Shopping for your wedding dress is one of the most exciting parts of your bridal journey, but it can also come with a few unexpected surprises. One of the biggest? Bridal sizing. If you’ve ever wondered why the size on a wedding dress label doesn’t always match the size you wear on the high street, you’re not alone. In Season 4, Episode 3 of our Wedding Belles Love Unveiled podcast , we’re unpacking everything you need to know about bridal sizing and why it’s nothing to stress over. Why is bridal sizing different? Bridal gowns are designed using a completely different size chart to everyday fashion. Many designers follow traditional, sometimes old-fashioned measurements that can run smaller than the clothes you normally buy. That means you might wear a size 12 on the high street but find yourself in a size 16 or 18 in a wedding dress. It can feel a little strange at first, but the truth is this: the number on the label has absolutely nothing to do with your beauty, your worth, or how incredible you’ll look walking down the aisle. Our message to every bride At Wedding Belles Love, we remind every bride that the size on the tag doesn’t define you. What matters is how you feel  in the dress. Does it make you light up? Do you feel confident, comfortable, and ready to say yes to forever? That’s the only thing that truly matters. Our top tips for bridal sizing confidence Focus on fit, not numbers  — it’s about tailoring the gown to you, not fitting you into a label. Trust your stylist  — we’re here to guide you through the process and recommend what works best for your shape and vision. Keep an open mind  — sometimes the dress that makes your heart skip a beat isn’t the size, style, or fabric you expected.

Tell us about your wedding day. We got married at The Gasworks , and from the moment we saw it we knew it was the one. It had everything we wanted and felt like the perfect setting for our day. I wore a Stella York A line wedding dress called Bella, which felt timeless, elegant, and effortless to wear. The flowers by Sass Weddings  added the most beautiful finishing touches, and every special moment was captured so perfectly by Molly Georgia Weddings . The whole day was filled with love, emotion, and memories we will treasure forever. Which wedding dress did you get married in? I got married in Bella by Stella York, style 7755. I fell in love with how elegant and romantic it felt the moment I tried it on. The dress has a beautifully structured silhouette that hugged in all the right places while still feeling comfortable and effortless to wear all day. It felt timeless, feminine, and completely me, the perfect dress for such a special moment. How did you feel during your bridal journey with us? Looking Back: I Said Yes to the Dress 💍👰‍♀ Now that I’m officially a Mrs -  MRS ROE!!🥹🥹💍 I’ve been reflecting on all the beautiful moments that made up my wedding journey and one that still holds such a special place in my heart is the day I said yes to the dress. It was truly one of the most emotional, exciting, and joy-filled parts of the entire experience. Walking into Wedding Belles Love for the first time, I was incredibly nervous. It was my very first time trying on wedding dresses, and being quite self-conscious about my body, I really didn’t know what to expect. But Claire and Darci made me, my mum, and my auntie feel instantly welcomed and supported. They were warm, kind, and so patient and never pushy, and always full of genuine advice and care. They seemed to know exactly what would suit me and, more importantly, what I was looking for, even when I wasn’t entirely sure myself. Thanks to them, what could’ve been a nerve-wracking experience turned into one of the most empowering and joyful moments. Sharing that day with my mum and auntie, and guided so thoughtfully by Claire and Darci, is something I’ll always treasure. To Claire & Darci, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You each played such an important role in one of the happiest times of my life. I’ll never forget the warmth, care, and support you gave me throughout the whole journey. Forever grateful. ❤

Hey there, Lovely Brides-to-Be, So, you're standing at the crossroads, choosing between two utterly dreamy wedding dresses – a beautiful dilemma, right? Let's have a cozy chat about how to make that heartwarming decision and ensure you say "I do" in the dress that feels like a match made in bridal heaven. 1. Trust Your Heart's First Flutter:  Close your eyes and rewind to that magical moment when you first laid eyes on each dress. Which one made your heart skip a beat? Trust that initial flutter; it often knows the way to your dream dress. 2. Picture Your Perfect Day:  Imagine your wedding day unfolding. Picture yourself walking down the aisle, twirling on the dance floor, and striking those pose-worthy photos. Envision how each dress contributes to the magic. The one that paints the most beautiful picture is a strong contender. 3. Embrace Comfort like an Old Friend:  Comfort is your BFF on your big day. Consider how each dress feels – not just physically but emotionally too. The one that wraps you in comfort, both inside and out, is a sure winner. 4. Peek into Your Bridal Future:  Fast forward to your future self reminiscing about your wedding day. Which dress do you see yourself lovingly admiring in photos years from now? The one that stands the test of time in your imagination might be your forever dress. 5. Seek the Wisdom of Trusted Companions:  Your entourage – those wonderful friends and family members – bring their unique insights. Share your feelings with them, and listen to what your trusted companions have to say. Their perspectives might offer a fresh and valuable take. 6. Feel the Vibes of the Dress:  Each dress has its own vibe, its own energy. Pay attention to how each one makes you feel. Is it a vibe that aligns with your vision? The dress that resonates with your desired energy is a front-runner. 7. Sleep On It (Literally):  Sometimes, a good night's sleep is like hitting the reset button. Give yourself the gift of a fresh perspective by sleeping on your decision. You might wake up with newfound clarity on which dress has captured your heart. 8. Consider the Practical Magic:  Think about the practical side of things. Does one dress align better with your venue, theme, or season? Considering the practical magic helps you choose a dress that seamlessly fits into your wedding day story. 9. Connect with Your Partner's Vision:  Your partner's style matters too. Consider their preferences and envision how each dress complements the overall aesthetic you both dream of. The dress that harmonizes with your partner's vision is a beautiful choice. 10. Trust the Dress-Choosing Journey:  Lastly, trust the journey. You're not just choosing a dress; you're choosing a piece of your love story. Embrace the process, and know that the dress you ultimately choose will be the perfect one for your extraordinary day. There you have it, lovely brides! Trust your heart, feel the vibes, and enjoy every moment of this beautiful decision-making journey. May you find the dress that makes your heart sing and your wedding dreams come true.

