"Today Jane helped me to pick my perfect wedding dress. From the moment I walked in the door she made me at home and completely at ease. To say she has only been doing this a year is almost unbelievable; from her professionalism, expertise and warmth I would've thought she had been doing this her whole life. To be honest I was really nervous about today, but she made the experience a truly joyful one. She knew just what to say and suggest and she is such a lovely person - you don't mind getting down to your knickers in front of her after only knowing her 5 minutes haha! Glowing reviews from my Mum and two bridesmaids as well as she made the day really fun and inclusive for them by encouraging them to have fun with the veils, bringing them cakes and prosecco too. From head to toe, thank you so much for today - it was perfect and much more than I could have ever hoped! Would recommend this lady and her beautiful dresses to anyone."

"So today I said ‘yes’ to a beautiful wedding dress at Celebrating Curves Bridal, I went there after a truly awful experience at another bridal store. Jane is truly wonderful she understood just how deflated my bad experience had left me, and within minutes of being in the shop, I felt as if Jane was an old friend. She has the patience of a saint and I truly believe that if I had wanted to, Jane would have let me try on every dress in the shop, and the good thing was I actually fitted into every dress! The shop and gowns are stunning and Jane makes the experience fun for all your entourage, my Daughters had such fun trying on veils and tiaras whilst I was slipping in to stunning dresses. I will be recommending Jane to everyone and I'm so thankful that Jane will be helping me along to my big day."

"Today I went to find a dress for my wedding and after a horror of an experience, I was dreading it to say the least! From the minute I walked in I felt welcome and at ease! All the dresses were beautiful and there was so much choice that I could pick from that actually fitted me! I was made to feel beautiful and I can't thank Jane enough for her help. I couldn't have asked for anyone better than herself to help me! I found the ‘one’, which happened to be the very first dress I tried on and I absolutely love it! Can't wait to get it back on in January! Thanks again Jane and I will definitely be recommending you and your beautiful shop to everyone I know."

"Never thought I'd be buying a wedding dress today. Had the best experience ever today. Loved every minute of it, I was very nervous at first and did not feel comfortable at all. But after 5 minutes of being there I felt amazing. Found the dress for me, and Jane picked it after the ones I chose were just not right for me. So happy and so amazed at how good it all went. 100% will be recommending. Thank you so much xxx"

"I cannot express how much of a lovely experience I had with Jane. It was my first wedding dress appointment and from the moment we got there, Jane made me feel so at ease and I totally relaxed. The choice of dresses are lovely and as they are all made for women with curves it makes you feel amazing trying them on and not trying to imagine what they should look like. Would highly recommend Celebrating Curves Bridal."

"Would like to say a big thank you to Jane for my lovely appointment today. The shop is beautiful and the little added touches like the wooden heart shaped hangers to choose dresses are brill. You were so helpful, knowledgable and not pushy or annoying like I have found at other shops, my mum and sister in law to be also said how relaxed it was. The choice of dresses was great and available to try on in a 'proper' size so I wasn't wedged into them! The price of the dresses was very reasonable... unlike another shop which was ridiculously overpriced! I'm so happy I've found my dress today and I'm really excited that you will be helping me along to my big day Jane, you are a lovely person with a fantastic business and I will definitely be recommending you to everyone!"

"Best bridal shop ever. Lovely, supportive atmosphere, let me try on loads of dresses, listened to my worries, advised, is rushing my order even though my wedding is only 8 weeks away, and best of all, after I spent all weekend panicking that I'd chosen the wrong dress, Jane opened up late to let me come and retry my dress on to reassure my crazy brain that I'd made the right decision! Don't go anywhere else for your dress!!"

"Well I finally took the plunge and visited a wedding dress shop. Any anxious curvy brides out there need to visit this place. Jane is amazing and makes you feel so at ease. The shop is booked solely for your appointment and it's a large private dressing room with a separate room to show your entourage. What a pleasant experience and I said ‘yes’ to a beautiful dress. I actually feel like a bride now and not just a wedding planner."

