A big Thank You to our lovely 2015-16 brides

Sadly, we'd didn't make the final of the The Wedding Industry Awards 2017 but we're delighted by what our customers have said about us when voting for us. We'd like to thank all of you lovely ladies for your support...

“I loved the entire experience! I started my search at their previous location and really enjoyed the shopping experience. When I went to try on my dress at their new location I was wowed by the space. It really does them justice. I couldn't be happier with FairyGothMother!”
Mrs Jennifer (Wallace) O'Donoghue

“Staff so friendly and unpretentious Really knowledgeable and helpful. Amazing ranger of products Great value for beautiful dresses”
Mrs Rachel Dain Joyce

“We purchased a new sample dress as time was a little tight with less than four months to our wedding. Importantly, it was exactly what I wanted - just two sizes too small. Very correctly I was cautioned on buying a dress and loosing the weight but it was worth the gamble! Complete strangers were coming up to me and calling to us as we walked from the Registry Office to the hotel where we were having our wedding lunch saying how they loved the dress. I felt a million dollars too!”
Mrs Kate Waller

“What I most appreciated about FairyGothMother was the level of service from the staff. I wanted down-to-earth, non-judgemental people to help me with advice, choices and fitting and that's what I found. I found everyone to be really supportive. I was so happy with my dress and how it fit. Everyone who saw me on the day and who's seen photos since has said it was perfect and exactly me.”

“Such a genuinely friendly and welcoming experience... I wanted a 1950s tea dress and then range was amazing. They picked out the perfect dress for my size and shape and I was sold! It was hassle free and the best range of tea dresses I found... Really fantastic service”
Mrs Claire Smith (Johnson)

“Dulcie was the perfect dress and because she was knee length, she managed to last out the entirety of my awesome day! Choosing her, however, was extremely difficult as we struggled to narrow down our options to 4, let alone 1! Emma convinced me to keep the black lace and I looked as though Hepburn and Chanel had had a reunion. Just exquisite so original!”
Mrs Talia Matous (Hutchison)

“Had a really large selection of tea-length and 50s style dresses. Staff were very friendly and helpful in pulling out dresses that matched my requirements and stuck to my budget rather than suggesting more expensive ones. The dress was beautiful and was altered to fit perfectly. They moved location in between me choosing the dress and going for the first fitting - the new shop was not as attractive inside, as it was a bit bare, but perhaps it was yet to be fully fitted out.”
Ms Priscilla McClay

“It was a really enjoyable experience choosing my wedding dress at FairyGothmother. The dresses were beautiful and the staff were very helpful and welcoming.”
Ms Anja Fee

“FairyGothMother has a fabulous range of wedding dresses that are not easily available anywhere else. The staff are really helpful and put you at ease. I got my bridesmaid dresses there too because the dresses were so beautiful and everything went really well.”
Ms Teresa Ready

“From first looking at the website to when I left the shop with my dress the service I received was awesome. I was made to feel really at home and comfortable, as was my mum who came with me. The range of dresses and the time taken with me to select ones to try on was excellent and I felt I was given honest feedback on how the dresses looked. I ordered my dress at short notice and it arrived with at least 6 weeks to spare! I couldn't have asked for better people to get my dress from. Thank you!”
Ms Claire Stanley

“It felt relaxed and fun not over the top like a lit of wedding dress shops I went to. My dress was even out of stock as it was last years but they had it made for me!”
Mrs Emma Bailey

“I was very happy with my experience at FairyGothMother, I loved my dress, there was loads of choice in the vintage style I was looking for and something for everyones budget. The staff were friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was laid pack and unpretentious and I felt at ease. I wish all bridal shops were more like them! Everything was straight forward through the whole process. After the alteration my dress was a perfect fit, and great fun to wear. Thank you FairyGothMother!”
Mrs Rosie Spragg

“I especially came from Switzerland to get a wedding dress at FairyGothMother, they have a great collection. The staff was very professional and friendly.”
Mrs Alexandra Burkart

“Very welcoming and helpful, throughout the process of buying my dress.”
Miss Hannah Carlisle (Moffatt)

“Excellent helpful professional service all round.”
Mrs Tracey Judd (Cole)

“I recommend FairyGothMother to brides who are looking for a different style of wedding dress. Their large range of vintage-style wedding dresses suits all types of brides and I wish there were more places that had wedding tea dresses like these.”

“Amazing selection of 1950s and tea dresses which I struggled to find at any other bridal store throughout London and Home Counties. Also a range of sample sizes in every dress, v helpful to see how the dress looks on you. You don't get all the pomp and glitz of some of the posher outlets, you won't get the customary champagne 'bribe', you get choice, no hassle, no pushy staff telling you how amazing you look in something that looks like a lacy sack. You get good, honest service, choice and value”
Mrs Natasha Hall (Barnett)

“As an older, curvier bride the thought of wedding dress shopping was leaving me cold..I found FairyGothMother and immediately knew they were perfect for me. Attentive but not fake or gushing, made me feel relaxed and welcome, I had real fun trying on dresses and nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful range of 50s gowns and expert advice without me ever feeling under pressure, especially from the lovely Emma.”
Mrs Joanne Morrey (Skeet)

