What an amazing experience! The ladies at TDR were fantastic and Ellie was a dream. I felt so comfortable and at ease. Upon arrival we were offered refreshments and taken to our seats. Ellie was knowledgeable and able to guide us through the all the different elements of wedding dresses. Highly recommend to any bride who is looking for that special moment when searching for their wedding dress.

I was so anxious and nervous about today as I do don’t have a good relationship with my body, so trying on dresses in front of people is my nightmare.
On top of this I’m we were running nearly half an hour late due to traffic on the motorway and I was so stressed and upset.
The second I walked through the door Leila put me at ease, and didn’t make me feel even worse about being late! she already had a glass of Prosecco waiting for me and had got to know my girls.
She had taken the time to look at my favourites and understand my style, and then took me shopping.
She picked up on details that I didn’t even notice in regard to preferences and my style and I ended up picking the first dress I tried on!
Every part of the experience was relaxed and fun and I never felt any pressure which is another thing I was worried about.
I would recommend TDR to anyone and I am SO glad I stumbled across there!

Kate looked after me, I feel she really went out of her way to try find me a dress for my big day.
Kate made me feel at ease as I tried on dress after dress each time Kate got my feedback and took that on board to get me the next dress to try. Kate listened and asked questions and is great at her job. So Thanks Kate for being so patient with me. The shop is lovely and all staff came across friendly. I could not have asked for much more.

Flame was absolutely amazing during my appointment to try on my very own dress! I have lost weight since my measurements appointment and so the dress was a little big. She talked me through all the adjustments that can be made and how. Talked me through all the extras too! It was so good to hear all the hints and tips she had!! I got to show my dress to my mom and my MOH which was lovely. Thanks so much Flame!! You really are amazing xxx

I can’t say enough how appreciative I am of the opportunity to come back with my friend and family over FaceTime to really dig in and try the dresses I had in mind. It turns out I had found The One the first go but I feel so much more confident now! I had such a great experience today. Thank you.

What a lovely experience. This is my third time coming into the shop, this time to try on my actual wedding dress. Abbi made this the most special experience and made me feel so special in my dress and even more excited for the big day. I walked out with a big smile and I can’t thank you enough!

Wow what can I say! The most amazing experience! From arriving at the shop to leaving all of the staff were incredible and so welcoming. The shop was clean and inviting and made for the true bridal experience full of sparkle. Leila was absolute amazing she was knowledgeable, friendly and nothing was too much trouble, we really couldn’t have asked for better! They catered for all my families needs and the refreshments and little gifts were such a lovely touch! Thank you so so much TDR, I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Chelsea was the best, very helpful, couldn’t do more for me, went in search of my veil from storage and even FaceTimed my mum ❤️ and became my personal photographer.
I would just like to say thank you xx

I honestly can’t remember if I’ve already given feedback but would love to again just because it was that good! I have been to so many bridal shops without finding the one and honestly I didn’t have high expectations before I arrived at TDR because of this but WOW, we had an incredible experience from start to finish, it was super laid back, no pressure, Paige who worked with us was phenomenal, she asked all the right questions without being invasive, she was super patient letting my try on different dresses to eliminate things I didn’t like until she found my dream dress that gave me the ‘this is the one’ emotional moment (and I’m not an emotional person!) honestly could not fault a second and will be forever grateful to Paige and TDR for an amazing experience and making it feel so special, now I’m counting down the days until my first fitting! I can’t wait to go back!

A massive thank you to TDR for helping me find my dream wedding dress! It's so beautiful. TDR are uniquely fantastic, their customer service is second to none! I live how their service is personalised to my individual needs and I was kept updated throughout the process. Maya was just wonderful, she was so lovely, friendly and knowledgeable and helped me to feel so at ease when trying on my dress. A huge shout out to Sati, her skills and talents are endless and I can't thank her enough for helping me to realise my wedding dress dreams ❤️. I gave her a big project and she exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend TDR to any bride looking for a very special bridal store, you will not be disappointed!

Della was amazing - incredibly helpful and she got the brief straight away. It was a really fun experience choosing my dress - and although I came in with entirely different expectations of what I wanted, Della showed me some incredible dresses and I ended up choosing something totally different. A great day, and Della helped make it really special for my family and I.

