In this current crisis the last thing a bride wants to be doing is traipsing round every bridal shop trying to find her dress. Make sure the shop you chose has a great varied selection so that you can be sure to find your dress and at the same time minimise the risk whilst out and about. TDR have put special measures in place to protect all visitors as best they possibly can whilst still ensuring that brides enjoy this very precious time.” Favourite dress: “Claudine By Elysée! We love the option of sleeves and cape rather than a veil as something new and different for 2021!” Check out www.tdr-bridal.co.uk | hello@tdr-bridal.co.uk TDR-Bridal, B mingham Jayne , “At Pre-Loved Bridal Boutique we aim to give you the full wedding dress shopping experience with an affordable price tag.
