Bride of the Month - February 2012: Kate Elizabeth Thorpe

Name: Kate Elizabeth Thorpe
Wedding Date: 24th September 2011
Location: Warrington, Cheshire
Dress: 912
I bought my dress from Cheshire Bridal Wear, Goose Green, Altrincham. I would recommend Julie and her team, they gave me the best experience buying and choosing my wedding gown. They were honest, helpful and really listened to what I liked and disliked, they never rushed me or made me feel under pressure.
I chose a Benjamin Roberts gown for the fit, the design and the fabric. I didn't want to take it off! There is so much choice and the designs fit and flatter all figures. The quality of the gowns and the fabrics is second to none.
I began my search for a wedding gown 12 months before my wedding and had no idea what I wanted, what would suit my figure nor what designers to try.
After visiting several dress shops and trying on over 20 different dresses I was introduced to the Benjamin Roberts Gorgeous with Curves collection, I instantly fell in love. I have never really thought myself as curvy, though I am a typical pear shape (not too much on top but I have hips!) Then my decision was made for me, these were the dresses I was comfortable in, the dresses I felt like a princess in and the only dresses I'd tried on and didn't want to take off! After much deliberation I decided on the Gorgeous with Curves design 912 in silky white. I fell in love with the fit, the sweeping train and the intricate beading work. The dress has just a subtle sparkle, but made me feel like a million dollars. It nipped in my waist, accentuated my curves and the sweetheart neckline flattered my bust. Even now, three months after my wedding day I unzip my dress from its protective case just to spend a few minutes looking at it and remembering what an amazing day I had wearing it.

Our Brides
Name: Lea-Marie Lloyd
Wedding Date: 23rd September 2011
Location: Swansea
Dress: 2058a
Purchased From: Rowberrys, Swansea. Who I would recommend, they have a large selection of gowns and of all the bridal shops I visited they were most helpful and accommodating.
After not knowing what sort of dress I wanted and trying on quite a few, I felt like I would never find a dress. However once trying on my BR gown everything else paled in to insignificance. All I could think about was dress 2058a.
I most definitely recommend Benjamin Roberts, the dress was so comfortable, and incorporating everything I was looking for, lots of lace, tulle yet still being quite traditional. The fit of the gown was so perfect it needed no adjustments and hugged my curves perfectly.
I knew this dress was the one for me after taking my oldest friend along with me and seeing her face (and the tears). Benjamin Roberts’ gowns are worth every penny; they exude elegance and make you feel a million dollars! After having two children and no longer the size I once was this dress enhanced every curve and I received compliments all day long. When the last guests left I still didn't want to take my dress off!

Our wedding was in Deia Mallorca Saturday 6th August and it was without a doubt the most amazing day of my life and I cannot begin to tell you how beautiful I felt in my dress. I wanted nothing like the Dorothea but completely fell in love with it & it was the perfect dress for the location.

Dress: 2101
I found 2101 dress on Benjamin Roberts website and fell in love immediately. I knew it would be more than just a perfect fit. The design, material, cutting, colour are all made for a queen. Plus the little bow on the back was just giving a so feminine touch. I could not have been happier.

Wedding Date: 10th September 2011
Location: Guildford, Surrey
Dress: 930
Purchased From: Surrey Brides, Weybridge. I would recommend them for their friendly help and excellent service. They made the experience so personal and intimate for me.
Benjamin Roberts dresses were all so beautiful with such gorgeous designs - no other designers have such an amazing collection to choose from. There is a dress for every bride and every bride should feel like the princess she has always dreamed about being on that special day.
As soon as I got engaged, I searched all the Bridal websites for my perfect dress and the only designer that I kept going back to was Benjamin Roberts, as they far outshone every other designer website. I knew from that moment that it had to be a Benjamin Roberts dress. I searched for my nearest stockist and found "Surrey Brides" in Weybridge, Surrey.
The dress I wore on my special day was the first Benjamin Roberts dress I tried on and I knew it was the one for me and knew my fiancée would love it. I felt like a princess from that moment wearing it and on our wedding day I have never felt so beautiful. The compliments I had all day about the dress were amazing, especially with guests saying it was the most stunning dress they had ever seen at a wedding. I would always recommend Benjamin Roberts, for their quality, amazing fit and beautiful designs.

I was never sure what kind of dress I wanted but as soon as I put my dress on (number 2058a) I knew it was the one. I didn't even have to say anything to my bridesmaid or mum, they also knew. It fitted perfectly and the detailing on it was amazing. I felt comfortable in it all day and didn't want to take it off. All my guests including the men said how beautiful I looked in the dress which made me feel so special.

I would strongly recommend Benjamin Roberts to all other brides for the fit and quality, detail on the dresses - they are all so special.
Name: Irini Hughes
Wedding Date: 8th July 2011
Location: Thatcham, Berkshire
Dress: 951
Thank you for making my dream dress: Benjamin Roberts 951. I got married on the 8th July 2011 in Thatcham Berkshire. It was a lovely day but the best thing was wearing my dress! Every one commented on what a lovely dress it was. I was thinking of changing my dress in the evening as many people told me how uncomfortable a wedding dress can be, but mine was the most beautiful, comfortable dress ever, it fitted like a glove (I Only needed the hem taken up) I wore it all day! Thank you Benjamin Roberts for making me feel so special on my wedding day!!
Name: Keeley Smith
Wedding Date: 2nd September 2011
Location: Wakefield, West Yorkshire
Dress: Cheyenne
Purchased From: The White Dress Boutique who I would definitely recommend. You get such a personal service at every stage of your dress journey from Catherine and the team.
I always had a vision of what my dress would be like and when I saw Cheyenne I knew that it was the dress for me. The quality is outstanding and the work and detail is amazing. I recommend Benjamin Roberts dresses, they are absolutely beautiful. I actually purchased my dress 2 years before my big day. As soon as I tried it on I had the biggest smile on my face and felt so comfortable in it. I did worry that maybe getting it so early was a mistake and I would find something better but I needn't have. For me, no other dress even came close to Cheyenne. We got married in a castle and for me the dress had the perfect fairytale yet timeless balance. The detail of the lace and crystals photographed amazingly and the dress was so comfortable I even managed to climb a tree for what I call 'THE DRESS' shot!!!
Name: Ruth Fishleigh - Bride of the Month November 2011
Wedding Date: 2nd July 2011
Location: Chudleigh Knighton, Devon
Dress: 1033
Purchased From: Truly Delightful in Totnes Devon and I would not hesitate in recommending Truly Delightful to any bride to be. The shop is warm and wonderful, packed full of amazing dresses. Jenny is so passionate about the dresses she sells making you feel even more special when trying them on. Having fallen in love with my dress over a year before the wedding Jenny was more than happy for me to visit as many times as I liked just to try it on again and get that amazing feeling I felt when wearing it!
My gown was the first dress I tried on and although I tried on others it just could not be beaten. Everything about it was just perfect, the fabric was so soft and unusual and it had an incredible beaded detail on the front and back.
The corset of the dress hugged my body so wonderfully and the long train fell so beautifully it made me feel like a princess. I loved my dress so much I did not want to take it off. I could not have imagined my day without it and would do anything to be able to wear it again.
Having had the dress of my dreams I would recommend Benjamin Roberts to anyone who wants theirs! Everything about your dresses are so amazing, the fit, the style, the detail and the finish. Thank you for helping to make my dream day come true!
Everything about my dress has been out of this world. Every bride wants to feel amazing on her special day and I can honestly say that wearing my Benjamin Roberts dress did this. Being someone who is always very critical about myself and the way I look I can honestly say I have never felt as good as I did when wearing my dress.

