"Tried on my wedding dress and damaged the zip with only 1 week to go to the big day. Rang Bridal Alterations in a panic and was immediately reassured by Karen on the phone to not worry as she will sort it, I can not stress enough how fantastic Karen and her team are ! The repair and alteration was booked yesterday and I have picked up my dress today. A fantastic experience start to finish. This has made such a difference to the run up to the wedding. I would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a caring , professional, prompt and expert service to look no further. Thankyou Karen. X "

"I would recommend Proposals to everyone looking for their perfect bridal gown. The shop is beautiful and Karen and her staff are so friendly and welcoming. I immediately felt at home! Karen is an amazing seamstress and the alterations to my dress were perfect. She even did alterations for my 2 bridesmaids dresses (which were bought online) and they were so pleased. I really enjoyed the whole experience whilst visiting Proposals - I could never wait to get back for my fittings! It was fun and relaxed. I promised Karen a photograph of me in my dress on our big day, so will be visiting again soon! Thank you again to Karen and her team. "

"Proposals was the first bridal shop I went to...The shop has so much choice, Karen was really helpful and made my first experience of dress hunting a good one! I went to another two today and they didn't come close to the wonderful service And friendly approach I received. Would definately reccommend!! Thank you "

"Well what can i say about Karen, she is absolutely amazing!!! I bought my dress from a different shop and found Karen for my alterations. It was so much work due to having lace and so many layers, and she made little work of it. She did an absolutely amazing job in no time at all and even picked little details out to be sorted to make sure the dress was absolutely perfect! Even her daughter did an absolutely amazing job with infilling a jewelled belt for my wedding dress, and you wouldn't even know it had to be done!! I couldn't believe the difference when i put my dress back on for my last fitting!! She also did my bridesmaid's dress, which again had so much detail to mess around with for the alterations, and she made it fit perfect, even my bridesmaid couldn't believe it and how well it fitted after!! Karen is absolutely amazing at her work and doesn't waste time. Karen has done so much work for me, and even the little bits that matter! I thank her so so much!! Have recommended her to so many people, and would definitely take anything i needed altering in future to her without doubt!!! "

"I went into proposals with a image of the wedding dress I thought I wanted, after trying on many I the style of these dresses which the staff were so patient with, I found the perfect dress which turned out to be the complete opposite to what I had originally imagined. It was the Cinderella Bridal Gown, I loved the dress however I wanted sleeves and the back I my dress to have material in the see through area, the staff were very helpful, helped me to design what I wanted, gave me ideas but most off they made it possible and without any problems they created the beautiful dress I choose to a beautiful elegant, an very detailed dress, it was more than I had imagined. I was not the easiest I customers, and wanted the dress to suit my wedding theme which was English/Irish/Indian, and with the help of the staff here they created this. I can not thank you all enough, you helped to make sure I wore the perfect dress for me, I really did feel like a beautiful bride, especially when you only had 3 weeks to do my dress. Thank you all so much you are all such a lovely approachable friendly team. Nicola "

"An amazing experience at Proposals! After visiting over 30 bridal stores my last stop was Proposals. I was impressed before I even entered the store. The decor is stunning, definitely the most beautiful bridal store in the Midlands. Karen is wonderful! Extremely talented and helpful. Beautiful choice of dresses and accessories. She did an amazing job on my alterations and my flower girl dresses were out of this world! She treated my like a friend and even though she is dealing with loads of brides everyday she would always remember my name when I called. Two days before I was due to fly (I got married in Jamaica), I weighed myself and found I'd lost half a stone without realising. My dress was too big and I called Karen up crying. She was so kind to me. She fitted me in straight away and altered the dress within an hour. I am so thankful to her because I was in absolute despair! Thankyou Karen for all your advice and expertise!! I am so grateful I chose Proposals. I will definitely be recommending you to my family and friends!! "

"I was looking for a formal evening gown at short notice and, on the spur of the moment, popped into Proposals one lunchtime when I was passing - I'm so glad I did! They had just the dress I was looking for although it required alterations and these were made promptly and beautifully - you'd never know it's been altered by looking at it! Nothing was too much trouble and they were incredibly helpful. Next time I need a dress, I'll definitely be going back and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for either a wedding dress or evening gown. Thank you so much!! "

"Excellent choice of gowns, something for everyone and the staff are very friendly. "

"I went to the NEC wedding show and found "THE DRESS" I instantly fell in love with a beautiful Ian Stuart dress, but unfortunately the one they had wasn't my size. As soon as I got home I went straight on the Internet, typed the name of the designer and the dress name and up popped proposals. I contacted Karen via email after seeing the dress I wanted on the website, and even though it was a Friday evening and I knew the shop was closed, I still got a reply . We arranged for me to go in the next day for me to get my dress and I was so excited. Upon arrival at the store I was highly delighted to see a beautiful building which gave me a great first impression, I walked in the door and the beauty continued inside too. Straight away Karen acknowledged me and I felt at ease, she had the dress ready and waiting in a dressing room. I went in and tried it on and felt amazing. Karen is such a lovely person who is also very professional and helpful, and I've decided that after just meeting her once. My overall experience with Proposals is absolutely brilliant, I am so glad I had the chance to go there and I could not recommend them more!! "

