I booked an appointment at Brides Of Harrogate (my apologies to Confetti and Lace, whom, it seems, have a wonderful reputation) and we arrived at 1.50 for a 2 o'clock appointment. We were not as much as acknowledged, for at least half an hour. The shop was busy: this I completely accept. We were then told to pick some dresses and shown to a lovely little curtained area, in which we were to try them on. We had brought our own champagne and were kindly given glasses but we were not once asked... (read more)

I recently visited confetti and lace after finding a dress online that I wanted to try on. It was the first (and only) bridal shop that I visited so I was very nervous but Jane made me and my family feel at ease. I knew what I wanted but she made me wait I tried on plenty of other gowns but there was always something I didn't like about them then she let me try on the dress I had come for and it was perfect. Because Jane had made me try on others first I knew this was the dress and I knew I... (read more)

I've just collected my dress, bridesmaids and flower girl dresses from this amazing shop where nothing was too much trouble, there's plenty of helpful staff but I would especially like to say Thank You to Margaret and Jane. Put quite simply, you are stars! From the moment I came to see you last year to choose my dress you made me feel relaxed, not pressured and you made me laugh!

You're the best! Was really nervous about coming into your shop especially as I'd had some not nice experiences at some other wedding dress shops in Leeds but so glad I did. You're not pretencious or hard-sell instead more about making me and my family feel relaxed and making choosing 'the dress' a really happy, enjoyable experience. I was really upset with some other experiences and you put me right at ease, it was lovely that I got to meet other brides in store and you're nicely busy with... (read more)

Good old fashioned friendly, helpful service with great range of dresses and pretty good prices - how refreshing! The younger girl who helped me, Amber absolutely knew her stuff and could tell me about the materials on the dresses, how they could add sash's or straps and despite me being on the larger side, couldn't make me feel more at ease and what's more a lot of the dresses fit me or were too big! Couldn't get a leg in some of the other shops dresses (FYI we're not all size 8-12) so... (read more)

Fantastic choice and value for money at both their Confetti and Lace store in Harrogate and Brides of Harrogate (even though they have this branch in Harrogate it's not expensive as you may think - prices are the same and bridesmaids are around £150-£179!) - we went to the Leeds shop for my friends wedding dress and then went to Harrogate as we were really interested in Dessy dresses - OMG - there's about 200+ to choose from and they were the cheapest by far right on our doorstep.

Confetti and lace are amazing! Each individual member of staff made me feel like a princess on the run up to my wedding day. They couldnt have been more helpful! As I had recently visited a few bridal shops in Leeds that were rude and over priced, confetti and lace completely satisfied my needs and met my expectations of a bridal shop. I decided to go for a beautiful pronovias dress as well as all the accsessorises to match! Veil, tiara and Jewelry with lots of variety to choose from as well... (read more)

I have recently visited both of Confetti & Lace shops (Leeds & Harrogate) and need to tell you what a fantastic experience both me and my mum had. It started off with a nice and relaxed start from Jane the shop assistant dealing with me, and I was given markers to put in the dresses I wanted to try. Like a child in a sweet shop I marked up 10 dresses I wanted to try but after some sound advice from Jane I narrowed them down to 6. Mum was treated to bubbly whilst see sat and watched but...

What an amazing store in Harrogate. It has to be the largest store with the most choice in wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses I’ve seen. I had an appointment to try on some bridal gowns and was greeted by a friendly member of staff who advised me she would look after me today. It wasn’t very long before I was trying on dresses and after a while was offered a glass of buck’s fizz and my mum had a coffee. I tried eight dresses on and found the one I loved and decided to go ahead and... (read more)

Go here, you'll really enjoy it! I visited plenty of wedding dress shops in Leeds and further afield to find a lot of them judging you as soon as you walk in the door and this shop (every time I visit) is welcoming and they really know their stuff, which is good for me as I've never done this before and am not planning to do it again! They make you feel all excited about getting married and put you at ease. I would recommend them in a heartbeat! Best bits: They give you champagne in... (read more)