"Absolutely in-love with this dress shop. From start to finish Jane made me and my 5 guests feel so welcome and comfortable. I'd been to multiple places before coming here and not one of them match the service and quality offered here at Celebrating Curves Bridal. My family loved the wooden plaques with things wrote on such as 'brides pick' 'mother of the bride' etc so much so I didn't get to pick one myself! It's the touches like this that made everyone feel involved. We didn't end up leaving until nearly 9pm- that's service you can't get from other shops that close at times between 3:30-4:30 and only open on certain days- which was perfect for me. It meant so much my mum could finally come dress shopping with me as she hadn't been able to at other places due to such restrictive opening hours.
I ended up buying my dream dress with no hesitation and cannot recommend Celebrating Curves enough.
Thank you Jane xx"

"My first proper dress experience so i went just to get ideas. Never thought I'd actually find 'THE ONE' as soon as I stepped through the door. Jane - Amazing, welcoming, patient. She told me to go home an think about it rather than make a rash decision. (Not many people do that) I said ‘YES’ anyway and Jane even let me keep the dress there so I could bring my mum, auntie and mother-in-law to-be to the shop for the same experience. Been back down again today and Jane WASN'T being pushy and made everyone feel welcome again. Had a few laughs. Everyone complimented on how nice Jane was and the shop is lovely. Looking forward to going back for the flower girl dresses. Xxx"

- Emma Kadziola
★★★★★
"All I can say is thank you so so much for today - all of your dresses are absolutely stunning and due to my dress disaster before I was worried I wouldn't have much choice, because of only having 15 weeks left before the big day, but I had more choice than I could have imagined and found the most gorgeous dress, that makes me feel like a princess and with your help I've gone from dreading my wedding day - to not being able to wait to marry my Mr. Thank you for everything you have done for me today, it means a lot and I would highly recommend you to everyone xx"

"Well what can I say! What a lovely place, Jane was amazing such a lovely lady I felt so comfortable. I was dreading the whole dress shopping process but I had a great time!! I think I tried 8 dresses on and wasn't rushed even though it was late in the evening. My friends had fun too!!! I would recommend this shop to anyone Jane has a great selection of dresses!! So if your a curvy girl and want the dream dress this is the place to go!! Thank you Jane x"

"My friend Sarah had been let down by Formal Affair closing and had no idea whether her dress and veil had even been ordered!! Sarah made an evening appointment and we didn't leave till 9pm after arriving just before 6:30pm. Jane couldn't have been more accommodating, she got us drinks, biscuits and fondant fancies! She made picking dresses fun with little wooden hearts with "Mum's pick", "Bridesmaids pick", "This could be my dress", "This is gorgeous!", and such like. And having a photo with a heart frame saying we said yes after picking the dress was a lovely touch.
We felt right at home, with Jane giving advice and suggesting dresses she thought might suit Sarah. The whole experience was delightful, relaxed and not at all rushed. I'm so thankful to Jane for stepping in and saving the day, making my best friend feel happy about her big day!! Not least by tracking down the original order with the suppliers, but this now being redundant since she found her perfect dress at Celebrating Curves Bridal!! Great range of dresses for real women! Can't recommend this place enough!
Thank you! Xx"

"I had the best time here this morning. Jane made me, my mum and friend feel so welcome. We had such a laugh. I felt so comfortable with Jane which is a big deal when you're in and out of dresses. The first dress I tried on ended up being "the one" although the second one was very close. The dresses are beautiful and there's a range of styles for everyone. I would definitely recommend this shop (and Jane!) to anyone wanting to find the perfect dress in a relaxed atmosphere.
Thank you Jane for being so great! Look forward to seeing you in a few months time!"

"I'm not sure where to start with the fantastic experience I had finding my dream dress at Celebrating Curves Bridal with the amazing Jane, as we all know the most exciting part of planning your wedding is finding the most beautiful dress that makes you feel like a princess on your special day. For me I found this hard, I wasn't looking forward to trying or finding my wedding dress at all in fact I was dreading it and couldn't wait to get it out of the way... Until the second I walked in to the shop and was greeted by Jane I literally felt the weight fall of my shoulders, I can not thank Jane enough for how comfortable and how welcoming she made not only myself feel but my mum and sister too! As she walked us through to where the dresses were I just over flowed with excitement I tried a few dresses on and loved them all - but obviously there was that ‘one’ that just made me feel a million dollars and this was a dress Jane helped me pick out. I think I was twirling around and dancing about in it for about 30 minutes, I didn't want to take it off as I never imagined myself feeling that way in my wedding dress. I know how hard it is shopping for normal clothes being a plus size girl never mind your dream wedding dress, but with Jane making you feel so comfortable and being extremely helpful! I promise you that Celebrating Curves is where you will find your dream dress, if you are feeling anything like I did. I can not wait for my dress to arrive and try it on with all my bridesmaids being there this time, as I will feel 110% comfortable and confident all thanks to Jane. Xx"

