Absolutely! Many bridal boutiques offer alteration services whether they are in-house or a recommended bridal seamstresses. Some dresses can be customized to fit your style. Be sure to discuss any desired changes and alterations with your consultant.

Yes, most bridal shops require appointments, especially on weekends. Be sure to book ahead of time to secure your spot.

Once ordered, most dresses take about 3-6 months to arrive. If you’re on a tight timeline, many boutiques offer off-the-rack options or rush orders for an additional fee.

It’s up to you! Some brides find their dress after trying on just a few, while others may try on 10 or more. Trust your instincts, and don’t feel pressured to try on too many. Not everyone crys when they find the ONE! So don’t feel like you have too!

Wedding dress budgets can vary widely. On average, brides spend between £1,000 to £3,000, but you can find beautiful options at various price points. Don’t forget to budget for alterations and accessories!

Once your dress arrives, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep it in its protective bag and don’t be tempted to keep trying it on before you take it to the seamstress. You don’t want to risk damaging it of getting it dirty. You can also add extra protection by placing the whole dress bag inside a single duvet cover and place the poppers at the top. This gives extra protection from snooping eyes!

After the wedding, have it professionally cleaned and preserved to keep it in good condition.

Definitely! The style of your venue can influence your dress choice. A formal ballroom may call for a more elegant gown, while a beach wedding might suit a lighter, flowy style.

That’s perfectly okay! There are no rules when it comes to bridal fashion. Whether it’s a colored dress, a jumpsuit, or a more casual style, choose what makes you feel most like you.

If you're short on time, consider shopping at boutiques that offer ready-to-wear options or look for sample sales. Many designers also have quicker shipping options if you order early.

Bring a strapless bra, comfortable shoes (similar to what you plan to wear on your wedding day), and any accessories you might want to try with the dress. Also a nude pair of high waisted knickers is a good plan too.

Only bring guests who will help not hinder your choice.

Bridal sizing can differ from regular clothing sizes, often running smaller. When trying on dresses, focus on how the dress fits your body rather than the size label. Most boutiques will help you determine the best size based on your measurements. Every designer has its own size chart so you could be a size 12 in one dress and a 16 in another! Its how you look and feel in it that is important.

Styles can vary based on your personal taste, wedding theme, and body shape. Popular styles include A-line, ball gown, mermaid, and sheath. It’s a good idea to try on different silhouettes to see what flatters you best.

Aim to start shopping at least 10- 18 months before your wedding. This allows ample time for selection, alterations, and any customizations.
