The One I Love

I honestly don’t know where to begin because my experience with Lorren was exceptional from start to finish. My sister lives in Australia but was coming home to Ireland for her wedding, and everything had to be organised quickly. Lorren didn’t just help she took complete care of us. She ordered the bridesmaid dresses from America, kept me updated on delivery, and made sure the exact style we wanted arrived in plenty of time for the Irish wedding.

I live in Dublin and have a very busy schedule, yet she worked around me with such patience and understanding. I also have a skin condition, and she altered the dress several times to make sure I felt comfortable, confident, and fully myself. She was warm, friendly, and genuinely kind throughout the type of person who instantly puts you at ease.

Then came the moment that really showed how special she is. The day before the wedding, the bridesmaids’ shoes still hadn’t arrived — only one pair had made it. Instead of letting us panic, Lorren took the shoes we did have and added matching bows in the exact colour of the dresses so we would all look coordinated. It was such a thoughtful, creative solution, and it made all the difference. It’s the small details like this the things she notices and fixes without being asked that show how dedicated and talented she truly is.

I usually dread fittings, but Lorren completely changed that for me. She made me feel relaxed, hyped me up, and turned something stressful into something I genuinely enjoyed. She has a gift for making people feel seen, supported, and beautiful.

Lorren goes far beyond the extra mile. She is adaptable, thoughtful, and incredibly skilled at what she does. I’m so grateful for her, and I would recommend The One I Love to absolutely anyone. She deserves every bit of recognition for the heart and care she puts into her work.

I was one of the bridesmaids, and because I live in Sligo, work full‑time, and have a little one at home, I knew from the start that I wouldn’t be able to travel for multiple fittings. I could only make it down once, so I had my measurements taken in Sligo instead. Unfortunately, they were completely off, and when my dress arrived it was far too big on me.

I’m only 5’1”, so the fit really mattered, and I was honestly worried it couldn’t be fixed in time. But she was so calm and reassuring from the moment she saw it. In such a short turnaround, she managed to reshape and alter the dress perfectly, making it look like it had been tailored just for me. I couldn’t believe how beautifully it turned out.

She also created a matching shoulder piece for my dress so I would blend in with the rest of the bridal party, even though my situation was a bit more complicated than everyone else’s. It was such a thoughtful touch and made me feel completely included.

What meant the most was how understanding she was about my limited availability. She worked around my schedule without any fuss, even though I could only be there once. Her kindness, patience, and skill made the whole experience so much easier than I ever expected.

I’m genuinely grateful for everything she did. The One I Love is exceptional — not just in her work, but in how she treats people.

If you want, I can create one that’s more emotional, more formal, more chatty, or even one that sounds like someone older or younger.

I attended a wedding recently where The One I Love provided the bridal party dresses, and I feel compelled to share my experience. I wasn’t part of the bridal party just a guest but the kindness and professionalism I received would make you think I was family.

Just as the ceremony was about to begin, my dress ripped at the church. It was every guest’s worst nightmare. I was completely distressed, embarrassed, and convinced I would have to sit through the wedding trying to hide the damage. The bride’s family contacted her, and without a moment’s hesitation and on the 22nd of December, no less she came straight out to the church.

She arrived calm, warm, and reassuring, and within minutes she had my dress perfectly repaired, right there on the spot. Her skill was incredible, but what meant even more was her compassion. She treated me with such dignity and care at a moment when I felt mortified. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy the ceremony and the entire day without another worry.

I wasn’t even her customer, yet she showed up for me as if I were the bride herself. That level of dedication is rare, and I will never forget it. If this is how she treats a guest in distress, I can only imagine the comfort and confidence she gives to every bride and bridal party she works with.

The One I Love is truly exceptional. I would recommend her to anyone looking for not just beautiful dresses, but a person with a heart of gold behind them.

