Wedding dresses in Preston
An easy run down the M55 from Preston, our Cleveleys boutique gives Preston brides a private, unhurried appointment with five designer labels, and not a sales pitch in sight.
Bridal by Brittany Ann · for Preston brides
Preston has the shops and the city buzz, but a wedding dress is worth a proper occasion of its own. Lots of our brides drive over from Preston, Fulwood and Penwortham to spend a relaxed hour or two with us in Cleveleys, phones down, fizz poured, the boutique entirely theirs.
We're around 30 minutes away: straight out on the M55, then the A585 towards Fleetwood and into Cleveleys town centre. There's pay-and-display parking a couple of minutes from the door, so it's an easy morning out, and the seafront's right there for lunch afterwards.
If you're planning a celebration at one of Preston's well-loved hotels or out towards the Ribble Valley, we'll help you find a gown that fits the day, your shape and your budget, from kinder-priced labels to couture-level Justin Alexander.

Straight answers
Is it worth the drive from Preston?
Preston has bridal shops of its own, so it is a fair question. The honest answer is that it depends what you want from the day. If you want to see a lot of gowns quickly, a bigger city centre showroom may suit you better, and we will happily say so.
What brides tell us they come to Cleveleys for is the appointment itself. You have the whole boutique for ninety minutes, and either Brittany or Gill is with you from the first coffee to the last zip. We stock five labels, Maggie Sottero, Sottero & Midgley, Rebecca Ingram, Hayley Paige and Justin Alexander, so you can compare very different designers side by side without driving between shops.
Practically, the M55 does most of the work. Leave Preston after the morning rush and you will be parked in Cleveleys in about half an hour, with the promenade a few minutes' walk away if you want to make a day of it.
Before you book
What your appointment looks like
We start by talking. Where you are marrying, the time of year, anything you have already tried and ruled out. A lot of Preston brides are planning a hotel or country house day out towards the Ribble Valley, and that tends to shape the fabric and silhouette conversation more than anything on Pinterest.
Then we bring four or five gowns to begin with rather than twenty. You try them on properly, clipped to your size so you see the real shape, and we tell you honestly what each one is doing for you. Up to four guests can join you in the fitting suite.
The appointment is free and there is no obligation to buy. Gowns start at £1,105, the middle of the collection sits around £1,630 and a few couture pieces go above £4,000. Where a designer asks us not to publish a price online, just ask and we will tell you straight away.

Questions from Preston brides
More from the journal: choosing a gown for your body shape, when to start looking in Lancashire, and how our outlet rail works.
How do I get to you from Preston?
It's about 30 minutes, out on the M55, onto the A585 towards Fleetwood, then into Cleveleys town centre (FY5 3LG). There's pay-and-display parking a couple of minutes' walk from the boutique.
Can I bring my mum and bridesmaids?
Please do. Our private fitting suite seats up to four guests comfortably. We just gently suggest bringing the few people whose opinions matter most.
How far ahead should I order my dress?
Made-to-order gowns take around 6–8 months, plus alterations, so 9–12 months before the wedding is ideal. Shorter run-up? Ask about rush orders and our off-the-rail outlet gowns.
Are there bridal shops in Preston itself?
Yes, Preston has several. We are a small independent boutique about 30 minutes away in Cleveleys, where every appointment is private and you are looked after by Brittany or Gill throughout. Plenty of Preston brides visit a city centre shop and us, and that is a sensible way to compare.
How much are your wedding dresses?
Gowns start at £1,105, most sit between about £1,400 and £2,000, and a few couture pieces go above £4,000. Some designers ask us to share prices in person, so ask on the phone or at your appointment and we will tell you straight away. Our outlet rail has sample gowns at reduced prices.
What sizes can I try on?
Our sample gowns run from about a UK 8 to a UK 24, and we clip or pin them so you can see how a gown will look made to your measurements. Every gown is then ordered to your size.