My wife and I initially enquired at TDR to see whether they’d be able to give us a double appointment but also keep us separate. This was no problem and the team made our first visit an incredible experience. Our entourages were able to go between both dressing rooms/ areas (which was separated by a wall so we could not see each other). We all had so much fun, laughing, joking and crying.
We both said “Yes to the dress” in that appointment and only found out on our wedding day that we’d both said yes to the same veil (which was discussed by our consultants and families and decided was a great idea). It was such a lovely touch and the veils looked great with both of our dresses, tying them in together.
Trying my dress in the celebration suite was again another incredible experience and was made to feel special all over again. I loved all of the little touches, but kept them secret from my fiancé as she was due to have her appointment in there soon.
My seamstress, Heather, was also amazing. She made me feel confident, listened to and she did everything she could to ensure my dress fit perfectly. She scheduled me an extra dress fitting too because I told her I was still losing weight.
The whole experience was fabulous and I’ve already recommended a friend, who has also bought her dress with TDR.
Thank you!

I have left a review previously but just wanted to leave another to mention my stylist Leila specifically. Leila was so amazing on the day of my first dress fitting and I just want to thank her personally for the perfect bridal experience. She really understood my style and taste and ensured I felt confident and comfortable for the whole time. My family/ friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I can’t wait to come back again when my dress comes into the shop!

Faultless second trip to TDR to choose between my final 2 favourites! Amy was as brilliant as the first time - friendly and knew exactly what to look for when it came to a veil which finished off the outfit perfectly. No pressure, no rush and truly memorable. Thank you so much.

I had such a wonderful time finding my dress at TDR. The drinks were delicious and the lovely staff couldn’t do more for me. I was especially lucky to have Paige who was a ray of sunshine! She put no pressure on me and clearly loves what she does. She made the whole experience so positive and full of joy, and I walked away feeling empowered I’d found my dress. It’s amazing that in a shop that is so busy, I still felt very special and as though I really mattered to them. Couldn’t recommend this shop more!

I had a really lovely day with my mom & sister picking my wedding dress! The staff are amazing, so attentive and patient! I really felt listened too and it was no trouble for them for me to try on numerous dresses and even trying on some of them more than once to find ‘the one!’.

Such a lovely day! Thank you to Flame for putting me at ease, helping me through the process to find my dream wedding dress! I came with the idea that I probably wouldn't find the one on the first time and to just get a clearer idea, but flame did a great job of working out what I was looking for and picked out different styles to try so I could be certain in my final decision even when I was scared to say yes, she knew it was the one too! Thank you Flame and lady who greeted me, it was the perfect appointment!

A lot of friends recommended TDR not only as brides but people who had gone with their brides to get their friends dress and loved the experience. I booked it and there was a lot of choice regarding timing/ dates
I wasn’t told to ‘only bring 3 people’ I was encouraged to bring my nearest and dearest no matter how many I had there were 6 of us
From the moment we stepped in we got taken to our area and straight away our drink order was taken and they came very quickly ( all free too)
I felt special and the range of dresses is like no other! There are SO many, Amy told me just pick up what sticks out to you and not question it, this made picking them so much easier
Amy was lovely and I really enjoyed her quick dress changes , and ease in the whole experience
I picked my dress which I got emotional about and didn’t expect then Amy got myself and all my family and friends gifts too which really included them in my experience. My gift box was lovely too
I was promoted to take photos at the front which I loved for memories
Overall I cannot think of a better place to get a dress from I have been to other places before and so far nothing compares!

My appointment at TDR was perfect. Leila really listened to my opinions and helped me choose the most amazing dress. Her and the rest of the team looked after myself and my family and made our day very special. Cannot wait to come back to try my dress on when it arrives and am looking forward to the upcoming months as a TDR bride.

