Welcome to Cherished Bridal Wear

New, Once-worn, Ex-Sample and Ex-display wedding dresses in Bournemouth, Dorset

At Cherished Bridal wear we pride ourselves in selling once worn and ex sample designer wedding dresses. Getting married is one of the biggest and most exciting times of a girl’s life and finding the perfect dress is one of the top priorities. With some weddings costing in excess of £15,000 it can seem an impossible task to plan. It is possible to do a beautiful wedding on a budget and with all our dresses having already been dry-cleaned , in fantastic condition ready to go with the gown bag you can find that perfect gown but up to half the price the price of what it was new.

Some of our stocked makes can include: Forever Yours, Ronaldjoyce, Benjamin Roberts, Maggie Sottero, San Patrick and many more.

If your wedding is a short distance away you don’t need to worry about the 6-8 months order time, our dresses are ready for that special bride and our in house alterations could have the final tweaks done in a matter of weeks or days.

Our wedding dress shop here in Bournemouth is beautifully fitted and the bride and bridal party will be made to feel welcomed by Dawn and the team.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Thank you so much to Dawn & Jade for helping me pick out my dress, it was absolutely perfect. They spent the whole time listening to what I wanted, they weren’t pushy at all and really felt like they were helping me find my dream dress no matter how indecisive I was! Plus they have a total knack for picking the accessories too. Everyone commented how much I looked like a princess on my wedding day which I loved! ❤️

Cherished were fantastic and offered the absolute best bridal experience. I've driven past countless times and joked that it's my bridal shop because of how beautiful the displays always are, little did I know how right those jokes were! The first dress I tried on was the one (but I had to go round all the other shops and make sure first!). My whole experience was just so warm and wonderful, I was made to feel like the only bride in the world and every single body insecurity I had was taken seriously in choosing dresses to help draw attention to areas I wanted to & a lot of advice given on what the seamstress can do. There was absolutely no pushy sales pressure, the shop is beautiful and getting the whole space to yourself feels very luxurious. From trying on in other shops the quality difference was obvious, the materials all fell beautifully, they felt light and were holding in all the right places. The dress was an amazing price even for a new line dress. I just can't get over how magical and wonderful my experience was, I was even fit in for an extra appointment late the next day to come back and try the first dress back on after going round the other shops. If you're getting married you must visit this beautiful shop it's the most wonderful place to feel beautiful.

Absolutely outstanding! Such a fantastic experience! A wonderful mother and daughter team, who were exceptionally organised and very welcoming! Made the bride to be and party feel at ease instantly. Outstanding knowledge of dresses and nothing was too much trouble, and no pressure for making a sale. Post purchase, they are still so very accommodating and will assist anyway they can. One happy bride to be , with the most beautiful and sophisticated dress for the big day! Thank you so much ladies. X

After going to 4 other bridal shops, I stumbled across Cherished Bridal Wear on a stockist list for a designer I wanted to try. I can honestly say it's the only bridal shop I have visited where I have found absolutely no pressure and total transparency! After trying all the dresses they picked for me, I browsed the rails out of interest and found they had pulled absolutely every dress I would have picked for myself, so you can really trust them to understand what you are looking for. I ultimately ended up buying the exact dress that brought me to the shop in the first place and I could not be happier with my dress or my experience here! The dress even came in 1/3rd under my budget! Really could not recommend Dawn, Jade & Cherished Bridal Wear more! Thank you!!!!😍💍👰
