What Our Customers Say

From start to finish the team at Serena Bridal were fantastic. The experience throughout was nothing short of perfect, with every part of my experience making me feel so special. By the time my wedding came round I was quite sad to say goodbye. The team genuinely care about their brides and their experiences in the lead up to their weddings and I am so grateful for them for my experience. Thank You so much ladies!

Francesca

I had a great experience at Serena Bridal in May 2023. The team was welcoming, patient, and made the process stress-free. I found my dream dress, purchased accessories, and used their seamstress—all conveniently in one place at a good price. They kept me updated, accommodated a last-minute alteration, and ensured my dress was ready on time. I felt like a princess on my big day and highly recommend them.

Katie

Finding my dream wedding dress at Serena Bridal was amazing! They made me feel relaxed and it was super fun and emotional being able to say yes to my dress

Mary

Back in 2014, when dresses with feature backs were a little harder to come by, I instantly fell in love with my Ronald Joyce dress at Serena Bridal - I’d been to a few shops previously but nothing came close. I picked 5 or 6 dresses when I arrived, trying on my favourite first - the others stayed on the hanger and I knew this dress was ‘the one’. Thank you Serena Bridal!

Caron

Thank you for all your help, I can’t recommend your shop enough. The customer service was amazing

Kerry

You made my wedding dress perfect for me, you were patient whilst I was nervous about trying on dresses for the first time. I lost my mother in law as few weeks before the wedding but you helped me make sure she was part of the dress shopping process. I'm forever grateful. Thank you so much.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but we see so many brides and guests on social media freaking out about having white or ivory in their outfit!

Our view, which seems to be shared by the Spice Girls is that it doesn’t matter. No guest will ever upstage a bride 💕
