She didn’t turn up to our appointment! Her excuse being that I didn’t confirm with her 25 times before. I got an email CONFIRMING my appointment and it said click here to cancel or amend. NOWHERE did it ask me to confirm otherwise she just wouldn’t bother showing up to her job. How ridiculously unprofessional! What a waste of time. She also apparently didn’t have a single mermaid style wedding dress so her collection is pathetic and extremely limited.

I absolutely loved my time in the Wilderness Bride studio with Stephanie. I travelled from Devon to Manchester and back in a day to see her, and it was so worth it. I’m a really indecisive and self-conscious person, so wedding dress shopping was actually becoming quite stressful. But from the moment I arrived, I knew Stephanie would find me the right dress. All the Wilderness Bride gowns are beautiful. They are cut in such flattering ways, they are stunning yet also subtle and natural. I haven’t seen dresses like this anywhere else. Stephanie listened so carefully to how I felt in all the gowns, and is now designing me a bespoke one which is a mixture of all my favourite parts of the gowns I loved. Couldn’t recommend Wilderness Bride more x

I booked an appointment at Wilderness Bride after I saw one of Stephanie’s dresses on Instagram, and I’m so glad I did! Communication was amazing from the first moment, and we felt instantly welcomed when we arrived. Trying on dresses before has felt rushed and daunting, but my appointment here was the opposite. Stephanie took such good care of us! I was able to try on several dresses and chat about altering them to my preferences which was fab. We even discussed which flowers, hairstyles and accessories would compliment them. I went with a particular dress in mind but I left so in love with another one that I’m thinking of ways to convince my fiancé I need both! I can’t thank Stephanie enough for her talent, time and attention. I’d absolutely recommend Wilderness Bride to anyone looking for unique, timeless pieces and amazing service. I’m so excited to visit again and show my mum the dress(es) of my dreams!

The whole experience at Wilderness was wonderful. I'd been to other bridal shops that felt a bit fussy but Stephanie immediately provided a relaxed and welcoming environment. She helped me find my perfect style and I loved my dress - thanks so much!

My sister booked an appointment with Stephanie for me for Bridal shopping and I cannot thank her enough, it was such a lovely experience and she made us all feel really comfortable and have a laugh. Whilst I didn't purchase my dress from Stephanie in the end as I had seen another that stole my heart, I loved her designs and professionalism. She drew up a sketch for me of what she could create from changes that I wanted to make and her 1-2-1 approach just made me feel so special. I wanted to write a review as a thank you to Stephanie and as a compliment to her service! I would highly recommend!

I cannot thank Stephanie enough for creating my perfect wedding dress. I had gone to several wedding dress shops but nothing felt right. However, when I stepped into wilderness bride studio I felt automatically at ease and finally felt I had found the right place. On my visit I tried on a few different designs but I liked different parts of different dresses so Stephanie sketched the exact design that I asked for. The dress has come out exactly how I had imagined and it feels completely unique. The whole experience was wonderful and felt very personal without feeling overwhelming. I couldn’t recommend wilderness bride enough. Thank you again Stephanie.
