Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment to try on wedding dresses?
Yes, to give each bride the time and attention they deserve, we operate by appointment only.
You can book your appointment online through our website where you will be guided through our booking system! If you do encounter any issues, please don't hesiste to phone us if you have any questions during. We can’t wait to help you find (and fit) the one!
How far in advance should I start shopping for my wedding dress?
We suggest starting your dress search as soon as you can. The longer you give yourself, the more comfortable the process will be for you.
Each designer has different lead times but usually the ideal sweet spot is generally around 12-18 months prior to your wedding, this allows plenty of time for ordering, delivery, and any alterations you may need!
Who can I bring guests to my appointment?
We encourage brides to bring a few close friends and family members if they wish. Smaller groups create a more relaxed and focused experience.
We do ask, if possible, to limit your guests to 5. However if you do wish to bring more guests along, simply let us know and we can make arragements to make sure everybody is comfortable during your appointment!
Please note: We do ask that you not bring buggies into the shop, as the carpets and dresses are delicate. Babies are always welcome to join in a carrier!
Can I come to an appointment by myself?
Of course, you are more than welcome to come and try on dresses by yourself. We want you to feel confident in your decision - whether that's with your bridal party or on your own, your opinion is the one that matters!
If I am short on time, can I still book an appointment?
Yes of course! We have a large collection of our sample dresses available for purchase which has something for everyone and every size!
Simply book a Sample Sale appointment through our website and take away your beautiful gown with you on the day! We kindly ask that you review our Sample Sale page prior to your appointment and share your favourite gowns in advance, as they are not displayed in the main shop.
Do you carry plus-size or petite gowns?
Yes! We believe every bride deserves to feel confident and beautiful. We carry a variety of sample sizes including plus-size and petite options, and can order our gowns in a wide size range.
We have our dedicated Curve Boutique featuring only plus-size gowns in sizes 18–30, with most designers offering up to size 36.
For our petite brides we have smaller samples available to try on and our bridal stylists who are able to expertly clamp and pin dresses to guide you through the perfect fit!
Do you offer alterations in-house?
Yes! We’re proud to offer professional in-house alterations so you can find, customise and perfect your gown all in one place. Our talented seamstresses specialize in bridal tailoring and will ensure your dress fits like a dream.
When should I start alterations?
We begin the alteration process 10 to 8 weeks prior to your wedding day. This allows enough time to ensure you are at your near final measurements. Most gowns require 3 fittings to achieve the perfect fit, so don't worry if there are any weight fluctuations, this is perfectly normal!
If you do require any custom changes or bespoke pieces, we may ask that you visit us a little sooner to allow us enough time to perfect your gown! Our seamstresses work with you to make sure every detail is just right.
How much should I budget for my dress?
Our gowns generally range between £1.2k-£4k , with options to suit a variety of budgets. We also carry a selection of sample dress available for sale for brides who are on a shorter timeline or looking for a bargain!
We also offer bespoke customization directly through select designers, allowing you to create a truly one-of-a-kind gown tailored to your vision.
