Designer Wedding Dresses in the Derbyshire Peaks
Welcome to Alexandra Anne bridal boutique in the beautiful village of Hathersage, Derbyshire.
We’re based just 30 minutes from Sheffield, and a bouquet's throw from some of the Hope Valley’s most famous sights. If you're in Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham or Derby, you can reach us in close to an hour after a glorious drive through the Peak District.
“I visited the shop and it was such an amazing experience. We were able to get the dress ordered, along with a veil and a shrug (needed for a winter wedding). The dress (Bronte, Sarah Seven) was perfect and I can't thank Jess and the team enough!”
“Jess and her team are so friendly, professional and knowledgeable and from my first appointment they went the extra mile to get to know me and my style.”
“The boutique is gorgeous and felt special from the outset. The dresses (and capes!) were beautiful and Jess was so knowledgeable about them and the bespoke possibilities.”
“I came on 2 weeks before my wedding in a bit of a panic as I'd decided my dress just wasn't me and I didn't feel comfortable.... You helped me find THE perfect jumpsuit.”
“It was an experience I will never forget, even down to the curated playlist just for me! I am so forever grateful to Jenny and cannot wait to wear my dress! I went to a few dress shops on my journey to find the dress and could not recommend this shop more!! The only place to find your dress!”
“Thank you, Jess, for helping me choose the most perfect dress for our wedding day in Santorini. I received so many compliments from guests and vendors who said they’d never seen a dress like it. I felt truly beautiful and can’t thank you enough.”
“Travelling over three hours from Newmarket, Suffolk, to try it on was a little nerve-racking, but as soon as we arrived at the stunning setting and met Jenny, all nerves disappeared. The showroom was filled with the most beautiful dresses, and Jenny was so warm and welcoming, instantly putting me at ease. Mum and I left knowing we had found not only the perfect shop, but also my dream dress. We couldn’t wait for it to arrive after purchasing!”
“I said ‘yes to the dress’ on my first visit and completed my bridal look after another two visits – veil, and overdress included. Jess is calm, reassuring, so kind, and fun to be around. For someone which is very self-conscious and does not particularly like shopping, I felt so happy and confident!”
“I chose here based on excellent reviews. It wasn't particularly local to us (from Staffordshire) but we had lovely day trips visiting. The ladies were friendly, professional and helpful. They helped guide me and suggested ways of modifying my chosen dress to make it more 'me' and made the whole process really enjoyable.“
“The shop is beautiful, communication easy, set in lovely Hathersage where you can get a lush debrief coffee and cake after each appointment and stroll in the Peaks.“
“Had the most amazing wedding experience with Jenny and Jess at Alexandra Anne - they went the extra mile to make sure that finding my perfect dress was not only smooth and stress-free, but also a lot of fun!“
“I felt like the girls were really on my side too as apposed to trying to just sell me things, from looking for the right dress to fit my description, to giving me their advice and opinions on accessories or shoes and hair choice, in a completely natural way.”
“I was a little nervous and wasn’t expecting to walk away with my dress on the day but Jenny and Amy were so lovely and relaxed and they made it a really enjoyable experience.”
“I absolutely loved wearing the dress on the day and the guests were obsessed with the cape ... ! This was by far the best bridal boutique I visited and was so worth making the trip from London.”
“You knew exactly what to choose in terms of the dress and veil and it was absolutely perfect”
“Jess and the girls at Alexandra Anne were one of key reasons I went for the dress that I did. They were so knowledgeable and caring and made me feel amazing. I couldn't recommend them enough!!”
'“Such a lovely and welcoming environment. The team knew exactly what my style was and helped my find my perfect wedding jumpsuit.”
“What can I say…the best bridal shop there is. My experience here I will treasure forever.
A good friend of mine in the industry recommended Jess as the only place to go, from the first meeting she understood me, my vision for my dress and my wedding and put together the most beautiful dress I could have ever wished for.”
“Oh how I will miss travelling over to this gorgeous shop and seeing Jess who is beautiful inside and out. At my first appointment we had the shop to ourselves to browse the rails and try on, and never felt rushed or pressured."
“I cannot recommend the team at AA enough! I was made to feel so comfortable, relaxed and like I was really listened to."
“The most amazing feel good experience with Jess and Jenny at Alexandra Anne. Treated like an absolute princess all of the way through."
“The most relaxed, special experience - particularly the VIP appointment!"
“Jess was incredible from start to finish and made my experience of trying on the most stunningly beautiful wedding dresses something I will never forget!"
“Alexandra Anne had been recommended to me by a friend. I had a great experience with both Jenny and Jessica. I went for a fitting with my mum and they were great, suggesting options and making the experience really enjoyable."
“Where to begin! I can honestly say that my experience from start to finish with Alexandra Anne was fantastic. From the first appointment to the final fitting I felt so understood. Jess - you are magic!"
“Instantly when I walked into Alexandra Anne bridal and met Jess I knew I was going to have a different experience to what I had, had in other dress shops."
“The experience of getting my wedding dress at Alexandra Anne was 100% the best out of all the wedding planning! I wish i had an excuse to still go back there and i it's definitely mine and my mum's favourite day out! Jess made us feel so at ease and was great at encouraging me to try on dresses i perhaps wouldn't have picked, which is what i ended up with too! Would recommend in a heartbeat.” - Steph, 2022
“I could not recommend Alexandra Anne more highly. Jess put so much thought and care into the purchase and fitting of my dress from the very start until the very end of the process, and we were delighted with the outcome.
The boutique has lots of choice, and Jess is hugely patient and highly knowledgeable about dressmaking and the bridal designers with whom she works. She offered tailor-made suggestions and alterations to ensure that my dress was unique and just right for me.” - Rebecca, 2022
“I had tried on about 40 different styles at various places and thought I would never find one I liked. After hours spent looking at inspiration online I came across a Rembo Styling dress that I loved and found Alexandra Anne sold it. I live in Manchester so it was quite a way to go but it was so worth it! I bought the dress of my dreams and honestly there were so many beautiful styles I could have picked a few. If you want something a bit different this is the place.” – Emma, 2022

“The most wonderful bridal shop you could wish for. Jess made the whole experience so fun, relaxed and enjoyable and I love how creative she is with all the extra accessories and touches that other bridal shops didn't seem to have.“
