Tell us how you felt before your first appointment to try on gowns…
I felt nervous and excited. I had tried on at a couple of places beforehand. I had heard nothing but good reviews about Y.A.P Bridal Boutique.
On arriving at Y.A.P Bridal Boutique what were your initial thoughts…
Loved the atmosphere and it was very welcoming. The boutique oozed elegance.
Your Style Ideas…
I always thought I would have a strapless gown, but as I headed to my appointments the more I thought about it, I was leaning towards a gown with lace sleeves. Just something simple and elegant.
Your Consultation to Finding the One…
The boutique was so unique. Jo sat me down and asked some questions about the wedding venue and my thoughts on what type of dress I was looking for.
Tell us about your bridal stylist and the ‘You Are Precious’ service you received…
From the beginning Jo was amazing. Very bubbly and welcoming. After our consultation, Jo hand picked dresses in the boutique based on our conversation. It really helped take the stress out of choosing a dress with her guidance. When there is so much choice at your appointments it can be a bit daunting and so I found this really settling.
How did you feel when you found your dream gown & how did you know it was ‘The One’…
I was over the moon! The one I chose was one of the gowns that Jo had picked out for me. It was so elegant and the lace detail was beautiful. It was when I revisited the boutique after having a little think and tried the dress on again, that I knew it was definitely the gown. I felt so special and to mark the occasion, Jo treat us to some bubbly!
Talk to us about your overall Y.A.P Bridal Journey…
The Y.A.P Team are just amazing! From the beginning with Jo in helping me find the perfect gown – I was initially torn between two dresses, to try and clear my head and knew I had to try both gowns back on to be sure I was making the right decision. Jo was very patient and it wasn’t a problem me going back to the Boutique and trying my favourite gown back on. It was just an amazing feeling when I realised it was ‘The One’!
The Aftercare Team are fab. Anne Y.A.P’s recommended seamstress is just superb and nothing was a bother. She also did the alterations on my bridesmaids’ dresses. One of my bridesmaids was pregnant at the time so needed a few tweaks and Anne did a brilliant job on her dress. Anne was so confident with working on my bridesmaids dresses that it took the stress away from me. Danni and Heather are lovely and were always on hand to help, looking after me and the bridesmaids during our appointments. There was never anything to worry about – Everything went so smoothly. The day before the wedding I picked up my gown, along with the bridesmaid dresses, they were all steamed to perfection and everything was ready to go. I can’t thank the Y.A.P Team enough!
A truly wonderful wedding for Caroline and Anthony at the fantastic Wynyard Hall. With a strong Peacock theme running throughout, the pairs day was a relaxed and elegant affair. Caroline wore an ornate lace gown by designer Mori Lee which complimented her style so much – the perfect dress for a perfect day.
