Our Brides

Alexa and Andrew

Tell us how you and your partner met. Your ‘love story’…

I met Andrew when I was 16 and we have been inseparable ever since… we love to travel together and make memories.

How did you feel before your first appointment to try on gowns?

Nervous! Andrew had asked me over and over to get married and I always said no – 3 years ago I fell very poorly and spent 3 months in hospital. I woke up with an ileostomy bag, which means I have a constant bag on my side… that was when I decided I would never wear a wedding dress. But after visiting Y.A.P Bridal my mind was completely changed. I wanted to wear my wedding dress walking out of the shop and let everyone see me in it!

Did you have in mind the style and look you wanted from your gown? If so what was it?

I thought I could never wear a fitted dress, I usually stick to things that hide my bag. But the Y.A.P team gave me the confidence to try on a fitted style of dress and at that point I knew this was the shape for me!

How did your consultation during your appointment help to find the perfect dress for you?

It made me feel totally at ease. I cannot describe how beautiful the team and experience made me feel.

Tell us about your bridal stylist and the ‘You Are Precious’ service you received …

The only way I can describe it is ‘a dream’. I felt special from start to finish and the Y.A.P team gave me the confidence boost I very much needed.

How did you feel when you found your precious gown & how did you know it was ‘The One’?

The tears of my bridesmaid and the look on my Mams face was enough to make me just know.

How did you feel in your amazing Y.A.P gown when you tied the knot?

When I saw Andrews face I knew the dress was the right decision… (as if I had any doubt!)
