Blue & Sixpence is an award-winning bridal boutique located in Liverpool offering professional, kind, friendly advice and gorgeous wedding gowns at fantastic prices. The idea behind this innovative store was born from experience. Owner Ali Hamilton says, “We wanted fabulous service, choice, style, fit and price, but just couldn’t find it.” On average, a gown takes 9,000 litres of water to make, consumes vast amounts of raw materials and resources before being shipped halfway around the world. “We knew we could do better,” Ali continues. Therefore, all the gowns stocked by Blue & Sixpence are new designer samples, meaning you save at least 50% compared to buying made-to-order.
The team also helps recent brides to sell their own gowns and boasts an impressive stock of stunning preloved dresses. Interest-free payment plans are now available, making the gowns even more affordable and sizes 8 to 32 are in stock, so whatever your shape, size, style or budget you can enjoy the relaxed and private bridal experience here.
We’ve partnered with Blue & Sixpence to offer a 10% discount off all gowns and accessories including discount stock throughout July and August (offer excludes commission gowns). To claim, pop into store and quote Your Cheshire & Merseyside Wedding at time of purchase.

The UK Hen & Stag Destinations Everyone’s Booking for 2026
Once dominated by big nights out and budget flights abroad, hen and stag parties in the UK are having a rethink, and things are now looking very different. Research suggests that pre-wedding celebrations could be completely sober as early as 2040, with groups instead embracing alcohol-free celebrations that they're more likely to remember. Also, rising travel costs, tighter schedules and a growing appetite for wellness experiences are pushing more groups to stay closer to home.
