Appointments are scheduled for 1 hour. This allows you to try on up to 6 gowns. Any longer than an hour can become confusing and tiring. If you haven’t found your dream gown in this time frame, we recommend rescheduling with a fresh mind.
Bring pictures of dresses you’ve seen on our website, in magazines, or that you’ve tried on elsewhere. Bring an open mind: don’t be surprised if you find “the dress” on your first visit; or if it’s completely different to what you’ve dreamed it might be!
Although we can only accommodate up to 3 people, we normally find that one or two close friends or family, ensures you are not overwhelmed and keeps the focus on you!
Most gowns take between 12 – 15 weeks to order. You also need to allow 6-8 weeks for your fittings and alterations, so ideally ordering around 6 – 8 months out from your wedding, allows the process to run smoothly.
Of Course! We have dealt with many happy Brides from Invercargill to Kaitaia and as far afield as England, Ireland, Australia, Dubai and China. If need be, we can undertake the entire process by phone or email, and courier your gown to you.
If your wedding date is sooner than the time we typically need to order a gown, we’ll need to consult with the designer and place a “rush” order, for an additional fee. The gown will arrive either 8 or 10 weeks fron the time of order.
