“ What to say about the experience of Leonie Claire! You and your staff made me and the rest of the female wedding party feel special - you were all so attentive and friendly. I have had no hesitation in recommending Leonie Claire ”

“ We had the most amazing wedding day and the dress was perfect, I felt great and everyone commented about how lovely the dress was. Thank you for all your help ”

“ Our wedding day was completely perfect and the dresses looked amazing :) Thank you so much for all that you did to help us get ready for the big day ”

“ I just wanted to say a huge thank-you for all your help with my recent wedding dress purchase. The wedding went off without a hitch and everyone commented on how amazing my dress looked. Thank you so much for everything you did for me ”

“ Purchasing my wedding dress was such a wonderful experience, once I'd found Leonie Claire. All your staff were so helpful and polite. Lowenna was like a long lost friend and Ann's expertise was faultless. My dress, as you can see from the photos was simply beautiful. I was nervous in the beginning about having the dress made in a different colour but the finished product was absolute perfection. I felt amazing from the minute I slipped it on till the minute I slipped it off! The structure made me feel secure and people’s compliments flowed all day ”

“ I'm so glad we came across your shop. We had various other experiences with Sussex Bridalwear shops and none were as welcoming as Leonie Claire and none spent the time pinning me into every dress I tried on so carefully so that even the complete no’s didn't make me look like a complete disgrace! And then the Suzanne Neville dress was discovered and we never looked back! I still can't believe how beautiful it was - I don't think I will ever wear anything as amazing ever again! It really was the happiest day of my life ”

“ Choosing my wedding dress was an experience I will never forget thanks to Leonie and her team at Leonie Claire. The beautiful range of dresses in store means there is plenty of choice but not too much choice which I found could be confusing at other bridal shops. From my first appointment Leonie really took the time to get to know me, my family and my wedding plans and gave such helpful advice when I was making the final choice of dress. Even once the dress was chosen I still experienced the fantastic service from Leonie and the other staff everytime I came back to the shop whether it was for a fitting or just to pop in to have another look at the dress one more time! On the day of the wedding I felt fantastic and received so many compliments on both the dress and the veil. I would really like to thank Leonie once again for helping me make the right choice and for making the experience so fun. I have since recommended several friends to Leonie Claire and they are very grateful! I just wish I could do it all over again! ”

“ I wanted to make the most of trying on dresses as I had dreamed about it for so long but as soon as I found Leonie my search came to an end. Leonie is such a lovely person and made my whole experience even more magical. She helped me find my perfect dress and added her own personal touches to make it not only a one off but the dress of my dreams. Leonie is very passionate about her job and really takes care of you which i had not found in the other Bridal shops. She made me feel very special from the very first day and was always there for me right until the last moment. I have recommended many people to visit Leonie when they are choosing their own dresses and i know a few have done so and found their dream dress too. I can't thank you enough Leonie for my beautiful dress ”

“ Given I was on a hen party when I came to see you, the situation wasn’t ideal! However, you made my friend Rhiannon and I feel so welcome and comfortable that I was hoping I would find my dress in your lovely shop – even though I live in London. Your help and advice continued even after I’d made my decision. Thank you.

Needless to say, on the day I felt amazing. The dress fitted like a glove and a number of my friends said that it was the most beautiful wedding dress they had ever seen. I’ve even had friends contacting me who weren’t at the wedding asking where I got it from, having seen photos of the day. I must also mention the veil that you made especially for me. I didn’t want to take it off! It went perfectly with the dress and was exactly the look that I had been aiming for. Thank you”.

“ The dress was PERFECT!! everything was just 100% fab fab fab! I loved every minute of my experience in Leonie Claire. Thank God I found you & the wonderful people that work there. Take Care everyone, Thank you for providing me with a beautiful dress, veil and jewellery and making a perfect wedding ”.

“ We had a lovely day, very emotional and very sunny. Thank you so much for all your help and for choosing such a perfect dress for my wedding. It really was lovely ”.

“ My first visit to Leonie Claire was with a friend and from the moment we walked in we were made to feel special. I tried a few gorgeous dresses on but we all knew instantly when I put "the dress" on. From then on every time I went back it was a lovely experience and I'm very happy that I got my dress from there. I loved wearing the dress and haven't bored of people telling me how beautiful it was on the day or in the photos! ”.

“ My Justin Alexander dress was by far the most amazing dress I tried on in the search for that perfect wedding, no others compared to it. I had so many comments on the day about how beautiful everyone thought it was. Thank you for all your support, you made choosing my wedding dress unforgettable ”.

“ Leonie Claire staff were all so attentive and made me feel like the most important bride on the planet whenever I visited the beautiful shop! Thank you so much for my gorgeous gorgeous dress, it was perfect and as I had dreamed it would be, plus it made me feel confident all day! I have already recommended Leonie Claire to friends and will continue to do so, Thank you! x ”.

“ I honestly could not recommend Leonie Claire Bridal strongly enough. This was the first shop I visited on my hunt for ‘The Dress’, and it was the only one I came back to. None of the others compared. The whole team made choosing my dress, veil and accessories a very special experience, and one that will remain with me forever. They went out of their way to ensure everything was just right, from coming up with ideas of how to customise my dress to tying a little bow on the inside as my ‘something blue’. Thank you, girls, for everything you did to make me feel so truly amazing on the day. I really could not have asked for anything more. ”.

“ Thank you so much for Rachel's wedding dress and bridesmaids' dresses. Wow! One very happy if tearful Mum. The dress is amazing. Thank you! Valerie McIntosh. ”.

“ We had a really super day in spite of the weather. The dresses were admired by all. Thank you for helping to make a really special day. ”.

“ I would like to send a massive thank you to you all. The experience I had picking out my dress through to the collection was brilliant. I found picking my dress one of the most stressful things - you know that all eyes will be on you. With the help of you all, you put my mind at rest and made the whole process enjoyable. I really appreciated the time spent with me, and the quality of your work, the way you transformed my dress was fabulous and the fit was perfect. Rhys was very pleased with my choice, so that is the most important thing. We got absolutely wonderful photos with the movement of the dress and with the slight breeze the veil really added a depth to the photos. I also really enjoyed the way the dress bustled up and it made dancing so much easier. I would happily recommend you to anyone. I had every faith that any work you were carrying out on the dress would be carried out professionally and timely. I did not need to worry that you would forget to keep the fabric as requested. I think this is the most important thing, knowing you can trust people to get things done without following things up, it tasks so much stress away. ”.

“ Thank you so much to Leonie and your team for all your help and energy in helping me find the perfect dress for my wedding. Looking back it was obviously a sign as Leonie Claire was the first bridal store I looked at and the stunning dress I ended up choosing was the very first dress I tried on! I ended up trying on about 40 dresses and went to a good few stores, none of which surpassed the great service and genuine care I experienced at Leonie Claire. What really made you stand out for me was how immaculate your dresses were kept, the time and care that was taken to pin you in to each and every dress, the personal interest in you and your wedding plans, putting you at ease in a non stressful environment and your helpful very honest comments when I was stuck between my favourite dresses. You were also the only store I went to that initially spent time looking through print outs of the dress styles I liked, hence once I had tried on dress number one, loved it, and was told that the dress did also come with the high neckline that I was keen on, there was no going back. I have been told that when I walked down the isle there was an audible gasp in the room, which meant that it was the perfect dress for me! ”.