“The first time I went there I was made to feel so welcome. I was worried they only offered 1 hour appointments but their staff were so good at knowing the stock this didn't matter. They ensured they stuck to the budget I gave them and didn't pressure me to try dresses over the budget. I said I wanted to go away and think about the dress before I made a final decision and there was complete u/standing from the staff about this. They made suggestions about altering the colour and it really worked.”
Mrs Thea Allum (Denison)

“Fantastic service, used them for self and bridesmaid. Living out in the country and being an older second time round, bride, they allowed plenty of time for fitting and then to try on again with all my accessories to make sure it was right. Can't thank them enough.”
Mrs Linda Wheeler (Lesh)

“As a very reserved and self-conscious bride, these were the best. I would always recommend .They found my perfect dress so easily And I could not recommend them more highly.”
Ms Hannah Kelly

“All the ladies were very helpful and reassuring towards me Loved all the 50's dresses too”
Mrs Louise Capes

“Loved the alternative designs and options, I chose a bright pink 1950's dress which I loved and the wedding attendees / everyone whom has seen photos just loved it. I was very happy and am very very very pleased I chose a non dull and boring supplier to approach. Poo poo to white dresses!”
Ms Sarah Singfield

“One of the only places I could find that did short wedding dresses in London - great service, thank you”
Mrs Aneliese Hirst

“I really wanted to wear a vintage style dress for my wedding but most were from specialist shops that were way out of my budget, fairy goth mother were really reasonably priced and beautifully made. I went twice to try dresses and both times the staff were friendly and helpful. They had a great selection of dresses and I ended up buying something completely different to what I'd imagined! I've been recommending you to all my friends who didn't realise you also do bridal wear.”
Mrs Rachael Teijido (Butler)

“The location of the shop and the range of dresses available were second to none. The staff were also incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel very special when helping choose my dress. I wanted a 1950s dress and was delighted to find a shop specialising in them with so many to choose from.”

“Lovely down to earth people. They made me feel very comfortable, they went the extra mile to ensure my dress was just how I wanted it.”
Mrs Valerie Dewsnip (Billington)

“I was having real trouble feeling like a bride at a size 16. A lot of the bridal shops I went to didn't have sizes which suited me or fitted me. I was left not wanting to go bridal shopping. As soon as I stepped into fairy goth mother they were so welcoming and gave me their undivided attention. I found so many dresses which not only suited me but fitted as well. I found my perfect dress and the whole team made me feel like a proper bride.”
Mrs Cassy-Ann Price

“I found you on the web and can to view your dresses and had a fab morning you were honest in a friendly way giving me good feedback as I tried them on the range of dresses was substantial and just what I needed and you were polite and friendly at all times and made me feel like I really mattered”
Mrs Clare Pearse

“I was able to try loads of dresses and choose colours - I have had so many compliments for how unique and glam my dress was - amazing staff who made me feel like part of the family. Could not have been more happy!”

“The ladies at FairyGothMother were always so helpful and welcoming when we went to visit. From my first appointment where they patiently let me try on basically everyone's in the shop because I wasn't sure what I wanted, to my last fitting where they all gathered round and told me how beautiful I looked, they all made me feel like their most important client and they were truly interested in all of the details of my wedding. Their dedication to ensuring I had my perfect dress was outstanding!”
Mrs Gemma Spurling (Calow)

“I had the most unique wedding dress, and I certainly stood out. I wanted to be different, and FairyGothMother made that happen. I wanted colour in my dress, not traditional, and in the end I tried on 4 dresses there and made my choice on the same day. I didn't even go to another boutique. Everyone was amazed at how different and beautiful my gown was, it made me feel so special, and the service form Emma was tremendous.”
Mrs Laura Rossiter (Ruane)

“I found a beautiful and different wedding dress through FairyGothMother! Excellent service from Emma. The only downside was the price, but hey, it's your wedding dress!!!”
Mrs Nathalie Liva

“Emma was brilliant in helping me find a dress. I couldn't try on the exact dress I wanted at the time but she helped to fully reassure me and help decide on the one! She made me feel really relaxed and although there was a bit of time pressure in getting the dress in time for a June wedding, I didn't feel stressed at all. It was great to pick up my dress from FairyGothMother's new premises which was so lovely! They also recommended me to an amazing seamstress for the final fit.It was all great!”
Ms Helen Pegram

“I found FairyGothMother online. Their range was fresh and interesting. It was different and stylish without being outlandish. The staff when we just popped in went out of their way to accommodate us. Every member of staff I saw & spoke to was friendly and interested. They clearly enjoy their work and customer service seems to come naturally. When I picked up the dress the seamstress made the alterations right then and there so I could pick it up within the hour as I'd come a long way.Excellent!”
Mrs Caroline McKenzie (Reed)

“I was looking for something unique that wasn't the usual long white wedding dress - originally I was going to try and find an actual vintage dress but this was even better as I could style it to me and my needs on the day. I never looked beyond FGM as they were exactly what I was looking for: cool, stylish, relaxed, friendly and happy to help in any way I needed. It's a nerve wracking process trying on your dress without the hair and make up and relying on phone pics but they made me confident I had made the right choice and never rushed me. Outstanding retailer and I would recommend them to any bride looking to be a bit different.”
