Bride Testimonials
Wedding Belles Love experience - from the start of my journey, right up until the very end, I felt so extremely welcome and supported by the staff at Wedding Belles Love. At no point did I feel pressured towards purchasing anything (from the added extras to the dress itself). They were extremely friendly and very helpful throughout! My dress, veil, jewellery and all the added extras I purchased were all absolutely perfect!! Would recommend to anybody & everybody looking to buy their dream dress. - Rebecca
You made me feel comfortable and happy from the moment I walked in on my first appointment to now when you’re still being involved in my journey into married life. You’ve been much more than a dress-sales shop, you’ve sold us an experience and given us friendship too which myself, mum and sister are all so grateful for - Lucy
Claire and Darci have truly made my whole wedding journey better than I’d ever have imagined! With all the excitement of planning a wedding I decided I wanted to go dress shopping two years before my wedding date, with no intention of finding my dream dress. or even knowing what my dream dress would look like! I found WBL through instagram and instantly knew this was the place I wanted to start my dress shopping experience, and aren’t I glad I did! From the moment I stepped into the shop I felt like I knew Claire and Darci, they were so lovely and the shop had this beautiful welcoming feel! - Leanne

Our Story:
Wedding Belles Love: Born from a Moment That Changed Everything
When I first stepped into my newly purchased bridal boutique, I was filled with excitement. The rails were lined with stunning white gowns, each one a promise of a bride’s dream day. But as I reached for a dress, my excitement turned to heartbreak. Not a single gown fit me. Not one. In that moment, I felt invisible, like I didn’t belong in the very space I was meant to call my own.
That moment didn’t just sting, it lit a fire in me. No bride should ever feel the way I did. Every woman deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and stunning on one of the most important days of her life. That experience became my mission: to create a bridal boutique where every bride, no matter her size, shape, or story, feels like the most beautiful version of herself.
Together with my daughter Darci, we reimagined what a bridal experience could be. We filled our rails with gowns that cater to every body type, from UK sizes 0 to 36, each designed with real support and structure. We created calm, joyful spaces where brides could feel safe, confident, and celebrated. And we made a promise to feature real brides in our photos because the beauty we see every day deserves to be reflected back to the world.
Since that emotional beginning, Wedding Belles Love has grown into something far greater than a boutique. We’ve helped hundreds of brides find their “yes” moment, each one a story of confidence rediscovered and dreams realized. But we didn’t stop there. For every dress sold, we plant a tree with Ecologi, because love should leave a legacy. And we’re proud to support Staffordshire’s care-leavers young people, offering them real world skills and brighter futures through work experience in our boutique.
What started as a moment of heartbreak has grown into a purpose driven business built on love, inclusivity, and empowerment. At Wedding Belles Love, we don’t just sell dresses, we create moments, build confidence, and celebrate every bride’s unique story. Because every bride deserves to feel like the most beautiful version of herself. And that’s a promise we’ll never stop keeping.
We’re more than a boutique – we’re a body-positive, soul-soothing, magic-making experience
