Appointments and Ordering
We have an appointment system for Brides. You can also book an appointment for Bridesmaids or Mothers' of the Bride/Groom to ensure a one on one consultation with one of our style advisors.
Bridal appointments are scheduled for one-and-a-half hours and will be in one of our private bridal suites.
Bridesmaids generally have a 90 minute appointment depending on the number of bridesmaids you have. Mothers' of the Bride/Groom are also around 90 minutes.
Most dresses take 16 weeks for delivery. You also need to allow time for fitting which is ideally 1 to 2 months before your wedding.
We carry a large stock of dresses and you can purchase the one you try on. Several of our suppliers are now carrying stock of some more popular styles for just this reason. Our samples dresses range from size 8 - 22 and reduced price sample dresses can be found on our sale page.
