Gorgeous Lauren visited me when I had my Bungay store in July 2023. Almost exactly a year to the wedding day, Lauren booked her appointment with me and along with her lovely mum and nanny we all enjoyed a memorable and truly happy time. Here Lauren shares her story and top tips entirely in her own words. So grateful to you Lauren to take the time and effort to share your story with us. Thank you xoxo

Me and my partner love to go paddle boarding in Bungay, everytime we drove past Lavender & Jude, I would always say I love that wedding dress shop and would love to visit one day.

Tommy asked me to marry him in June and at the end of July I had my appointment at Lavender & Jude. This was my first and only wedding dress shop I went too.

Claire asked me a few questions about myself and my wedding day to get to know me and my future husband. Claire made me feel so welcome and relaxed.

I was so excited and happy to be at my wedding dress appointment with my loved ones. I knew I was going to say ‘Yes to the dress’ soon as I walked into the shop.

I knew what style dress I wanted however I did try on a handful of dresses to make sure I was right in my decision. The moment I put on the dress I knew it was the one for me, my mum and nanny had tears in their eyes, and I just felt amazing.
