Tell us about your experience at Morgan Davies Bridal: I absolutely loved my experience buying my wedding dress from Morgan Davies in Hitchin. From the first appointment, everyone was so helpful. I never felt rushed or pressured into choosing a particular option or making a decision on the spot like some other shops I had been to. I had some vague ideas of what I wanted, but because Morgan Davies had such a varied selection of dresses, I was able to try so many different styles on. The dress I ended up going for was nothing like what I had imagined I would choose, but when I put it on in the shop, I knew it was the one. The team were great in helping me also find a veil that went perfectly with my dress and helped me achieve the train I had wanted. Morgan Davies made the experience so special for me, my mum and my maid of honour, and we just loved every minute of wedding dress shopping with them. I would absolutely recommend Morgan Davies to anyone about to start their hunt for the perfect wedding dress!

Tell us about your wedding!: Our wedding was more than we could have ever dreamed of. As cliché as it is to say, it was absolutely the best day of our lives. I had kept my dress a secret from my bridesmaids and so only my mum and maid of honour knew what my dress looked like, and because it was so different to what I would usually go for, we knew no one was expecting it. The reveal to my bridesmaids was brilliant, and the reaction of my now husband was also amazing, he was so surprised! So many guests were shocked by the dress, but thought it was amazing, and I felt a million dollars in it all day. I've told so many people, it will forever be my most favourite and most beautiful thing I own. The day itself was gorgeous. We got so lucky after a full week of rain that the sun came out and it felt like a proper summer's day. It felt very personal to us with the personal touches we had tried to incorporate and it was just amazing to have all of our favourite people in one place together for such a happy occasion. The speeches went from having people in tears to in fits of laughter, and we had a gorgeous gin bar reception whilst we waited for our band. We had a live band who were unbelievable. They performed our first dance song, You've Got the Love, and then kept the dance floor full all night. We were lucky that everyone at our wedding was staying at our venue, so we all danced the night away until about 3am. It was just the best day ever.