A Truly Exceptional Experience Went Above and Beyond in Every Way

As the Mother of the Groom, I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible care, professionalism, and genuine kindness we received from The One I Love. Our wedding was planned at very short notice — engaged in late June, and with the big day on the 22 of December 2025 and yet nothing was ever too much trouble.

We had six bridesmaids, and the dresses were ordered barely two months before the wedding, but you would never have known we were working against the clock. Every fitting was handled with calm reassurance, and every alteration was completed with such precision and pride. She even hand‑sewed matching shoulder pieces onto each dress, creating a beautiful, cohesive look that made the girls feel so special.

What stood out most was her unmatched flexibility. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she accommodated fittings at any hour — early mornings, late evenings whatever it took to make sure every bridesmaid felt comfortable and confident. That level of dedication is rare, and we will never forget it.

But the moment that truly showed her heart was on the wedding day itself. A family member’s dress ripped at the church a nightmare scenario for any family. Without hesitation, and on the 22nd of December, she came straight out to the church and repaired the dress on the spot. Her kindness, skill, and willingness to drop everything saved the day and allowed us all to relax and enjoy the ceremony.

The One I Love is more than a bridal shop it is a place of genuine care, craftsmanship, and compassion. We are forever grateful for everything she did to make our day perfect. I would recommend her to any family without a moment’s hesitation.

If you want, I can also create a shorter version, a more emotional version, or one that highlights the bridesmaids more.

I cannot recommend Lorren at The One I Love highly enough. From beginning to end, she went above and beyond to create my dream wedding dress, ensuring every detail was perfect. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her—she accommodated evening and weekend fittings and was always available at the other end of the phone to offer reassurance. Lorren’s talent and attention to detail is exceptional, and her dedication to customer service made the entire process enjoyable and completely stress-free. My dress was everything I had ever hoped for and more. Lorena incredible talent and attention to detail ensured my wedding dress was exactly how I imagined, tailored perfectly to me. Thank you, Lorren, for your warmth, professionalism, and outstanding craftsmanship. Five stars for everything—service, skill, and genuine care. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any bride seeking a bespoke wedding dress.
Her warmth and skill set her apart in the industry.

Lorren is incredibly calm, polite, knowledgeable and funny!
I had a lengthy journey but I looked forward to my appointments.
Lorren's love for her job, her expertise and skill is so incredibly obvious !

Loreen
Just wanted to say a big thank you for helping me get my bridesmaid dresses sorted out. I really appreciate your support and everything you did to make it easier. It means a lot! 💕

It was the best decision I made for my wedding getting my dress made with Lorren. Lorren is a true treasure and so talented at what she does. I had a vision in my head of the wedding dress I dreamed of for years. I visited over 10 bridal shops and they had nothing close to what I wanted. I felt like nobody truly got what I wanted. I wanted a royal or regal look with lace. Lorren was the first person to actually listen to what I wanted and brought the dress from my head to reality. I had the ideas and she had the talent! I was really indecisive but she worked with me every step of the way and through the process, I felt comfortable making the final decisions (as she had the patience to try and test a couple of different options- without any judgement) I trusted her completely! She is a beautiful soul that makes you feel so at ease, whilst still guiding you with her professional judgement and experience. She honestly went above and beyond for me and she did it with such heart, kindness, passion and true talent. I knew she genuinely was making a dress that worked for me, my body shape, my height etc. She was so knowledgable on things I never even knew existed. I had so many compliments on my dress that it was so striking and perfect for me. People who knew me the best said it was a ‘Katie’ dress. The dress was literally made for me! I absolutely loved it. The quality of the material and sewing was phenomenal. Getting your dress made is a nerve wrecking process as you don’t know what the final product will be like, but you are in safe hands with Lorren and I knew that from the moment I met her. She also made my hen dress and altered my wedding PJS and had them steamed for me when I collected my wedding dress!! Thanks so much to Lorren, the absolute best (&more) in the business 🤍

Lorren provided such a lovely, personalised experience for my sister's bridal party. She is so nice and accommodating. She tailored my dress specifically for ease of breastfeeding which was no easy task on a one shoulder dress. Couldn't compliment her more!!!! Thanks for everything 🤍

