Buyers Testimonials
"Dear Zoe, From my first contact with Brides of Bath to our final meeting you made me feel extra special. You were both courteous and friendly, professional and discreet. I was feeling far from a princess until I spoke with yourself. I was an international customer, but you did everything you could to make my visit easy and productive. I really, really mean it when I say thank you, you made my day! My dress is fab and in mint condition at a fraction of the original price. Just as you described it. I had something 'different' in mind and had all but given up hope of finding it, let alone affording it...! When the big day arrives I shall forward you some photos. Did I say thank you? ;-)
Lauren Derbyshire, County Clare - Ireland, February 2010
"Dear Zoe, Many thanks once again for all the help finding a suitable dress for my daughter Bethan! We were so relieved to have all the stress taken out of the situation and Bethan is absolutely delighted with her dress. Thanks so much for all your patience and help. We will certainly recommend you!"
Helen James, Keynsham, February 2010
"Before visiting Brides of Bath, I had been to lots of different bridal shops and found it all quite rushed and impersonal. My experience with Zoe at Brides of Bath couldn't have been more different! The range of dresses was fantastic, Zoe was friendly, professional and clearly knew what suited my shape. I bought my beautiful wedding dress that day and can't wait to wear it on my big day!"
Laura Cole, Birmingham, December 2009
"Dear Zoe, I heard about Brides of Bath through my friend. I was so impressed by how you were with my friend that I immediately wanted to go to you when I got engaged. You offer such a lovely, warm and personal service without any aggressive sales tactics, which is exactly what I was looking for. You never made me feel pressured into buying anything and you gave me the oportunity to try on different styles so I could get an idea of what suited me best. I found my perfect dress and can't wait to wear it when I get married in May! (I will send you photos as promised)."
Samantha Sant, Basingstoke, November 2009
"Dear Zoe, I bought a beautiful dress from you back in the Summer for my wedding at Priston Mill in September. Catherine Miller did my alterations and on the day it was absolutely perfect, Peter adored it and we just had the best day ever. I have sent you some pictures so that you can see how perfect it looked...thank you so much!!!”
Klaire Alexander, Bath, November 2009
"I was recommended Brides of Bath by a bridesmaid of another girl who had bought her dress from Brides of Bath and loved it. I found an absolutely beautiful dress that was only the 3rd wedding dress that I had ever tried on but I instantly loved. I think that Brides of Bath has a good selection of dresses in lots of differing styles. It provided me with a more affordable way to have an expensive dress that is as good as new! My friends and I received a very warm and friendly welcome and I appreciated the constructive comments about each dress, as it helps to have the right amount of help when choosing a dress. Thanks Zoe for helping find such a lovely dress and I would definitely recommend Brides of Bath to friends in the future."
Suzanne Coulter, Exeter, October 2009
"My experience at Brides of Bath was fantastic. A personalised service that was both professional and comfortable. The website doesn't do the dresses justice, a visit is a must! Time and care goes into the service and the advise on hand from Zoe is fantasic relating to style, accessories and fittings. My dress was a great price, in great condition and will hopefully get a great reaction from all those who see it on my forthcoming wedding day!"
Charlotte Gibbs, Bristol, September 2009
"From the first time I checked out the website, Brides of Bath seemed to be perfect for me. I had been a bit hesitant to book appointments at larger boutiques, and found the idea of going to see Zoe much more enjoyable. Her space is professional but comfortable and I had enough time to try on all the dresses that interested me, finding the 'right one' on my first visit. Zoe has given great advise and guidance where possible and has left me feeling as though I'm not the only one invested in my having the perfect wedding! Thanks so much again for all your help Zoe....pictures will be in the mail...! "
Brooke Storer, Bristol, August 2009
"Having dreaded the thought of going around bridal shops and being schmoozed by ladies in an awful lot of make-up, I was delighted when I found Brides of Bath on the internet. It felt alot more informal than any of the other shop websites I had looked at and I really liked the fact that the dresses were recycled, working in the environmental sector as I do. When I went to see Zoe it was exactly as I had hoped, very relaxed and it was good fun trying everything on. I hadn't expected to find a dress that day, I was more after ideas and a starting point, as I had no idea what I wanted really. So it was great that I not only came away with a dress, but also shoes and a recommendation of someone to do the alterations needed! I am so glad I chose Brides of Bath and would recommend it to anyone."
Zoe Williamson, Wotton Under Edge, July 2009
"
Dear Zoe, Thank you so much for your time and helping me find a dress! It was really enjoyable and very special for both my sister and I. The business you've set up is brilliant and you're such a lovely person to run it, it puts all those snooty places to shame! Thanks again. Amanda"
Amanda Tyrrell, Bath, May 2009"
Dear Zoe, I'm pleased to say that one of the reasons I chose my dress from Brides of Bath was you and your warm service. I visited quite a few 'big wedding shops' where the contact with the ladies was ok, but not great like you. You gave Alex and I time to discuss our choices and you were not "pushy" like other women had been. Your collection of dresses is different to the 'big shops' which made Brides of Bath unique and very attractive to me. I want you to know that you have a great business, are a great sales person, and the service you provided from the first day I tried the dresses to the day that I collected 'the one' was smooth, simple and very enjoyable. I will (and already have!) recommended you and your shop without any hesitation. I wish you all the best with your future and I will definitely send you a photo of me with my gorgeous dress on. Thanks again for making a future bride very happy!"
Nadege Coignard, Chippenham, March 2009"
At Brides of Bath I found what I could not find anywhere else - gorgeous, quality second-hand goods, and an attentive, welcoming, friendly, professional service and advice. I found my stunning designer wedding dress (previously featured in "Hello!" magazine), which I am extremely happy with, and I also found the most perfect bridesmaid dress for my daughter which she adores. There was a very good selection of dresses, shoes and other items, which were all of top quality. I found beautiful shoes to match both dresses and I know that on my wedding day both my daughter and I will feel amazing wearing our 'Brides of Bath' outfits. Thank you Zoe!!"