Wedding Date: 27th August 2011
Location: Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Dress: 2258
I tried not to have any images of my perfect wedding dress in my head before the wedding - I just wanted to try on a dress and just know this is the dress I've always dreamt about - this exactly what happened when I slipped on Benjamin Roberts 2258 wedding gown. It literally took my breath away - everything about it - the design, the cut, the beading was immaculate. It was the first and last dress I tried on - I didn't even need to look further. Thank you all at Benjamin Roberts !
Name: Beatrice Mashingaidze
Wedding Date: 12th August 2011
Location: Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire/span>
Dress: 2058A
Purchased From: Bridal House, Aston Clinton who she recommends for their friendly, helpful, supportive staff and amazing stock of gowns.
I chose the Benjamin Roberts 2058a for its style, attention to detail and uniqueness and would recommend the collection because all the dresses are amazing!
I truly felt and looked like the Duchess of Salisbury as I wed my childhood sweetheart in a Benjamin Roberts 2058A. The feel and experience of that dress is priceless!
Name: Victoria Louise Cooper
Wedding Date: 20th August 2011
Location: Ramsey, Cambridgeshire
Dress: 2058A
Purchased From: Harvey's Bridal Boutique, Ramsey - I would highly recommend Harvey's, they are both amazing ladies and I loved every appointment with them. These ladies know there stuff!
I saw design 2058A in a wedding magazine when we first got engaged and fell in love with it. I looked around for others but no other dress compared to "mine", I'd already made my mind up. Benjamin Roberts' dresses are beautifully made and the detail on them is amazing. The dress was beautiful and I felt like a princess all day. Everyone commented on it and said it was stunning. I wore it with a bolero and waist length veil with crystals to complete the princess look. It was flattering and comfortable and more importantly, my husband loved it! Gorgeous dress by an amazing designer!
Name: Julie Baxter - Bride of the Month October 2011
Wedding Date: 29th May 2011
Location: Elgin, Scotland
Dress: 2051
Purchased From: Wedding Daze in Nairn, Scotland who I'd recommend - you receive such a personal service and they really listen to what you are looking for.
You only get one chance at picking the perfect dress and if you want to feel like a princess on your day, a Benjamin Roberts dress is the only option. I have never felt so special in my life and cannot count the number of times people (including males!!) said that they had never seen such a beautiful dress before - even the lady in the alterations shop which was not connected to the bridal shop I bought it from! I really felt that my dress made the most out of my figure, felt nice against my skin and just looked stunning! So much detail and time taken to make such a dress!!!
I think the dresses in the BR collection all look elegant, beautifully made and they stand out from the rest. There is something unique about each and every one of them.
I was looking for romantic, traditional, vintage, quality, elegance and when I bought Benjamin Roberts 2051 dress I got all of those things and more! Love, love, love it!

