How did you find the experience of dress shopping?

Finding my wedding dress turned out to be one of the most special parts of the whole experience.

What did you expect before you started shopping?

I honestly thought dress shopping would feel stressful and overwhelming, but after seeing White Gallery on TikTok, I just knew I’d find the dress of my dreams there. 

How did you know when you found ‘the one’?

The dress I chose was actually completely different to what I imagined myself wearing, but the moment I put it on, I instantly knew it was the one. I walked out of the changing room and my mum, my two bridesmaids, and I were all in tears — it was such an emotional and unforgettable moment.

What made your experience special?

I can’t thank the girls at White Gallery enough for all the help and support they gave me throughout the whole process. They made me feel so comfortable, listened to everything I wanted, and made the entire experience so memorable from start to finish.
