Hello Sharon,
Hope you’re well?
I just wanted to send you some of our sneak peek pictures from Saturday, to show you how amazing the dress looked! I can’t thank you enough, I loved it and want to wear it again!
Thank you again!

Hi Sharon,
My girls were telling the venue staff how to fluff me up but I’m not sure they completely got it! Anyhow, there were lots of gasps when I walked in & I felt & looked amazing all day.
Thank you for helping to make it an amazing experience.

I cannot recommend Brides of York along with Sharon highly enough.
I was heading into wedding dress shopping with some trepidation, as what I really wanted didn’t seem to fit the current trends/styles I could see in most bridal shop windows. So I was worried I’d have an uncomfortable experience, not really finding what I wanted and ending with me needing to compromise.
Very luckily Brides of York was the first wedding dress shop I visited and my worries were dispelled instantly – Sharon was so friendly, professional and knowledgeable I instantly felt like I was in safe hands. After picking out some styles I liked, with Sharon’s expert approach I had found my perfect dress after only trying on two. Nothing I asked for or wanted was too difficult as Sharon seems to have built up a collection and an approach which allows for so much flexibility.
After choosing my dress, the whole process from ordering to final pick up was well communicated and smoothly run – meaning I had no stress or worries about my wedding dress at all. I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day, wearing a dress that was exactly what I had hoped for thanks to Sharon at Brides of York.

Hello Sharon,
I hope you are ok.
As promised, here are some photos of the day. We got some of the professional photos back as a teaser for the full set.
Thank you again for everything, the dress was beautiful and I can’t count the amount of people that complimented it.
Laura
Hello Sharon,
Hope you are well.
I would just like to thank you so very very much for the dress that I have.
I felt amazing in it !
The dress was so comfortable to wear on the day and I had such lovely comments from the guests….loved it !
Managed to keep the veil on until after the first dance!
The Registrars even commented on me wearing the veil over for walking down as they say its rare people do.
I have attached a few pics that I got back from the photographer at the weekend.
Thank you so much once again.
Best wishes,
Emma
Hi Sharon
Hope all’s well with you.
So… there were two loves on my wedding day – my wonderful husband, John, and my beautiful gown. I was thrilled with it 😘
We had a fabulous day, in spite of Storm Babet!
I’m attaching a few pics below, including one of my bridesmaid. Who got it together on the day & looked lovely in her dress.
Huge thanks once again, Sharon, for all your help with my dress. It was a joy to work with you. Your suggestions and personal touch (not to mention patience!) throughout were much valued.
With very best wishes,
Jane xx
Hi Sharon
I just wanted to say how wonderful the wedding was and what a joy it was to wear your stunning dress. The amount and the strength of the complements I received cannot be overstated! Everyone thought it was absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much for providing the dress of my dreams. I felt like a princess. Thank you also for making the whole experience so special.
My photographer Carys will send you a few pictures in due course.
Lucy xx
Hi Sharon
Tom and I had a wonderful wedding day, the sun came out just in time and we were able to get married next to the lake. Everyone commented on how stunning the dress was and I was so happy to be wearing it.You really made the experience of finding the perfect dress very special for me and my family, you are excellent at what you do and the love you put into your work really shows.”
Thanks for all of your help.
Take care
Laura xx
Hi Sharon
Just wanted to say thank you for helping me find my dress I felt so comfortable and beautiful in it
I’ve sent you some photos we haven’t had the full gallery yet but they look great so far!
I also wanted some advice I caught my heel on the hem of the underskirt and ripped it towards the end of the night it needs cleaning tok but not sure if I should get it fixed first? Or cleaned first and if it needs fixing any recommendations of where to take it? I’d be happy to bring it back to you if that was something you’d be able to do?
Many thanks again
Vicky
Hi Sharon,
Just a quick message to say we had the most amazing wedding day on Tuesday! I’ve attached a couple of pictures not sure what kind you’d want!
Thankyou for all your help and guidance leading up to our special day, I won’t hesitate to recommend you.
With love and thanks,
Mr and Mrs Tilford! xx
Hi Sharon,
Hope you’re well. Sorry I haven’t been in touch. We went away on honeymoon the day after the wedding and then we’re back at work last week when we returned so it’s been a little crazy.
We had an amazing day and my dress was gorgeous 🙂
Ruth was our photographer and has sent us some preview photos but as yet we don’t have the full album. I have attached a few from the day; a mixture of the preview pics form Ruth and those taken by family and friends 🙂
Rebecca xx
Hi Sharon,
I wanted to share some of the pictures from my big day with you.
The dress was absolutely perfect and I had so many compliments on it.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for how easy and wonderful you made the entire experience of choosing the most important dress of my life!
You are amazing at what you do 🤍
Lots of love,
Jess xx
Hi Sharon,
It was lovely speaking to you earlier today. Please see attached a few photos for your socials that really show off the dress. Our photographer’s name is Dawn Caroline Photography and her Instagram handle is @dawncarolinephotography.
The photo files are quite large so I’ll send across another email with a few more photos for you to choose from.
Best,
Sam
Hi Sharon,
I hope you’re well and having a break soon after what was very likely a VERY busy season. I know these are very delayed but I just wanted to pass on some photos from our day which showcase the dress you so carefully picked out for me and made so perfect for me. Even after my surgery I am still wanting to wear it everyday, it was not just beautiful but genuinely comfortable all day (I didn’t realise the bodice was actually keeping me upright by the end of the day, my back was in tatters!). I can’t wait for it to come back from the preservation people.
Thank you for making our wedding so wonderful in such a tough time for us, it means so much.
Lauren
Hi
Just wanted to say a huge Thank you for all your help and support throughout the process. You turned a negative experience into a positive one and I am eternally grateful for all you did. You found the dress of my dreams! Your amazing!

