"Such lovely friendly staff, easy to get in touch with."
Cons:
"Absolutely shocking service! Pre booking requires information relating to sizes of bridesmaids/brides and budget."
"Appalling inhuman person who have no regard for life only money."
"Once they found that out I have heard nothing since. Even followed up with a second message. Complete silence."
"The customer service was disappointingly insincere and condescending."
"The owner of the shop, Becky was intent on still making a profit from someone’s demise, she did not care and her only concern was that the dress was paid for."
"Terrible experience. Every bride to be deserves to be treated special and this was not my nieces experience."
"Unfortunately, I can not rate any higher than this. I went to Bromley Brides & whilst the service in store was great - the aftercare was beyond appalling."

Cons:

"I ended up paying nearly £700 for alterations."
"Fatima, while being a lovely person, did a really terrible job on my dress and dropped it off at the shop as 'ready to pick up' without me even trying it on."
"It was very quickly apparent that very few dresses were in a size above 12 and due to limited range/sizes it was difficult to make a selection."
"One hick up when putting the actual deposit on the dress and mentioned the alterations I wanted which for a second we were told wouldn't be possible."
"Dress prices are significantly higher than competitors. I suggest comparing prices online to see the difference."
"To sell a dress and then demand an additional item is purchased after payment has been taken is appalling."

"They fraudulently misrepresented a receipt, which was actually a contract."
"Shameful, disgusting company who play on your happiness and excitement to get married, with no real desire to please their clients."
"A truly lovely afternoon ruined by the awful owner."
"The manager was eating a greasy burrito on the shop floor unconcerned about the smell or grease getting on the dresses."

"The seamstress is totally unprofessional and insists on payment for work before its even been done."
"What a terrible experience. The seamstress is totally unprofessional and insists on payment for work before its even been done."
"The same manager took a break from her lunch to explain that the alterations were not their problem and the seamstress doesn’t work for them anymore."
"To sell a dress and then demand an additional item is purchased after payment has been taken is appalling."
"Pleasant experience until I had ordered my dress and bridesmaid dresses. Once ordered everything went downhill, my dress went missing on my first appointment."
