Hi Fatima,
I hope you are well and had a lovely time with your family and friends over Christmas and New Year. I am so sorry it has taken me so long say thank you, but married life has been rather hectic. My husband managed to break his leg (playing rugby) after only 2 weeks of marriage so I have been nurse, chauffeur, cook and cleaner as well as wife and mother! He will still be in a cast and on crutches when we go on honeymoon to Las Vegas next week!
I have attached a couple of pictures of me in my fabulous dress and tiara! We had a wonderful day and everyone admired the dress and most importantly I felt absolutely fabulous! Thank you for all your help and support in helping me look and feel so special on the biggest day of my life.
Thank you again

It was just perfect, like a dream come true!

Dear Fatma
I just wanted to let you know how delighted I was with the dress purchased from your shop.
It was, if you remember, the first dress I tried on, the one you had picked out as suiting me well. You really made a great choice, as did L buying the dress - pink was fab!!
I felt amazing waering it and my husband and guests certainly agreed it was the right choice.
I will definitely be recommending you as the first choice for wedding dresses to friends in the future.
best wishes

Dear Fatma,
Just a not to say a very big thank you for all the help you gave me with my wedding dress. I had some lovely comments made about it and I felt so comfortable and special wearing a dress so lovely. We had the most wonderful wedding day shared with our family and friends. Amy was the perfect bridesmaid and everyone remarked how beautiful her dress looked and how well she carried out her duties. She loved very minute of the day.
The sun shone, the choir sang, the flowers were stunning abd we have some very cherished memories of our special day.
Our honeymoon in Barbados was a dream come true and we are now settling down to married life together.
Would you also thank Lance and your 'girls' for their guidance and help.
with kind regards

Hi Fatma,
I apologise for the late reply, I've been meaning to email ever since we got back from Honeymoon 4 weeks ago. Thank you so very much for everything you did for me and I absolutely love my dress, it's the best ever.
We're moving to Australia and there is lot of things to get ready, so instead of dropping a photo in to you as I had planned, I'm going to have to email it instead.
I attach my favourite photo of the wedding to this email, what a wonderful day.
Please keep doing what you are doing, it is fantastic work.
Kind regards

Hi,
I promised to send you some pictures of Lindsay’s wedding. As you can see the dress looked amazing and she managed JUST to fit into it, thanks to your little girl that came and helped us on the Saturday.
Thank you for being so brilliant the last few months and would always recommend you to anyone that is getting married.
Thank you again.
With love (from a very proud mummy)

It was so lovely that you came to celebrate the wedding with us. We hope that you enjoyed the evening and we apologise that we didn't have much time to talk with you personally as the time seemed to fly by!
Sharon's dress was amazing. She looked like and felt like a princess. The photos show what an amazing job you did in advising and helping the choice of the dress to suit Sharon perfectly. And, of course, the mother-of-the-bride looked lovely too!
Thank you so much. You made the wedding dress shopping an enjoyable experience. We always felt like we were going over to see a friend when we came in for fittings etc.
Please send our regards on to Sarah-Jane as she was absolutely fantastic!!!
Please stay in touch - Sharon won't need another wedding dress but you are both very special people and we would love to keep in touch.

Dear Fatma.
just a short note to say a very big thank you!
My dress for the 'big day' was absolutely spectacular and was everything I could have ever wanted, not to mention the bridesmaid, who looked just beautiful, and my mother - everyone agreed she stole the show!
Now I just need to invent an occassion to wear the whole ensemble all over again...
Again, thank you for everything you did - I could not have asked for better help and guidance!
Lots of love

Hi Fatma,
Hope you're well. I'm now back and settled into work after a truly amazing wedding day.
I just wanted to send you a couple of photo's but when we have our wedding album I'll come and have a cup of tea and we can go through them. The dress was absolutely stunning and went down a storm with all our friends. If only you'd been there to hear the gasp as I walked through the doors!!
Love

Please find attached pictures of my beautiful veromia wedding dress..
I had real trouble finding a dress with the wow factor. All the dresses I tried were pretty but none made me feel like a princess until I found veromia.
I really want to thank you for your service, it was fantastic. You told me I must try this dress and I did, and I am so glad.
I walked out of the fitting room and both mums who had come with me burst out in tears, finally I had found the one.
I love my wedding dress and could not have imagined feeling like more of a princess.
Everybody on the day commented on how wonderful it was and how it really suited the venue.
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get in contact but I felt I must send you some photos of how the dress looked on the day.
Thank you so much
yours sincerely

Rebecca September 2010

Dear Fatma
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for my wedding dress. Each time I came into your shop you were very welcoming and made me feel like I was the only one in the room, by listening to my needs and producing some stunning dresses. The service was excellent and this was one of the reasons I was drawn to my dress.
You really know how to make people feel welcome and like a princess, just like every bride should feel before their big day, and the extra touches that you provided made it an outstanding service. From dealing with all the emotions a bride feels before the big day with ease, through supplying tissues, to having fake flowers to show what the final look will be on the day, as well as walking arm in arm with me around the room to show me what it will look like to give me away, as my Mum couldn’t be there for my final fittings.
The dress was wonderful and I was over the moon with it, I felt like a million dollars in it and it was so easy to wear all day. As well as the tiara/veil and jewellery, it didn’t feel like I had anything on my head, they were so lightweight and completed the look.
Many thanks

Hi,
Pietro and I would just like to thank you for the care and attention you gave me in selecting the perfect gown for our special day. Our wedding day was perfect from beginning to end, no one had seen 'the dress' so it was a surprise for everyone and they all loved it, but most importantly Pietro loved it.
I would like to say to anyone embarking on their journey to find 'the perfect dress' to look no further than Sofi Designs.
I was terrified, the thought of dressing up in a pretty dress resorted me to tears.
Your husband sat me down and gave me a drink & a tissue, you gave me a big hug and gently got to know me whilst I composed myself. Even writing this fills me with the emotion I felt on that day and as corny as it may sound my eyes are filled with tears - you are the most amazing lady with a true gift and a warm heart.
I loved my dress, veil, tiara and jewellery, each one complimenting the other, and I felt so comfortable and alive on the day.
There is not a word that expresses my gratitude to you enough, you will always have a special place in my heart. We wish you and your family all the very best.
Thankyou
Pietro & Kim November 2009

Hi Fatma

Thanks again