I’ve attached some pictures which we’ve had back from our photographers already, we hope you like them.
Kind Regards
Grace
Hi Sharon,
Hope you are well!
Just wanted to send an email to say thank you so so much for all of your help with my wedding dress. It was the most perfect dress and I am still being asked where it was from as everyone loved it, even the vicar asked where it was from! I honestly wish it was acceptable to wear your wedding dress all the time I love it so much!!
I’ve attached some pictures as I know you love to see them.
Thank you so much again, I’ll forever be singing your praises!

Christine xx
Hi Sharon,
Proper card to follow, but as promised here is a sample of the photos from the amazing wedding day Andy and I had. Everything, even the weather was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for more!
Lots of compliments from the groom, guests and even the photographer on the dress itself, so thankyou for your help and advice on it. Also lots of comments from the bridal party about how calm everything was in the run up to the main event – all of which I put down to the great team we had behind us (including yourself) that had given such good counsel and support, ensuring we stayed focussed on the big stuff and bridezilla stayed at bay.
V proud of my makeup in photo no 1 🙂 all courtesy of Hannah Martin tutorials and Bobby Brown – so thanks for that tip too!
All in all – a magical experience. I’d highly recommend getting hitched……. 😉

Dear Sharon and team,
I just wanted to send you a big thank you for everything you did from helping me find my wedding dress to tailoring it for me to being so careful with covid so that I could always come to my appointments safely. I absolutely loved the dress and felt so beautiful on the day! I have attached some photos to this email.
Your shop is beautiful as are the dresses and I would recommend your shop to anyone that wanted to find a classic stunning dress!
Thank you again,
Hannah X
Hi Sharon, hope you’re well? Just wanted to share our wedding day with you! We managed to get to the Dominican just fine, and it was an incredible holiday. Our wedding day was so incredibly emotional as it rained all day! We were due to be married at 4pm and it was still raining. I decided to wait an hour to see if it held off and it did! So, at 5.20pm we finally tied the knot and it was perfect! Thanks to the rain the beach was deserted! The day after another lady got married and people were being so rude, shouting, kids running round, someone even walked past her ceremony with a boombox! The universe really was on our side that day and I couldn’t of asked for a more perfect day.
I just wanted to thank you so much again for helping me find my dress, everyone loved it and my dad even said it was better than he even imagined (which set me off crying as you can imagine). But I would never have dreamt of a dress like my Millie but you helped me find my dream dress and I can’t thank you enough.
Here’s some photos from the day, you’re
more than welcome to use and share any of these 🙂
Samantha x
Hi Sharon
Here are a few photos of my daughter Bethan who eventually got married last September. We first visited your shop on September 12th 2020 and subsequently bought this wonderful dress. She absolutely loved it and I thought looked stunning on the day(but I would think that being Mum!!)
Thanks again for your help when she chose the dress and had it fitted. I will recommend ‘Brides of York’ to anyone getting married.
Kind regards
Gill Evans
Hi Sharon,
I hope you are good!
I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for everything with my dress. You made me feel so comfortable from day 1 and made the whole process really wonderful.
Joe and I had the best day on Saturday (I got so many compliments on my dress, I felt like a celebrity), the weather was great and the majority of the guests were able to come!
I’ve attached some photos from the day in case you’re interested 🙂
Thank you so much again (and I will be sending any brides I know your way in the future)
Ruth

