jodie Demmery
Could not thank Nikki enough, she made the day so easy and comfortable, we were all so at ease around her… she listened to everything I was looking for and found me the perfect dress and spent ages helping me get changed which was not an easy job so thank you so much Nikki.
Katie Stubbs
The service was brilliant. They were in contact before my appointment to make sure they knew which type of dress I wanted to try on. Then they had those dresses ready and a couple of others picked out on the day. I was made to feel comfortable and looked after on day. I managed to get a great deal on my dress in the sale and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a wedding dress to go here.
Beth Barry

We have came here for the bridesmaid dresses, my mum’s mother of the bride outfit and now her shoes. my mum was worried she wouldn’t find anything and said she definitely didn’t want a hat but found the perfect dress and bought a hat to go with it lol. always so much choice! lovely ladies, always very helpful and give great advice on what will suit you. highly recommend to anyone.
Charlotte Dumbleton

Would definitely recommend this shop, I bought my wedding dress 2 years ago, for my wedding that should have taken place last year, I’d been to other shops and felt really uncomfortable as they only had really small sizes, and not everyone is small, I went to Special Day and found my dress virtually straight away!!! I also bought my two bridesmaid dresses, which were stunning.
Sadly due to lockdown my wedding got postponed to 16th September this year, and Jackie at the shop was amazing, she replied to all my emails very quickly to re assure me on any concerns I had, I didn’t want to have my dress at home for 18 months while waiting to see if my wedding could or couldn’t go ahead? They kept the dress there for me in storage, along with the bridesmaid dresses for the whole 18 months at very minimal cost, and as soon as they were open had lots of contact to re arrange all my fittings. It was never too much trouble when ever I got in contact with the shop or the lovely Dorota who was carrying out the alterations. Myself and the bridesmaids had lots of fittings due to the amount of time that had elapsed since buying the dresses. We had the most amazing wedding last week and the dresses looked absolutely beautiful, I would definitely recommend this shop to any bride! Thanks for everything x
