Real bride Charlotte in Harmonia by Dando London

With their adorable sausage dog Audrey mingling with guests, Charlotte and Ross’s wedding at Alrewas Hayes was a gorgeous celebration of love. Having met at school, Ross proposed in the middle of lockdown on a Norfolk beach at sunset. A perfect proposal for the lovely Charlotte, who reflected that the pandemic really made them realise what was important – each other. We love that they returned to the same beach for their honeymoon – with Audrey of course!

“As soon as I walked into Alice Rose Bridal, I was made to feel comfortable and was treated like a friend rather than a customer. I was made to feel like I had all the attention and time in the world and there was no pressure at any point of the journey. I felt my dignity was respected throughout and that the focus was on building my confidence and making me feel special. I was assured that not every bride finds their dress straight away, and I appreciated the time I was given to go away and decide which dress was for me. I bought my accessories and bridesmaids dresses at Alice Rose too as it suited me perfectly and everybody was made to feel so welcome. Everyone was easy to contact and I had the same experience from start to end – it didn’t change once I’d said yes to the dress!”

“I chose Harmonia partly because of her detachable train, which was perfect for an all-day wedding. Once the dancefloor called, I could simply detach the train and I had a button added to create a bustle too. Donna arranged for me to get a bespoke, sparkly train which meant that it felt different from every other dress. It looked AMAZING as it followed me down the aisle.”

“When it comes to choosing your dream dress, I would say go in with an open mind and try a range of styles. In terms of the day itself, it’s easier said than done but don’t sweat the small stuff – you won’t notice it when the day arrives – and take some time with your husband to take in the day as it really does go far too quick!”
