I absolutely loved coming to choose my wedding dress with you!! I got to wear it for my wedding 20 months ago and then again just a couple of weeks ago for my wedding reception!! You helped me find the perfect dress and were just incredible!! Thank you xx

I cannot recommend this shop enough. Karen and Michelle were absolutely brilliant. They were both so warm and welcoming making the experience enjoyable. They gave advice when needed and nothing was too much trouble. The re was a range of dresses in the shop all stunningly beautiful in their own way. With just your own bridal party present in the shop at the time it really was a relaxed and intimate experience and with their friendly service it was like having extra friends present. I highly recommend a visit when dress shopping. xx

Karen is an absolute star! I knew what style I wanted and she waited for the right type of dresses to come in and sent me photos and was just so helpful! When it came to trying dresses on, she just filled me with confidence. Karen is such a mum and makes you feel so comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for something plus size (or any size), I really wouldn’t suggest you go anywhere else! I only went to this shop and didn’t even consider going to another one, Karen is the only option for your wedding dress shopping experience.

Thank you so much Karen! I can’t wait to wear my beautiful dress next year- 9 months and counting! xoxo

Spent the afternoon with Karen and I said yes to the dress!!!! Karen was so helpful, patient and full of advice and I cannot recommend her enough. The whole experience was incredible for me, my mum and my daughter. Cannot wait to try my dress on again with the alterations. Reasonable prices, great service and I felt at ease with Karen and the lady that helps her immediately. Fabulous range of dresses and Karen really listens to what you want and the dress of your dreams appears!!! Before you go anywhere else ladies, please try Karen first 💕

What an amazing experience when you have such a lovely person to guide you. No pressure at all, big choice, very useful advises! I have been served like I am the only bride to be in the world, if you go there you can feel this is a special moment! Very grateful for your help. When I made an appointment I have mentioned I am only looking for a dress, I am not ready to buy it and an hour later I ended up with my dress. Looking forward to wear it on my wedding day! Thank you Xxx

Michele helped me today, I didn't have a clue what dress I wanted or what style nothing, she helped me with different dresses until I found the one I wanted and loved. She was amazing and very knowledgeable. Thank you for your help today.

I said yes to the dress 💃😋😍🙌

If I could give Karen 10/10 I would! She is amazing!!!! She genuinely cares for you individually as a bride.... she doesn’t treat you like just another sale. She didn’t push me into buying a dress I didn’t 100% love! Karen is just like an Aunty and makes you feel so comfortable. She was there for any of my worries right up until the big day. All of her dresses are gorgeous! Whenever I hear of someone getting married I will be recommending Karen Elizabeth Bridal.... 💖💖

Thank you for all your help from start to finish. I had so many wonderful comments about my dress. If anyone is wondering where to go to find their dress then Karen is who you need. (And yes, mine did have pockets!)

Super happy with the dress I “said yes to today” lovely service and lovely people. Very honest which is always what a bride wants when looking for a dress. Thank you ❤️

Karen’s shop is a little gem tucked away down St. John’s street full of beautiful dresses and lovely people.
Karen has this way of making you feel like you are the only bride, she is professional and caring and genuinely shares in all your excitement leading up to the big day! 🥰

Thank you Karen for making me feel so beautiful in this dress which I nearly overlooked! I’m so glad now that we tried it on 😘

Karen helped me find my perfect dress - even if it was a dress I didn’t want to try on. I trusted her judgement and so thankful I did. On Saturday I proudly wore my dress and felt amazing, just how every bride should feel. Everyone complimented the style, and said that the dress was made for me (so the alterations were spot on..!).
From the first meeting to the last, Karen was warm, friendly and makes you feel special - I didn’t just leave with my wedding dress but I feel that I’ve left with a new friend too. Thank you.

Thank you Karen Elizabeth bridal for making me feel a million dollars- cannot recommend them enough to anyone x

Karen is an amazing lady!!! She helped my daughter find her prom dress, nothing was too much for Karen.
Honestly one of the best services I have ever received in retail 💯 The most important think is that Karen always has a smile on her face, listen to what you want and does everything to meet your needs! Thank you for everything, you are simply fantastic!!!

Karen's service was excellent. She was very warm, friendly and professional. It was a lovely experience, me and mum welled up a bit once Karen found the right dress and pinned in the right places. I fully recommend this shop.

From the first time I met Karen I knew I wanted to try on her dresses. Karen was so lovely friendly and made me feel so relaxed and I found my dress after the 2nd try on. I would defo recommend. thank you Karen x

Karen went out of her way to be incredibly helpful, patient, kind and caring in helping me get the best dress for my special day. Would highly recommend to everyone. Thank you Karen!