I have absolutely loved my experience at TDR Bridal Birmingham and wouldn't hesitate in recommending to others!
As a plus-size bride, I have heard the horror stories about wedding dress shopping and had emotionally prepared myself for a challenge. Before TDR Bridal I had visited two other Bridal Salons that while perfectly nice, just weren't right for me: I found myself struggling to find something that was my style (bold and fun!)
I found TDR Bridal whilst researching and was immediately taken in by the website and inclusive approach - particularly that there is no splitting brides into "plus-size" and "straight-size"...
I found the portal simple to use, and liked that I could select the styles I wanted to try on in advance of the appointment: it made me feel educated and in control. I also couldn't get over how many styles there were available...
When we arrived at TDR Bridal I was blown away. Firstly, the exterior is gorgeous. As you go inside you are greeted by an equally impressive and expansive interior with a bar and drinks on arrival (very much appreciated by my entourage!). I couldn't get over the scale of the store - multiple suites and hundreds upon hundreds of dresses. My mum said it best when she said "Wow, this is a truly impressive operation."
Then, we met Leila. I love Leila. In fact, I am considering whether it would be inappropriate to invite Leila to the wedding...!
Despite having been dress shopping before I was still a bit nervous, but Leila (and her lovely colleagues who stopped me to talk to me about my engagement ring) were so incredibly friendly and welcoming. I was immediately comfortable. I tried on every dress I had shortlisted on the portal and found myself beaming from ear to ear to finally find dresses that felt like ME. Leila quickly understood my style and everyone with me felt comfortable with her and valued her opinion. Almost unbelievably, after having tried on all the dresses I had shortlisted, Leila found me "one more" she thought I might like and that's it, she was the one.
I came back for a second visit a few weeks later to try "the one" on in a size closer to my own and it was confirmed - we had done it. I couldn't be happier.
I enjoyed myself, my loved ones enjoyed themselves, and I am genuinely looking forward to the rest of the process. And no spoilers but the little bonuses were absolutely adored.
Thank you for giving me the most wonderful experience that I will always remember.

This is long overdue but better late than never!
A HUGE thank you to TDR for the whole process from booking to my wedding dress being ready to collect. But even more so to Amy, who was there to help me pick my dress. I am hugely self conscious and I wasn’t ever excited about the part where I had to look at myself in the mirror for two hours putting on dresses I knew I wouldn’t like myself in - so much so, then when I first arrived I burst into tears (cringing now!)
Amy was SO supportive, so understanding and so lovely. I said I just hoped to leave with a dress that was nice - and she assured me I would leave with a dress I LOVED. We picked out some dresses and I tried on about 8 in total, about 6 dresses in I found the one I LOVED. Yes I’m doing alterations to it to cover my arms which I hate, but everything else about it just made me feel so much more confident and definitely helped by having her cheering me on from the sidelines!
Honestly, truly a gem. Thank you again for everything. I can’t wait to see the finished result! xx

I’ve been to this shop multiple times, usually being the bridesmaid and not the bride and always had amazing service. I recently got to experience the service as a bride to be and the shop did not disappoint.
All the staff are friendly, approachable and helpful. Flayme was amazing! She was very patient with my indecisiveness. She really listened to the comments and feedback I made about the dresses and used this to find the dress of my dreams. I could not have found this dress without her. So thank you so much!

From the first initial appointment, all of the staff have been extremely helpful. Paige was amazing at my first appointment allowing me time to choose dresses I thought I’d like and then picking some out for me that I would never have thought to try! My seamstress Ani was excellent with my alterations. Staff at TDR menswear were extremely patient during the suit fittings and were understanding with each individual!

TDR have been a dream from start to finish. Flame eas so patient, friendly & helpful when I was choosing my dress and made the experience really memorable. Following that firat appointment I was consoatently updated with any appointment information which was so helpful when you have a busy work schedule. The appointments themselves were always the same lebel of service from each member of staff. I was always made to feel special and enjoyed them all as did friends and family. My seamstress Denise was just brilliant, going above and beyond to get everythimg with my dress perfect and she did just that! I felt amazing in my dress on the day and have had so many compliments. Will recommend TDR to anyone. Thank you!

Where do I start…the service from start to finish has been amazing! From my first appointment of trying the dresses on I had the lovely Della, who listened and understood exactly what I wanted. I’ve had to travel nearly 2hours to come to TDR and all the staff have been so accommodating, Heather the seamstress lady is am absolute diamond.
The talent she has is amazing, magician haha!
Had my final dress fitting today and I feel so sad that my TDR journey has come to and end.
I want to thank everyone for giving me the best bridal experience and will always be recommending you!

What an absolutely incredible day I had today.
The gorgeous Maya looked after us and right from the beginning I felt like I was in good hands. She took the time to get to know me, my Mum and my Sister. We were all offered plenty of drinks - just wish I wasn’t driving :)
Maya asked me questions about what I thought I did / didn’t want and was then able to guide me to the dress areas and helped me pick out a few options.
I then found a bit of a wildcard, tried it on first and fell in love! I did not think it was possible, I tried on some other dresses just to be sure but nothing could match the one! ❤️
Once I’d definitely decided that was the one - I didn’t want to take it off! And Maya said I could keep it on for a bit longer - I actually felt like a princess.
Almost wish I could do it all over again - but am so glad I can come back and show some of my bridesmaids the dress too ❤️
