Allum & Sidaway Bridal Sample Sale

Join us for a relaxed and personal wedding dress shopping experience in the heart of Salisbury, at our family owned flagship jewellery store. 🤍

This is a ticketed event, with limited spaces available to keep the experience calm, comfortable and personal. We recommend securing your spot early to avoid missing out.

Each ticket is for one bride, and you are very welcome to bring up to two guests with you, making it a lovely opportunity to share this special experience with those closest to you. 🥂

You will have time to browse the rails and choose a selection of dresses you would like to try. As we have one private fitting room, you will then be taken upstairs for your appointment with our Bridal Manager, Brodie. She will offer advice, talk you through the possibilities for alterations and help you picture how each dress could be made just right for you. She may even bring a dress she thinks you might love. ✨

Once you have found your dress, you are welcome to return on a separate day for your seamstress and accessories appointments, giving you the opportunity to complete your bridal look.

We are delighted to work with Clare Gilbert, our recommended seamstress, who is available for alterations in store by appointment. Clare is independent of the store, but is the seamstress we personally recommend and trust with our brides and their dresses. 🤍
