What else should I bring?
We suggest wearing nude or light coloured underwear and a strapless bra if you have one - but please don't buy anything special at this stage. We also ask that you wear minimal make-up so we are able to keep our dresses looking beautiful for other brides to try on.

Most dresses range in price from $1500 to $2,200. Some are cheaper but these are very limited. Also some limited edition dresses are up to $3000.

How long before my wedding should I start shopping?
All of our gorgeous dresses are 'off the rack' - so you can take your dress home with you. We also have a range of dresses that can be ordered in your size, if required. Please allow 4 -5 months for these dresses to arrive. Some brides are getting married next week, and we are here to help! Others may be getting married in 12 months time: some brides like to be super organised and others are more 'go with the flow' - so we have dresses to suit all timeframes.
Will my dress need alterations?
It is very common for a wedding dress to need alterations to achieve a perfect fit, so you look your absolute best! For the bust to sit correctly and feel amazing you will need the cups changing to your size. Straps often need shortening too, as might the hem. Adding a bustle can mean you can move freely (and dance) after your photos have been taken.
We have seamstresses that we recommend for these alterations - they are the experts and know what they're doing from years of experience.
