Finding Abigail’s Collection has been such a gift. Natalie was so worried that her idea for a colour scheme would be classed as ‘odd’, but Abi and Lauren made her visual how wonderful it all would be. And the dress ... My God do they know their business or what, she looked beautiful, tears everywhere! Thank you so much for giving Natalie the belief in herself and putting up with a waterworks Mother and a know it all Aunt! You are FAB! Bless you all x x

I don’t think I can put into words how wonderful my experience at Abigail’s has been but I will try.... as soon as I walked in the customer experience is amazing from the one to one service , the lovely dresses to the accessories and even the perfume in the toilet! Although I fell in love with a dress in another shop, I realised I wanted to buy my dress here. The whole experience has been as special as it should be! Thank you.
Joley, London
I have been to lots of different wedding dress shops in Colchester, Chelmsford, London and actually and all over Essex!! I was getting confused, what I want to say is that your shop is the absolute best of them al! The dresses are soooo gorgeous and the one to one service here is wonderful. You are the best shop ever and I love it here! Thank you, thank you, thank you! PS – So relieved I’ve finally chosen x x
Lisa, Essex
My friend recommended I come to Abigail’s Collection and she was so right too! I had been to a few shops and was truly disappointed with the way they had made me feel. Where as here, I felt like the only Bride on the planet! Beautiful shop, fantastic service, so friendly! I will be recommending! Lots of love..
Lisa’s (Mum), Essex
Thank you for making Lisa’s first experience so lovely and for helping her to feel so special. Today we picked her dress, it is so beautiful. Thank you for your care and attention, it puts you above everywhere else and we shall definitely be recommending you as we were recommended to come here for a very special experience. Take care. May all your dreams come true like you made ours.
Anne Marie, Chelmsford
Thank you soooo much for the fab afternoon! You’ve both made us feel very special – such a welcoming service. The ‘finishing touches’ are something neither of us expected. Thank you.

Despite keeping Lauren very late, she has been sooo lovely, really helpful and has made the whole experience so amazing... exactly what I dreamt it should be! Thank you so much for being so professional and attentive throughout, I really appreciate how special you’ve made this once in a lifetime experience.

Wow what a fantastic experience, thank you so much for all of your help you are so friendly and helpful. I felt at ease and confident that you gave me honest advice at all times.

