ENTOURAGE ETIQUETTE: A guide for the bridal crew!

Remember who's moment this is!

πŸ‘°β€β™‚οΈ. Focus is on the bride, supporting her vision - even if it's not your style.

πŸ‘—. When the bride chooses dresses to try, help her pick but refrain from pushing your favourite dress.

πŸ—£. Be positive, not pushy, give honest but kind feedback. If you don't like the dress, then be gentle and allow the bride to express her opinion first.

⏰️. Arrive on time and be ready to focus on the bride - not your phone, your drama, or what style bridesmaid dress you want.

πŸ’ͺ. Trying to find a wedding dress is a whole new level, and even brides with the strongest of personalities can become easily upset and overwhemed.

πŸŽ–. If you're honoured enough to have been invited to share this special moment, then of course, share your thoughts and advice if asked, but try to avoid dominating the conversation.

🍾. When she finds "the one" celebrate with her, be excited, cheer, or do a happy dance. You dont have to love her choice. You just have to love that she does ❀️

Before there was a bride or groom, there was a and a son. And before that, there was a mother who held their hands, dried their tears, and showed her love in all its forms.

The mother of the bride or groom hasn't just witnessed your journeys, she's been imagining your wedding day since the moment she first held you!

She's knows she's not the headline, but she's part of the story and should be encouraged to shine a little.

Book your mother of the bride or mother of the groom appointment with us today and have your "say yes to the dress" moment, too!

Although the corset dates back to the 16th century, the Victorian era cemented the corset as a key element in wedding dresses.

The corset gown still remains a classic choice for today's brides. Our stunning corseted gowns are designed to sculpt, support, and enhance your natural shape, giving you the perfect silhouette as you walk down the aisle.

Say "Yes" to the dress that makes you feel like royalty.

Pay us a visit and unveil your inner bride.

Unfortunately, plus-size and curvaceous brides have long been overlooked by the wedding industry, making some brides feel like they have to change to fit a certain mould rather than celebrating their natural beauty.

At The Glass Slipper, we believe that every bride is beautiful and deserves to feel just as radiant, celebrated, and as glamorous as anyone else.

We are excited to announce that we have just introduced a new range of gowns specifically designed for curvy brides, with fully-boned support ensuring comfort and confidence without compromising on style and available in sizes 16 -32.

Book your appointment today, and let's celebrate your curves.

When you buy a prom gown from us, we won't sell the same gown to another person attending the same prom.

We ask which school you attend when you book your appointment so we can remove any dresses already sold to your event from the shop before your appointment. We don't want you to fall in love with a gown you can't have!

Because of this, the earlier you come in to choose your gown, the more choice you will have. To book an appointment, please contact us on:

** Whoever said "SIZE DOESN'T MATTER" was absolutely right!**

Wedding gowns are notorious for being sized differently to regular clothing.

The reason for this is that many bridal brands still use outdated sizing charts from the 1950s or 1960s when body proportions were different. So a modern size 10 might need a 14 gown.

The number on the tag doesn't define how beautiful you look or feel in a dress. What truly matters is the fit, comfort, and confidence you have when wearing it.

Whether you're a size 8 or 28, the right dress is the one that makes you feel amazing.

A coloured wedding gown breaks tradition in the most elegant and personal way. They allow brides to express their unique personalities, cultural heritage, and personal style.

Soft pastels add a romantic touch, while bold colours make a striking statement, and a black dress embodies sophistication and modernity.

Coloured gowns can carry deep meanings - red for love, blue for tranquillity, and green for renewal.

Whatever the colour, it ensures a bride feels truly herself on her special day.

This simply stunning gown in crisp satin with off shoulder sleeves, clever gathers on the bodice to define your shape, and POCKETS is available in an amazing 47 COLOURS and from sizes 0 - 32.

This perfect princess gown mostly comprises simple, luxurious tulle - which elegantly draws attention to the exquisite embellishments.

Detailed embellishment at the waist, shoulders, and stunning keyhole back finishes this otherwise simple gown, creating a real feeling of glamour and femininity without detracting from the gorgeous simplicity.

Available in sizes 6 - 30, and the sample is in store to view.

Pay us a visit soon, we would love to see you.

Bridesmaids play such a special role in making a wedding day magical. From planning the Hen party to calming last-minute nerves, they're the ultimate support squad.

Their dresses set the tone for the wedding aesthetic and help tie everything together. They should complement the brides dress and match the overall theme. Scrimping on quality can lead to discomfort, poor fit, and lacklustre aesthetic.

High-quality fabrics, good tailoring, and styles that complement different body types can make all the difference.
