Richard Designs has been based in England, in Ely, Cambridgeshire, since 1985. That is a lot of years of making dresses in one place.
The gowns below include Rosalind, Anika, Jean, Edie, Charis, Maya and Tarryn, and there is a short mini dress in the mix too, which is a good one to know about if you're planning a second look for the evening or a registry office. Mini dresses are easy to overlook when you're focused on the main gown, so we'd suggest trying it alongside the long dresses.
Pay attention to how each dress feels when you walk and sit in it, not only when you stand still in front of the mirror. A gown you'll wear for ten hours needs to work in motion, and trying it in the boutique is the only reliable way to find out. Take a few minutes to sit down, lift your arms and turn quickly, as you will on the day.
We also stock many of their veils, so ask whether a veil is on hand to try against a gown, since the way a veil frames your face can change how a neckline looks.
You might spot Rosalind, perfect for a spring wedding. Our in-store range changes, so the gowns below are the ones you can try now. Book an appointment, tell us the season and the venue, and we'll have time set aside for you to try them on.