From the minute myself and my friends entered The One I Love shop we were at home. Lorren was a dream, so kind and passionate about her dresses and most of all making sure I felt comfortable and beautiful! I can't recommend this shop enough, the range of dresses are amazing and Lorrens costumer service is unmatched! Thank you Lorren x

With 6 weeks to go to my best friends wedding, my bridesmaid dress was too small, I had ordered it before I was pregnant. The bride ordered the dresses in her home town and the shop there could not accommodate a change in size before the wedding… it was looking pretty hopeless until
My sister told me about Lorren and her shop, The One I Love and to say I’m glad is an understatement!! Normally it would take much longer to get an alternative dress but she worked her magic and sourced the exact dress to fit me and my 8 month bump!
Forever grateful, thank you. 100% recommend The One I Love.

I highly recommend The One I Love! Not only do they have a great selection of dresses to cater to all shapes and sizes, but Lorren is so helpful and nothing is too much of an ask for her. She helped me get colours that weren't in store, and she also swapped sizes to help a last minute panic. I highly recommend. I can't wait to see the girls in their dresses next week!

We bought bridesmaid dresses at The One I Love. Lorren was so helpful. She went above and beyond to make us all feel comfortable and beautiful on the big day. We all loved our dresses and felt incredible on the wedding day thanks the great service. Lorren ensured that the dresses were perfect before we bought the dresses home. A couldn't imagine another shop caring as much about their customers.

I loved every minute of it, from picking out the dress to final fittings. Lorren was so helpful and accommodating even if I was late or last minute. I felt so special and I loved the dress from the minute I tried it on. Lorren listened to every anxious thought I had and helped me decide on what i needed and even suggested things I would never have thought of but were such a good idea at the end of the day. I would highly recommend her to everyone I know and I can't fault any part of my experience. Excellent service and a wonderful person.

This was the perfect place to go for bridesmaid dresses. They have every type, shape, material smd colour available. The girls were so helpful and friendly amd made the process easy. Lorren can also do the alterations in-house which is so helpful.

I was married recently and have to say my experience with the bridal shop The One I love was amazing. Lorren was very accommodating when it came to appointments. She was very approachable and kind always. She helped me greatly in choosing my bridemaid dresses. She also helped me source a veil for my own dress as well a clip for my hair. I have to say my experience with The One I Love was just outstanding. A very professional and fantastic service and I can only highly recommend Lorren to anyone who is engaged recently and planning a wedding.

Lorren and The One I Love are fantastic. I got my bridesmaid dresses here and from start to finish the service was brilliant. They have a massive range of dresses in different styles and colours, so you are bound to find one to suit. Lorren has a great eye for detail and is so professional and friendly and her alterations were perfect. I would highly recommend The One I Love.

My daughter went to Lorren for her wedding dress and while there I told Lorren that I couldn’t find anything for myself but explained what I was looking for. The next time we came back Lorren had a dress in mind which she then designed with bespoke features that were like nothing I have ever seen. It was the most beautiful dress I have ever worn. Lorren just seems to know what works with people and has a great eye for designing. I will be back again. Thank you so much Lorren, you are incredible at what you do and such a nice person along with that which makes it all such a wonderful experience with no stress or hassle.

This is an excellent service. Very stylish and elegant.

This boutique was incredible.5 star service from start to finish.

The most beautiful bridesmaid dresses from quality,comfort and tailoring. Very reasonably priced. My fussy bridesmaids were fitted into those dresses like a glove.

My daughter who was 4 years old was also dressed by this boutique. She loves all things princess and she most certainly felt like a princess on my wedding day. Actually she thought it was her day🤣

I highly recommend this boutique to any bride. You won't find better....believe me I looked!!!

Professional kind convenient. facilited out of hours service and dresses were ready In good time.