Finding Abigail was a tremendous discovery. Her passion for her job is amazing as was the time that we spent here. Thank you Abigail for making the beginning of our wedding journey so special.
Suzy, Halstead
Although not a Bride to be, I had a wonderful time helping my friend chose her dress. Very hospitable, friendly and enjoyed the choccies and wine! Will be back when my big day comes!
Andrea, Halstead
Wonderful experience. Loved all the dresses you had. Thank you for your time and hospitality
Laura & Chris, Essex
Also want to say a huge thank you for the exemplary service that you provided both myself and the Groom’s party in purchasing our wedding attire. My dress was absolutely fabulous and the service that I received throughout the period from purchase to the wedding day itself was really exceptional. We have both and will continue to recommend your business to our friends and family.
Katie & Lloyd, Essex
We just wanted to thank you for the beautiful bridesmaids dresses and the whole ‘Abigail’s Collection’ experience. The service you provide is second to none; the appointment service ensures the atmosphere is very relaxed, you provided follow up calls – all of which made the experience really pleasurable. The bridesmaids looked fabulous we had so many compliments.
Steve & Mandy, Colchester
A huge thank you to you all for everything that you did for us and our bridal party – we think we scrubbed up pretty well on the day even if we do say so ourselves! We were so pleased with the results and you to thank for that. Your service is nothing short of exceptional and we are so thrilled we found you – you made us feel so special and took such an interest. It really meant a lot – thank you!
Kelly, Witham
We can’t thank you enough for all of your help, care and attention for our special day. It truly was the best service we could have wished for, from everything from my beautiful dress, to the Menswear which was great & the fantastic bridesmaids dresses, we loved them all, thank you so much, with lots of love.
Laura, Colchester
I just wanted to say a big thank you for making the wedding dress shopping experience such a special one. After going to other bridal shops steeping into Abigail’s Collection was like a breath of fresh air. I felt so happy in my dress on Friday and I am so glad that you suggested I try it on my very first visit. The passion you have for your job and the personal service is very refreshing, thank you!
Nicola & Richard, Essex
Thank you so much for the special care and attention you all paid to make our day simply fantastic! Our Dads and Richards brother looked so very smart, the bridesmaids so pretty and Richard and I (if I do say so myself) so brilliant. We were very sad to take our clothes off at the end of the day (wink wink nudge nudge). My wedding dress was (is) amazing and made me feel like the most special person in the whole world! Abi your help and advice was outstanding and we wish you and the team a very successful future, much love.
Gemma, Chelmsford
On behalf of me and my bridesmaids I would like to thank you for the excellent service you provided. You created a child and relaxing atmosphere which made the whole process of finding bridesmaid dresses not stressful at all! A special thank you to Abigail and Lauren who were completely professional, friendly and very helpful. We had the perfect wedding day the sun was shining and everything ran through without a hitch.
Nic & Andy, Essex
As the card says just wanted to express our gratitude to you all for everything you did for us to get us ready for our wedding – I know I felt like a Princess and Andy didn’t look too shabby either! From the moment we stepped into Abigail’s Collection I just knew we would be getting all of the wedding attire with you and you didn’t disappoint!
Kate & Aaron, Essex
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did for Aaron and I in the run up to the wedding. Your personalised service certainly added a sense of specialness that all of the other wedding shops lacked. It was great to have someone who obviously took a great interest in everything to do with the wedding and have a girlie chat with while making one of THE most important decisions of the wedding!! I loved your service so much that as you know I made my sister in law come to see you for her wedding and she is loving every minute as well. Rob was also excellent went a lot further than probably most other 'shops' would to make sure everything was perfect and your bouquet on my wedding day made me cry! I have attached some photos of the myself, Aaron and the wedding party, especially some photos of the dress - which EVERYONE told me was spectacular (which it was!) and the suits which the men all looked very dashing in! Thank you so much again, you really made the whole experience stress-less and enjoyable as it should be.
Mr & Mrs Walker, Colchester
We would both like to thank you all for your help with my wedding dress and suit hire. The level of service you give your customers goes way beyond the call of duty. And your phone call the night before the wedding was an unbelievable touch..... I absolutely loved my dress & the Guys looked fabulous but my handsome Groom looked the best! We had the best day of our lives!
Becky & Jason, Colchester
Thank you very much for all of your help and friendly professionalism. The men’s suits looked absolutely stunning and my dress was the talk of the day! Everyone commented on how beautiful it was! I absolutely loved my dress in every possible way and my Bridesmaids also looked stunning.
Kelly, Essex
Just wanted to say thank you for making my day the most special day of my life by helping me find the perfect dress & accessories. Not just that but the care and support you've shown from the moment I came to your shop to the week before I was married. It truly made a difference to have people as enthusiastic as ourselves involved.
Kate & Rob, Essex
Thank you so much for all your help and advice with our dresses, we had a fantastic day and everyone loved the Bridesmaids colour. Your shop and service are wonderful and I thank you for making choosing my wedding dress so special.
Gemma and Felix
I wanted to thank you all for everything you did with sorting out the dresses for the wedding. They looked amazing and it was a wonderful day, thank you
Elizabeth
We would both like to say a quick thank you for now as the dresses looked great on our girls & they all had a fabulous time wearing them. We had a great memorable experience & so much fun. Everybody we've spoken to has complemented us on the choice of dresses, styles, colours which were beautiful. You delivered the highest quality standard for us & the service you have provided was exceptional. Everybody loved the dresses & the entire day. All our dreams & wishes came true for us on our wedding day & a part of that is because of you.
Mr and Mrs McDonnell
Thank you soo much to everyone who helped us out, especially Rob and Lauren. All visits to yourselves were enjoyable and each visit we were all made to feel special which was fantastic........ some companies treat you like just another ordinary everyday customer where as you remember why we're there and help to keep that feeling of excitement and remember it's our big special day we're planning for! We will definitely be recommending you!
Lauren
I came in last weekend for my first ever wedding dress fitting and I just wanted to thank everyone at Abigail’s for making it such a fab morning, I couldn't have hoped for more, the dresses were beautiful & Abi was absolutely brilliant & so helpful, so thank you & hope to see you again soon!
Jacky
