We are having a lot of people turning up at the shop expecting to be able to 'walk in' at the moment. We are strictly by appointment only. This allows us to best manage the volunteers' time that we have available to us. We are often here doing early morning, late evenings, Saturdays & Sundays, and if we had set opening hours we wouldn't be able to accommodate these appointments. It also prevents ongoing appointments from being interrupted whilst we are helping customers find their special dress.

If you would like to book an appointment please call the shop on 01304 201154 and leave a message with your name and number, and someone will call you back.

We are finding it increasingly more and more frustrating with people not turning up to Bridal Appointments. We are a very busy shop that is run by volunteers who give up their own time to do our fittings. We also book up a good 4-6 weeks in advance. Out of the last 7 appointments, 5 have failed to turn up. None have made any kind of contact with us to let us know that they were no longer able to attend.

Please, if you have booked an appointment with us please let us know so that we can offer your appointment to someone else so that we are not wasting our volunteers precious time.

Really disappointed today. We are booked almost a month in advance up for appointments and have a cancelation list too. Tonight we came in after our usual hours to squeeze in 2 separate brides at short notice. 1 has not shown up at all despite having a confirmation call earlier today. The other has cancelled 15 minutes before the appointment. We are a small charity and work really hard, and most of our appointments are run by volunteers.

We understand that sometimes things need to be rearranged at short notice, but if you do need to cancel please just call us with as much notice as possible so we can offer your appointment to someone else.

Unfortunately this week it was announced that Dover has been placed in Tier 3 lockdown. All of our amazing staff and volunteers that work in the shop fall into the 'extremely clinically vulnerable' group' and with Covid cases still rising rapidly in our area we cannot put them at risk. With this in mind we have made the very difficult decision not to reopen the charity wedding dress shop again until Monday 4th January.

In keeping with our usual displays, today we changed our shop window to a beautiful winter wonderland! It features this stunning size 14 Ellis Bridal dress with a whimsical lace train priced at just £175. The look is completed with a cathedral, length ivory veil priced at £45.

Please do contact us if you would like to book an appointment in the new year!

Dear Customers,
Unfortunately due to lockdown we must close our lovely shop as we are not an essential service. Having been open for just 8 weeks this is obviously not ideal, but we would like to thank everyone for their support during this time and look forward to seeing all our lovely Brides soon!

We hope to reopen again on Wednesday 2nd December, subject to Lockdown not being extended.

We know that our shop window has gained lots of admirers and we will continue to try to change it each week :)

If you have any enquires please send us a pm.

01/11/2020

Sadly, in light of last nights lockdown announcement as a non essential business we will be closing from Thursday 5th November through to 2nd December. As a very new shop that has only been open for just 8 weeks this is obviously not ideal, but we are so grateful for the support that we have had during this time.

We will be contacting everyone that has appointments booked with us during this time to reschedule them over the next few days.

Stay safe everyone!
