Why our brides love us
Hayley M
I choose my dress in December and since been back to try it on again, I am so in love with my dress and so excited to wear it on my special day in July. I absolutely loved my experience picking my dress and was treated like a princess. Thank you so much for all the help I was given.
Jessica S
The wonderful Debbie and her fabulous mum are amazing. I’ve never felt so welcome and so at home. I get quite anxious with new things but this place is somewhere where I would keep coming back too and recommended to everyone searching for that perfect dress. Even if one of your parents have passed away, giving a gift for my bouquet to put Dad’s picture was just so thoughtful. I literally cannot wait to go back for my fittings and show my mum and bridesmaid my beautiful dress. You guys are stars!!
Lauren B
Such an amazing group of ladies. They found me my dream dress and was so helpful. Give me and my girls all the time in the world to find what we were looking for, wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses! Amazing shop and amazing hospitality… would recommend any bride going there for their dresses! Felt very comfortable
April K
Debbie and her mum are fantastic and truly treat you like you’re the only person in the world getting married! I loved my experience and would love to do it all over again! One of the best days of my life –
I can’t wait to pick up my dress soon!
Katie G
I don’t know where to start! I hated wedding dress shopping until I found this gem of a shop in Minehead. Deb and her mum have so much patience and couldn’t be more friendly helpful and lovely if they tried! They put every fibre of themselves into this business and it shows. I live 2 hours away but it is so worth the travelling! If you are a nervous bride or anxious about choosing ‘the dress’ then please try Somerset Bridal as they will make you feel completely at ease. I simply couldn’t recommend them enough.
FAQs about us
How are you different from other bridal boutiques & wedding dress shops?
Where do we start! We stock sample dresses in sizes 6 to 46, most boutiques only go to a size 12 or 14, which means many brides are left imagining how a dress might look rather than actually trying it on. We have two stores covering every budget from £99 to £4,000. Every appointment is completely privatand no other brides will ever share your space. We have an in-house seamstress. We offer a unique Happiness Guarantee. We offer a Travel Package for brides making the journey from further afield. And we've been doing this for over 10 years with the same passion we started with. We also focus exclusively on brides, no prom, no occasion wear — just weddings, every single day
I am not a Plus Size bride
We cater for ALL sizes, our mantra is that we are 'unapologetically inclusive'. So whether you fit in a size 8 or a size 36 we firmly believe that you are not skinny-size or plus-size, you are WOMAN-SIZE. What matters is that we understand the female body in all its exquisite forms and size truly does not matter when you are shopping for a wedding gown. Our sample sizes are often larger so that we can help every bride and no-one has to imagine what a dress could look like on them. We have lots of clever tricks to pin a gown to your figure.
What makes you an unapologetically inclusive wedding dress experience?
Inclusivity isn't a trend for us it's been at the heart of Somerset Bridal for over 10 years, long before it became an industry conversation. That means private appointments where no other bride will ever see you, sample dresses in sizes 6 to 46 actually in store to try on, stylists trained to support brides with disabilities, burns and skin conditions, and a warm welcome for same-sex couples and LGBTQ+ brides. We also focus exclusively on brides — no prom, no occasion wear — just 100% of our attention on you and your wedding dayy.
