FAQs

What to expect at your appointment?

What should I wear?

Nude or white underwear is best. If you have a strapless bra, you may wish to wear it.

No thongs, please! Your bottom may be in my face at some point!

You won't need your shoes as we have a fittings podium to give the correct height.

Please leave the fake tan, full make up and heavily scented body lotions and perfumes for another day!

Trying on dresses is hard work, and we want our gowns to stay fresh for other Brides, too!

To keep your trying-on fun, we will ask you to step into most gowns. It's far easier that way!

Fire Regulations permit a total of 3 guests plus the Bride. Prams can be left in Reception.

You could invite others to your Collection appointment - you can try your gown on and select your accessories if you haven't already.

It's all about you, please leave small children with a sitter and enjoy some time where you're the centre of attention for a change!

Ideally, you should shop for your gown once you have confirmed your date & venue.

Around 18-12 months before your big day is perfect, where possible.

Remember that most gowns will need some tailoring and you should allow time for this.