Name: Aimee Roberts
Wedding Date: 4th May 2011
Location: Swansea, Wales
Dress: Diana
Purchased From: Amy Chloe, Ammanford who I recommend!
I always knew I wanted a lace wedding dress and as soon as I tried on Diana by Enzoani, I knew I could stop searching. It was perfect, classic and contemporary with a fashion feel too, I loved the corsage around the waist, the fine straps and of course the dramatic train. The quality of the lace was amazing and it felt comfortable all day. I would love to wear it a thousand times more! I recommend Enzoani for a dress you will never forget.
Name: Debora Prebble
Wedding Date: 28 May 2010
Location: Rainham, Kent
Dress: 1051
I would recommend Benjamin Roberts because having looked at lots of dresses, as soon as I saw the 1051, my decision was made. The dresses have a unique look and they are simply beautiful. Nothing else came close to the one I chose.
A beautiful dress, beautifully made and I felt so lovely in it. To see the 1051 on the website was a 'wow!' feeling but to see it in the bridal shop was something else! An absolutely gorgeous dress and it felt wonderful to wear, words cannot totally express how it felt. The comments on the day were amazing and so many guests said how gorgeous the dress and detailing was. Thank you to Benjamin Roberts for making my day so memorable in a gown that I simply loved. When our day was over I had to leave the dress hanging up for a month, so I could simply look at it because one day to wear it just wasn't long enough. Needless to say the dress may now be stored away but our wedding photos will be an eternal memory of not only how special our day was but also how it felt to wear that dress!
Name: Göril Elisabeth Larsson
Wedding Date: 18th June 2011
Location: Uppsala, Sweden
Dress: 955
My Benjamin Robert story begins in 2007 when I worked at a bridal shop far up north in Norway. The funny thing is I never was the girl who dreamt of a fairytale wedding when I was young. But I did make a promise to myself that no matter what - i would never try on a wedding dress until the day I was to get married - if the day was to come.
"Unfortunately" one day we received a delivery from Benjamin Robert's and I was packing up dresses, preparing them for display in the store. Amongst them, wrapped in plastic, was a magic dress with the number 955.
I fell in love with this dress at first sight! I had seen a lot of nice dresses in my work, but not one that made my eyes sparkle like diamonds. Wedding plans popped up in my head and I could see flowers, cakes and could hear wedding bells - the problem was I was no where near a wedding, I was single. What was happening to me?
I managed to stay a whole week before I broke the promise I made to myself - I tried it on, secretly after I closed up the store. I was sold! I didn't want to take it off! I wanted it so badly I planned how to get the money to buy it. But I came to my senses eventually and comforted myself that it would just bring me bad luck. A new promise came to life that evening, if I ever was to get married - it had to be this dress!
The years went by, no wedding in sight, and the dress was eventually discontinued. The dress was still in the back of my mind, and I always kept an eye open - just in case I should find it somewhere. No luck though...
On 19th February 2010 fate brought me and my dear husband together and we very soon started joking about marriage, but our joke got more and more serious. It just felt so right - everything! All the pieces of the great puzzle of love was in place. In October he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him - I said yes!
I was a bit sad, since I knew I most certainly would not get married in the dress of my dreams, but I still made a search on the internet. Guess what? I got one result, my dream wedding dress, in my size, unaltered, perfect, although used once before me. I could not care less that someone had gotten married in it once before - as long as it could be mine.
The 18th of June 2011 I got my dream husband, dream wedding while wearing my dream wedding dress - everything as perfect as I ever could have dreamt of. I am forever grateful to Benjamin Robert's for lighting that wedding-dream-sparkle in me, many years ago. Thank you for that! I absolutely recommend a Benjamin Roberts wedding dress for its craftsmanship and great design!!
Name: Joanne Osborne
Wedding Date: 23rd July 2011
Location: Dulwich, London
Dress: 2057
Purchased From: Merry Hill Brides. I would highly recommend this shop because of the very friendly and helpful staff. They seem really passionate about finding the perfect dress. I really felt at home choosing a dress here and the ladies picked out my dress knowing that it would suit me perfectly.
Every dress I was drawn to in bridal magazines turned out to be a Benjamin Roberts dress, so I knew I needed a Benjamin Roberts stockist. I find the dresses exquisite, ornate and the detail is the key - I love the detail! I'm really pleased that I ended up with the designer that I had loved in the magazines.
My Benjamin Roberts dress was stunning. The bridal boutique knew that it would flatter my figure and I felt like a goddess whilst wearing it! The combination of the mermaid style and the shape of the bust, gave a great sexy womanly shape, but then the beautiful train added tradition. The train was my favourite part - the detail was gorgeous and the organza overlay made my dress unique. Every dress I liked was a Benjamin Roberts dress, but this dress topped them all easily. I never imagined I'd find a dress that would suit me this well and make me feel so confident and beautiful!
I found the dress within the first day of looking and I'm really thankful to the lady who handed it to me. My mum and I knew the search was over. We got married in the Manor House at Puckrup Hall, Hilton, Tewkesbury. The vintage style dress suited this venue very well and I did feel like Lady of the Manor! Best day of my life and best dress in my life. Thank you Benjamin Roberts!!
I would definitely recommend Benjamin Roberts. The dresses are very flattering and I think they are quite unique from other designers.
Name: Michelle Edlin
Wedding Date: 18th June 2011
Location: Plymouth
Dress: 2058
Purchased From: Aphrodite who I'd recommend - by far the best shop near Plymouth in terms of friendly, helpful staff , good service and great selection.
I visited several shops in Plymouth looking for dresses and none of them stocked the range and quality of dresses that Aphrodite did. Also the staff were by a long way the most helpful. My wedding was approximately 6 months away and the other shops didn't seem interested. The Benjamin Roberts dresses were beautiful and also offered great value for money compared to other dresses. The dress also arrived earlier than expected which was very reassuring. The dress itself (2058) was absolutely stunning and everyone commented how beautiful it was, I can't recall seeing another wedding dress this lovely - it looked far more expensive than it actually was and looked amazing in all of the photos too. I would certainly recommend this brand to other people for great value and stunning dresses.
Name: Wendy Barr
Wedding Date: 6th August 2011
Location: Lytham St Annes, Lancashire
Dress: 2161
Purchased From: Our lucky competition winner, Wendy, won her Benjamin Roberts dress in a competition with confetti.co.uk. We love the choice she made with Ambience Bridal, Garstang, finding the dress of her dreams for her big day! Wendy recommends Ambience Bridal for their amazing staff. Congratulations Wendy - on both your win and wonderful wedding!!
I want to say a massive thank you to you. My dress was amazing, everyone kept saying I looked stunning and I felt like a princess! Thank you for giving me the chance to wear my dream dress!
Name: Rebecca Beaumont - Bride of the Month, September 2011
Wedding Date: 29th May 2011
Location: Halesowen, England
Dress: 1020
Purchased From: Emma Hartley, Colne. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for their dream dress! The girls here were so helpful and gave me the time I needed to make sure I chose the perfect dress for the big day. They knew what they were talking about and I travelled all the way from Birmingham as they were so fantastic!
The dress was beautiful! I always said I wanted it to be a plain dress with no bling. But as soon as I put this dress on I fell in love with it. It had crystals in all the right places and did not look too much. It was sophisticated and extremely flattering. I felt like a princess and the material was beautiful. Benjamin Roberts is truly a beautiful designer!
When my mum cried on putting 1020 by Benjamin Roberts on, I knew this was the one. It was made for me. I felt like gorgeous on my wedding day and everyone thought the dress was stunning.
I never had any doubts that this was my dress, with beautiful crystals and made of sumptuous silk it was the dress I had always dreamed of. And to see my husbands eyes as I walked down the aisle filled with such awe, it had a lot to do with the dress. Thank you so much for making my dreams to come true.

Name: Jenny Lyddon
Wedding Date: 7th April 2011
Location: Newbiggin-By-The-Sea, Northumberland
Dress: 2077
Purchased From: A Bride To Bee who I would recommend as they were so efficient in answering my queries and offering support and advice.
I fell in love with the Benjamin Roberts style and knew that I had to have one to make me feel like a princess on my special day, and that is exactly what my 2077 did. I'd recommend Benjamin Roberts - the way my dress made me feel was amazing. All of the dresses are beautifully styled and of amazing quality!
From the first moment I set my eyes on the 2077, I knew that I had to have it. I tried on a LOT of other dresses and none of them even vaguely matched up to this one. I've always dreamt of feeling like a princess on my special day, and that is exactly what it did. It was the most amazing day of my life and its all thanks to my beautiful dress. Thank you Benjamin Roberts!
Name: Kathy Hanretty
Wedding Date: 26th May 2011
Location: Nottinghamshire, England
Dress: 2214
Purchased From: 2 have & 2 hold, Kiddiminster
After trying on lots of dresses at the NEC National Wedding show, it was the only one that made me feel like the princess I wanted to be on my wedding day. Not only that, but the fit and design was so sexy that I just knew my hubby to be would not be disappointed!
Every bride wants her day to be perfect and in my head, my day had been planned to perfection down to the last table crystal! However no one can control Mother nature and on the day, the heavens opened and the weather turned out to be cold, windy, wet and generally awful!! Resigned to the fact that there was nothing I could do, I had to leave it to my fantastic photographers and the endurance of my Benjamin Roberts dress to provide me with the most fantastic memories of an otherwise perfect day. All of our guests were commenting on what a beautiful dress I had but all I could worry about was how trashed it was about to get as it had started raining just as we left for church. The end result was, that apart from a few dirty marks on the under skirt, under the hem and some creases where I was holding it up off the floor all day, the dress looked as good when we left the party as it did when I put it on! Thank you for supplying my fairytale dress - one which I know will forever look beautiful in my photographs.
I'd most definitely recommence Benjamin Roberts gowns. The quality of the dress was amazing and such great value for money. I tried dresses on for twice the price that didn't feel nearly as luxurious as my Benjamin Roberts gown.

