Bride Be Lovely, Manchester

Hi there I tried a dress on in bride be lovely but shut before I got the chance to go back was just wondering if any one new what dresses they stocked coz can't remember the name of the dress I tried on and can't find another I like any where.

I was upset to hear that Bride be Lovely were going into adminstration as I had fell in love with my dress and like a lot of brides to be I thought the worse!

I rung the shop every other day just checking if it had arrived and the girls were really lovely and understood my panic. I picked my dress up on Saturday!!!! :)

Big thank you to the girls in the shop who have smiled though a terrible situation.

I wish them all the best and thank you

My daughter and I went to Bride be lovely in september 2011 and paid half for her weding dress ,veil and Tiara and like everyone else found out that they had gone into administration /liquidation. We were so upset but all the time were told that the dress would be coming and told it would be due end of feb beginning of march. I telephoned the administrators /liquidators regularly and decided to wait and hope the dress would come as we had been told.Well true to their word it was sent third week in feb and we got a phone call on fri 9th march to say it was in the shop. Been today and tried it on and brought it home and both are so happy its beautiful.

Just have to say the staff and administrators have been so good and I am pleased we gave them the chance to fulfil the order.So thank you especially Jemma who worked for the administrators and kept me sane and replied to every call and enquiry I made.A success from a disaster. ****************

I bought my dress from bride be lovely last April 2011 for my wedding of April this year 2012. I thought the woman that helped me choose wasn't the greatest help but she was still very nice. I went for my fitting in October with my final payment and everything was just so perfect and I was told my dress should be in store in Feb/march. Then about 3 weeks ago I recieved a letter telling me they had gone into administration and my heart just sank I panicked thinking I wasn't going to get my dress. So at the weekend me and my mum went into the shop to find out what was going on and whilst we were waiting I was looking for my dress but couldn't find it so was even more worried at this point. The assistant then came to us and explained as long as I was paid up and had my fittings I would still be getting my dress wich is due in any day now. She was also saying that the administrators are being very good and helpful wig them. I then asked about any adjustments I will want or extras and she gave me the personal numbers to the seamstress and said they would be happy to do anything I need. I am gutted about them going into administration, it is a great shop and for brides on a budget like me you could still have that amazing dress and a good price. I would also like to say even though this is a big problem for many people and it means possibly going for a new dress and losing some money just think about the staff loosing there jobs and in this climate its not gonna be easy to find a new job but people can find a new dress. I was told that the manager had been there 30 years that's gotta be hard to be told you have lost your job. I've finished waffling now I just hope what I've been told does actually happen and I get my dress, yea its not good and its added stress to the wedding but there are worse things happening in this world.

I had to plan my wedding in a rush and I was lucky to find what I wanted in the size I needed on the shop.

The shop is nice but the owner needs to improve her customer-service skills: she kept changing her rules as we were speaking (when we entereted the shop, a deposit was enogh to secure the dress and before leaving I had to pay the full amount otherwise she woulnd't put aside for me; same thing about some accessorizes which I bought there). We were never offered any coffees or teas (only the last day we went to pick up the dress), plus, the tailor is very expensive: I was charged £180 for minor adjustments to the dress. I never saw a list of prices for the tailor and I was not told how much it would cost. What it is frustrating is that if you try to speak with the owner and try to sort it out things, she becomes very aggressive: she has nice stuff but too pricey (the gown cover was £15 pounds and in amazon is only £6 and better quality) and I would not reccomend the shop to a friend.

I went to Bride be lovely and bought a package which included my dress, veil, tiara and 2 bridesmaids dresses. I also bough an additional 2 bridesmaid dresses and an underskirt, this was all paid for in December. Since I have found out that their now in administration. I have received a letter saying they will honour those dresses that have been ordered before 31st January, I'm a bit reluctant that this will happen though. I now have to go back to the shop before the doors close to pick my tiara up and choose a different veil as they no longer have mine in store and will not be getting any more, so now im left to choose from their leftovers. Im unsure on who will be contacting me when or IF my dresses are ever made and where I will have to pick them up from. Organising a wedding is stressful enough without the extra worry on whether I'v been ripped off or not. Even a refund is not possible so I have no choice but to endure this nightmare and hope for the best.

Thanks for ruining my WEDDING DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Today on this site i found out that Bride Be Lovely had gone into Administration. I telephoned the shop and was told they would guarantee the dresses to be delivered in February and was given a number to ring. I telephoned the number and was told that we should still receive the dresses in February and that official letters had been posted out. I think it's a real shame, the staff at Bride Be Lovely have been more than helpful to my daughter. I just hope we get the dresses and don't have to start the whole process again.

I have bought my dress from here in november 2010 for my wedding in june 2012 . Due to wanting to lose weight i did not want to be sized then went for my sizing in dec 2011. I contact the shop as paymrnt for the rest was due and advised they have gone into administion but beacuse i had been sized and order placed i would still recvive my dress i am still worried that i wont get it. My dress is due march or april so if it doest i will only have 2 to 3 months to find another as anyone else been advised this or have you just been told you will not be recieving your dresses.

IN OCTOBER 2011 ME AND MY MUM WENT TO BRIDES BE LOVELY IN MANCHESTER AND AS ANY BRIDE TO BE IS I WAS EXCITED AT LOOKING AT THE WEDDING DRESSES. I DIDN'T EXPECT TO FIND A WEDDING DRESS ON OUR FIRST WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING EXPERIENCE BUT I DID. THE DRESS WAS NEARLY £1000 AND DUE TO DRESS STYLES CHANGING EVERY FEW MONTHS U DIDN'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON GETTING MY PERFECT DRESS. SO MY MUM PAID THE DEPOSIT WHICH WAS HALF THE AMOUNT.WE HAVE LOST DEPOSIT AS BRIDES BE LOVELY ARE GOING BUST.
