    What’s Happening at TDR?

    Below are some dates to pop into your diaries for exciting events happening at TDR this year! These events are your chances to gain exclusive discounts and see some of next years styles ALL in store for one weekend only.

    What is a Trunk Show?

    A trunk show is your chance to view (usually) ALL of the next seasons collection, also known as either a ‘first look’ or ‘preview’ weekend. This means designers will ship new collection gowns into store for one weekend only and is your chance, as a bride, to be one of the first to try and order these style gowns. (P.s. there is usually an exclusive discount for these gowns too!). You will still be able to try on our usual store collection (over 400 gorgeous gowns) so the new collection gowns will just be a bonus!

    So, our advice is, if you like the look of a particular designer, look out for the next trunk show date and get booked in!

  • Best Bridal Retailer West Midlands

    Best Bridal Retailer West Midlands

    Oh wow!  Just not back down to earth yet but got to tell you our news!

    We have just won The Wedding Industry Awards Best Bridal Retailer West Midlands for THE SECOND YEAR RUNNING!!

    This Award is like no other. It’s tough, really tough…It’s voted for by our brides, only those married within the last year, who have genuinely been a TDR Bride.

    Best Bridal Retailer West Midlands

    So no, “click and vote” here folks, this is the real deal.  Every bride has to register with TWIA, give us marks out of 10 on many different aspects of our service and then make comments at the end. We don’t get to see these comments or votes until the very end, after the winners in each category have been announced, all we know is how many votes we’ve had and who they’re off.

    Because we have won the West Midlands heat, we are off to London in January 2018 for the National Finals! Last year we got Highly Commended in the National Finals so we’re keeping everything crossed for 2018!

    Best Bridal Retailer West Midlands

    We never forget though that none of this would be possible without our amazing brides who trust us with the most importance dress they will ever wear, and for that we are truly grateful.