Dress: 908
Our magic wedding date 08.08.08 certainly matched my magic Benjamin Robert wedding dress no. 908!

Your wedding dresses absolutely are the most amazing dresses one can ever imagine - Gorgeous fabric & stunning designs
Name: Cher Nadine Gale
Wedding Date: 14th May 2011
Location: Gwynedd, Wales
Dress: 2058
Purchased From: Wedding Belles, Llandudno. The staff are totally amazing - nothing is too much trouble, they are friendly, helpful and deliver their service with the personal touch.
I had a budget to which I was trying dresses that fell into it. That was until my daughter and my mother, who had come to the shop with me, asked if I could try on one of the dresses in the window - 2058. The lady pointed out it wasn't in my budget but I tried it on to humour my mum and please my daughter, and I never looked back! I got that silly grin on your face and did the swishy thing you do when you know you have found THE dress. I knew this was the dress I had to marry my now husband in but once again I humoured my mum and trailed around several more shops trying numerous dresses. Absolutely nothing came close to 2058. The dress was purchased and every time I went for a fitting I silly grinned and swooshy shwooshied. I even offered to be a live mannequin in the dress but the lovely ladies at Wedding Belles declined. I felt like a superstar on our wedding day and it was 2058 that transformed me into one! I chose this dress because as soon as I put it on I felt transformed, it was perfect in every way; an exquisite, beautiful dress that fit every inch of me.
Name: Barbara Beatrix Buergin-Glauser
Wedding Date: 3rd June 2011
Location: Tschingel-Switzerland
Dress: 2058
Our civil marriage took place at the Grand Hotel "Giessbach" with its beautiful celebrities- the seven waterfalls above the deep-blue lake of Brienz-Switzerland. I felt the mystic of this place, heard the rush of the falls and plunged into a dream, but emerged from it perceiving admiring glances at my wonderful wedding dress designed by Benjamin Roberts.
I would highly recommend Benjamin Roberts to all brides who want their day to be perfect. The dress fitted like a glove, is made of the most precious materials and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. The styles of the dresses are incomparable to those of other designers. We were all in high spirits and we shall never forget That Day.

Name: Carrie-Anne Sprenger - Bride of the Month August 2011
Wedding Date: 21st May 2011
Location: Barnstaple N.Devon
Dress: 2161
Purchased From: Frilly Frocks, Barnstaple. This bridal shop really is beautiful from the front door to many beautiful dresses all shapes colours and sizes and the dressing room is just fabulous. Fiona also has a great eye for great dresses and was extremely helpful and honest.
I think what made me fall in love with Benjamin Roberts 2161 is the fabrics you guys work with. The fabrics are just to die for, whether its lace or silk; just top quality. I just fell in love with my dress as there was so many beautiful things about it! The huge bow on my lower back, the heart neck line with white shell detailing and the flowers on my hip with pearls and white stones in them. Oh and also the way the dress finished on the floor.
To see more of Carrie-Anne's special day visit hitched.co.uk
My dress was truly fabulous - the final details were all finished to perfection, all the beading was perfect!! I also ordered some of my dress fabric from you guys to make some amazing sashes for my bridesmaid dresses so they could have the same big bow as me on their backs - it looked amazing, really finished off their dresses! Your service was just excellent.
I had become completely stuck looking for a dress, and decided to start from scratch. I went in and said I wanted to try straight line dresses, princess dresses, short dresses, the lot. Fi in Frilly Frocks said, "Well, can you please try this on? It's just come in and I have not seen any one in it!" - it was stunning. I stood there in the window with the train running into half the shop, it was massive. As soon as I'd seen the bow I loved it! I tried it on and it fitted like a glove, was the right length & my waist looked tiny. I just couldn't stop smiling when she was strapping me in and I squealed with excitement.
My bridesmaids loved it and said "That's the one, do not try any more!" I could not try anymore. I could not get this one out of my mind!! I thought it would be heavy but it was so light to wear, everything about it was perfect. I said all along I did not want loads of bling, so the white stones on the bodice were perfect.
We were getting married in a little bistro on Saunton Sands Beach and were going for the vintage country garden feel. Everything was just perfect and I felt like a million dollars! It went down a real treat everyone loved the dress. I said I would keep my dress forever, but I do not know now if I can keep it in a box forever and it not be worn again! I feel the dress should be out on show and being loved by as many people as possible as it really is an incredible dress! Thank you once again Benjamin Roberts and your team!

Purchased From: Abbey Brides of Sherborne who I'd recommend - very flexible service, good seamstress, excellent extras, nice location.
I saw 2206 in Ice Blue at the Modern Bride Wedding Show in London and fell in love with it straight away. In addition, the Benjamin Roberts stand was the friendliest stand at the whole showAs I got married by the sea in Cornwall, the colour and the slightly mermaidy shape of the dress complimented the scenery and setting very well. On my wedding day everyone kept telling me how beautiful I looked and how unique my dress was. Apart from that it was incredibly comfortable to wear.

Purchased From: Elizabeth of York
I found my dress on the Benjamin Roberts website and was so convinced it would be the perfect dress for me, I paid a dress shop to order in a sample! It was a bit of a risk, but I was right and it was absolutely perfect, it stood head and shoulders above the other dresses I tried and I loved that it is quite unusual. I really felt a million dollars in it and I received the most wonderful compliments on our big day. I want to do it all over again just so I can wear my gorgeous dress!
Name: Sarah Aukett
Wedding Date: 5 March 2011
Location: London
Dress: 2104
Purchased From: Wedded Bliss, Hampshire who I'd recommend as their approach was very personal and warm.
We got married on 5 March 2011 at Gaynes Park in Epping. I was looking for a mermaid shape elegant dress that would compliment our 'early spring' theme and country venue.
The dress was the 3rd I had tried on, at Wedded Bliss in Hampshire. When I thought of our wedding day I always imagined myself wearing this dress, so after endless trips around London, I knew it was the one.
The structure and corset of the dress was simply stunning, and it really felt the dress took care of you on the day, and made you look your very best. It also fitted in wonderfully with our early spring theme.
Thank you so much to Wedded Bliss in Hampshire, and of course to Benjamin Roberts!

