Additionally, the adjacent Groom's Room offers an exciting range of men's formal wear for hire or purchase; this is particularly convenient to assist coordination of colour themes across the bride and groom's parties.

    What a find! Tucked away upstairs in broad street mall. Truly professional staff with only the brides best interests in mind. I bought a wonderful Ian Stuart gown, made in my size. A lovely experience from the minute I walked in the door - they helped to make my wedding absolutely perfect!