Thank you

I traveled to Lorren to get a dress for my brothers wedding as I'd seen such great reviews, im a plus size girl and was dreading the thought of what I was going to wear and how I would look in the photos.
The minute I walked into the shop Lorren put me at ease, I was encouraged by the selection of styles available to me, something any plus size person will know is the toughest part of shopping for occasion wear.
Lorren brought me lots of different styles and colours to help us find the most flattering for my shape and she was very knowledgeable and honest about what suited and what didn't, ive had issues in other places where I have been told something looks great only to hate it in photos and realise I looked awful, this was never going to happen with Lorren, she was as invested as I was that I looked great on the day no matter how many dresses I had to try on.
To my surprise, Lorren chose a style for me that I never would have thought I could pull off, but I had to admit I loved how I felt in it and could move easily for dancing (always a bonus), it fit perfectly and flattered and made the most of my shape.
I will 100% be going to Lorren for any other occasions with absolute confidence that I will look great in whatever I get
Best service from start to finish, a real personal touch and genuine care in what she does.

Where do i start. I stumbled across the one I love in ballinlough in co roscommon online. I decided to go for a little visit for my bridesmaid dresses and fell in love with them. Loreen was amazing to deal with, and anytime worked for an appointment which was brilliant. So flexible. She also made my little girls amazing junior bridesmaid dress to match the bridesmaid dresses and she looked and felt a million dollars. That wasnt the end tho for me as when i got my wedding dress in a different shop as i didnt know at the time loreen did brides dresses it was a disaster. It was ordered in the wrong size and didnt fit. with little time left i mentioned it to loreen and asked if she could help. Well without a doubt she did with 2 dresses and loreen help i had my dream dress. She is amazing. This spot is a little gem.

Loren was absolutely fantastic from our first visit to 'The One I Love' until we collected our dresses. She was so helpful, nothing was any trouble. She was so accommodating. We were so delighted with our bridesmaid dresses and flowergirl dresses. Loren had a fantastic selection. She was very friendly and welcoming anytime we came up to the shop. Would highly recommend a visit to 'The One I Love'!

Loren is a dream to work with beautiful dresses very accommodating with appointments and very reasonably priced

Lorren is truly amazing! I got my wedding dress and my bridesmaids dress in her shop. She added beautiful lace sleeves onto the dress I ordered from her.
She is a wonderful lady who works above and beyond! She made this bride very happy!

Thank you Lorren!

I can't recommend Lorren enough.
She went above and beyond for me and my bridesmaids.
I got the most stunning bridesmaid dresses in her shop , I got so many compliments about how stunning the style and colour was and how they never seen bridesmaid dresses like it before.
I was stressed leading up to the wedding and Lorren really went above and beyond , she done all the fittings for the bridesmaids around their schedules.
And also done the fittings to my wedding dress. My dress fit like a glove.
All my friends that have got engaged . I have highly recommend lorren and her stunning shop.

Lorren was amazing from beginning to end !!
Cannot recommend her enough.
I had girls travelling from dublin and Scotland, and she fit them to suit their availability witch took a lot of stress off my mind.

Lorren even delivered the dresses to my home a few days before the wedding.

Myself and the girls were more than happy with the dresses. They were amazing.

Lorren is so easy to deal with and and very caring and kind.
Notting was too much to ask.

?The One I Love? shop Ballinlough is a really amazing shop.
I feel that it is a real hidden gem in the west of Ireland.
They stock a huge selection of both bridesmaids and wedding dresses.

From the first appointment I had there Lorren the owner was great, she really made me feel at ease and was never pushy which I really appreciated.

I purchased my four Dessy bridesmaid's dresses and my second Wedding dress from "The One I love" and I also purchased my beautiful ?G westerleigh? wedding shoes.

Lorren also designed and made my mothers "mother of the bride" dress.

Again she was super accommodating and understanding of my Mothers needs.
She accommodated appointment times that suited us both and always made us feel welcome.