I saw the Benjamin Roberts collection in Chester Bridal Gallery, I loved the quality and the materials, I tried on quite a few, but I knew that dress 1071 was the one for me as soon as I put it on! It was stunning. I would recommend Benjamin Roberts, the dresses just look amazing.

Purchased From: Bridal Emporium, Exeter who I'd recommend for their attention to detail.
I felt amazing in my Benjamin Roberts gown. So many people commented on the dress. It was a modern cut, however it still had a very classical look. I loved my Benjamin Roberts gown, and have never felt so special in a dress. I'd recommend Benjamin Roberts as there are dresses to fit all shapes, with an elegant style. I chose mine for the modern but classy look.

Wedding Date: 2nd October 2010
Location: Lewes, England
Dress: 5101
Purchased From: White Dresses & Tiaras, Ifield, Crawley, West Sussex. I would definitely recommend this shop. The service was top notch, the store was brilliantly laid out with loads of space and beautiful dressing rooms. I could not fault the shop at all.
My beautiful Tia dress was the first wedding dress I'd ever put on, and ended up being the one I got married in. I loved it from the moment I saw it, it was a fairly big gown but the detailing was understated and sophisticated, completely beautiful. I thought I'd never be able to find a dress that would truly make me feel like a princess, but my dress definitely did. It was so beautifully made, the corseting was perfect and gave me the support I needed, the dress was totally comfortable to wear but looked so elegant and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Everyone commented on how beautiful it was - it was without doubt my dream dress.
I would definitely recommend Benjamin Roberts - my dress was perfect and so beautifully made, the detailing was exquisite and even though my dress had a relatively large skirt and quite a lot of netting underneath, I felt comfortable in it for the whole of my wedding day. I didn't want to take it off!!See more of Melissa's special day on hitched.co.uk!

I already have recommended Benjamin Robers to friends due to the comfort of the gown and the styling. I felt like a princess in my Tia 5056 gown. Such a beautiful dress and really showed off my 3 stone weight loss in all the right places. It was beautifully made, fit and made me feel fab!

I was overwhelmed when I tried your dress and fell in love with it straight away. The fit was fantastic and the material was beautiful .So many people said it was the best wedding gown they had ever seen. The day was incredible and the dress made it even better.
I would definitely recommend Benjamin Roberts to another bride and in fact I have sent details of your website to a few friends already.
Your dresses are unique and flattering in design. My husband saw the dress only on the wedding day and he said that it was the perfect dress on the perfect woman - "THE PERFECT MATCH"! Thank you so much for creating a dress that made me feel so amazing like a "PRINCESS" on my most special day.

Name: Melissa Crozier
Wedding Date: 9th September 2009
Location: Belfast, Northern Ireland
Dress: Carmen (Enzoani)
Purchased From: Naomi Bridal, Ballynahinch
I was inspired by Benjamin Roberts after viewing the catwalk collection for Enzoani on the web.
I tried on many, many dresses, both in Australia and Northern Ireland and after trying on Carmen by Enzoani, nothing else compared to this dress and I just had to have it.
My Carmen couture dress was fabulously figure hugging, made with luxurious French taffeta and and finished with exquisite crystal and beading detail.
Name: Mary Collins
Wedding Date: 5th April 2008
Location: Leisure Bay, South Africa. Currently living in Wimbledon, UK
Dress: Annette (Enzoani)
Purchased From: Bride & Joy, Milton Keynes who I'd recommend -the ladies in Bride & Joy cannot be comparable to the wedding shops of Bond Street! Their personal service and genuine care was second to none. Every time I went someone's eyes would well up with tears at the sight of me in one of your dresses. That to me was so special as they see brides every day. They went out their way to help me pack my dress (45min!) so that it would travel safely and securely to South Africa
It was love at first sight. I had tried on over 25 dresses and the minute I put Annette on I knew it was the one. Two of my best friends were with me, one was in tears instantly and the other just said, "You having THE moment aren't you". I wanted my dress to be "different", and what made this dress stand out from all the others, was the shoulder strap on only one shoulder which I felt added a Grecian elegance to it, and made it strikingly different to many of the strapless dresses that are favoured today. I loved how the bodice of the dress was corseted and very fitted down to my hips, with a "rouged" material effect, before flaring out to the ground. This really highlighted the "hour-glass" effect in my waist which I was going for. What was also exquisitely unique was the way the material at the front of the dress was gathered up in a stunning tulle effect, which showed off various layers of netting, and most importantly allowed me to glimpse one of my beautiful silver, diamante shoes - with ever step I took!
The quality and originality of your dresses are just incredible. It was the first time I felt like I had found my dream dress. The 'cuts' are so flattering and everything about your dresses is exquisite

Location: West Midlands, UK and Thessaloniki, Greece
Dress: 2058a
Purchased From: Bellissima Weddings, Essex who I'd recommend without hesitation. The service was excellent, the staff polite and helpful, the shop itself wonderful. What a brilliant experience this was!
I fell in love with the dress the minute I saw it. None of the other gowns I tried on could even begin to compare with it.. All of the Benjamin Roberts gowns can be elegant, simple and classic, without unnecessary excess. The perfect wedding gowns in my opinion.
I had been looking for the 'perfect' dress for several weeks. I'd go into various websites, both of stores and designers, and browse their lists. This dress was the first one I saw and feel completely in love with, and the one that both my mother and my then future husband loved. So I went to the shop with a list of dressed I wanted to try on, this one being at the top of the list. I tried about thirteen dresses on (I had an hour, and it was fun!), but none of the rest could compare. I fell in love with it the minute I saw it.. It was exactly what I'd been looking for, my style, my taste, my dream dress. Thank you!

Wedding Date: 14th October 2007
Location: Kettering, Northants
Dress: 930
Purchased From: Purchased from: Courtyard Bridal Wear, who I'd recommend - they were really enthusiastic and helped me 100% of the way, even though I only got to try the dress on once because I live overseas.
I saw one of the Benjamin Roberts dresses advertised on www.confetti.co.uk and really liked the cut. After seeing the style of the dress that I liked I went to the Ben Roberts website. It was on this site that I saw "the one". Fate had a major role in buying this dress; I come from a very small town called Kettering but currently live in Johannesburg, but on a trip home to visit my parents I saw the shop in my home town, and low and behold my dress was literally being delivered as I walked through the shop door. It was meant to be, I actually hugged the delivery man!
I would definitely recommend Benjamin Roberts, the designs are so elegant and completely timeless, and whilst not cheap (and lets face who wants cheap on their wedding day) Benjamin Roberts dresses are not as expensive as you would imagine, particularly when considering the quality and attention to detail in the dress.