All the best,

Thanks so much for all your help with finding my perfect wedding dress – we had the best day on Sunday, just want to do it all again!
That day only had a couple of hiccups, one person fainted in the ceremony as it was so hot! And then I spilt berry juice down my dress when we were eating – mum was the life saver – cold water and a hair dryer and it all came out! Below are a few photos, thank you once again!
Love,

Thank you so much for all your help with choosing my dress – I couldn’t have asked for anyone more friendly!
I had so many compliments on my dress and the Wedding organiser at the hotel said she had never seen one as pretty and detailed as what I was wearing.
I loved wearing it and I can’t wait to hopefully wear it again for an anniversary party where we can celebrate properly without Covid in the way!
Thank you so much

Sharon at Brides of York helped me find your beautiful Dinah dress – gorgeous design, excellent craftsmanship, and wonderful support from Sharon all the way through the challenges of 2020. It was a pleasure to get married in this perfect dress!’

Sorry it’s taken so long to write, I’ve been meaning to for weeks….
I just wanted to send you huge THANKS for all you help with my wedding dress. From the first visit to browse, right to the final fitting and collection, you and the team there were nothing but smiley, friendly and helpful. I felt so comfortable around you, and you were a real pleasure to deal with.
And the dress, oh the dress, I just felt nothing short of amazing in it. I have never felt as beautiful as I did wearing it – I’ve included a couple of pictures for you. I got lovely compliments, thank you so much for helping me find it, and for tweaking it so it was just right….secret sparkle!
Thanks once again, I won’t hesitate to recommend you.
Laura – the new Mrs Claringbold!
Hi Sharon and all the fabulous ladies at Brides of York.
Can I personally take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to you ALL for an amazing experience; buying my wedding dress from you. I absolutely loved all my dress fittings and looked forward each time to trying my dress on and being looked after by you.
We got married on Friday 24th June; in an outside ceremony and the dress was a huge hit!!! I cannot get over the comments and reaction. I felt like a million dollars in it and it was a perfect match to the theme of my wedding.
I’ve attached one or two pictures for you, I am more than happy to get the official ones over to you when they are ready as well.
Thank you so much once again for an amazing experience. I will certainly be recommending you to any future bride lucky enough to buy a dress from you.
With all my love and fondest wishes.

Hi Sharon,
I hope this email finds you well and you are having a good weekend. As promised, please find attached a few snaps of me in my amazing Evita dress! I absolutely loved wearing it and had so many amazing comments on it’s style and design on the day – I couldn’t have been happier!
As you can see on the photos, I took your advice and decided to keep my hair straight on the day – as with everything else, you were absolutely right! Thank you so much for all your advice and guidance in the run up to the wedding – you and the team truly made finding the perfect dress that best experience I could have asked for. I felt amazing on the day and it’s all down to you!
If you do you any photos online please could you credit our incredible photographers Stott & Atkinson? They have also done a little blog online if you were interested in seeing any other photos from the day – it was a lot of work setting up but totally worth it and so much fun!
Thanks so much again,
Michaela xxxxx
Dear Sharon & The Team
Thank you so much for all your help with choosing the perfect dress for my special day.
You knew exactly what style of dress that would suit my figure. I cannot explain in words how much i appreciate your help and advice and also the fact that you understood I needed to keep trying the dress on as a goal to lose my weight in tme for the wedding.
All i can say is that everyone at the wedding thought i looked stunning, but that aside I felt so amazing and so special, never felt that good at all in my life.
Thankyou to you all at Brides of York and would highly recomend you to future brides for the absolute first class service you provide.
See you all soon
Regards
Heather
Hello ladies
I thought I would send you a couple of photos of our wedding on 21st May at Malcesine in Italy. Everyone loved my dress and the day was wonderful. Thanks for your help and patience in getting my dress ready for the big occasion – I’ve sent you some photos of how it looked on the day. Still waiting for the official photos, but thank you again.
Best Wishes
Carol Kerr (aka Mrs Heatley)
Hi,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for helping me choose my gorgeous dress. I was really struggling to make any decision before I went to your Northallerton branch but as soon as my mum burst in to tears I knew it was ‘the one’. My bridesmaids also really loved their dresses and they looked so beautiful on the day.
A massive thank you to all the girls who helped us all with our fittings too. You all made everything nice and easy and stress free which was amazing.
I’ve attached a few photos to see how everything looked on the day. I have a few friends getting married over the next few years and will certainly be recommending they visit you.
Thanks again