I have had THE best time at Confetti and Lace in Leeds - the ladies there couldn't have been nicer and myself and all my bridesmaids agree this is the best bridal shop in Leeds, if not Yorkshire. Talking from experience and having visited many of the other wedding dress shops in and around Leeds, I have chosen a fantastic Pronovias 'off white' dress. My bridesmaids are going to be in lime green Kelsey Rose dresses - all different styles but in the same fabric and colour as they have the... (read more)

When my daughter tried her wedding dress on, intially the salespeople were quite pleasant. They only had the dress in a size 16 and my daughter is a size 8 but they wrapped the dress around and said that they could fit it properly in the style she liked, short and fifties style. We ordered the dress several months prior to the wedding and after reading reviews decided to organise the first fitting of the dress in April (wedding in July). This was a dreadful experience, the dress hung... (read more)

This review is unfair and unhelpful. This ladies daughter bought a bridesmaid dress in ivory some months earlier and it arrived in perfect condition - the bride had fallen out of love with her simple 60's type dress - she looked stunning in it but she felt it was too plain (something which was obvious at the time of ordering it) and she paid only a couple of hundred pounds for. At fittings we tried all sorts of suggestions to try and help - we spent a long time making a new short underskirt and putting dress nets under, suggesting a bow at the back which the bride loved then didn't like the next day. It's not our fault that the bride obviously felt that she wanted a more traditional dress in the end and we maintain there was nothing wrong with the original dress, our commitment to our brides or our service. This brides mother wanted us to restyle the dress - which we offered - but it would have been an additional cost which we believe is fair and we tried to help at each stage - the comments are extremely unfair and the staff involved have been upset as they take the happiness of their customers to be paramount. Please ignore this vindictive, spiteful brides mother and come and see for yourself what we do. A Lewis-Smith, very proud owner, Confetti and Lace.

We visited Harrogate to look for a bride and bridesmaids' dresses. We were hoping to be made a bit of a fuss of - searching for the special dress for the biggest day of your life should be a special, fun, memorable and exciting experience. Unfortunately, we obviously didn't measure up in the eyes of the saleswoman who was brusque, rude and downright dimissive of us...needless to say, we will look elsewhere (read more)

The best piece of advice I can give is to ensure you say that your wedding day is at least two weeks before your actual date. Even though I had ordered my dress and bridesmaid dresses 6 months before my wedding all of the fittings had to be squeezed into the last two weeks and felt very rushed and stressful considering it was their busiest time of the year. My wedding dress hadn't been hemmed properly (only discovered on the morning of the wedding - hence last minute sowing). The bridesmaid... (read more)

Quite how Confetti & Lace (Leeds) has won customer service awards I shall never know. I visited the shop twice - once to look for a wedding dress for me and once with my bridesmaids to look for dresses for them.
First visit:
First of all the changing rooms are TINY and very dark and dingy. It was a real squeeze in there with me, the assitant and a dress (and I wasn't trying on anything big either!)
Secondly, my mum and Chief BM were offered a drink (champagne or tea) yet I was offered...

Confetti_Abbi's Response to ARSki's Review
Written on: 09/05/2013
We are SO sorry you had this experience with our Harrogate branch - I have investigated and on the busy Saturday you came in we did have one of our consultants call in sick in the morning so her 6 appointments were taken on by the other staff as it was too late to cancel them. This should have been explained to you at the time and once again our apologies for a 'exceptional and out of the ordinary' day. We hope you have found your bridesmaids dresses and would love it if you could give us a 2nd chance with anything such as accessories, menswear etc and if you need any alterations carried out on any gowns, we'd be more than happy to help in any of our branches. Thank you for this feedback too, it has been used to highlight the importance we place on consistent high level customer service with all our staff members and we wish you a very happy and successfull marriage. Abbi Lewis, Confetti and Lace Group
