This was the second bridal shop I visited and I could not recommend it more. Not only are the dresses there completely divine the staff are so friendly and helpful and made me feel so relaxed and special. The shop is decorated beautifully and I love the layout of the fitting room as my family and friends could be comfy whilst I had loads of space to try on. The space is also beautiful for allowing you all to get the full effect of the dress you have on. Joanna was amazing as she was honest and helped choose me dresses to suit my size and shape. My dress is stunning and I didn't want to take it off! Also they have a beautiful range of accessories to finish the look. Lastly I loved that they have a range of sizes for each dress they stock as trying on a dress in your actual size or very close to it makes all the difference. Trying on dresses in other shops that are 3 or 4 sizes too small does nothing for a brides confidence but Cutting Edge Bridal is the perfect antidote! I couldn't recommend them enough! Roll on 2016 for my next fitting!!

My husband and I are approaching our first wedding anniversary. I was looking through some photos earlier and I love how gorgeous my dress is in all of the pictures. It was the perfect dress and choosing it was the simplest and most enjoyable experience thanks to Cutting Edge Brides. I was so nervous but I was made to feel very comfortable and extremely special! Xxx

Jaime was absolutely lovely. Despite my daughter picking a dozen dresses to try on Jaimie couldn’t have been more helpful and patient. This place is an absolute treasure trove, looks very small from the outside but don’t let that put you off. It’s a must for every bride-to-be �

I would like to thank Suzanne for all her help! She was such a lovely person and after visiting other bridal shops it was really nice to go to a shop where the staff aren't pushy and make you feel uncomfortable. It was like visiting a friend and my daughter found a beautiful dress by Mooshki. Suzanne took all my daughters measurements and when the dress arrived it was a perfect fit. So thank you Suzanne for everything, Katie looked amazing on her wedding day �

I was referred to Cutting Edge Brides as they were having a designer day, and despite the four hour/180mile round trip to make my appointment I decided to visit their shop. I'd really struggled to find a dress nearer to home, I didn't feel comfortable in anything and knowing me I'll imagine I'll be wanting to run around and play on my wedding day and not be hindered by a dress. I was slightly apprehensive prior to my visit that perhaps I wasn't 'rockabilly' looking enough for the shop's style, but from the moment I stepped in the door I felt incredibly welcome and Suzanne was fantastic at helping me narrow down the options to find my perfect dress, whilst also letting me try on anything that caught my attention in the shop. She made my most dreaded part of the wedding planning a fun event! Trying on dresses is an exhausting activity and so I went away with a favourite dress in mind (not the designer I'd originally gone for!) and though about it for a couple of weeks. I happened to be in the area for work about a month later and Cutting Edge Brides were very accommodating at fitting me in at short notice to retry on my favourite. I spent ages in the shop trying "sitting" "bending" etc and Suzanne was very patient and understanding with me. One thing that stood out about Cutting Edge is their range of sizes to try on- I'd been bulldog clipped and pinned into so many dresses in other shops it was really refreshing to be able to try on dresses that actually fitted. I'm now eagerly awaiting the delivery of my dress, which I feel is absolutely perfect for me. If you are considering a shorter or more alternative dress this shop is an absolute must!

I wanted a 50s style wedding dress and they are not very easy to come by at most bridal shops . Someone told me about Cutting Edge bridal I was so happy when I found it was only 15 mins from where I live !!! Suzanne was lovely very welcoming and had asked question about the kind of dress I wanted when I made the appointment and had some ready for me to try in they were all fabulous and I found the perfect one Suzanne couldn't have been more helpful and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to find that perfect cutting edge dress for their big day .

Thank you again ❤️

I visited cutting edge bride yesterday such a cute boutique with amazing dresses and at such good prices. Suzanne was lovely she gave me such a warm welcome and she knows her stuff about all her dresses. she had lots of dresses ready for me to try on and even in my size, (big size) I even found "the one" would definitely recommend a visit if your looking for that special unique dress.

I visited Cutting Edge Brides last August and was wowed immediately by the beautiful selection of dresses! My mum and I were greeted warmly by Jaimie, who was outstanding and made choosing my wedding dress such a fun and special experience! After trying on a quite a few dresses, I found the perfect one for my wedding in Italy and cannot thank Jaimie, Suzanne and Christina enough! You must visit this stunning boutique to see for yourself!