Dress: 930
Purchased From: Opus Couture - recommended for their fantastic personal service! They will bend over backwards and nothing is too much trouble, and great fun which made the whole wedding dress shopping so easy. They hand beaded my full length veil which is something I will always treasure.
No other designer could match the striking cuts, fabrics and flattering designs than Benjamin Roberts.
I would recommend Benjamin Roberts too every bride, quality and affordable so every girl can have their dream dress.
My wedding was the best day ever, we got married at a Scottish castle lit with candles and then a country house afterwards for dinner and dancing. I fell in love with the 930 dress even before I got engaged and it was the only one I ever tried on two years before my wedding and I knew nothing would ever match it.

Purchased From: Dobinsons who I'd recommend as they know what works!
The detail in the dresses and the feel of the fabrics are fantastic, not to mention they fit like a glove!
I had only just started the search for 'the one' and was in my second shop. I spoke to the shop's owner and told her my thoughts and she brought me out 3 Benjamin Roberts dresses, all of which were perfect. This was the third and final dress I tried in the shop and when I looked at the tears in my mum's eyes and the huge smile on my sister'sface I just knew it was 'the one'. It made me feel like a princess, in fact I used every excuse to go back and try it on time and time again as I had over a year to wait till the wedding itself. The feeling I had on the day of my wedding was the same as the first time I tried it on.
Thank you for making me feel so perfect on my special day! I just want to wear it again and again now!

The first time I saw my wedding gown, I could only see a part of the dress, and I already knew it was THE ONE. Once I tried it on it really made me feel fabulous! I didn't want to try any other dresses anymore, because I totally fell in love with this one.
I'd recommend Benjamin Roberts gowns to other brides! I've never felt so pretty as I did on our wedding day. Every single person loved my wedding gown, which made me feel really special.
Thank you very much for making me feel like the most beautiful woman on earth for one day. I've never felt so pretty and admired before...

Location: Newbury, Berkshire, UK
Dress: 2058A
Purchased From: Cinders in Devizes. I would definitely recommend this shop to any other brides. Jan was amazing, her attitude is friendly, professional and I saw her as a fairy godmother! I couldn't have asked for a better experience when buying THE most important dress of your life. She gave me 3 hours to try on dresses, she gave honest opinions and feedback and her customer service is exceptional. She really goes the extra mile and I cannot rate her enough.
Benjamin Roberts dresses are amazing, they are made so well, they flatter you and yet are so comfortable. The minute I put mine on I knew it was the one, it literally took my breath away and I knew in that instant there was no other contender.
I had to consider a dress that would literally travel the world, look amazing on and still make me feel a million dollars (but not cost a million dollars) and mine ticked all the boxes. Keeping the look and design of my dress a secret was actually the hardest thing I've had to do because I LOVE my dress so much I wanted to share just how amazing it is. I couldn't wait for my husband to see me!When I walked down the aisle, I knew I looked amazing and everyone who has seen my pictures have told me how stunning and divine my dress is. My wedding date was 24th February 2011 in Sydney, Australia. I am just back from our honeymoon. I am also having a wedding blessing in the UK on Saturday 30th April -the day after the Royal Wedding. I am so lucky because I get to wear it all over again for my UK blessing and I just can't wait to put it back on!

Purchased From: Gypsophila, Rawtenstall who I'd definitely recommend. Sara went out of her way to get what I wanted and was always helpful and pleasant.
I saw the collection on the web and wanted a green or lilac dress and Benjamin Roberts had THE perfect dress, all their dresses are beautiful! Benjamin Roberts dresses make you look and feel like a princess. The fit is amazing with the integral corset, the best fitted dresses I have seen and so beautifully made in fabulous fabrics. The magic is in the detail!
I bought my Benjamin Roberts dress 1054 in lilac 18 months before my wedding because I knew it was THE dress. I looked at many more over the next 18 months knowing I would not see one any more beautiful and I was right, the reception venue owners said they had never seen a more beautiful dress and they had seen hundreds! I wore the dress with the Evelyn jacket and am so grateful to Sara at Gypsophila for helping me to get it as at one point I feared I would not be able to but she came through and thank you to all at Benjamin Roberts for helping me achieve my fairytale gown.

I had originally tried on a different dress but the fit wasnt right. Then one of the women in the shop suggested Tia 3903 and I fell in love! I absolutely would recommend Benjamin Roberts! The dresses are lovely and are of such high quality. They really turn heads when you walk in a room!
I would just like to say thank you for creating such a beautiful dress! This was the first thing I got when I was planning my wedding - I had it booked 2 years in advance as I was absolutely sure this was the one! Everyone loved it and kept saying how gorgeous it was. Thanks again! xxx

Dress: 958
Purchased From: Ambience Bridal, Garstang who I'd recommend as they're so helpful and friendly. and make you feel special.
I loved the dress the first time I saw it, I went home and couldn't stop thinking about it. When I got to my appointment I tried a few other dresses on first but as soon as I put number 958 on I knew it was the perfect dress for the biggest day of my life!!
I would recommend Benjamin Roberts; the dresses are so well made. The corsets inside helped keep my dress in place and made it comfortable to wear all day. The designs are classic but with stunning individual details.
Mark and I got engaged in February 2008. I went to look at dresses with my friend that was getting married that August. As soon as I saw my dress I knew it was exactly what I would want. All the way home I kept saying 'wow I love that dress I can't stop thinking about it!'. Then a couple of months later I went and tried it on, I ordered it straight away. Ambience were fantastic, as it was still 2yrs until my wedding they let me pay off the dress in monthly instalments.
On the day everyone commented on how amazing my dress was and how different it was. I had stunning puffball bridesmaids dress and a heart shaped bouquet to reflect the sweetheart neckline. Also had a handmade tiara that included white pearls and crystals to pick out the details on the dress. As a young girl you always told that your wedding day is the one day you get to feel like a princess, my dress made that dream come true for me.

My best friend is getting married in November 2011 and we will definitely be returning back to Bellissma Weddings.
Every wedding dress I was looking at in magazines etc was Benjamin Roberts, because they just looked so beautiful and elegant.

I wanted a beautiful wedding gown WHITE AND BRILLIANT, but sexy and romantic at the same time! I was undecided between three dresses, all from Benjamin Roberts! He can do a different dress to satisfy different styles, different women, but every dress has a magic touch, have a personality! It's something I can't explain, you have to see, dress and feel! I tried three or four dresses and the wedding gown I chose was the first I was trying, and I feel: THIS IS THE ONE!