Hi,
I bought a cymbeline wedding dress off you last year. I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help in choosing a dress to wear in New Zealand and England, it was perfect. My photographers have blogged both weddings i thought you might like to see them, I’ve included the links below. The English ones have mentioned you too.

Hi Sharon,
Just a quick note to thank you for all your help with my wedding dress. You’re help and that all of the ladies at the shop is so appreciated – I felt like a million dollars and received lots of compliments on the dress. It was fabulous J

Hi Sharon,
I would just like to say a huge thank you to yourself and the ladies in the shop for being absolutely fantastic. My dress was amazing andI had so many lovely compliments on the day! It fit perfectly and stayed put the whole duration! Apart from a few floor trailing stains at the bottom, the dress is still immaculate! Despite never being able to wear it again ( other than in my own time ;D ) I will never part with it!
Our day was fantastic and the sun was on us all day, surprisingly!
But, again. Thank you for all your help through out.
kind regards,
Amy Smith
Dear Charlotte
Thank you again for all your help with my gorgeous wedding dress! I felt fabulous and we had a wonderful day.
Very best wishes

Dear Sharon,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your help and support in getting me ready for the big day. I was really happy with the dress; I felt so comfortable in it – it just felt right.
And the best compliment was a French girlfriend who told me that she’d never seen a dress so perfectly suited to a Bride… as you know, that means A LOT coming from a French woman!
I’m attaching a few pics in case of interest. We haven’t yet had the professional photos through, but hopefully these at least give an idea of how everything looked.
Thanks too to Helen and the whole team at Brides of York – you were all amazing!
Hope to see you again at some point!
Georgina
Hi Sharon,

Thanks again for all your help.

Would like to say a huge huge thank you to Charlotte at the Bridal Lounge Northallerton. If it hadn’t been for her fantastic advice I would never have had the amazing wedding dress I did. Great service and so helpful with everything. Thanks Charlotte.
Hi Sharon thank you so much for my dress here’s a few pics of our day, everyone commented on how gorgeous my dress was I have recommended you to loads of people. Thank you again Niki and Chris
Hello,
I recently got married on The 12th April at Winder Hall in Cumbria. I just wanted to say thank you for all the help and advice you gave me whilst choosing my Dress. I chose a Cymbeline Fema dress. It was perfect! The dress reflected my personality and looked amazing next to the grooms tweed suit! The layers when hooked up for dancing looked lovely and enabled me to dance the night away.
Thank You for your professional and friendly advice, I was thrilled with my dress and didn’t want to take it off!
I have enclosed some photos, you are welcome to use them if you wish.
Kind Regards
Claire Bryant (nee Dixon!)
Dear Sharon,
Thank you very much for all your help. I got a lot of fantastic comments on the dress especially with the black on it. My mum said you wanted some pictures of the back of it so I have attached a few for you to have a look at.
Thanks again
Becca Hall
Hi Sharon and Helen,
At last a few photos from our wedding.
The day was truly magical and exceeded all our expectations. Everybody commented how beautiful my dress was and one of the nicest they had ever seen, I really felt special. The bridesmaid dresses turned out ok too- phew!!
Thankyou for doing such a great job. Your shop is the most professional I went into and you knowledge and expertise really shines through.
Thanks so much for helping to make our wedding so special.
Best wishes

