Wedding Dresses in County Down

Finding bridal boutiques in County Down

Slieve Donard Resort, Killyleagh Castle and Clandeboye Lodge between them host hundreds of weddings a year, and many of the bridal boutiques listed here have dressed brides at all three. Suppliers cluster around Newry, Downpatrick and Bangor, with Newtownards drawing bridal boutiques who specialise in Mourne Mountains and Ards Peninsula coastal venue events. Wedding dresses range from around £800 for sample sale and off-the-peg styles to £3,500 and above for made-to-order gowns, with alterations typically charged separately.

Belfast, County Antrim and County Armagh are all within easy reach, and most bridal boutiques in County Down will travel to venues there without adding a surcharge. Lead times for made-to-order gowns typically run six to nine months from order to final fitting, so if your wedding is less than a year away, flag this at your first appointment and ask specifically which styles are available off-the-peg or from sample. Bring shoes at the correct heel height to your first fitting — hem adjustments made without them often need correcting at a later appointment.
