Hi there. Wondering how many wedding dress appointments I should be factoring into my planning, including fittings and pickup? And how long they normally go for? Thanks.

Hello, We plan for 5 fittings to ensure a perfect fit for your big day. We would ask you to put aside 30mins to 1hr for each fitting.

Hi there, if you are having your gown made to measure by us, we usually require three to four fittings and a pick up appointment, these appointments are fun and take around an hour, it's lovely to see your gown created to be just perfect on your body, and the beauty of a custom made dress is that we can get the details like the neckline and fullness just how you like them, so you know you're going to feel fantastic in it on your wedding day. Some of our demi-couture gowns can be fitted with only one fitting and one pick up appointment, so it can depend what kind of gown you are after. I hope thart helps, best of luck, Louise.

If you're going with the Ready to Wear option it's usually 2-3 and about 4-5 for Custom creations. Once you have booked your venue I'd recommend that you start your wedding dress journey. Happy to answer any other questions you may have.

Kind regards

Heading off to boutiques to look at styles of gowns anywhere from 2-4 appointments at various boutiques and try on your dream style and let the boutique select a style also. Keep and open mind as at times what you think you may wear may or maynot be the dream gown.  If you find gowns at various places short list them and go back with a fresh mind on another day.  We allow 1hr for appointments for all our brides to try on styles and go back to your favs.

Hi

Thank you for enquire. Usually, you need to book the first app around 8 weeks before the wedding.  We required at least 3 appointments, 1st fit, 2nd fit and pickup. Sometimes if alteration is more complicated we need one more app. If you have more questions about it please don't hesitate to contact us.

Thank you
