Our Brides

Rhi and Andrew

Tell us how you felt before your first appointment to try on gowns…

I was really nervous, I’d just had a baby a few months before I started dress shopping so I was really anxious about trying dresses on. I’d been to a couple of Bridal Boutiques before Y.A.P and had left empty handed and wondering what I actually wanted in a dress.

On arriving at Y.A.P Bridal Boutique what were your initial thoughts…

I thought the Boutique was gorgeous and the welcome we got from the girls was amazing! They made me totally relaxed and like I was the only bride to be in the whole world.

Your Style Ideas…

I knew I wanted something with a vintage feel and also with a bit of colour to it – as that suited my skin tone better than ivory. I wanted to be able to dance and enjoy my evening, so I didn’t want anything too restricting. I really like Maggie Sottero gowns they are so beautiful, I knew I’d probably choose a Maggie Gown. I wanted a Gown that people would remember when they thought about the day.

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

When I arrived I had a quick chat with Danni, she made me feel totally at ease – I could tell she knew her stuff. She took some details to get a feel of the day we were having. I chose some dresses and Danni chose some too, it was fab having someone else’s input, she chose so well she really knew what would suit and flatter my figure. Everything from start to finish was just brilliant.

Your Consultation to Finding the One…

The service I received from the girls in Y.A.P from the beginning until my wedding day was amazing, even down to getting a text on the morning of my wedding day. They made myself and my Bridal Party feel so welcome at every appointment. They have such a passion for what they are doing and its reflected in their brilliant customer service.

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

I knew my Gown was ‘The One’ as soon as I put it on! I felt stunning in it, it had all of the details I wanted even though it wasn’t what I initially thought I wanted In a gown. It did take me another couple of visits to definitely say yes (I am a total worrier even though deep down I knew it was The One) but I couldn’t stop thinking about it and every time I tried it on I didn’t want to take it off.

Talk to us about your overall Y.A.P Bridal Journey…

My Y.A.P Bridal journey was amazing. I felt excited for every appointment it was like going to see old friends, Danni and Jo are so professional they make you feel so welcome, it’s a huge honour to be able to call myself a Y.A.P Bride. The boutique is simply stunning and all of the team were brilliant nothing was too much effort for them.

Rhi and Andrew – A truly spectacular day at the fantastical Newton Hall in Northumberland. Relaxed and vintage in styling… with shades of nude and pale pinks. Rhi’s boho styling with her gown and hair matched her themes perfectly and she looked absolutely stunning.