Sellers Testimonials
"
I had such a fantastic experience with Brides of Bath. My dress sold for the full asking price within 2 weeks and I couldn't be happier that it has gone to another bride to wear on her special day. I tried selling on Ebay and other wedding dress sites, but with no luck, so it was a real pleasure to deal with Zoe at Brides of Bath."
Joanne Parke, Bath, April 2008 "
It was a really tough & emotional decision to part with my dress as all brides will know, but Zoe made the whole process so easy & painless. My dress sold in just five weeks, it will make another bride happy & the icing on the cake is that I get some money back to pay off the wedding overspend!"

Kate Williams, Yorkshire, August 2009
"I had a great experience with Brides of Bath and communication was excellent throughout the sale. I had all the faith that Zoe would sell my dress to someone who would love it as much as I did. I'd highly recommend selling with Zoe - the cheque has gone into my son's trust fund as I wanted to do something special with the money."
Clare McGill, Bradford on Avon, October 2009
"Dear Zoe, Thank you very much for selling my wedding dress - I'm glad that it has gone to a good home. It was a lovely surprise to receive the cheque in the post today, and I would not hesitate to recommend Brides of Bath to friends wishing to sell their dresses, or to buy a dress."
Lucy Thorpe, Coventry, October 2009
"I was so pleased with the Brides of Bath Service - it really made the sale of my wedding dress hassle free. I'll enjoy thinking of another bride enjoying the dress on her special day - much better than it just hanging in my wardrobe for years to come. The money has come at a great time for us. We're expecting our first baby, so this can go towards the new nursery! Perfect!"
Kim Hector, Bath, November 2009

Bea Hooper, Somerset, December 2009
"I have been really pleased with the service of Brides of Bath. You couldn't have made it easier for me. The process was exactly as explained on your website and it all happened very quickly. I am really glad that I found your website and will certainly recommend it to others."
Clare Harrington, Leeds, January 2010
"Brides of Bath offered me the perfect option for selling my wedding dress. Parting with the most special dress of your life is a very difficult decision. However, using Brides of Bath the process was seamless and involved very little effort from me the seller. I had considered using other selling routes but couldn't face having people coming to my home, and I couldn't commit to the time that involves. Zoe had to source some additional buttons that had come off the dress, but nothing seamed too much trouble for her. The website provides excellent photos of all the dresses it sells, really showing them in their best light for future brides. Brides of Bath managed to sell my dress in a very short period of time, and I hope that the next bride that will wear it, enjoys her day as much as I did! Thank you to Brides of Bath for making the sale so straight forward and easy for me."
Penny Craig, Redhill, Surrey, February 2010