Real bride review stella york 8042 When Hollie first tried on Evelina by Stella York 8042 , we knew ! There was that pause. That little gasp. That “ohhh wow” moment that happens when a bride finds a gown that just gets  her. Crafted by award-winning designer Stella York, 8042 Evelina is already a star in our boutique but hearing it straight from one of our real brides? That’s the magic. Here’s what Hollie had to say: “I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did. I thought it might be too much for me… but the second I stepped in, I felt like a bride. Not just pretty powerful. Feminine. Like myself, but better.” So, what made Evelina the one  for Hollie? ✨ The Fit: “The shape was insane. It hugged me in the right places but didn’t feel tight or restrictive. I’ve got curves, and this dress didn’t hide them it celebrated them.” ✨ The Detail: “There’s this mix of modern sparkle and romantic lace that just works. It felt elegant but not fussy, and the detail looked even better in person.” ✨ The Bodice: “I was worried about support (I’m bigger busted), but I didn’t have to stress. The structure in the bodice is amazing I felt totally secure, and it gave me the best shape. Like, actual  hourglass vibes.” ✨ The Train: “THE TRAIN. It was the drama I didn’t know I needed long enough to feel special but still so easy to move in.” ✨ The Feeling: “That was it for me. I stood in the mirror and felt like I was exactly where I was meant to be. I could picture walking down the aisle. And honestly? I didn’t want to take it off.” Evelina isn’t just a dress it’s a moment. To Hollie thank you for sharing your honest thoughts, for choosing this gown with your whole heart, and for looking like an absolute dream in every single photo. You were everything  in Stella York 8042 Evelina, and more. #WeddingBellesLove #RealBrideReview #EvelinaByStellaYork #StellaYorkBride #BridalGlowUp #SayYesToTheDress #2025Bride #StaffordshireBride #WeddingDressMagic #CurvyBridesWelcome

A Real Bride’s Journey! Every now and then, a bride walks through our doors and brings a little spark with her, not just in her smile, but in the people who walk alongside her. For Lucy, that spark came in the form of two incredible women: her mum, Bev, and her sister, Kate. And together? They became a part of our Wedding Belles Love story in the most beautiful way. When Lucy came to us, she was looking for the  dress something elegant, flattering, and true to her. “I’d been to other places,” she said, “but I never had that feeling. My mum and sister said, this is your moment let’s find the one that makes you feel like you. ” From the minute Lucy stepped into her Stella York gown, it was magic. “The shape, the detail, the way it made me feel it was perfect,” she told us. “Bev cried, Kate gasped, and I just knew.” It was that once-in-a-lifetime moment we always hope for, and we were so honoured to witness it. But the best part? Lucy’s story didn’t end with a ‘yes.’ Her mum Bev became one of our most loved humans — full of warmth, wisdom, and mum-level support. She entered one of our competitions and won an Afternoon Tea Experience , and since then, she’s proudly taken on the role of Shop Mum. Whether she’s popping in for fittings, chatting with other mums, or joining us for photoshoots and podcast episodes, Bev brings pure heart to everything she does. And then there’s Kate! Lucy’s sister, hype woman, and all-round superstar. She was right there through it all, offering the perfect mix of encouragement, honesty, and sparkle. Kate’s now part of our extended Belles family too, coming back for photoshoots and always showing up with the same joy she brought to Lucy’s big moment.

In this heartwarming episode, we sit down with our gorgeous bride Lucy as she shares all the behind-the-scenes moments from her bridal dress journey — and the special role her family played in it.