Dress: 930
Purchased From: London Bride
I got married in a Benjamin Roberts 930 dress. It was the second dress I tried on at London Bride and Groom in London and the favourite gown of one of the shop assistants. I tried on many other dresses as brides-to-be do, but nothing ever felt as glamorous and flattering as the 930. My husband told me on our wedding day that he had pictured me in many styles but he never visualised such an amazing dress. So thank you for helping to make my wedding day so perfect… The dress looked and fitted like a dream and I shall be taking it out of storage every now and then to reminisce and admire its wow factor! :)

Dress: Cambridge
Purchased From: The Wedding Shop - Alderley Edge. I would definitely recommend this shop. I was given excellent service and guidance choosing my gown, the staff was very knowledgeable and knew what would suit me, it was a great pleasure to return for fittings.
I chose Benjamin Roberts because of the quality, shape of the gown and excellent design and details.The quality of my gown was outstanding, and there is a range to suit every brides style. My wedding dress was the very last dress I tried on and I couldn't bear to take it off when it was time to leave the shop! there was no debating that it was my favourite choice! I knew that I wanted a mermaid style and the shop assistant had been saving it as she knew it would be my favourite - I can't imagine wearing another gown. I am now organising a trash the dress/rock the frock shoot for an excuse to wear it again!

Location: Bolton, UK
Dress: 966
Purchased From: Solitaire Wedding Centre, Bolton who I'd recommend as the staff were friendly, helpful and allowed you spend as much time in the shop (and the dress!) as you wished.
I first saw the dress in the window of the shop as I was driving past and made an appointment for the same day to try it on. As soon as I put it on I knew it was 'THE dress' and everything I wanted in a wedding dress. I didn't want to take it off!
I had been looking for my dress for months and had tried on many styles. From this I knew what I wanted but couldn't find it, then as I was driving past Solitaire, it caught my eye in the shop window. I made an appointment to go the same day and knew straight away it was 'the one'. I think I spend an hour in the shop with it on!
It made me feel like a princess, and as we got married in a castle in Krakow, Poland it really was like a fairytale wedding.
I would recommend Benjamin Roberts. The quality and designs are amazing and really make you feel special.

After fully submerging the dress in salt water and sand it came out with not a thread torn or a crystal unstitched, showing true quality. I would say to any Bride that wants a well made and beautifully designed gown to look no further than Benjamin Roberts.

My wedding day was just like a fairytale and cannot imagine any other dress that could make me feel like a princess worthy of this tale! In my mind that perfect day is associated with my dress 911.

Name: Tracey Walker
Wedding Date: 7th August 2010
Dress: 2058
Purchased From: Losners who I’d recommend for their second to none customer service.
Steven and I met in March 2009. Steven proposed on the 16th November 2009 in The London Eye when it had reached the very top. We set the date and got married on the 7th August 2010. During the time between getting engaged the hunt for the special dress began. At my first appointment at a bridal shop, we’d decided to have 9 bridesmaids so knew it was going to be a task to dress them all, I contacted the shop to make sure it was ok to bring along the bridesmaids to get an idea of what kinds of dresses and colours there were to choose from and was told “The more the merrier” on arrival I was told that the wedding party was too big and that she could not possibly have this many people in the shop. I left the shop feeling very sad that the first wedding appointment was a disaster. Luckily I had a second appointment booked with Brides By Losners. On arrival I was greeted by the manager/owner who made us all feel at ease, their customer service is second to none, the bridal assistant possessed a knowledgeable and professional manner at all times. I tried on a number of dresses and although I thought I had found THE DRESS ... I still felt like something was missing. After scanning the websites I came across Benjamin Roberts and instantly knew that 2058A was the very next dress I had to try on. I was really excited on the morning of the appointment and arrived there extra early! The dress was hung up ready and waiting for me. The assistant helped me into it and instantly I knew this was THE DRESS for me. I felt like a princess, great design, lots of layers very intricate and delicate embroidery I love it! On my wedding day I felt marvellous and my husband loved it too. He wasn’t a fan of big dresses but he has now changed his mind. My whole experience getting married from my first visit to Brides by Losners to falling on to the bed at The Marriott hotel has been amazing!! Cannot believe I picked a fabulous Bridal shop and a fabulous designer. Thank-you so much for making our day so special. x

Location: Cambridge
Dress: 1002
Purchased From: Elderberry Brides – who I’d recommend for their friendly staff who make you feel at home.
Like most girls, my dream dress search started long before I was even engaged. I always knew I wanted something soft but with a traditional bride feel. I found the Benjamin Roberts collection seemed to fit most of the things I was looking for. The dresses were feminine and subtle with a beauty and elegance that some dress designers seem to miss. The attention to the detailing is simply stunning. My dress 1002 was the first dress I tried on and as soon as I had it on I knew it was all of the things I had been looking for since I started my long search, I tried on lots of other styles but nothing fitted me like this dress. On the wedding day I felt amazing, Rob (my husband) was totally in awe of the dress, he loved the softness and subtleness of the dress as it didn’t overshadow his bride. It was a perfect day and if I was to do it all again, I wouldn’t change a thing! I’d recommend Benjamin Roberts dresses for making you feel like a princess!

Purchased From: Opus Couture who I’d recommend for their friendly, excellent service & good value.
I got married to my wonderful husband Chris at Balbirnie House Hotel in Fife. I just wanted to tell you how much I loved my Benjamin Roberts 930 dress. I tried on dozens of dresses and this one felt like it was made for me. It had already caught my eye when I saw it online months before I ever tried on any dresses. I am blessed with an hourglass figure and this dress showed it off beautifully and was incredibly flattering. The fabric was divine and the long train sat beautifully. The bodice and hips were detailed with intricate embroidery and crystals which sparkled in the light. My husband thought I looked fantastic and I have never ever felt so good about myself! Your gowns are so beautiful and comfortable to wear, I managed to dance all night long in mine! I have been recommending your dresses to all my friends who are engaged. I'm just so sad I'll never wear mine again!

Dress: 1002
Purchased From: Chester Bridal Gallery – who I’d recommend as Lindsay and all of her team were so helpful.
I immediately fell in love with the dress. The embroidery work was beautiful. The dress was elegant and I felt beautiful wearing it. I would absolutely recommend Benjamin Roberts because the dresses are so unique and each one a magnificent work of craftsmanship. I purchased my Benjamin Roberts gown at the same store that my mum and aunt had purchased their wedding gowns over 30 years ago. Having my mum be from Wales and having this family legacy, I wanted a piece of my British heritage with me on my wedding day in the United States. I also knew purchasing my dress in Britain would mean that not many brides in the US would be wearing my dress which was very special. The Chester Bridal Gallery worked closely with the designer to ensure my dress was ready in time for my mum to hand carry it back to the US for my wedding. Thank you so much for my beautiful dress and making it such a perfect day.

I had the best day and felt a million dollars all day, receiving many compliments. The shop I bought the dress from, The Wedding Studio, were superb and they helped me so much in choosing the right dress for me.

Location: Hilperton, Wiltshire
Dress: 930
Purchased From: Confetti Bridal Centre – recommended for their good service.
This dress caught my eye because of the classic feminine style of the dress, which creates a beautiful hourglass shape that complements the groom perfectly and really makes the most of the bride’s figure. The details such as sequins, beading and delicate buttons are absolutely stunning, and the quality of the fabric and tailoring was leagues ahead of other dresses I had tried on. The long train was another feature and everybody said how beautiful the dress was. I really felt as if this dress had been designed by a team that appreciate and want to celebrate the female form. I have recommended Benjamin Roberts to all my friends who are getting married, due to the unbeatable mix of beautiful flattering designs, quality and affordability. Thanks Benjamin Roberts!

Name: Bernice Garner
Wedding Date: 4th June 2010
Location: Essex
Dress: 2063
Purchased From: Bellissima who I’d recommend for being the nicest bunch of girls you’ll ever meet in a bridal shop!
I found my dress in the first shop I went to, and, as they say, you know when it’s the one! Surprised all my friends (and husband!) who were convinced my dress would be straight and strapless! My dress was beautifully made, just gorgeous! I loved wearing my dress and had the most perfect day.

Location: Exeter, Devon
Dress: 951
Purchased From: The Bridal Emporium who I’d recommend for their friendly, welcoming staff.
I am so pleased with my choice of Benjamin Roberts dress. I knew the moment I tried it on that it was the dress for me, nothing else I tried even compared. I loved every minute of wearing it on our wedding day and had lots of compliments. I only wish I had another excuse to wear it again!
I would definitely recommend your dresses to another bride. The quality is fantastic, it felt so well made and fitted me wonderfully. I felt a million dollars wearing it.
Name: Donna Wakeham
Wedding Date: 2nd July 2010
Location: Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland
Dress: Dior
Purchased From: Wish who I’d recommend for their lovely girls who give honest advice.
I would recommend your dresses without a doubt - the dresses all have something a little different to most designers & have the wow factor that a lot of other dresses didn’t have, the fact that they can also be made in a special length (I’m only 4ft 11) was a big bonus and the quality and fit are amazing.
I wore Dior for my wedding in Cyprus. I tried on six dresses from the collection & found it so hard to choose as they were all gorgeous, in the end I chose Dior as I hadn't seen another dress like it. The quality of the dress is superb and the fit is amazing. Thank you so much for making my perfect dress xx
Name: Emma Jean Leivers
Location: Malvern, Worcestershire
Dress: 1051
Purchased From: Gatehouse Brides – who I’d recommend for their wide range of styles and colours, great service & very welcoming atmosphere.
We got married at the Curradine Barns and I wanted a very earthy feel to our wedding with a little 1950's glamour and sparkle. I brought my dress from Gatehouse Brides in Worcester, the last shop I visited and the last dress I tried on. The moment I saw this dress I knew it was the one I was going to buy. It is so beautiful and romantic, yet still classy. The fitting was amazing, and it hung beautifully... I couldn't stop looking at it in the shop. I chose the champagne colouring as it was so soft and was a great contrast against the opal pearls. I knew that I didn't want a white wedding dress, and this was just different enough for me. I didn't have any issues throughout the day, no pulling it up or dragging, it followed me! I danced away all night in it! Perfect! It felt so comfortable and I had a hard time taking it off at the end of the day, it was a sad moment!!
Thank you Benjamin Roberts for fulfilling my vision and making my Wedding Day so memorable.

We married in the Caribbean, I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to have a big dress because of the heat – however, my Brie dress kept me cool, I felt a million dollars in my dress and I still can’t stop myself from looking at its amazing detail and stunning fabric! It is so flattering as it really nips in the waist and gives an hourglass look, I was surprised at how easy it was to put on – not a moment of flustering or panic just a simple zip with buttons that hid the zip, thank you for my perfect dress and for helping in making my day so memorable!

Purchased From: Pleser – recommended for their remarkable service and for making me feel very special and excited to become a bride.
I first spotted my wedding gown at the National Wedding Show in Earl's court London where it had been nominated for best dress of the year. I fell in love with it immediately because of how the embroidery detail had such wonderful sparkle to it, much more so than other dresses I had previously seen. After the show I contacted my local Benjamin Roberts stockists and asked them to order me the dress and found that it was perfect for me when it arrived! Lots of my guests really admired it on the day and I have recommended Benjamin Roberts as a stockist for the quality and design or the dresses to several of my friends who are due to get married in the near future.

Location: Sutton, Surrey
Dress: 912
Purchased From: Go Bridal, Tunbridge Wells – recommended for their friendly staff who gave good, honest, advice.
I was inspired by Benjamin Roberts gowns from promotions & features in wedding magazines, I then saw a gorgeous Benjamin Roberts gown in a magazine and looked up a stockist near me. It was the first one I tried on and I feel in love it there and then. I tried on another five dresses but this was the only one that I didn’t want to take off! The dress arrived on time and was exceptionally well made – it fitted perfectly and was extremely comfortable.
The fabric was so luxurious I felt like a princess and the sequins and pearls scattered over the dress added a sense of glamour, ever since I was a little girl I had always said that my wedding dress would be big and beautiful – my dress did not let me down! I was lucky enough to be able to wear it twice as we had a second ceremony and reception in France as my husband is French and not every one was able to make it to the UK. I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the quality and simply stunning workmanship – my dress is such a classic yet timeless design that hopefully my daughter will one day want to wear.

Location: Doncaster
Dress: 966
My wedding dress was such an exquisite design and, crucially, such a perfect fit (owing to the in-built corset) that many of my guests assumed it was an opulent, bespoke gown made just for me. My figure was enhanced fabulously -striking the perfect balance between elegance and beauty that all brides aspire to on their wedding day. It set the tone for the most perfect day – thank you.
I would most definitely recommend Benjamin Roberts gowns to others - the inner corset enhanced my figure to almost perfect proportions and was complimented as being the most beautiful dress people had ever seen (including the manager of our reception venue!)