"After visiting several other bridal shops with a mixture of helpful and not so helpful staff! I was so relieved to find Karen at Proposals, not only did she have a fabulous selection of dresses, but herself and Kay were really helpful & friendly, nothing too much trouble. Proposals was recommended by a friend, and I will certainly be recommending Karen to anyone I know getting married "

"After visiting Proposals, and buying my wedding dress i was made to feel very welcome by karen. she helped me find the perfect dress and made me feel so welcome and comfortable. The service was outstanding and the alteration she did to my dress were amazing it like the dress hasn't even been changed! she spends time only with you, and makes the whole experience very personal to your wedding! I cant thank proposals enough and i would recommend them to any one getting married! "

"I got my wedding dress from proposals 4 yrs ago for my wedding friendly staff and karen is just amazing helpful and takes the stress out of everything so much so I recommend proposals to all my friends I'm renewing my vows next yr and defo will be getting my dress from proposals1 "

"Well what can I say...... would highly recommend Karen to anyone and I so wish I lived nearer and not in London. I searched everywhere for these particular Alfred Angelo bridesmaid dresses in a certain colour that had been discontinued. The weekend I was due to be on a one off trip to Manchester, I discovered Proposals in Conventry had the dress, the colour and sizes I wanted. I was soooo happy, I couldn't believe my luck. The problem I then had was I couldn't get to the shop on the Saturday and the shop was closed on Sundays. Karen kindly offered to take them on the Sunday to a show, so I could collect them, however we could not guarantee getting there on time. Karen gave us her personal number to contact her on our way back to London and she specially opened the shop for us to collect the dresses and she knew how desperate I wanted them. I couldn't believe how helpful she was, it was great and it made my day. Karen was in constant contact with me. If I hadn't already purchased my bride's dress I certainly would have from her. The dresses in her shop were so beautiful, as well as the shop and the service fantastic :-) - thank you so much Karen. Karen even took my details so she could wish me a happy wedding day later in the year - how lovely is that :-) "

"I didn't buy my wedding dress from Proposals but I really wish I had! I ordered my dress through another store but when my dress arrived they refused to do the changes they had previously agreed (even suggesting I use a nappy pin for my bustle). I contacted Proposals as I'd heard good things and despite it only been a few weeks to my wedding Karen said she couldn't see a problem making the changes I wanted even though my dress was very delicate. The shop is lovely and it seems to have lots of dress choices. I went in a few times for fittings and and each time the staff were friendly and accommodating even though I hadn't bought the dress from their shop. Unlike some bridal shops the staff here clearly know how to make each bride feel special and unique. My dress was beautiful before I took it to Proposals but Karen and her team made it even more amazing and it fitted me perfectly (and she put a small crystal button and loop for the bustle instead of the nappy pin the other shop suggested!). I honestly wish I'd gone there from the start. Thanks for everything Caroline "

"Very good service. I would recommend this place to anyone. Very good range of gowns and a very friendly and enthusiastic staff. I had found a perfect dress with a little alteration which was made immediately in the shop. Thank you for your help Paige once more. "

"After months of searching for my wedding dress all over Warwickshire I finally found Proposals, I knew instantly I would buy my dress from here. Not only were the dresses all beautiful but Karen and her girls made the whole experience special for me. Their attention to detail, care and attention was without parallel. Most bridal shops can be pretentious and pushy, definitely not at Proposals! Thank you. "

"I visited this shop along with many others, I was greeted by Paige who was very helpful and friendly and allowed me to try on as many dresses as I wanted;the selection is fantastic. Even though I found my dress from somewhere else, after a complete nightmare where another Coventry shop almost ruined it with their shoddy alterations, I called Karen from Proposals who was able to not only fix what the others had destroyed but alter my dress faultlessly, the service and work was so good that I also took my bridesmaids dresses in and mother if the bride's so that they could be perfected also. After a near disaster I am extremely grateful to Karen for saving the day and doing such a wonderful job. Whether its buying a dress or just the alterations needed, I thoroughly recommend Proposals. "

"I loved my experience here at Proposals Bridal Studio. As a very shy and anxious person all the staff made me feel really comfortable fast, allowing me to take everything at my own pace. They have a wide range of dresses in so many different styles. The price range is also very accommodating for smaller and larger budgets. All the staff are lovely and welcoming. Highly recommend this shop! "

"Karen and her team have been friendly, helpful and understanding: from the initial choice of bridal gown through to fittings of bridesmaids dresses purchased elsewhere. They have made appointments for fittings around both bride's and bridesmaids' university terms and work schedules, and always welcomed me, mother of the bride, with warm smiles and calming humour! They know their art, and nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend them to anyone I knew who was getting married. "

"I cannot recommend Proposals enough. Karen and Paige were absolutely fantastic. I was pretty nervous about finding a wedding dress and had a few poor experiences in other shops. This all changed when proposals took me under their wing. They have an amazing selection of dresses, literally something for everyone. They even managed to make me (someone who doesn't feel comfortable being the centre of attention) feel relaxed and helped me pick the perfect dress. I cannot emphasise enough how happy I was with my dress. The team is professional, efficient, and are clearly very very skilled at what they do. You will not regret getting your wedding dress from proposals. "