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help on Saturday, I have not stopped thinking about my dress and can't wait to wear it again. I have been to so many bridal studios and yours was by far the best, there is a wonderful atmosphere at your shop, you made me feel comfortable and most of all you made it a wonderful experience.
Caroline & Steven
We would just like to say a huge thank you. There was no question that we would go to Abigail’s Collection – the service you give is 100% and you make us feel so unique and special that I would recommend you to everyone. Our wedding day was perfect in every way and the men and bridesmaids all looked wonderful.
Lisa
I just want to say thank-you for everything you did for me & my sister & my girls. The girls looked absolutely gorgeous and the wedding day was perfect, the weather, the setting, the family & friends that were there. The most import thing was me, (for once) I felt so perfect in my dress & my tiara this was down to you & you knowing what suited me. Everyone & I mean everyone said I looked absolutely stunning & most of all Richard said exactly the same. This made me feel really good about myself. Richard’s face was a picture as I walked in, it said it all. He & his party all looked very handsome in their suits thanks to Rob. I am pleased I was told about you because I don’t think I would have felt & looked as good as I did. You made me feel totally relaxed with our appointments the day I tried on my dress I remember we were all crying I didn’t feel rushed not pressured you are very caring in what you do. If you would like to post this on your web site I would be very happy for you to do so. You are now looking after one of my work colleagues too. Keep up the good work & best wishes.
Helen
This is just a quick email to say a huge thank you for all your help, guidance and support for our wedding on 3rd October. The bridesmaid’s dresses and men’s suits all looked absolutely fabulous, everything was exactly as we wanted it and so much more! We have only been back from honeymoon a few days but we have been inundated with calls and texts regarding our wedding day, and everyone has said how wonderful the day was and that everyone looked fantastic. I only wish we could do it all over again!!!! .... Looking at your website, I believe that congratulations is in order as well for your award. Most definitely well deserved! Should any of our friends or family be getting married I will definitely be recommending you for all their clothing needs!
Emma, Colchester
Just a message to say thank-you for a wonderful evening. It was so special and was a great way to start looking for dresses. My mum and I both felt it was very relaxing and we thank-you for being so enthusiastic and interested in my big day. Can't thank-you enough for such a lovely time (the whole 3 hours!!!!), you made it effortless and we want you to know you are doing a great job and show such good knowledge, understanding and above all enjoyment for the job. I felt like your first customer of the day, even though you said at the end I was the third!!!
Jo, Essex
I would like to thank you for all of your help towards my wedding day. The bridesmaids both looked gorgeous in their dresses. Amy (the youngest) asked if we can have the wedding day again - I would love too. We had a very special day, thanks for all your professionalism and enthusiasm.
Lucy, Essex
Just wanted to say thank you for making Saturday so special for my parents and myself. I had no idea I would find the day so emotional and you really helped me cope! Your professionalism, understanding and patience were much appreciated
Hugh & Sally, Colchester
I am writing to you on behalf of myself and my wife, Sally, to say thank you for all the attention, kindness and courtesy and professionalism that you have shown with regard to both our Daughters’ weddings and I believe that on both occasions you have offered a service that goes well beyond and above the call of duty. I know that both our Daughters have been extremely grateful and impressed by everything that you have done and certainly as far as the Gentlemen are concerned the service that we have received has been exemplary. Many heartfelt thanks for all your assistance
Louisa, Essex
I would like to express my deepest thank you to all at Abigail’s Collection for the exceptional service that you gave me and more importantly helping me find the dress of my dreams. I am extremely grateful for the professional yet friendly service you provided, you listened to me and made sure that I was a completely comfortable and happy at all times. The whole service provided was so organised and relaxing - you certainly took the stress out of this part of the wedding organisation.
Nicola, Essex
Lauren, Kirsty and Lisa were all very friendly and attentive which is really important. Some other shops were far less friendly and seemed surprisingly uninterested in helping or giving opinions (others wanted to sell the dress within minutes of trying it on), in my opinion your teams approach is very good! Whilst I appreciate you must often be delicate with your views I think your balance of politeness and honesty is spot on!
Catherine, Essex
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful personal service throughout the whole wedding process. I was very blessed to spend such a lovely time in your capable hands and walk down the aisle in a sensational dress! The whole wedding went really smoothly and my guest and my husband loved the Bellice gown and so did I, with kind regards.
Alex, Essex
I just wanted to write and say that it has been a real pleasure buying my wedding dress with you. You have a beautiful range of dresses and the customer service you offer is the best I have experienced. The gift in the post was a lovely touch, thank you so very much.
Michelle, Witham
......the professionalism is second to none, you looked after myself, my mum and my five bridesmaids which is no easy task! The process wasn't at all stressful, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and was sad when it was all finished! You are by far the best wedding dress shop in Essex and I wouldn't have gone anywhere else, I recommend you to everyone!...I felt like a Princess on the day and lost count of the amount of people of people that commented on how beautiful my dress was.....
Lyndsey, Colchester
I would like to thank you for the wonderful service that I received at Abigail's Collection. Your level of service was always exceptional and nothing was too much trouble. Your professionalism was outstanding and I would like to thank you for all the time you spent with me and my bridesmaids helping me chose our dresses. I have received so many compliments about the beautiful colour of the 'seafoam' dresses. I am so upset that I will never get to wear my beautiful dress again, kindest regards and much gratitude.
Kelly, Colchester
I just want to say a huge thank you for making my day the most special day of my life by helping me find the perfect dress and accessories. Not just that but the support & care that you have shown from the moment I came to your shop to the week before I was married. It truly made a difference to have people who are as enthusiastic as ourselves, thank you.
Ian, (very proud Father of the Bride)
My Daughter was worried about choosing and getting her wedding dress in time. You removed all stress and turned it into a very enjoyable experience for her and my wife. They are now both very happy. Thank you.
Lou, Laura, Lorna, Nicola and Elaine, Essex
Thank you so much for your wonderful service & attention to detail, I really don't think I could have chosen all of the dresses without all of your help and support. We wish you so much success for the future, you all deserve it

