The experts in creating unique, customised gowns for every Bride and budget!
Who we are and what we do...
Blue & Sixpence was born out of our own experience - we wanted fabulous service, choice, style, fit and price- and just couldn't find it.
On average, a gown takes 9000 litres of water to make, consumes vast amounts of raw materials and resources before being shipped halfway around the world. We knew we could do better!
All of our gowns are brand new designer samples, meaning you save at least 50% compared to buying made-to-order. We also help recent Brides to sell their gowns, too! Regular "Sell Your Gown Sundays" are announced on our socials - don't miss them!
We don't believe that your bridal shopping experience should be dictated by only being able to shop in certain stores.
We stock sizes 4-52 so that every Bride, whatever her shape, size, style or budget can have a wonderful, friendly, relaxed and private Bridal experience.
Ali is also a lady with a fuller figure, so she knows EXACTLY what it's like and how to make you feel completely at your ease!
On site Facilities:
Masses of free parking.
Plenty of accessible parking bays.
Friendly Reception staff to direct you.
Fully accessible toilets.

Testimonials
The perfect experience
"I said yes to the dress today with Ali and the whole experience start to finish was amazing. Ali went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable and excited about everything and had such a wide range of plus size dresses so I had the chance to try on different styles until I found the one, really involving my bridesmaids and letting them join in choosing dresses for me to try. Ali's knowledge and taste was absolutely on point and she recommended the perfect accessory which really fit the theme of my wedding and the dress I fell in love with. I was really pleased with the quality of everything in the shop and the prices along with the offer of a payment plan helped take the pressure off as well. She even found the time today for a second appointment with me so I could fetch my Mum before making my final decision, I am so glad that I chose Blue and Six Pence it was a better experience than I could have ever imagined. Highly recommend to any bride and especially anyone looking for plus sizes and wanted a real choice of beautiful affordable gowns"

I found my gown!!
"Ali at Blue & Sixpence is everything you need when finding your wedding dress. She is friendly, professional, informative and full of the best advice and tips. I was apprehensive going to try on dresses but Ali put my nerves at rest. I had ideas of what I wanted which Ali listened to and guided my (& bridal party) choices to find something perfect for me! Added bonus was the great value price of the dress! Would recommend Blue & Sixpence to everyone!!"

So comfortable!
"As a plus size bride the idea of going wedding dress shopping filled me with dread rather than getting excited!
Blue & sixpence was recommended to me on a Facebook and figured I had nothing to lose. I never expected to buy a dress my first time trying dresses on but the selection was fabulous and Ali was great! I felt so comfortable and had a true bridal experience! Prices were fantastic and completely within budget! Just go!"
