The Wedding Dress is a family run business, owner/directors Judith Thomson and Margaret Fradgley being sisters with their mum Phil lending a very much needed helping hand. This gorgeous boutique can be found overlooking the port of Cork. A private location with the benefit of car parking facilities. The Wedding Dress took its baby steps in a tiny boutique on the outskirts of Cork but its success dictated its move to grander surroundings where today the discerning bride and her family can enjoy the courtesy and service that every bride deserves on this most special of occasions. 

We boast one of the largest and most varied collection of couture and designer gowns from both Europe and the U.S.A. A dress for every girl regardless of size or price is our motto. 
We have chosen designers with specialist traits, Allison Blake who creates original styles with deluxe duchesse satins and bead work creating a styled pattern or a personal touch if the bride chooses. Peter Brandon again working in the finest of fabrics but allowing the bride the choice of swopping bodices and skirts to create their own personal couture design. 

Sharon Hoey is one of our most popular Irish bridal designers and the Wedding Dress is the sole stockist of her dresses in the Munster area, again her feel for fabric and excellent design guarantees a hugh demand for her designs and with the heralding of her exclusive diffusion collection from £800 and under the girls at the Wedding Dress are predicting exhaustion all around once they arrive. 

Another Irish designer making her name on the catwalk is Miriam Spollen from Bronte Designs in Dublin. For those looking for the Celtic theme Miriams specialist embroidery is definitely a must, the simplicity of her dresses lifted by swirls of Celtic embroidery could be anyone's dream dress. 

If a girl requires an unusual dress it doesn't have mean that it has to cost the earth, for brides going abroad or who want a more simple style are absolutely thrilled with the Jessica Mc Clintock range including a brilliant selection of bridesmaids.