Abigail and the staff were wonderful! I was made to feel very special and as though I was the only bride to be that they were looking after. I had been to a couple of other bridal shops and always felt rushed and as though I was just another potential sale. Even when I started to panic at my final dress fitting that I wouldn't be able to make it down the aisle and say my vows without turning into a blubbering wreck, Abigail was on hand to calm me and provide me with some reassuring words. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any bride to be and I already know that when it is my sister-in-law's (one of my bridesmaids) turn to get married, she will definitely calling upon Abigail's Collection, even though she lives in Hampshire!

I Knew the minute I met Abi and the team that they were true professionals. I was very worried about choosing my dress, but they made the whole experience so relaxed and I knew very quickly that I wanted to buy from there. When I tried on the dress that I got married in it was a moment I will never forget and I really feel that Abi felt the same about the dress we just clicked! I don't want to boast but I looked amazing on my wedding day and it's all down to Abi and ABigail's Collection, she did all my accessories too. Thank you Abi, you really deserve this award.

Abigail's service was exemplary, she made choosing my dress memorable and enjoyable with not a hint of stress in sight! Her welcoming and friendly nature was so refreshing, i would recommend her services to any of my friends or family. Abigail even called on numerous occasions to check proceedings even when her part was finished, with follow up calls and even a call to wish me luck the day before the wedding. I am so grateful to have met abigail as i can honestly say that she made my wedding. She made me feel like a princess and i believe that is what every bride desires.

Abigail's Collection was recommended to me by a friend. From the minute we were met at the door and throughout our consultation I was made to feel like the only Bride in the world. Abi is so enthusiastic and was so keen to ensure that I was happy. Shopping for my wedding dress was a very special time for me and Abigail's Collection really made it a very unique experience which is not seen in any other Bridal retailer I have visited. She really does deserve this award.

From the first time I went to Abigail's Collection I felt welcome and at home, nothing was too much trouble. From trying on every dress in her shop to the many return visits to make sure that everything was finished perfectly. Even the few days before the wedding she called me to make sure that there was nothing needed doing and to remind me to let the train out on my dress. This to me was the personal touch I had been looking for whilst searching for my dress. Would send every bride there if I could.

Their level of personal service is outstanding. The choice of dresses and accessories are fantastic and overall I can honestly say that of all my personal shopping experiences, Abigail's Collection is a cut above the rest. I would highly recommend Abigail not only on a personal level, but also on a professional one.

Abigail's Collection is fantastic. I lost my original dress and money to local wedding shop going bankrupt, Abigail and her staff took control, obtained my dress even though she did not stock that particular style. Abi is a genuine, lovely & very professional lady, who is so passionate about her profession.

Abigail's collection is by far the best wedding dress retailer i visited, excellent service and care all round, overall fantastic business.

Abi and her staff had a very calm, caring and professional manner. They were very supportive they would do as much as possible to accommodate us and kept in touch regularly. I would recommend all brides to be to visit.

Abigail's Collection provides a highly professional yet personal service in an innovative way that is both relaxing and reassuring. At a very stressful time in arranging a wedding this is the service that the bride and Groom need! Fantastic service and very high quality products, surroundings and staff.

The service Abigail's Collection provides from the initial visit to the dress collection is unique in comparison to other wedding dress retailers due to the private, client led appointments that ensure the service received is professional, special, relaxed, friendly and honest making the whole experience everything you imagine it to be.

Abigail's Collection is just how you imagine wedding dress shopping to be, a beautiful atmosphere, wine, chocolates and no pressure to buy. Her knowledge of what will work and how brides thinks is superb and she just wants everyone to find the right dress whether at her shop or not. The private appointments and separate rooms for grooms and bridesmaids are a great idea and I'd recommend it to anyone.

When I visited Abigail’s Collection Abi made me feel really relaxed and made it a really enjoyable evening. She was truly fantastic in every way, from giving great advice to making the mums feel included. They didn’t shut up all the way home saying how wonderful they thought it all was! The personal touch at this shop seriously makes ALL the difference.

Fantastic from start to finish. Highly professional and very efficient. Nothing was too much trouble and Abigail's Collection really made me feel special unlike some other bridal shops I had visited.
