Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your most pressing questions and get the clarity you need for a flawless wedding dress experience.

1. Do I Need to Make an Appointment?

Yes, we offer a private showroom experience, so we ask you to schedule an appointment in advance. This way, we can give you our full attention and make your visit truly special.

You’re welcome to bring your closest loved ones! We have seating for you and three guests. More guests are welcome, but please know they may need to stand.

Our gowns range from £1,500 to £1,800. You can find detailed pricing in each designer’s section on our website.

We recommend starting 12 months before your wedding. Gowns take 6-9 months to arrive, and you’ll need 10-12 weeks for alterations. We can arrange rush orders for an extra fee if needed.

A trunk show is a special event where we showcase a designer’s full collection for a limited time. It’s a fantastic opportunity to try unique gowns and enjoy exclusive discounts. Appointments fill up fast, so be sure to book early!

Dresses usually arrive in 6-9 months. If you’re on a tighter timeline, we can arrange rush orders for an additional fee.

While we don’t offer in-house alterations, we have a list of trusted professional seamstresses recommended by our past brides to help perfect your fit.

Our sample sizes range from 8 to 18, with most gowns in size 12. Don’t worry if it’s not your exact size—we’ll use our expertise to help you envision the perfect fit.

Nude underwear is best for trying on gowns, and a nude strapless bra if you prefer. You don’t need to bring heels; we have 5-inch platforms for you to stand on.

We understand that capturing every moment of your bridal journey is important to you. However, we have chosen to maintain a no-photography policy during appointments to ensure a premium experience for our brides. Here are the reasons for our policy:

  • Exclusive Designs: We have travelled worldwide to curate a unique selection of gowns from top designers. To maintain the exclusivity of our collection and styling techniques, we ask that no photos be taken during your appointment.
  • True Representation: Gowns may not fit perfectly during a fitting. A photo taken in the showroom often does not do justice to how the gown will look on your big day after alterations, with full styling, and professional photography.
  • Focus on Feel: We believe in the power of how a dress makes you feel in the moment. Enjoy the experience, focus on your emotions, and embrace this special time with your loved ones.
  • Live in the Moment: We encourage you to savour the experience and focus on finding the dress that makes you feel like a bride, without distraction.
