A selection of kind words from our Clifton Brides...
Rachel W, Bride
A huge thank you! I absolutely loved my dress - so many guests said they had never seen anything like it and loved it just as much as I did. I felt incredible and the whole process of choosing my dress was such a joyful experience. Thank you so much for everything!

Such a beautiful boutique, calm and elegant. We were pleasantly surprised at how reasonably priced the dresses were and found my daughters dream dress "off the peg" so could take back to Lincolnshire the same day too! Thank you Michaela for making Helena's day!

Michaela was just so friendly and just the loveliest person! I felt like I was finding a dress with my Auntie / Fairy Godmother, Thank you so much!
Ashley T, Bride
We had a wonderful time in Clifton Brides with Michaela. She is really attentive, listened to what I wanted and had a beautiful range of dresses at such great price points. We felt so welcome and comfortable and enjoyed every second being in the boutique. I fell in love with one of Michaela's picks and felt so beautiful! It is almost a shame that she helped me find the dress so quickly because we would to have the experience all over again!
After saying YES to the dress we even had a glass of fizz to celebrate and this was the perfect touch to the appointment. The service here really exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to come back once the dress arrives in store! Thank you again to the Clifton Brides Team!

Thank you for all your help Michaela!
I originally came in to try on a paricular dress but after speaking to you about what I was looking for you showed me "My" dress! I didnt want to try another on. You knew instantly what would suit me and what I was looking for . I fell in love the minute I put the dress on. You made me feel like I was the most important , beautiful person at every visit. Thank you so very much . xxx

5* from me!
Thank you so much Zoe for helping me feel so calm and comfortable at my appointment . You were my 3rd shop and I'm so glad I came to you! I was anxious about being it all being a bit too posh as youre in Clifton , but the dress Ive chosen is less than I saw in other shops!!
Thank you again , I cant wait to wear her in February x
Elizabeth M, Bride
Years after going past their beautiful shop and admiring their windows, I wanted to make Clifton Brides my first appointment. Michaela is lovely, honest (and funny!) and really put me at ease. I chose a few dresses that were nice, but not "IT". Michaela suggested one that was actually the opposite of what I saw myself in , but it was perfect. I wanted to sleep on it and go back with my mum and the second time I tried it on it was 110% THE ONE. I only had a few months before my wedding , but this was not a problem. Michaela called the designer while I was there and my dress was delivered in a matter of weeks without any stress. I felt amazing in it and my fiance was blown away! I really didn't want to take it off.I couldn't have hoped for a better experience. (I confess I did go to another 2 shops before going back to Clifton Brides , but the service was no way as good and far too pushy for me. Michaela clearly loves what she does and I am so glad I chose my dress there.)
Pheobe H, Bride
I just want to say how amazing Michaela and the Team at Clifton Brides are!
I was very worried to shop for wedding dresses as I have a breast prosthetic and was worried about my shape.
This was never a problem here as Michaela made me feel extremely comfortable and helped guide me towards what ended up being my dream dress (which was also UNDER my budget) and I fell in love with it!
I can not recommend this shop enough. Thank you xx
Naomi J, Bride
First shop First Dress and one that you picked out - it was really meant to be!
Nicki M, Mother of the Bride
Quite simply the most wonderful wedding dress shop we visited. From the moment we arrived to the Prosecco at the end, we had a great experience.
Michaela was genuinely interested in my daughter and knew exactly which dresses would suit and work with the 'theme' of the wedding.
She allowed us time to soak in the dresses one by one but volunteered her thoughts when absolutely appropriate. Michaela was welcoming, experienced, calm and knowledgable (not to mention the beautiful variety of dresses she has) which is just what we needed and at the pivotal moment of saying 'yes'
All the stops were pulled out to make it so extra special. Thank you for helping us find THE dress and giving us the best appointment we'd had."

I had such a wonderful experience finding my dress at Clifton Brides. It was the first shop I tried and I am so glad that I wont be needing to go anywhere else. Michaela was fantastic and so so kind and helpful. She picked out an absolutely gorgeous selection of dresses and I ended up going for the first dress she picked. She's amazing! Wonderful experience all round and I would recommend to anyone.

Sarah HH, Bride
I'm in awe of Michaela and the team at Clifton Brides. From start to finish the service was superb and nothing was EVER too much trouble. From finding the dress in August, a cheeky second visit in January to show my mum the dress to the final tweaks and collection before the big day , I was welcomed with genuine warmth and interest and always a smile. I'm so sad it's all over. Why would you ever go anywhere else. The boutique is stunningly elegant and offers fantastic choice although my dress was the first one I tried on! Thank you so very much to Michaela and team...you made me feel so special.