I travelled for just under 2 hours to get to Cutting Edge and it was time well spent. They have such a great collection of dresses and the staff are AMAZING. I had my appointment with Suzanne and I must have tried on at least 20 dresses. I never felt rushed and she was so helpful and lovely. I never felt pressured to buy anything (which I had felt at other bridal shops) and she really encouraged me to try on a range of styles. I found the most perfect dress and I couldn't be happier. So glad I found this place! A huge thank you to Suzanne for helping me find my dress :)

I have just picked up my wedding dress from Cutting Edge Brides after having some alterations made to it. It's so beautiful and I cannot wait to be wearing it on my special day in June. Cutting Edge Brides was the first wedding shop I visited ! I needed to go nowhere else !! From the moment I walked into the shop to have a look and to try some dresses on I was made to feel special. After trying on quite a few I found 'my dress' ! Many many thanks to Jo, Suzanne, Lorna and indeed Kristina who is magic with her needle ! Thank you all so very much xx

I had my heart set on a tea length dress and Cutting Edge Brides had so many to choose from. They were friendly and extremely accommodating. When I was let down last minute by another supplier, Cutting Edge pulled out all the stops to ensure that I had the shoes of my dreams for the big day. I loved my dress and enjoyed the whole experience of dress shopping at Cutting Edge.

I had always wanted a ballerina length dress, and when I finally got married in july the hunt was on for the perfect dress. Cutting edge brides was the perfect place to make my dream come true !! The Polly dress was just what i wanted to make my special day . The people and service was brilliant. Thank you all

I found my dress over a year ago. I went in on my own to find it and Suzanne helped me with the dresses. We narrowed it down to some I liked and she photographed them for me so I could compare them together.

Every time I have been in the shop it has been friendly and relaxed. Even dropping on them at the last minute I was pregnant and my dress needed altering, they bought me into the shop the week before my wedding and had it altered to fit and collect 2 days before the big day. I would recommend here to anyone looking for this specific style dress that might be nervous about going in or not sure about what would suit them! It was so nice to be able to try on any I wanted whereas other bridal shops tend to steer you in a direction they think you would like.

Thank you ladies for making this part of the planning so easy and such a joy to do x

I am so so glad I made the journey to visit Cutting Edge Brides last year! Not only was the service so lovely and helpful (Jo and Suzanne), the dresses are stunning. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted so I bought one and the incredible Kristina altered it, making the dress of my dreams! I felt so comfortable and happy at our wedding last week and had no end of compliments. Thank you always Cutting Edge!

I visited the store on 18th August last year and having just married I thought I should make sure I make clear just how brilliant the staff are at this wedding dress shop. Although the dress I ended up with was not from Cutting Edge Bridal in the end, the service I had from Jaimie, when I came into the store was absolutely amazing, she was so patient, kind and supportive- it was a lovely experience and it genuinely improved my self esteem about wearing a wedding dress as I was extremely worried about it. The dresses were beautiful also and there was an excellent range. Thank you so much for your time.

From the moment I stepped into the shop (which, if you like tea-length dresses is, frankly, like a sweetshop!) I felt completely relaxed and comfortable. Suzanne is fantastic - she knows her ranges so well. I'd decided on one designer and she steered me towards another range, which fitted my figure much better. The dress I went with was not one I'd picked but one Suzanne picked having listened to everything I'd said about what I wanted. It was perfect! And she was able to suggest some alterations, which I wouldn't have known were possible. Krystyna, who did the alterations, is highly skilled. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Cutting edge have a fantastic range of styles and beautiful dresses! After trying other shops I was so impressed with the amount of choice available! Suzanne helped me try on lots of styles and I came back after taking photos to make the final decision. It arrived ahead of time and the alterations were amazing! Love my dress Thankyou so much!!

Cutting Edge Brides were fantastic for me - amazing range to choose from, excellent service and I could not have been happier with the result. Highly recommend! (Even recommended some lovey local cafes in Bexley for me to visit!). I only went to this shop, all done in 60 minutes - perfect experience! �

Visited the shop today after seeing their catwalk show at the Excel. The dresses looked fabulous, funky and fun. This is my second wedding and at a registry office. I therefore didn't want something too formal. I thought that the dresses would be too young for me (43) but was assured this wouldn't be the case.

Jo was great. So helpful and really listened to what i wanted, didn't want or just wasn't sure about.

I went to the appointment expecting to write off the dresses and left having bought one that was beautiful and just right for me.

Cant wait for May to try it on again.

Thank you for all your help, Jo. Unfortunately, Maddie wants us to move so that she can take you up on your offer of a Saturday job!,
