The wedding dress featured a beautiful floral lace corset top and a flowing A-line skirt.
It was the more expensive of the two at £125.99, but she said it was well worth the price.
“Oh my god. The details on it are so beautiful,” she said as she pulled it out of the bag.
“Is this going to be the dress? Is that it? It could be,” in awe.
Her next dress had a different bodice, this time in satin with a large slit at the side. This dress cost her £56.49.
To add extra glamour to the dress, the neckline was decorated with pearls.
Sophie then found a floor length dress with a large bow, this was also satin and had a slit up the side of her leg, this dress cost her £37.49.
Next up was a dress that cost £42, with beautiful off-the-shoulder details in an organza fabric and a satin fabric throughout the dress.

Sustainable Chic
Bridal fashion in 2024 will see a strong shift towards sustainability, with brides paying close attention to the fabrics they use to make their dresses.
Many brides also want to wear a second-hand dress or a vintage one.
Boho bliss
The bohemian aesthetic is effortless and laid-back elegance – ideal for relaxed weddings. Whether it’s in a garden, on a beach or under the stars, the boho trend is also great for nature-inspired weddings.
Couples opting for outdoor locations and bohemian-inspired dresses with flowing silhouettes, floral lace and whimsical details that blend in with the natural surroundings. It’s all about bringing the romance of the outdoors into the bridal wardrobe.
Bohemian-style dresses often feature vintage-inspired lace, flowy sleeves and airy details that will stand the test of time.
Satin elegance
Satin wedding dresses are winning the hearts of brides who appreciate the combination of modern simplicity and classic luxury.
This trend is suitable for weddings where an elegant, refined aesthetic is preferred. It is therefore an ideal choice for formal occasions, chic city weddings or other occasions where the bride wants to see herself in a dress that exudes sophistication and grace.
Daring romance
Oversized and daring modern models show a shift in bridal fashion.
This trend is for the bride who dares to be different, who breaks with tradition and embraces a vibrant, contemporary aesthetic on the most important day of her life.
“This inspired me to write my own book, focusing on neurodiversity and emotional regulation. As a self-published author, I have sold 7,000 books in less than a year.
“My books are about empowering children and their families by providing them with tools and stories that celebrate differences and help them navigate emotions.
“My most popular book, I still love you“Makes young children feel unconditionally loved, regardless of the emotions they experience.”
