Planning Your Visit

For our tips on what to wear, who to bring, or where to park in Chester, head over to our FAQs.

To ensure you have an amazing experience, we operate exclusively by appointment and can comfortably accommodate the bride plus a maximum of four guests. 

 

Our diary is open for appointments on weekdays (except Tuesdays) from 10:00 to 18:00, and from 09:00 to 17:00 on the weekends. 

 

If you prefer to chat with a stylist directly, we are a phone call or WhatsApp away on 01244310700.

 

Securing Your Appointment 

Initial bridal consultations are secured with a £20 booking fee. This reserves your private suite and the dedicated expertise of our team. This fee is refundable with at least 48 hours' notice.

 

Comfort and Accessibility

Our historic boutique is a beautiful three-story building on the Chester Rows. This means our suites are accessed by winding stairs and we do not have a lift.

 If you or your guests have mobility limitations, please let us know before you book.  We may be able to host your magic moment in our nearby sister store (The One Bridal Outlet), which offers level-access to ensure your visit is as effortless as possible for everyone.
