My bridesmaids and I had an appointment with Tasha last weekend, and from the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. We were warmly welcomed with a glass of Prosecco, which was a lovely and thoughtful gesture. The boutique itself is beautifully decorated, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere that immediately put us at ease.
As someone who had never tried on a wedding dress before, I was feeling quite nervous. However, Tasha took the time to sit down with us and have a friendly, informal chat about what I envisioned for my special day. It felt more like a conversation among friends, which helped to calm my nerves and made the experience all the more enjoyable.
Being open-minded, I invited my bridesmaids to select dresses for me to try on. I tend to be quite particular and often feel uncomfortable stepping outside my comfort zone, so I hadn’t expected to find the dress—especially as this was the very first boutique we visited. To my surprise, the very first dress I tried on turned out to be the one. Tasha styled it perfectly with various veils and accessories, effortlessly showcasing options that complemented the dress beautifully.
Every gown at 1840 was stunning, but I am absolutely thrilled with my choice. I cannot wait to wear it on my wedding day. A heartfelt thank you to Tasha for making the experience so memorable. Your kindness, expertise, and genuine enthusiasm made all the difference. You are truly an asset to your profession.

1840 was such a beautiful dress shop to go to and gave such an amazing experience! Tasha was so friendly and incredibly helpful, she could see exactly what I was visioning and found the perfect dress! I felt so comfortable in the shop trying on loads of dresses, they gave me all the help I needed and so much more. Carrie the owner came in and helped me choose too because I was too indecisive and they were so patient and acted more like friends! ☺️
Could have a laugh with them and just talk about anything really, thank you so much for all you did and for helping me find the most perfect dress for the best day of my life! 🥰

During my appointment at 1840, I was made to feel comfortable straight away. The whole atmosphere put me at ease, and the experience felt relaxed, personal, and completely stress-free. A huge part of that was thanks to Tasha. She was so down to earth, incredibly knowledgeable, and just genuinely lovely to be around. She took the time to really listen to what I wanted, and her expertise made the whole process smooth and enjoyable.
I found my perfect wedding dress here, but even more than that, I left feeling confident and truly cared for. I can’t recommend 1840 — and Tasha — enough!

I have no experience when it comes to weddings - I've never been to one, so how fitting is it that the first I'll attend is my own!
I didn't know what to expect when I booked to look at wedding dresses, but was pleasantly surprised when I booked with 1840.
Tasha was lovely and couldn't have done more to make my guests and I feel comfortable. She shared in our excitement and made the experience one to remember. She could see the style of dresses I was choosing and that Madi Lane was a clear favourite. She let me know about the Madi Lane trunk show 1840 had coming up and booked me in to try on some of the new dresses.
When we came back for a second try on, she had picked out the type of dresses that she thought I'd like and she was spot on!
It was here that I found 'The one' and again Tasha shared in my excitement!
I'm so grateful for my experience with Tasha and although it has been a short and sweet experience - she has left me with happy memories of finding my wedding dress. She is very down to earth, warming and makes you feel 100% comfortable.
The environment of 1840 is gorgeous, also! Very relaxed, calm and comfortable.
Thank you Tasha and 1840 for a memorable experience! 💜

I had no intention of buying a dress when I came to 1840 but I fell in love with the first dress I tried on and came home with it that day. Couldn’t have been more happy with the service, I bought 4 family members and my 5 month old baby which they had no problem with. I tried on many more styles of dress but knew the first one was for me.
Highly recommend and always nice to support cowes businesses

My Mum, friends and I visited 1840 this weekend and we are just so glad that we did!
The venue is really lovely and it makes such a difference to be the only ones in there, due to it being appointment only and one appointment at a time.
The dresses were all so different, I loved how unique they were.
Tasha was just wonderful. She was friendly and fun, immediately putting me at ease and she really listened to what I wanted. I trusted her to choose some dresses that weren’t what I had preferred and I’m so glad I, as I ended up buying one that I never would have tried on without her!
I loved the whole experience and my Mum and friends said the same.
Everything was great, but it was Tasha who really made it.

My mum and I attended 1840 to start hunting for a wedding dress. I was very nervous and unsure of what I wanted but Carrie was so helpful and knowledgeable and spent a lot of time going through so many options with me! It was a lovely and relaxed environment and the experience was so much more enjoyable than I thought it would be with no pressure at all! I found the most perfect wedding dress which I am absolutely in love with and so excited to wear! Would 100000% recommend. Thank you, ladies!

I feel 5 stars isn’t enough. Tasha has been absolutely wonderful in helping me find my wedding dress. The first viewing was amazing and I felt so at ease, no pressure and felt like I was speaking with a friend rather than a business. I never felt pressured to buy my dress but only was made to feel beautiful and I can’t thank her enough. I officially have my wedding dress from 1840 and I cannot wait until she gets here! Once again, thank you so much Tasha, you made me feel confident and beautiful and it was such a wonderful experience. It was lovely to be able to text with Tasha as well if I had questions afterwards.

I needed an appointment quickly as we moved our wedding forward and only had 5 months to plan, Tasha was amazing at getting my booked in and nothing was too much trouble. She was incredibly helpful throughout, making my experience amazing and making my bride dreams come true! Everything from dresses, headpieces, veils were beautiful. I would highly recommend.

Such a lovely location, warm and welcoming. Tasha was amazing during my initial appointment as well as being brilliant allowing me to come back and trial different options. I wasn't rushed into purchasing and when I decided to buy she was brilliant helping with the process.
Thank you all so much 💕

What a place, this is where I found the ‘one’ after being very unsuccessful with both island and mainland shops trying to find my perfect dress for my big day. This is the place you want to go if you want modern, on trend dresses with so much selection but not too much your feeling very overwhelmed. The most latest designs out there! Not only that Tasha was so kind, fun and attentive and still is to this day keeping me completely up to date with my dress order, nothing was a problem and made me feel most welcome. Thank you so much
