We understand that your wedding dress is the most important dress you will ever wear, so whatever you’re feeling about wedding dress shopping, please don’t worry … we are welcoming and friendly. We love that our job is about helping women of all ages, shapes and sizes to feel absolutely sensational. We are so excited to share our styling creativity with you and can’t wait to hear your ideas and see your favourite dress pics. Limelight has over 300 wedding dresses, so whatever your style, budget or time frame, we’ll have fun finding your dress together.
So what can you expect from your Limelight Experience ?
A warm welcome and a little tour of the shop so you feel at home straight away. A glass of bubbly (or a cuppa) while we chat about your wedding adventures so far. Our boutique is specially arranged so you can easily see the shapes of the dresses, the fabrics and the price ranges. We begin by trying four or five dresses that you are first drawn to. Your stylist asks you how you feel in each dress and listens carefully to everything you say. Drawing all your thoughts together, she suggests other dresses to try until that tingly feeling tells you this is THE ONE! Next comes the celebration. Falling in love with your wedding dress is a magical, memory making moment involving laughter, bubbly, lots of pictures and our special lovelock bridge tradition.
Our Award Winning Wedding Shop
Finding your wedding dress makes a memory that will always stay with you. We chose our beautiful bridal shop specially with this in mind. That tingly feeling, as you walk down our catwalk in THE DRESS, is a little preview of how you’ll feel walking down the aisle on your wedding day. Limelight was once a Methodist chapel so the vaulted ceilings and crystal chandeliers make it the perfect setting for this unforgettable finding your dress moment. At Limelight you can buy your wedding dress with confidence because we are proud members of the Retail Bridalwear Association. RBA stores meet the highest standards of service in the industry and offer their clients the Bridal Protection Scheme.

Celebrating with Lovelocks
Limelight’s finding-your-dress-celebration is our very favourite thing! It involves hugs, laughter and tissues. We pour the bubbly while you write a little message on a heart shaped lovelock. Everyone goes out onto our special Lockwood Bridge… more laughter, more hugs and lots of photos as you attach your lock to our silver railings… your key is a keepsake of the day you found your wedding dress.

The Lockwood bridge
We named our celebration bridge after our much loved Dad, and Grandad, Frank Lockwood. He not only worked with us at Limelight but also with my brother and sister in law in their local family business, Sleep Matters Beds, Honley. https://www.sleepmattersbeds.co.uk
Frank was still helping us look after both shops when he turned 90! We dedicated the Limelight Bridge to his memory with our love and gratitude. Read the full story in our blog:
