Brides of Liverpool

Pronuptia is located in Liverpool City centre’s busy Williamson square, adjacent to the queens square bus station and close to the train stations.
When a friend announced that she was engaged and wanted me to be her bridesmaid it was the first place that came to mind to start trying on wedding and bridesmaid dresses. I phoned the shop, made an appointment, and we went along a few days later.
The shop appears to be very small. Menswear is situated downstairs, which I obviously didn’t go in. After climbing a steep set of stairs you enter the ladies section. The first thing that strikes you is the sheer amount of dresses lining the walls of the shop. It is a bit daunting at first but the staff are on hand straight away to help you if you need it, or they will leave you to browse if you prefer that.
The staff are very friendly and are happy to assist you in picking out dresses to try on. They happily take any dresses you like off the rails and transport them to the fitting rooms to try on when you are ready.
The wedding dresses are extremely varied. They have a multitude of styles and colours to suit all tastes. The range of bridesmaid dresses is smaller but again, they have a good range of styles and colours to try on, and are happy to explain the various colour and size options available for each dress.
The main fitting area is spacious, with two fitting rooms, very suitable for 2 or more people who are wanting to try dresses on at once. When trying on dresses the staff are extremely helpful and will assist you with getting dresses on and pinning them in place when the size is not suitable. They are able to suggest accessories to go with the dress you try on, such as tiara’s and veils, to complete the look.
The staff make a fuss of you and really do make the experience enjoyable. They like to chat about the Bride’s wedding plans and seem genuinely interested. They certainly don’t pressure you into buying something straight away as they understand the importance of finding the perfect dress for you and not rushing into anything.
We ended up purchasing the brides dress from there, and as they then offered discount on bridesmaid dresses we went back and bought them too.
