Our Bridesmaids measuring service is an industry first.  A bride who has maids in another part of the country can arrange for them to be measured at their nearest participating members store.  A fantastic service to offer your brides and the same time get the brides of tomorrow into your store to sample your service.

Sale Dress Website.  You can advertise your discontinued (or over 1 year old) sample stock on our website where brides will for the very first time, be able to purchase RISK FREE,  a designer gown from a genuine bridal retailer at a fantastic saving.  This is sure to be a winner.  No longer will brides have to trust to luck that their gown is not a cheap copy.

Our Brides Assurance scheme formally launched on Monday 12 March 2012 at BBEH and quickly became enormously popular with our retailers and their brides alike..  Now members brides will be covered against the possibility of their retailers financial failure as well as cover for theft and accidental damage.  This is free for brides and FREE for our members. Another fantastic service to offer your brides.
