Our Brides

Amy and Lee

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

Lee and I met nearly 8 years ago now, through a mutual friend, at a house warming party. Lee being from Glasgow and myself from Newcastle, it was 2 years before we decided to go on a date but I’m so glad we did! We had such a lovely first date in Edinburgh and we never looked back!

How did you feel before your first bridal appointment? Did you have in mind the style you wanted from your gown? If so what was it?

I was a little apprehensive before my first bridal appointment as I didn’t know what to expect and I had very little idea about the style of gown I would like. The girls at Y.A.P suggested I pick out some styles that appeal to me from the Y.A.P Instagram and with our wedding being a winter one, I thought I might like to try long sleeves.

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

When I found ‘The one’, needless to say, it was nothing like the styles I thought I would like. It also didn’t have long sleeves! However, it’s true what they say, ‘When you know, you know’ and as soon as I tried it on I just knew it was ‘The One’!

Describe how your gorgeous Y.A.P gown made you feel when you tied the knot with your fiancé?

My dress made me feel so glam whilst being comfortable all day! I was so nervous about walking down the aisle, but I felt so good in my dress that, although being centre of attention isn’t really something I relish, it gave me so much confidence!

Tell us about the ‘You Are Precious’ service you received along your bridal journey …

Y.A.P was the first bridal appointment I went to and having only booked our wedding 6 months in advance of the wedding date, I was quite anxious I needed find a dress fairly quickly. The girls at Y.A.P put me at ease from the first phone conversation and the appointment was no different!

Kat helped me try on a few of the designs I had picked out, to get an idea about what I did and didn’t like and help inform the ladies at Y.A.P to suggest other styles of dresses. This was so helpful as I think I would have been overwhelmed trying to choose what to try on without their help! The last dress Kat and Brogan picked out was the dress that became my ‘One’ and I can’t thank them enough! The experience from start to finish was just perfect – the best customer service!
