Had a lovely experience in Papena Chester today. Lovely lady called Dianne helped me look for an outfit for a wedding later this year, they had a very wide range of colours and styles to choose from. I tried one on but will come back and see what Autumn and Winter range they get in. Thank you for your help Dianne very much appreciated. Helen

I visited the shop with my sister to look for a Mother of the Bride outfit for her to wear next year. The assistant/s were extremely helpful, patient and attentive throughout our visit. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you

I purchased a dress from Papena last November for my son’s wedding at the end of April this year. As I was due to have surgery a few weeks after purchase, Sue advised me to wait until nearer the wedding for alterations. I went back a few weeks ago, alterations all done to an excellent standard. Sue has been amazing when I was purchasing and when dealing with the alterations, giving advice on what suited and what may need altering. I can’t thank her enough and would highly recommend a visit to the shop for any special occasion. ( She also sells a lovely range of standard clothing). Xx

This shop is amazing, the dresses are beyond gorgeous and the staff are both knowledgeable and friendly. Nothing, and I mean nothing is too much trouble for them. It was like having your own personal shopper. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Now I will wear my gorgeous dress on gala night on the Queen Mary 2 on our transatlantic cruise into New York. Thankyou ladies.

A stunning boutique in Chester. My mum found a *perfect* mother of the bride dress here (as well as shoes and accessories), and has since returned multiple times to buy clothes. I also found my bridal shoes here, which were exactly what I was looking for! It’s the customer service that makes Papena particularly special, and the ladies are a real credit to the shop.
Joanne Owens
Visited this shop along with several other shops looking for a special outfit for my daughter’s wedding.
Great choice of beautiful dresses with matching accessories but more importantly, the two sales assistants, I believe both were named Sue, were absolutely amazing…..no pushy sales tactics, just friendly, helpful, genuine ladies advising and assisting ensuring their customer leaves confident and happy with the purchase they made.
Thank you ladies….i will definitely be back next time I’m looking for that special outfit!

What a lovely shop! I went in with my mum just browsing for her MOB dress, with absolutely no expectations, and the lovely lady in the shop (I'm so sorry I can't remember your name) was so helpful and really made the whole experience feel so special! The lady in the shop was so supportive of my mum, and helped provide valuable feedback and compliments also! My mum came out of the shop with her absolute dream MOB dress, so thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

What a lovely shop and amazing service!
I went in with my mum to find a Mother of the Bride dress and it was perfect! They had a massive selection of occassion wear, dresses in every colour ranging from the traditional Mother of the Bride dress to more lavish and unusual dresses. They also had a great selection of jumpsuits and some matching trouser/suit jackets. The ladies there were really helpful and accommodating and did everything they could to help us find the perfect outfit. They also had a lovely selection of more everyday clothes, but each item was beautiful. If you're looking for occasion wear I'd definitely recommend!

Having 2 weddings in 2025 one being my daughter's, I called in here just to have a look. I tried on a few dresses one i had previously tried on & was now on sale, this was bought for wedding number 1. I then found the perfect dress for my daughters wedding, the lovely staff handed me fascinator, shoe's & bag to complete my outfit. All perfect. I needed a few alterations & Sue pinned me in & kept me updated, going above & beyond. On the wedding days I felt special in my lovely dresses & had lots of nice comments. I'd highly recommend this shop. Sue & her team were all helpful & amazing. Thank you Papena.