Lorren also did all the alterations required for my bridesmaid's dresses and they turned out absolutely beautiful. She is a very talented seamstress, all dresses fitted flawlessly .


I would recommend Lorren and ?The One I love? to any future brides, and I'm so glad I chose them to be part of my wedding

I purchased my 3 bridesmaid dresses & my flower girl dress form Lorren in the One I Love. She was so helpful from the first day we met. She went out of her way to accommodate us & any requests we had. The dresses were beautiful on the bridesmaids & the flower girl looked like a princess! I would highly recommend Lorren.

I was looking for the dress for my friend's wedding. So I'm extremely happy that I found this cosy, beautiful salon with the really wide range of wedding, bridesmaids and festive dresses. Lorren is very professional, kind, friendly, helpful and just nice person. I can guarantee that she will give you the best advice for your dream dress. So thanks a million Lorren and Laura for your help and for my beautiful dress, girls you are the best!!!

Lorren was in charge of my alterations as I got my dress in another shop. Lorren was great and very easy to talk to when it came to different fittings. She made sure I was comfortable and happy with everything. She let me try on different veils, hair pieces etc. She had to do a lot of work with the top part of the dress which is greatly appreciated and was perfect on the day. Lorren was flexible with appointments and even helped with the veil when I decided to wear my moms in the end so it would match better. I highly recommend Lorren to everyone and the dressses she has in stock are stunning. She even dropped the dress up to the house personally (5 mins away) and showed the family how to do the bustle which was a great learning experience for them all.

Lorren is just fabulous. The One I Love is totally worth the drive to find any colour or style bridesmaid dress. I had a blush colour theme in mind and wanted my bridesmaids to be comfortable. They chose a dress and Lorren matched the colour. The dress they chose was from her TrueBride collection. Lorren added buttons to the back of the dress as well as a cowl to make it just fabulous. Her patience and expertise made me feel so at ease. She also was happy doing last minute alterations as one of my bridesmaids lived abroad. Everything was perfect. Thank you for your patience and service Lorren, I cannot recommend you enough.

I purchased my bridesmaids dresses from Lorren, and I can honestly say the level of service we received was second to none. From start to finish, Lorren was an absolute dream to work with. I had 5 girls, one being heavily pregnant & the other a junior bridesmaid. They were beyond delighted with their dresses, and felt absolutely amazing on the day. I have, and will continue to recommend Lorren to any future brides I know.

There are no words that could possibly describe how amazing Lorren is at the one I love dream dresses. Not only did she supply me with the most amazing dresses during the Rose of Tralee festival. She gifted me a beautiful white dress that I wore for night two after our wedding day. She made sure each dress fitted and if not she would make sure it was altered to perfection. Lorren you are such an amazing person and I am so happy I got to meet and work alongside with you ???? you deserve this award because you would go above and beyond for anyone, a heart of gold ?? I can't wait to visit your shop soon and definitely one I love dream dresses deserves so many votes ????

From the moment I met lorren I felt very comfortable, lorren is truly gifted at what she does,she makes you feel so special,anytime I contacted lorren she was so giving of her time and was so detailed in her response, it was always so easy to book appointments.

I got both my wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses with lorren I had no real idea what I wanted and lorren guided me every step of the way with great patience and such a positive vibe.

I recommend the one I love so highly,I couldn't of asked for a better bridal shop to help me in choosing the most important dress and lorren should be so proud of how great she is doing,????????

I can not recommend Lorren @ The One I Love highly enough!!
All the dresses were absolutely stunning, my own dress was altered to perfection. Thanks to a recommendation from Lorren did 2 of the bridesmaids find their ideal dresses.
Lorren was so helpful and accommodating with everyone in the bridal party, including groom and MOB with last minute alterations. She is a very calming and caring presence to be around on the run up to the wedding.
The One I Love should be top on the list to visit for brides, their bridesmaids and flower girls.