I was very apprehensive about bridal shops as the ones I had been in I found to over powering. We found this shop by accident and it was just perfect a very professional relax atmosphere. The staff were so caring and kind you knew you were safe hands and could put compete trust in them. Thank you for all your help I would never have had such a wonderful dress with out you.

I met Karen at Hockwold Wedding Fair and she was just amazing, she spoke to us without putting the hard sell on and could even recommend people for my OH to buy his wedding suit from. I went to try on dresses and I was put totally at ease! I went with half a non existent idea of what I wanted and Karen was so patient with my faffing indecisiveness and let me try on loads of dresses. I am thrilled to say that I said yes to the dress and I can't wait to go back with my bridesmaids to get their dresses and try my dress on again! Love the shop, love Karen, love my dress!

I had no idea what suited me or what style to go for, but Karen helped me find a style that suited me. It was a very relaxing atmosphere & I came away feeling fantastic as I found my perfect wedding dress. Thanks again for all you help. 🙂

I would just like to thank Karen and her assistant for going above and beyond to help my daughter.
Your kindness and compassion second to none!
The dress is absolutely beautiful .
Thank you once again for all your help in making a sad situation turn into be absolutely beautiful one, and will highly recommend you to everyone
thank you

Fantastic shop, she was so patient and allowed me to bring a dress I had already purchased to try on again....the service was second to none....would definitely recommend *****

Absolutely amazing service and lovely lady, so welcoming and helpful. Thank you for helping me find my perfect dress xx

Amazing service, no pressure sales just genuine help and advice. A lovely, lovely lady. Recommend to anyone who's even thinking of getting married.

I received excellent service when I went to Karen Elizabeth Bridal on Friday. From having no idea what kind of dress would suit me I tried on several styles and found the perfect one. Karen's patience, kindness and knowledge of style made the whole experience great. Thank you

This lady is good! She knows and loves her dresses! She knows what works and what doesn't! She knew what suited me and she read me well, knowing my thoughts before I had even expressed them. This lead to me find a wedding dress I wouldn't even have tried on in the first place. It's a beautiful gown and I cannot wait to wear it at my wedding. Thank you so much and if you are reading this to decide on whether you should visit her then go! You'll be pleased you did. ❤️

Brilliant service. She will gladly spend all the time you need to try on dresses, I should know.....I must have tried on about 12 dresses! A fantastic range of dresses with a wide price range. Some stunning dresses in store, some of which are absolute bargains!

Thank you ever so much Karen, we had a lovely morning and I love my dress, it's amazing. Your passion and enthusiasm made the experience wonderful. I felt instantly relaxed with you and felt confident you would help me find my dress and I wasn't wrong. The bonus was you also helped me find my bridesmaid a stunning dress which was unexpected but very much appreciated. Can't wait to come back for fittings. Thank you to a lovely lady x x

I cannot recommend Karen Elizabeth Bridal highly enough. From start to finish, Karen made the whole experience very easy, putting me at ease immediately with her warmth and friendliness.
Nothing was too much trouble and there was no pressure at all, just lots of great advice and support.
I went in to get an idea of what I’d eventually like but came away with my dream dress.
Thank you so much Karen - a lovely experience from a lovely lady ❤️

I would definitely recommend this lovely shop - Karen was fantastic, kind, helpful and made me feel very special! Karen listened to what I wanted (or what I thought I wanted) and helped to guide me towards a number of beautiful dresses (one very beautiful one in particular)! I was given plenty of time at my appointment to try on lots of dresses, I didn’t feel rushed at all, or pressurised into decisions. A wonderful first wedding dress shopping experience, definitely worth a visit - Thank you Karen

Highly recommend Karen Elizabeth Bridal. Karen is such a lovely genuine person who really had me at ease with trying dresses on, I felt so comfortable trying on all styles till I found my dream dress and I couldn't have done it without Karen. Thank you Karen x

Can not recommend Karen highly enough. From meeting at a wedding fayre as a runaway from white dresses bride, to collecting my dress, this lady has been the nicest, kindest and most patient lady to me. Her enthusiasm and energy is amazing, her passion for her brides is unending. If you want something other than white, (sorry Karen, Ivory) she will endeavour to have your ideas created to customise your dress. Love you Karen Elizabeth! Xx

My husband and I got engaged in February 2016, I had some idea of the dress that I wanted but having a beach wedding made my decision a little harder.
I first met Karen at the Bedford Lodge wedding fayre where she simply offered to help me find a style that would suit - knowing where we were getting married. I took her up on her offer and never looked back! Her shop was the first shop I had been to, to try dresses on and it was everything that I had dreamed of. She helped me so much and the dress I eventually said yes to was actually picked by Karen herself - it was the last one of the day and she said "can I just try this one on you?" -it was a match made in heaven!!
After I said yes to the dress, Karen was incredibly helpful in arranging fittings, alterations etc. She has some new and beautiful items in her shop which are simply amazing. I did not want a veil or hairpiece, but I could not resist the beautiful items she showed me and ended up having both.
If you are a bride to be, I highly recommend you visit Karen as she is simply amazing!! Thank you so much Karen xxx

When I first started looking for my dream wedding dress after I got engaged, I found the process overwhelming! I didn't quite know what I wanted and how much I was willing to spend. I went to several bridal stores where the staff was always professional, but I left feeling overwhelmed and undecided each time.
I met Karen at a wedding fair and liked the look of her portfolio. Within minutes, she set up a session for me that very afternoon, knowing that as I lived overseas and was only in the UK for hols, I did not have time and opportunity on my side. That afternoon, her amiable personality put me completely at ease and she helped me pick out a few dresses in the style I had in mind and that all fit me wonderfully. So then the only difficult decision left was to pick the right one! She patiently helped me try and retry the dresses until I was completely satisfied with my choice! When I came back for my first fitting, again, she was really accommodating to my travel schedule and her experience shone through while she helped me fit the dress. I can't wait to try on the dress again once it's been altered to my fit! And I have no doubt that Karen will be just wonderful again! I am absolutely thrilled to have stumbled across Karen, she was definitely instrumental in helping me get my dream wedding dress!

Karen Elizabeth provided an amazing service, friendly and welcoming right from the outset.
A very relaxed dress shopping experience given there was only 6 weeks to the wedding date.
Dress was amazing and alterations were done quickly.
Thank you Karen and your seamstress working behind the scene, I felt amazing on my wedding day.
Could not recommend this beautiful shop more highly!!!

I found my perfect wedding dress at Karen’s shop last year.
The service I received from Karen was first class. She is highly professional, helpful, friendly, supportive whilst making me feel relaxed. My dress was the first one I tried on and it was just perfect, stylish and flattering. I had so many compliments at the wedding!
Karen kept me up to date about subsequent fittings and helped me find complementary accessories.
I would certainly recommend her shop for any future bride.
Thank you Karen

I wasn't looking forward to shopping for my wedding dress, however Karen changed all that from the moment I stepped in to the shop. I went to several different bridal shops however from the moment we stepped in the shop we knew it would be Karen that found me the dress! She is so lovely and goes out of her way to help you and makes you feel at ease! All of the bridal party that came with me said the same xx

Karen was fantastic! As soon as we walked in it was like we had known her forever! Such a friendly lady who really cared and listened! Not pushy at all!! So pleased I walked into her shop.

Karen... you probably won't remember me you, you helped me find my perfect wedding dress last year for my wedding in Cyprus. I'm so pleased to see you have your own shop now and I wish you all the luck. You were so lovely and helpful to me when I came in and especially when I panicking I couldn't get in my dress my dress. But you calmed me and all got sorted. I Highly recommend Karen 🙂

What a fantastic wedding shop in Bury st Edmunds!! As soon as I walked through the door Karen made me feel welcome. She wanted to find out exactly what kind of dress I was looking for so I could say ‘yes to the dress’

Karen said she has only just taken over the shop recently after working in it for a number of years... and she has some grand plans for the new year. I would recommend this shop for any brides to be.

Really helpful and thank you for helping me find my dress.

Karen helped my best friend find her perfect dress. It wasn’t anything we would have considered for her but she told her to try something different and from the moment she stepped out from behind the curtain, the tears said this was the dress! Karen is warm, friendly and incredibly helpful and gave us all the perfect dress shopping experience. Could not recommend more highly.

I fell in love with my wedding dress the moment Karen picked it out for me. She listened to what I thought I wanted and we tried on a few of these. They were all stunning but then Karen challenged me to try a slightly different style. The moment I saw my dress I loved it but nothing could prepare me for how it looked on. I felt a million dollars and it was all thanks to Karen and her talent for knowing exactly how to highlight my best features. She made me look radiant. All my alterations (only the length the rest was already perfect) was meticulously carried out under Karen's eye & she made sure everything was perfect, even making sure the bow on my wedding shoes didn't skim too much across the fabric of the hem of the dress. I fell in love with my wedding dress the moment Karen picked it out for me.
