We have slashed the prices of over 20 of our dresses this weekend.  The dresses are available to purchase off the peg, or made to order for this price. 

Some of these dresses include Amy, Amber, Corrine, Selene, Patience, Serenity,Caret, Lotus, Lottie, Tourmaline, Abalone, Bordeaux and Adele.  To give you some specific examples, Abalone drops from £1,390 to £1,090 and Tourmaline drops from £1,490 to £1,190 Patience drops from £540 to £390 and Amber drops from £890 to £670.

Gimmic?  No, this is permanent so for no specified time period and is available for dresses made to order or purchased off the peg.

How can we do this?  Our philosophy is based upon the more dresses we sell, the more our prices lower,  We cannot afford to drop the prices of all our prices but we select some that we are able to reach an arrangement with the designers to sell the dresses at a lower price.  If we sell alot of dresses throughout the store, we can afford to reduce our prices and pass on the benefit to you the customer.  We could just pat ourselves on the back for the amount of brides we make happy, but we would rather give you the benefit!  That is our philosophy and always has been if you read the other web pages and speak to us.  We dont ever pay for advertising – we dont need to.  So the money we save in that, we pass the benefit on to our customers by reducing our prices.  How good is that? !!!

I hope this brings some happiness to our customers – getting the dress of their dreams whilst saving some money!

Dear Emma, Christine and all at the Bridal Lounge of York, Thank you all so much for all your help with my wedding dress!  The Lounge is lovely and has a nice homely feel to it and you offer beautiful dresses at very good prices.  I felt very relaxed and at ease when trying on dresses and Christine was very patient, helpful but not pushy as some assistants can be.  Thank you Emma for finding extra fabric for me to add capped sleeves to the dress. It is absolutely beautiful.  Thanks again for such a wonderful experience.   Ruth

The customer service at The Bridal Lounge of York is absolutely first rate. I was nervous about the whole experience of getting a wedding dress and Emma was amazing, I felt completely comfortable from the moment I walked in the shop. Having visited a few other shops where I had felt a bit like a fish out of water, this was an altogether much more enjoyable experience. I felt reassured that everything to do with finding the right dress, getting it delivered, the fitting and the overall result was totally smooth and I had every confidence that I could discuss any concerns and seek their advice. They truly are the experts. Thanks Emma, it was a perfect day and I felt so very special in my beautiful dress.

Thank you and your staff once again for the fabulous and friendly service you provided for myself in choosing my wedding dress. I cannot believe that it is all over now after all those months of waiting and altering the dress. We had a fantastic day and the weather was beautiful, so fortunate with how our summer has been so far.
I have attached a couple of photographs which may be useful for future brides who may want to get an idea of how a wide strap would look on a dress. You may like to show these to Karen as it was her brilliant handiwork that made the dress exactly what I wanted.

Thank you again I would certainly recommend The Bridal Lounge.

It makes my day to hear from customers that they have had an enjoyable experience and we all feel very rewarded when we hear thanks.

The Bridal Lounge of York and it’s lovely staff made choosing my wedding dress a real pleasure and a lot of fun. All three ladies who dealt with me made me feel like nothing was too much trouble, making me feel at ease straight away and offering some great advice about what would suit me. Their attitude towards helping you to find the right dress was fantastic, not rushing you to make a decision and offering a very reasonable refund policy in case you change your mind. I would recommend it to everyone!

I am so glad you enjoyed your visits to the store Kelly, and thank you once again for kindly taking the time to write a review on Google.

Best wishes

Emma

review on Google in December 2010 after a visit to the store.

It is always nice to hear someone reflecting on a positive experience.  I would like

to say thank you to “Robyn” for investing the time to write the review as this gives

such motivation to the staff at the store who are not incentivised in any way to

sell the products.  You can rest assured that our aim is to give a friendly, welcoming

and helpful service.  I am so glad and proud you felt you received that!   Thank you Robyn.

Regards

Emma

A fantastic, spacious and beautiful shop with a very impressive collection. My helper was incredibly patient and kind. I bought and walked away with my beautiful dress the same afternoon – what a weight off my mind. Of all the shops I went in to look for dresses, this was the most welcoming, helpful, and had the nicest atmosphere. 

  “You have participated in making this day so wonderful, so thanks a lot for everything”

Thanks to Mary for allowing me to share these fantastic photographs of her special day.

We are very excited  to have seen this review from Natalie on our facebook site in June 2010:

I still have Natalies card in my store and the photograph from her wedding.  Every time I look at it, it brings a smile to my face.  Such a natural photograph.  Natalie was an absolute pleasure to deal with.  Such a shame that the journey ends for me when the wedding takes place!

We have also enhanced our crime prevention measures by installing CCTV cameras.  This is a measure that adds benefits to our customers and the staff that work within the store.  By preventing crime, we keep our costs down for our customers.  You can be assured that by taking these measures it is another step we are making to offering affordable bridal gowns.  We constantly seek to ensure we offer the best price possible to helping you manage your wedding budget.  Not only that, we are a business that cares about our employees and will take the necessary steps to ensure a safe working environment for those people who care about offering you the best possible service.

Our recyling programme has been enhanced.  We now ensure all cardboard in the shop is recycled appropriately.  We  have invested the time and money to ensure we are a business that gives necessary care to look after our environment.  No cardboard leaves our shop which is not recycled.

Finally, we are very excited about the new dresses that arrived in our collection.  Scarlett, Melody, and Eden arrived in our collection this month.  We receive new dresses every month, so if you do not find “the one” on your first visit, we are happy to call you when something more suitable arrives in store.  Just let us know what you are looking for.    Below are the picutres of Scarlett, Melody and Eden that arrived in June.