Lorren is absolutely amazing! I wasn't sure what type of dress I wanted at all as we were having a very small wedding and I didn't want a white dress, but still wanted "bridal". I went in to see Lorren and she asked me some questions about my ideas and pulled out several beautiful dresses for me to try on. I loved different aspects of each and Lorren then designed me my own completely unique dress! She carefully brought together the different aspects I loved to create the dress of my dreams. I had a few fittings while the dress was being created and in each booking Lorren made sure I was happy with everything and suggested tweaks here and there to make it even better. Even on the last fitting she asked if I wanted any final little changes but it was perfect.
On the day of the wedding the dress was easy to put on by myself and was comfortable to wear all day.
Nothing was too much effort, she really went above and beyond and I can't recommend The One I Love highly enough! Totally incredible for friendly service, value and quality.

Lorren was so helpful and nothing was a problem for her. She was always so accommodating, welcoming and really knowledgeable when it came to helping us to choose a style to suit everyone.

I cannot recommend Lorren highly enough. 'The One I Love' is a special find and Lorren is a gem herself! I had 4 bridesmaids, 2 overseas and one living in Dublin so I was worried how I was going to co-ordinate things. Lorren made the whole process stress-free and made sure the girls were comfortable in their dresses and of course that the dresses arrived on time. She also did the alterations which was great. Lorren really went above and way beyond her duty to make sure the dresses were perfect - thank you! She is such a pleasure to work with and is so responsive to any queries. Thanks again, Deirdre & Juliyan

From the moment myself and my bridesmaids entered Lorren's fab store in Ballinlough, we were made feel so welcome, relaxed and at home. There was never any hard sell, and Lorren's only priority was ensuring that each member of my bridal party would feel comfortable, confident and stunning in their dresses. Lorren felt much more like an old friend than a supplier, and she went above and beyond in so many ways to make sure everything was perfect. Ordering my bridesmaids dresses from The One I Love was one of the best decisions I made throughout the whole of the wedding planning process, and the service from Lorren was simply amazing.

I had the most amazing experience with Lauren during the preparation for our wedding. From a mere conversation about what my vision was for our two junior bridesmaids, she created the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen in a wedding party,each dress was made to perfection and each one was slightly different to suit the age and style of the girls. They absolutely stole the show! Nothing was a problem for Lauren,no matter how last minute any idea was,she just pulled everything together and given we all came down with covid 2 weeks before the wedding she pulled out ALL the stops to make us feel amazing on the day and indeed the lead up to it.The One I Love is an fantastic local business,the attention to detail is superb and I have already booked Lauren for my bridesmaid dress for a friends wedding in Toronto this Autumn!

Lorren was an absolute dream to work with. She was patient, kind, creative, insightful, professional and genuinely caring. I had only a rough idea of what I wanted when I first spoke to Lorren and she helped me narrow down options and find my perfect dress. Her work is flawless and she was so accommodating with fittings and viewings. We planned and had our wedding in the height of the pandemic and working with Lorren was seamless and easy, she sent regular pictures and video updates of the dress and different laces she was adding. She added details I requested without hesitation, she even had each of my bridesmaids and my mother sew a piece of lace onto my dress and took pictures of the process. It's a beautiful memory I'll treasure forever and I really appreciate her suggesting we do it. I couldn't have been happier with my dress, it was perfect and I couldn't recommend Lorren and The One I Love enough.

From start to finish Lorren was so helpful she knew exactly what I was looking for in bridesmaid dresses. I was so delighted with them she worked around my budget also. I would highly recommend Lorren.

A huge thank you to Lorren and her team for creating such a special experience when choosing a gown, this combined with their quality selection, chosen with their customers special requirements in mind makes this a strong recommendation. Also great for alternations.

Lorren made me the most beautiful dress I've ever seen! I'm so happy with it. It made the day, I felt so comfortable and gorgeous. And my bridesmaids dresses were divine! They were like floaty angels at my side, complimented my dress perfectly. And she was so sweet and helpful through the whole process, she understood exactly what I wanted, and she made it happen. She made me feel like an absolute princess on the day!
