Linda is someone who is not only exceptionally good at her job but obviously loves it! She makes you feel very important and she goes the extra mile for her customers. So much better than the shop I went to before this one! Thanks Linda

I had been to several shops looking for my dress before here but after them i always felt really deflated and thought id never find a dress i liked. All the other shops just listened to what i told them and i tried on the dresses similar to my description. When i went to chic and elegant i told her what i wanted……(i was abit of a bridezilla) i didn’t like this, i didn’t want that, linda must have thought i was a right madam! when i told her what i wanted she advised me to try a different style as she didn’t think that style would suit me but i thought i knew best! when i tried what i thought was my dream dress on they looked awful on me. linda suggested a style that she thought would suit me because i was so petite and i must say she knows her stuff. The dress i have bought is the complete opposite of what i wanted and everything i didn’t want in my dress but it looks amazing and i absolutely love it. As soon as i put it on i knew it was the 1. Im so glad i listened to her advice and tried the dresses she suggested on. Shes very honest and made me feel a million dollars. The dress i have bought is actually a lot cheaper than the original dress that i thought i wanted, so that just goes to show its not about the money to her its about making sure i looked amazing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. ive actually gone back and bought my bridesmaids dresses with her and shes helped me with lots of other things like photographer, mens suits, decorations and a cake. She really was a pleasure to do business with and i cant wait for my wedding day now.

Thank you linda i am so grateful for all your help and support.xx

I chose this shop purely on the comments, I have to say that they are all true! You really do get a personal service and I don’t mind that what I wanted didn’t suit me. That honesty helped me chose a beautiful dress that I felt amazing in. I’m so glad I came to a shop where it’s not about making money but about giving someone a dress they not only like but look good in. I am taking my bridesmaids as soon as I get an appointment. I would recommend this store to anyone.

I visited bridal shops in London, Cardiff & Mumbles before I visited Chic & Elegant but I wish I’d gone straight to Linda. I recommend Linda to everyone as you won’t find a friendlier welcome or better advice anywhere else. Linda was so lovely I really miss visiting her at the shop now that the wedding excitement is over!

I would like to say the biggest thankyou ever to Linda for all the help and advice that she took the time to give leading up to our big day, our wedding was on the 4th June 2011 and our perfect day was a big part down to Linda and her attention to detail, it was fantastic and ensured that nothing was left short of perfect, nothing is to much trouble for her and she will always go the extra mile to ensure that you are absolutely happy. From the first time that we walked into her shop we new that was the bridal shop that we wanted to use, the warm greeting that we recieved and the complete feeling of calm, there was no pressure sales talk and the feeling of just being another number so to speak, we were made to feel special and important and she listened to every worry and idea we had.
Linda has a way of making you feel completly calm and at ease at a time of panic and stress and she gives you the imediate feeling that everything is in hand and under control. The dresses were absolutly stunning and fitted perfectly, once again I can not thankyou enough for all your help.
If you are getting married dont waste your time running around all the other bridal shops as we did intially, this is the only shop you will need with a beautiful selection of wedding gowns and dresses and Linda’s years of experience together with her wonderful warmth and caring attention to detail you cannot have anything other than the most perfect wedding day ever just as we did.
Thanks so much

Dear Linda and Kay
I cannot thank you both enough for all of your help and support in the lead up to our wedding. I am so grateful to you both for making myself, my mother and my bridesmaids feel like the most important people who had ever stepped foot in your shop.
You gave us such a a wonderful and heartfelt welcome. We instantly felt at ease and as if we had known you for years (so much so that my mum is still convinced that she is related to you some how, haha)
Nothing was ever too much trouble. You never rushed us or pressured us in any way and your guidance was amazing.
I will be forever grateful to you both for helping to make our day so perfect. I visited so many wedding shops and you truely have a hidden treasure – nowhere came close to the service that you provide.
Thank you both again. I cannot recommend you enough!
All my love and best wishes

I am getting married in August 2012 and bought my dress from Linda in January 2011. Linda gave me great advice on my dress and made me feel totally at ease. She also kept my dress in her house for a while untill there was room in the shop again. I have been in to the shop about 9 times already and Linda is always great. Linda has also helped us sort our wedding cake and an is on hand to offer great advice. I would recommend Chic and Elegant to any future bride.

After going to chic and elegant i expected all bridal shops to treat me the way linda did but unfortunately they didnt therefore there was only one option…. go back to chic and elegant!!. Linda was amazing she made me feel as if i was the first person ever to walk into her shop and to be honest seemed to be more excited about my wedding than i was which was lovely. I cannot praise her enough thank you ever so much for everything that was done for me. I had so many amazing comments about my dress it was the perfect one. Again thank you and i will be in soon to show you my wedding photos : ) xx

Well where shall I start! I got married on August 28th 2011. On visiting Linda for the first time back in June 2010 she greeted us with an extremely warm welcome and made me and my family feel comfortable from the word go! Not only is Linda patient but she know exactly what she is doing… I tried various dresses on but there was one that stood out for linda which she really wanted me to try on so i went with Linda’s expereince tried on the dress and it was the one…..and i must say it was a beautiful gown!!! Along with a matching veil and headband! I was made to feel that i was the only bride in the world, of course i knew this wasnt the case but Linda made me feel so special. The fact that she only see’s on bride at a time really adds to this! I also payed for the service Linda offers where she delivered my dress the evening before the wedding and then returning to my home the morning of the wedding to help get me dressed which i have to say she kept me calm…..kept us all calm. Not only did she help me she also dressed the bridesmaids, my mother and helped with the mens ties, cuff links etc! Linda then stayed with us until the cars arrived made sure the door was locked and helped me into the car and sent me on my way! What Linda charges for this service i think is really a small price to pay considering all the help she provides you with! Unfortunately I only got to meet kay the once but did speak to her on the phone a few time and she seemed as lovely as Linda. I cannot thank you enough for the fantastic service you provided and everything you did for me on the build up to my wedding. I am going to miss going to see Linda at the shop. For those of you who havent payed chic and elegeant a visit please do so you wont be dissapionted they will make you look and feel absolutely beautiful!!!!