"I cannot even describe how amazing this shop, and this lady is! I haven't dared step into an 'average' bridal store - I've heard so many horror stories, and I didn't want what should be an amazing day and exciting time, to be full of stress, upset and self-loathing. Jane put my mind to rest as soon as I stepped foot in Celebrating Curves! For a start, the actual shop itself is stunning. You walk in and it's like being in your own lounge, full of wedding dresses and beautiful things! Jane even provided some bubbles and much needed coffee, along with some adorable little cupcakes. It was just such a lovely experience. Jane is such an incredible lady, she made me feel so comfortable straight away and was full of advice, she knew what I'd like better than I knew myself! This was my second shop I'd been to, and I said Yes to the dress there and then!! All in all, you've made it a wonderful experience, thank you Jane!"

"Jane was absolutely fantastic, my cousin had been let down by another shop and with only 14 weeks till her wedding Jane pulled out all the stops. I can't praise this shop or Jane enough, lovely shop with a relaxing atmosphere, beautiful dresses and gorgeous surroundings. Thank you so much again Jane, your a superstar xx"

"From the (many!) bridal shops I visited, celebrating curves was by far the best experience! Jane is amazing and makes you feel so welcome and comfortable from the minute you make the appointment. Nothing is too much trouble and her help and advice is amazing. The whole experience was exactly how bridal shopping should be! Not only did she make me feel comfortable but was so welcoming to the whole party who came with me! I cannot praise her enough, if there were more stars I'd give them! I wish Jane every success in the future and will definitely recommend her to any brides to be I meet!"

"As Mum of the bride-to-be I'd like to say thank you to Jane. The experience was excellent and Jane's lovely personality shone through. The store is lovely, so welcoming and all the dresses and accessories are very well presented. I hope you go from strength to strength."
- Jackie Rowan
★★★★★
"Thank you to Jane who put up with a revisit and me being spoilt for choice. Nothing was too much trouble. It was a hard decision because there are so many beautiful gowns, to fit all shapes and sizes. The great thing is you can step out of your comfort zone to try dresses you'd never dream of trying. I eventually picked a dress that I wouldn't normally have looked at in any other shop, as I would've thought it wasn't for my size. Jane turned a nightmare into a dream, then reality."

"I'm already married, so have visited a lot of bridal shops when choosing my dress. However, Celebrating Curves is the best bridal shop by far! I'm so over the moon for my best mate and bride to be that she found you. You made her experience everything that you hope for when going wedding dress shopping. Bubbly, nibbles, a gorgeous shop and a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Perfect, thank you!! Xxx"

"(If there was an option beyond 5 stars I'd pick that one!). I didn't really have a clue what I was looking for other than 'not a bell tent and not a bin bag'!!!! Jane is incredibly friendly. She puts you at ease from stepping through the door. She has great advice and passion for us curvier brides. The dresses are stunning and flatter any figure, body shape and style. She helped me figure out what I looked good in and found 'The One' for me."
- Gemma Louise Tate

"Wow! Not only did I find the most perfect dress but the whole experience, hospitality, chats, laughs and giggles made it that bit more fantastic! What I love the most about Jane and Celebrating Curves is being able to walk into a shop and talk to someone that is so down to earth! I instantly liked the atmosphere and hospitality and felt comfortable from the start. The whole experience so far has been amazing and I cannot wait to keep visiting until the final fitting Eeeekk!! Special thanks to Jane for all your help and guidance! I would highly recommend xx"

"Well what an amazing experience I had today! Firstly I messed up a little and didn't confirm my appointment - Sorry about that, but it turned out to be lovely as me and another bride shared the time. I felt at ease, so comfortable it was like being at home! I couldn't recommend this place enough to any bride never mind if you have a fuller figure! Thank you so much for our experience today-we will be in touch!!"

"What can I say about Jane and Celebrating Curves? I am so pleased I chose to come to Jane's little haven to shop for my dress. Jane made my 'entourage' and I so very welcome and helped us choose some beautiful dresses. I did find the 'one' and am very excited to receive it later in the year!
I can highly recommend Celebrating Curves and can only say if you want to visit somewhere that's relaxed and has a variety of curvy style dresses, book an appointment now!"
Thank you so much Jane

She knew what I liked and she actually picked my dress, what I have fell in love with. I wouldn't have picked it but she said try this on for me, so I did and OMG it's my dress. So can't wait to wear it on my wedding day.