Hi Charlotte!
I finally have access to some wedding pics!
It was such an amazing day. The dress flew in style to South Africa. It ended up having its own first class seat while we sat in economy!
Thanks for all your help in finding my perfect dress!

hi charlotte,
I know its been a while but here are the photographs as promised!!!! i would just like to say a really really big thank you to you as the dress was perfect and i felt truly beautiful in it, i kept it on till midnight even though i was sucking in my tummy holding in 4 course dinner and an evening buffet of bacon butties and chips, hoping that my organs would return to their original places once the dress was off…. but it was totally worth it. So i would like you to have a look through these photos noting the happy smiling bride and groom knowing that you had a huge part to play in making us both very happy on our wedding day!
Lots of love and all the best
Christina Mckinnel (nee Hamnett)

Hi Sharon,
I just wanted to send you a note to say thank you for all your help finding me the perfect dress. The day itself was absolutely amazing and we enjoyed every minute. I’m sending through a couple of photos for you to have a look at. We are looking forward to getting the professional ones soon.
Thank you again and best wishes

Hi all
As requested I am forwarding a few photos from Helen and Johnny’s wedding.
We all had a fantastic day from start to finish. The sun shone and the dress looked absolutely perfect. It really seemed to have been made for Helen. She never stopped smiling all day!
Thank you all so much for the time and care which you put in to help Helen to make her choice and to make the dress look so beautiful. We really did appreciate it. We also enjoyed every minute of all our appointments!
Thanks again,
Cathy Foster and Mrs Helen Ash.
Dear Sharon
Thank you so much for all of your help and advice with my wedding dress and accessories. You were so knowledgable (pointing out things that I would never have considered!) and the whole team at Brides of York were very accommodating. I loved wearing the dress; it was really comfortable and I felt like a million dollars!
Please also pass on my thanks to your colleagues.
With very best wishes,
Mrs S Tiplady
Hello,

Hi Sharon,
Wedding was perfect and everything ran smoothly.
Please pass my thanks to your sister who was incredibly helpful and a huge thanks to you all.

Hey it’s Anna,
I bought my dress from you and got married on July 12th. I have some photos of the dress I’d like to send you, they are absolutely amazing. What’s your email address please, I can’t find your card.
Thanks

Hi All!
As promised, I am sending some photo’s of me/dress and hubbie Mike for you all to see one of your brides in action but also for you to forward to Marguerite. I am sending photos through in separate emails because having problems sending, not sure if it is my end or your firewall, but hopefully one by one they will reach you!
Thank you so much to you all for everything, I couldn’t have been happier with the dress and accessories and you were all an absolute delight to deal with. We had the most wonderful and memorable day, it really was perfect. I felt like a proper princess.
Please also pass on my thanks to Marguerite. I absolutely loved my dress, I felt so special in it. I had so many compliments, my friends and family were just raving about how beautiful the dress was with many saying, quite genuinely, that it was the nicest or one of the nicest dresses they had seen. 2 of my friends want to get married again so they can borrow my dress! Most importantly, Mike thought it was perfect. He was pretty choked when he saw me appear at the bottom of the aisle in the church. And my Dad was also choked, very unusual for him!
I loved the fact that although it was a big dress I was so free to move around. I just loved ‘floating’ around in it and didn’t want to sit down. Infact, we had an amazing band play during our evening do and we spent a big chunk of the evening dancing, it was amazing!
Thanks again to you all for everything!
Love and best wishes
Zoe Thompson! xx
Hi Sharon

Thanks again for everything, we had a perfect day and my dress was absolutely gorgeous, I couldn’t have felt any more special.

