A designer wedding dress is chosen, ordered and then fitted: it is best to start early to enjoy every step calmly. Here are the milestones to know to plan your search.
A designer dress is not waiting on a rail in your size. Most of the time, it is ordered from the fashion house once you have made your choice, then made, delivered and fitted to your figure. Each step takes time, and lead times vary by designer and model: we give you precise timings during your appointment.
Starting early also gives you time to hesitate, to come back, and to complete your look without rushing.
This is the moment to gather your inspirations (Pinterest saves, photos, dresses spotted on our website) and to start your fittings. Think about your budget for the dress alone, excluding veil and accessories. Our online boutique lets you discover our gowns and note your favourites before your visit.
Make your choice during this period so the dress can be ordered from the designer in good time. If you are unsure about the cut, our advice on which wedding dress suits your body shape can help you see more clearly.
The final weeks are devoted to adjustments, so the dress falls perfectly on the day. Bring the shoes and lingerie you will wear: the length and support depend on them.
Do not panic. Simply give your wedding date in the appointment form, even an approximate one, with at least the month and year. We will look together at what is still possible within your timeframe.
Veil, gloves, jewellery and lingerie are best chosen once the dress is found, to create a harmonious look. Some dresses already come with them: Rita by Innocentia with a lace-trimmed cathedral veil, Cali with its matching veil, Dorofea by Rara Avis with a silk cape. Discover our veils and accessories and our Boudoir Collection 2027 too.
Fill in the appointment form: our team will get back to you within 24 hours. If your days are busy, our White After Dark evenings welcome you on Mondays and Thursdays from 7pm to 9pm. To prepare for your visit, read our advice on how to prepare for your bridal fitting.
