WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR APPOINTMENT

SO, HOW DO WE WORK?

FIRST THINGS FIRST - DON’T BE NERVOUS!

WE HAVE SO MANY BRIDES COME TO US WHO ARE ANXIOUS ABOUT THEIR BRIDAL APPOINTMENT, AND WE WILL DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO TAKE ANY ANXIETY AWAY.

SO WHEN YOU ARRIVE, WE WILL MEET YOU AT THE GATE AND WALK YOU TO THE STUDIO. OUR STUDIO IS VERY SMALL AND INFORMAL; HIDDEN AWAY FROM THE VILLAGE AND ALWAYS COMPLETELY YOURS FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT. WE DON’T HAVE WALK-INS OR A BIG SHOP WINDOW - YOU COME IN, RELAX AND WE’LL GET THE KETTLE ON.

UNLIKE OTHER MORE TRADITIONAL BOUTIQUES, WE DON’T HAVE A LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF DRESSES YOU CAN TRY ON. THE WHOLE STUDIO IS YOURS TO EXPLORE AND USE - LIKE ‘DRESS UP FOR GROWN UPS’ AS ONE OF OUR LOVELY BRIDES PUT IT!

WE WILL ALWAYS ENCOURAGE YOU TO TRY ON AS MANY THINGS AS POSSIBLE, EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT SURE ABOUT THE STYLE - YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED! THE MUSIC WILL BE PLAYING AND WE SPEND A BIT OF TIME GETTING USED TO TRYING THINGS ON AND FINDING YOUR STYLE.

WHEN IT COMES TO SIZING, WE USE A ‘TRY IT AND SEE’ APPROACH… WE USED TO LABEL ALL OUR DRESSES WITH THEIR SIZES, THINKING THIS WAS HELPFUL TO BRIDES WHEN THEY CAME TO TRY ON. HOWEVER THE SIZING OF EVERY STYLE IS DIFFERENT; ESPECIALLY WITH OUR VINTAGE DRESSES, AND WE FOUND THAT THE LABELS WERE STOPPING BRIDES TRYING ON WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN THEIR PERFECT DRESS! SO WE HAVE REMOVED ALL SIZES FROM OUR STYLES; WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO JUST TRY ON ANYTHING YOU LIKE AND SEE HOW IT WORKS FOR YOU.

IF YOU FIND YOUR WEDDING DRESS AT YOUR APPOINTMENT, PAYMENT CAN BE MADE ON THE DAY AND THE DRESS IS YOURS TO TAKE AWAY. AS ALL OUR BEAUTIFUL STYLES ARE IN STOCK WAITING FOR YOU AT THE STUDIO, WE DON’T HAVE TO ORDER YOUR DRESS IN AND THERE ARE NO LEAD TIMES - THE DRESS YOU TRY AND LOVE IS THE ONE YOU WEAR ON YOUR WEDDING DAY. WE CAN THEN PUT YOU IN TOUCH WITH OUR LOVELY SEAMSTRESS IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANY ALTERATIONS OR CUSTOMISATION MADE TO YOUR DRESS. IT COULDN’T BE SIMPLER!

SO, GIVE US A SHOUT WHEN YOU WOULD LIKE TO ARRANGE YOUR APPOINTMENT… WE CAN’T WAIT TO MEET YOU!
