Bridal suite opened by NI charity with new and pre-loved gowns

The new bridal suite has opened at Vincent’s in Portadown with a beautiful range of wedding dresses.

Sited at the Mayfair Business Centre, the suite offers brides-to-be dresses to suit any style and budget.

Vincent’s Wedding Suite includes a separate changing room and a viewing area where the mother of the bride can sit back and enjoy the once in a lifetime experience of seeing her daughter trying on her wedding dress.

There are more than 50 new and preloved white and ivory dream wedding dresses for brides to choose from and they can reserve an appointment to view and try on a selection of dresses in privacy.

Mother of the bride, bridesmaid and flowergirl dresses, formal attire and a range of hats and accessories are also displayed in the suite.

Michael Lavery, Manager of Vincent’s Portadown, said: ”At Vincent’s we appreciate that planning a wedding is such a special time in any bride’s life. When we were investing in developing the Wedding Suite we wanted to create a welcoming environment where brides could visit with their bridal party and enjoy the experience of choosing their wedding dress without any pressure.”

Anne Crossan, Regional Retail Manager, SVP NI, said: “The new Vincent’s Wedding Suite is a wonderful addition to the service that we are providing to the local community in the Portadown area. I think it’s really important that brides feel comfortable and enjoy the experience of buying their wedding dress and being able to offer private appointments is a lovely way of personalising the experience for them and their families. I wish Michael and the staff well with this new offering for the store.”

Brides wishing to visit Vincent’s Wedding Suite can be accommodated by appointment during normal shop opening hours and also on evenings and at weekends. To make an appointment, tel 028 3839 4219.

Staff are ensuring that current COVID-19 guidelines are being adhered to.
