“Serena Bridal were fantastic from start to finish. They were very accomodating with appoinment times and I felt no pressure to order straight away. The range of dresses was great as I had had trouble finding a simple classic dress in the high street shops. Michelle was more than happy to customise the dress with extra details and even provided matching veil and accessories. It was a five star service for an excellent price and I have already recommended them to friends. "

Sarah Rennie (nee Morris)

“I can't thank you enough for all of your time and expertise. As soon as I saw the dress I knew I had to have it and was overwhelmed to discover that the name of my dream dress was the same as my Great-Grandmother! It must have been fate. Every girl wants to feel a million dollars on their wedding day and wearing Amelia certainly did that for me. I cannot recommend you enough to any future bride! Thank you. "

“I do not hesitate in recommending Serena Bridal. I fell in love with the dress about 6 months before my big day and they moved heaven and earth to fit it and create it on time, in budget and just for me. Even when I had a last minute fitting panic they were there to settle my nerves and amend my dress. The dress was such a big part of my day that I'm glad it was 100% right. That's what you get when you buy a dress from Serena Bridal. Thanks again.”

Laura Whittaker (nee Davis)

I had visited many bridal shops,even travelling all the way to Norfolk for one, but none of them compared to Serena Bridal. The service and attention to detail I received from Michelle was second to none. There was no pressure and I felt 100% comfortable in her company. I found the dress of my dreams within 10 minutes of walking through the door! It made me feel a million dollars and completely blew my husband away when he saw me walking down the aisle in it! I have and would recommend Serena Bridal to anyone who is looking for the best bridal shop in Essex!

I met Michelle 10 weeks after my son was born following a c section not having the confidence in myself, wedding dress shopping was my worst fear. Michelle did not make me feel out of place or make me feel like a hippo, she reasured me everystep of the way. From the moment I met Michelle I felt relaxed and comfortable and it was not hard to find my dream dress. Michelle you took my nightmare and turned it into a dream, no matter what I write or say people are never going to understand how much you made my wedding, or how highly I think of you, from the bottom of my heart I thank you

Shelley Maskell  (nee Graham)
Just a quick note to thank you for your very friendly and professional service when I was looking for my wedding dress. You were very welcoming and made me feel at ease which helped me to choose the most STUNNING wedding dress I’ve ever seen. You were the first bridal shop I went to and from the first time I met you and saw your gorgeous dresses I knew that I would find “the perfect dress.”
On my wedding day I can truly say that I felt like a princess as I walked down the aisle, everyone complimented me on the dress and how flattering it was and my husband actually said that the dress was absolutely amazing. Thanks again for your help and support leading up to our big day

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for my gorgeous dress for our wedding on Friday. It was certainly a talking point and received many compliments but more importantly it was exactly what I wanted and I certainly did feel like a princess on the day
