Lara Belle Bridal Boutique

I can honestly say that my experience with Faye at Lara Belle has been amazing. She is so friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere in the boutique was really relaxing. It made dress shopping such an enjoyable experience and there were so many beautiful dresses to choose from. I would absolutely recommend her to any brides and bridesmaids looking for their special dress.

I had the most amazing experience at Lara Belle Bridal and highly recommend! The boutique has a great selection of beautiful gowns to try in a lovely setting and Faye instantly put me at ease. My whole experience was truly magical and I really appreciate everything Faye did to understand what I was looking for and help me find my dream dress. I cannot thank Faye enough and I’m soo pleased I said ‘yes to the dress’ at Lara Belle ????

My first ever bridal appointment was at Faye’s gorgeous shop and it was the only one I needed to find my dream dress! Her collection of gowns is absolutely stunning; if only I had more occasions where I needed to wear a wedding dress! As I hadn’t been to an appointment before I emailed her before booking to ask about timings with her new collections and she was really quick to respond and so friendly and helpful telling me when the new dresses would be in and the best weekend to book for; Ronald Joyce is one of my favourite designers and she had a trunk show for his dresses coming up which she booked me in for (which simply meant even more of his dresses would be in store than usual that weekend, in addition to her current collections of his and her other designers). All I needed on the day was myself; she even has a pair of satin heels in different sizes to try on with the dresses! Faye was so welcoming and reassuring as walking into a shop full of dresses can be a bit overwhelming, but she got to know me and the wedding I envisage and then helped me to pick out about six dresses; a mixture of some that just jumped out at me, some that she could tell from my body language I loved but was a bit nervous to say, and one that was completely different as a wild card! She has a separate changing room off the main part of the boutique (there are also facilities!) where she helps you put the dresses on, and a sarong so that you can cover up if you’re nervous about being in just underwear, but she couldn’t have made me feel more comfortable. I completely forgot how bare I was as it was just a fabulous and exciting experience! She could tell as soon as I looked in the mirror whether the dress was for me or not, and helped me to work out which bits I did and didn’t like. She had veils to try with the dresses too and made sure the train was arranged properly, and a bouquet of flowers to see how it would all look. Dress number three was the dream, and I felt like such a princess. Faye was almost as excited as I was which was so lovely to see; she really loves what she does and wants to help us all find our dream! There was another one that I really liked but when I tried it back on after number three, it helped me to realise that no number three really was the one! I tried on a couple more so that I was certain, and I was! Although Faye would have been more than happy for me to have a second appointment of dresses I’d narrowed it down to, I didn’t need one, as there was a clear winner for me! I wouldn’t have even tried it on if it weren’t for the confidence she instilled in me, so I am so grateful to Faye as she has in part made my wedding day by helping me find my perfect dress that I will feel confident walking down the aisle in! She also has a ton of experience in planning weddings and she’s happy to offer her expertise so I know if there’s something that I get really stuck with I can give her a quick call or message and she’ll be more than happy to help! Thank you so much Faye xx (P.S. We went for afternoon tea in the attached hotel afterwards which was really lovely and made the occasion even more special!)

visited Lara Belle Bridal yesterday, it was my first day of dress shopping and my second shop and I can honestly say had the best experience. Faye made me feel so comfortable, like we were friends helping me find a dress rather than being a pushy sales person! She was super accommodating helping me in any way she possibly could, I couldn’t recommend Faye and her lovely bridal shop enough! ❤️

From the minute my daughter and I met Faye at the WestPoint Wedding Fayre I knew we would be looked after and have her guidance and her expertise when looking for that ‘perfect dress’ my daughter had the dress in mind but was unable to find it locally. Faye tried to get a sample but wasn’t successful as the collection hadn’t been released yet. On our first visit to Lara Belle Faye let us explore her collection and listened to my daughters thoughts of what she wanted in her dress. Bearing in mind what she wanted originally. There was no pressure to buy or even choose one from her collection. It was finally narrowed down to 2. Arrangements were made to revisit with my mother to get her honest opinion. We were all looked after, again no pressure, she gave objective advice and we felt listened to throughout. With her choice made Faye had an added touch of bubbly for us to celebrate and a gift and bottle of bubbly for my daughter to take home to share with her partner. A lovely touch. Communication was excellent throughout. We picked up the dress and even though the journey was at its end she made us feel welcome and special. We had been to other wedding dress boutiques and not had this experience. I cannot wait to send her the photos from the day. Thank you Faye for your time and patience and making this event even more special.
