Appointment

Bridal Appointment

1 hr 30 mins··Free

Let’s get to know you over a cuppa!
I’ll really listen to what you are looking for, then it’s time for you to choose & try on a lovely selection of dresses.
You have dedicated time just for you in our beautiful upstairs bridal suite, & soon you’ll have a really good idea of what suits you & hopefully some ‘fuzzy’ feelings that make you feel amazing!
The boutique has a lovely collection of carefully chosen designers covering a nice selection of dresses, sizes (8-28) & budgets (£995-£2’999).
There is also ‘The One & Only’ dresses offering immediate stock from previous seasons. Perfect for those closer dated weddings & more purse friendly at half price or less…. but when they’re gone, they’re gone!

Many people find the perfect dress on their first visit. Please ensure you have the most important opinions that you value with you – but not too many. I recommend no more than 3-4 so you’re not too overwhelmed.
Your booking fee is redeemable against your dress purchase, & can be used towards your 50% deposit required to secure your dress. Any balance is due within 4 months or prior to any alterations.
You’ll receive an ‘I Said Yes’ tote bag with everything you need for your dress journey, as well as a lucky silver sixpence! Your beautiful dress is supplied with a complimentary breathable fabric dress cover, stored if required until the wedding (up to one year) & a steaming service to ensure all is perfect for The Big Day!
I can't wait to meet you!

(Please Note: Our "ONE & ONLY' range is extended in our BRIDAL OUTLET downstairs with EVERY dress under £895 for the months of July-December. This 90 minute appointment offers access to both departments, but please book a 'Bridal Outlet' appointment if you wish to exclusively view these dresses.
(£10/60 Minutes)

Bridal Revisit

1 hr··Free

Let's make sure you've found 'The One'!
Although many people find the perfect dress on their first visit, a revisit can sometimes be needed to be 100% sure that you've found your dream dress... & bring that one person who's opinion is most important!
We can re-try on that favourite dress from your first visit & check if all those wonderful feelings come flooding back!
A 50% deposit is required when you find 'The One' with any balance due within 4 months or prior to any alterations.

See you again soon!

Your private appointment is for 1 hour - with no one else around! We'll try on a lovely selection of dresses. You'll soon have a really good idea of what suits you & hopefully just one will make you feel fabulous & ready for any red carpet event!!
Many people find the perfect dress on their first visit. Please ensure you have the most important opinions that you value with you - but not too many. We recommend no more than 2-3 so you are not too overwhelmed.

Couldn’t recommend Cathy enough!! I had my ‘celebrate my dress’ appointment which is such a nice touch. It was an amazing experience just like the last appointment, I got to celebrate with my bridesmaids and toast with a drink! & most importantly got to try my dream dress on again and fell in love like the first time. Cathy makes you feel like a real life princess and helped me to pick my veil with so many beautiful options 🥰 She has so much knowledge & recommendations, you can see she has a passion for what she does, thank you Cathy so pleased i picked 14 & sixpence.

Cathy is simply marvellous! You must go - for any special events - including weddings, proms and parties. This was our second experience with Cathy at 14&sixpence and I cannot rate her highly enough. A truly wonderful experience from start to finish. Cathy is so professional and her expertise shines through. A huge range of dresses to choose from, a wonderful setting which feels relaxed and special. Her attention to detail, her care, communication are exceptional and she makes sure that the dress you choose is just perfect for you and the occasion - these are the hallmarks of this experience which is second to none. I cannot recommend her highly enough.. we shall definitely be back next year.... thankyou Cathy!

Wow! What an amazing shop and what an amazing lady Cathy is.

From start to finish, Cathy was very patient with me, offering advice and support and she made the whole personalised experience magical!

The variety of dresses in the shop were amazing and you have ample time to enjoy finding the ones you want to try on.

I would highly recommend Cathy and her beautiful shop!

Thank you so much - I said yes to the dress!!!