Hello,
Just a quick email to say thank you so much for helping me choose my perfect dress. You made the whole process very stress free and enjoyable, which isn’t easy for me as I hate dress shopping!
I had so many lovely compliments from everyone on the day.
I have attached a photo of me and my gorgeous bridesmaids for you to see.
Thanks again,
Liz
Sharon,
You will be receiving a more formal thank you from myself and Craig very soon but I’ve been dying to contact you and take this opportunity to send you some pictures from our perfect wedding day.
From the very start when I visited The Bridal Lounge in Northallerton you were first class in every way. My whole experience from the initial selection of my chosen gown, fittings and collecting has been fabulous; all down to the professional, experienced and friendly approach you gave, even down to the little extra personal touches which made my bridal gown feel extra special. I have also enjoyed a good giggle with you along the way. I will never forget your help and support throughout, which culminated in me feeling absolutely relaxed and stunning in my bridal gown on my wedding day, particularly when I saw Craig’s gasp and exclamation of, ‘Wow!’, when I walked down the grand staircase at Carlton Towers.
Thank you so much and with kind regards from us both,
Zoe & Craig Innes

Dear Sharon,
I thought I’d send you some photos of our wedding day as promised. Thankyou so much for all of your help and also thankyou to all of your lovely staff too, all of the effort that you went to for me was very much appreciated.
Our wedding day went very well, the weather was a little drizzly but nonetheless mainly dry, but only a handful of photos were able to be taken outside. In truth, I wasn’t very pleased with our photographer, she’s a lovely lady, but a few of the photos are out of focus & there are some really poor quality photographs.
Thankyou once again, I think you’re all fabulous,
Helen Scrivener
Hello Sharon,
I hope you are well!
As promised I have attached a couple of photos for you of our big day.
Thanks again for your help with the dress!

Hi Charlotte
Thank you so much for all your help and advice on choosing the right dress for my wedding day. Everyone commented on how stunning the dress looked and I felt like a princess all day which made our day even more special.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone you are a great assest to the Bridal Lounge in Northallerton.
Best Wishes
Sarah Simpson (Robinson)
Hi Sharon,
I really can’t thank you and your lovely ladies enough. You helped me find my perfect dress and every visit to Brides of York felt so special. What a wonderful team, a wonderful range and a wonderful service you have there.
As promised, a few more pics of my dress “in action”! (The younger chap is my brother, who gave me away.). Are you able to pass these on to Marguerite? Or am I best to do that directly? She really is the most incredible artist.
Thank you all again,
Heather (Mrs Jones!)
Hi Charlotte and Sharon
So sorry it’s taken so long- I wanted to send you the professional pictures, which I only received last week, and then I totally forgot to send you the email until I saw Martin Kemp on Jonathan Ross last night 🙂
Attached are a few pictures of me and Al on the day of our wedding in Portmeirion, North Wales.
I just wanted to thank you so much for all your help – from choosing a dress for me which I wouldn’t even have dreamt of myself, to completing ALL those alterations, most notably with that pesky halter-neck!!!! Everything came together perfectly on the day, and it was totally down to your hard work in the lead up to our big day!! I really can’t thank you enough!!
Thanks again for everything

Hi Sharon

Thank you to the girls at Northallerton. I loved my dress so much and here is a picture for you. X
Charlotte & Sharon,
Thank you so much for ‘convincing’ me I could pull this dress off! I haven’t come across any pics with the front out yet as it was quite late & our photographer had left but if any guest have any I’ll forward on.
Hope you like the attached 🙂
Catherine & Martin
To Charlotte & Sharon,
I have finally gotten around to sending you a couple of photo’s from my Wedding Day (17th March 2012). My Sister hadn’t seen my dress prior to my wedding day but she loved it when she saw me in it for the first time. My Husband loved it too, as did other guests.
Thank you for all your help, time & effort.
Sarah O’Grady
I can’t thank Charlotte and Sharon at the Bridal Lounge in Northallerton enough. Will and I got engaged on Christmas Eve 2011 and only a week later set the date for our wedding – May 12th 2012! I went to the Bridal Lounge early January and instead of telling me how it would be nearly impossible to have a dress made in that time (as I had been told over the phone by a couple of other retailers) I was talked through which designers offered an expedited service and what options I had in terms of buying from stock and having the dress altered. Having had a firm idea of what kind of dress I had in mind I was (gently!) persuaded to try and few different styles and thank goodness I did because I fell in love with an Augusta Jones lace gown having been sure I didn’t want to wear lace. The service provided by the Bridal Lounge was seamless and I could not have been more pleased with my dress on the day – I felt amazing! Our photographer (Henry Aarvold) liked the dress so much that we agreed to do a post wedding shoot at a nearby location. You can see how great the dress looked both at the wedding and the post wedding shoot. Once again, many thanks,
Gill
