Questions
When should I start looking for my wedding dress?
We recommend starting 12 months before your wedding. New gowns take 6 months to arrive, with alterations needed 8-12 weeks pre-wedding. Shorter timelines can be accommodated with off-the-peg options.
Do I need an appointment to try on dresses?
While walk-ins may be accommodated, appointments are strongly recommended. This ensures exclusive access to fitting rooms and dedicated stylist time for up to 90 minutes without interruptions.
What sizes do you stock in your bridal boutique?
Our sample gowns range from UK size 10-24, with most around size 14. Custom orders can be made to your exact measurements regardless of standard sizing.
Can I bring guests to my dress fitting appointment?
Yes, though we recommend 1-2 trusted guests for decision-making. Our fitting rooms comfortably seat 4-5 people, with larger groups accommodated by prior arrangement.
Do you offer alteration services for purchased gowns?
Alterations are provided by our experienced seamstress, with multiple fittings included. Most gowns require 1-2 size adjustments, with complex modifications like train loops also available.
What payment methods do you accept for wedding dresses?
We require 50% deposit on new gowns with balance paid upon arrival. Off-the-peg purchases need full payment upfront via card, bank transfer, or cash.
