When should I start looking for my wedding dress?
We recommend starting 12 months before your wedding. Made-to-order gowns take 6 months to arrive, with alterations needed 8-12 weeks before the event. Off-the-peg options are available for shorter timelines.
Do I need an appointment to view dresses?
Appointments are strongly advised to ensure dedicated styling time and exclusive use of fitting suites. Walk-ins may be accommodated if staff are available, but prior booking is recommended for the best experience.
What should I bring to my bridal consultation?
Bring a strapless bra, nude/white undergarments, and trusted companions whose opinions you value. We provide shoes for trying on gowns. Feel free to bring accessories or inspiration photos to guide styling.
Can I get alterations for my purchased gown?
Yes, our recommended seamstress offers professional alterations. Most gowns require adjustments for fit and length, typically starting 6-8 weeks before your wedding. Alteration costs are discussed directly with the seamstress.
Do you offer non-white wedding dresses?
Yes, we stock gowns in ivory, nude, mocha, and champagne tones. Many styles offer multiple colour options, which our stylists can showcase during consultations to match your preferences.
