About us
Giving brides the most beautiful day of their lives and seeing them glow on their big day is what really energizes us! The Beautiful Bride Shop wants to make it as easy as possible for you to find beautiful products and have them delivered to your home in an easy way! This way you can try on our products in the comfort of your own home, together with your own friends and family.
In 2010 we started with 'our sister' The Beautiful Bride Company providing bridal hairstyles and bridal make-up. More and more often we were asked by our brides whether we could also supply a beautiful hair accessory or a veil. It is our passion to optimally provide brides on the most beautiful day of their lives. Due to the demand from the brides, the idea arose for an online shop to be able to fully provide the brides. This was the beginning of The Beautiful Bride Shop.
The Beautiful Bride Shop has already made more than 160.000 brides shine! The Beautiful Bride Shop has grown into an international company with which we deliver to the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium and more customers all over the world. We are very proud of the fact that we are rated by our customers with an average of 4.7/5!

General
Are you in need of some advice? Then you can always contact our customer service.
There are several ways to find the product you are looking for. The search bar at the top right of the site allows you to search specifically by typing in your search query. Simply enter the desired term or article number and all relevant search results will be displayed. For example, you can search for ”hoop skirt”, ”white bridal shoes” or ”anika” using the search bar.
Another way to search is to browse through the different categories in the menu. To do this, first select the desired category in the top menu at the top of the homepage of the website, for example 'ladies' or 'decoration'. Then the ladies or decoration menu allows you to narrow your search by choosing a specific category, for example ”bridal shoes” or ”hoop skirts”. Finally, you can refine your assignment even further in the submenu.
You may see quite a few search results. You can reduce the number of results by applying filters. You can find these above the articles. For example, you can filter on characteristics such as brand, size and color.
You can then sort the articles by a number of specifications:
- Most Popular (the most sold items are shown first)
- New (the newest articles are shown first)
- Highest price
- Lowest price
- Sale (discounted items shown first)
It is possible that a certain size or an article is not in stock. Check in the scroll-down menu on the product page when your desired product/size will be back in stock.
At the moment it is (unfortunately) not yet possible to try on wedding dresses at our office. To help you find the wedding dress of your dreams, we have an really handy online wedding dress guide!
If you are in the area and want to try on a bolero or shoes? Contact our customer service for the possibilities!
We advise you to measure your size manually so that you are sure that you order your wedding dress in the right size. Our extensive size chart explains step by step how you can measure yourself. We refer you to our heading 'Size tables' for our product sizes!
Refer to the table below to determine the correct size.
Do you have any questions? Feel free to contact us!
If in doubt, we advise you to order a larger size, because it is easier to alter a larger size. You can have your wedding dress altered at a local dressmaker/seamstress in your area.
If your wedding dress/product does not fit at all, you can always exchange your wedding dress/product.
Unfortunately we do not offer an alteration service ourselves. You can always contact a tailor in your area.
Sorry to hear that your wedding dress still doesn’t fit after it has been altered. We advise you to discuss this with your seamstress so that you can look for a suitable solution together.
Is the wedding dress or item you ordered not to your liking? Then you can of course exchange this for another item free of charge within 60 days or return it at your own expense. Read our return conditions and the return process here.
NB! As soon as the wedding dress (or other product) is no longer in its original state, it is unfortunately no longer possible to exchange or return it.

We use a maximum shoe order of 4 pairs of bridal shoes per order or customer. Of course it is possible to order 4 pairs of shoes and other accessories, such as a tiara or bridal lingerie.
Our bridal shoes are often made of vulnerable materials, such as satin and fine leather. The bridal shoes can therefore quickly show signs of use. We want to offer all our customers new and beautiful products, so we are forced to set a maximum of 4 pairs of bridal shoes per order or customer.
We reserve the right not to accept or process big orders. We ask for your understanding for this.
Try on the bridal shoes on a soft surface, so that the shoes are not damaged or show signs of wear.
NB! Satin bridal shoes are very fragile and cannot withstand moisture. Once the shoes get damp, they get damaged quickly.
If the returned products are dirty or damaged, we unfortunately cannot accept these items. The items will be returned to you and we will charge you for the costs incurred.
At The Beautiful Bride Shop you can choose from a wide range of bridal lingerie. For bridal lingerie there is a maximum of 4 pieces per order, per product category. For example, it is possible to order 4 bras in combination with 4 briefs. From a hygienic point of view, all briefs are sealed and cannot be tried on. Breaking this seal obliges the customer to keep the product. This also applies to Poirier's stockings.
NB! In the event that a product is returned without a seal or with a broken seal, unfortunately we cannot accept this return.
For ordering bridal jewelry we use a maximum of 6 pieces per order or customer. The maximum of 6 pieces applies per product category. For example, you can choose 6 tiaras and 6 bridal jewelry sets.
Is an item you have ordered cheaper in our webshop? Then we would like to ask you to first check the following:
- Has your order been delivered more than 7 days ago?
- Is the offer only valid on a different size, color or type?
- Did you find the offer on The Beautiful Bride Shop webshop from another country?
If one of the above points applies, it is unfortunately not possible to settle the discount for you.
Do none of the above apply? Please contact us. We would be happy to see if we can settle the discount for you!