I just want to say thank you so much for helping me find the most amazing dress! I had so many compliments on the dress throughout the day.
Thank you for being so helpful throughout the process. You kept me calm and comfortable and was so patient. I'm pretty sure in changed in and out of my dress a million times before I made my decision! I could not recommend you enough.
Thank you again , Phung

Thankyou so much to Hannah for helping me find my dream gown, I can not wait for my very own to come into store and enjoy all the experiences to come, like gown arriving and fittings. If you want that special experience I really couldn’t recommend Clifton Brides enough. xxx
Sian D, Bride
Thank you so much Michaela , for literally saving the day!
With only 7 weeks before my wedding you found me a dress off the rail that fitted me perfectly after a disaster with my first dress elsewhere. I really wish I'd have come to you first . I'm finally excited to wear my dress!
Nina A, Bride
Thank you for all your help and for the wonderful experience in finding my perfect dress. From helping helping me choose, to answering my million questions and being so accommodating with every request. I can't recommened you enough!
Beatrice B, Mother of the Bride
My daughter had shopped around for her wedding dress for several months before coming here, but nowhere made us feel as welcome and relaxed as we did at Clifton Brides. From the moment we arrived, Michaela put us completely at ease the appointment felt calm, friendly and enjoyable from start to finish. She guided and supported us beautifully, offering suggestions without ever making us feel rushed or pressured. We all felt involved in the process and it was such a lovely experience for not only my daughter but for myself, her Maid of Honour and Sister in Law on the sofa.
My daughter looked absolutely beautiful and said that for the first time trying on dresses, felt it too! We left knowing we had found the perfect dress thanks to Michaela's expertise and care. We look forward to returning to the boutique when the dress arrives!

Emma A, Bride
I had my first dress fitting at Clifton Brides today, and as per usual , the service and experience has been incredible. From my first visit over a year ago now , I only have lovely things to say. Michaela and her team are so professional yet friendly and make made feel so welcomed each time I visited.
The memory Michaela has for all her brides is mind blowing - she remembers names , dresses and locations without hesitation which shows how much passion she has for her business and the work she does.
I'm excited to becoming a Mrs in just 6 weeks, but will miss my visits for sure! Thank you so very much .

Helena H, Bride
Michaela and her team are absolutely fantastic. From start to end my whole dress journey was seamless! I was made to feel so special at each and every appointment and having the whole boutique to ourselves for it was such an experience. Michaela's selection of gowns were exquisite and her suggestions were spot on! I fell in love with the first dress she picked out for me and it was a dream come true! I was updated throughout the whole process and even when coming in to try on my dress once it had arrived, was greeted with the same warmth as the first time I visited - Michaela even had a glass of bubbles ready to celebrate! x

Alison A, Auntie of the Bride
I was very fortunate to be asked by my niece to go wedding dress shopping with her , we went to some nice places and then we went to Clifton Brides .Well what can I say? Just stunning. The service was excellent nothing was too much trouble . We made numerous visits which we all looked forward to. On 27th May my niece Laura was married the dress was absolutely stunning it fitted so perfectly and was so her. It was such a fantastic day my only disappointment is that we no longer need to visit Clifton Brides. I may even after 29 years of marriage consider renewing my vows just to have the Clifton Brides experience . Thank you xx
Paloma C, Bride
Thank you so much Michaela for all you did to make my day go so smoothly.
I am very grateful to you for helping me through my little dress wobble after having my daughter, you were so patient and really put my mind at ease at such a stressy time . Thank you again x
Jennifer MK, Bride
Dear Michaela and team at Clifton Bride, Thank you SO much!
I was dreading shopping for my dress and put it off so many times (I had my shoes a year before the wedding and pretty much everything else planned!)
​
On my first visit to Clifton Brides , mum and I were made to feel so welcome and at ease. It was only 5 weeks since I'd had my baby son , so I wasn't feeling terribly body confident to say the least! I was certain I wanted a floaty dress but having tried these on, they were not for me.
Michaela suggested I tried a full lace one on, and though I dismissed it on the rail, it was perfect, and I knew it was "The One". It is so true you know when its the one..
I felt like a princess all day and honestly didn't want to take it off!
Choosing Clifton Brides was the best decision I could have ever made. From start to finish, the whole process was perfect. I will happily recommend you to everyone! Thank you again xx
Rachel W, Bride
Dear Michaela and the team!
I just wanted to say a massive thank you. I loved my dress and lots of guests had said they had never seen a dress like it and absolutely loved it. I felt absolutely amazing - thank you so much for everything. I loved every minute of the process of choosing my dress and would recommend Clifton Brides to everyone!
Alaya P, Bride
Thank you thank you thank you for everything! I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt and all thanks to your help picking me out my DREAM dress!

I will continue to recommend to all my bride to be friends! Thank you to Michaela and all the team for your help!
