Amore, Rhiwbina, Cardiff

I went to Amore' for my mums outfit. They had a lovely big range, lots of shapes and styles to choose from at VERY good prices. Hats and fascinators in every colour you cold imagine.

Staff were very helpful and polite. Only too happy to spend time with mum to make sure she was happy and looking fab.

parking in the village was easy, a lot more pleasant than traipsing around town.

I am not good at being 'mother of the bride' and have found it difficult as a middle aged woman to focus on myself as far as finding an outfit for my daughter's wedding. I did the London thing without success. It was a joy to visit a private, friendly and knowledgeable establishment with a huge range.

Thank you for your patience and advice and for the amazing range of hats - that's my favourite bit.

Went today and found the assistant lovely. Bought a tiara but no room to try dresses. Went back 15 mins late to be told it was going to close if 15 mins. Tried a dress was put off by the owner immediately stating it wouldnt fit and basically to hurry up. Attitude was snobby like the last comment and very rude. Told her I couldnt be bothered and my daughter left the shop. The owner thought I had left and went on to discuss me with another customer. Very unprofessional and I'm very sorry I walked in there!

Although this shop had some lovely dresses, it was better for mother of the bride that the bride herself.

This is assuming you can put up with the extremely snobby staff,even with a £2000 budget! very unhelpful, wouldn't even write down the names of the gowns we liked. Shame, because as I've said, she had some lovely dresses.
