WHEN SHOULD I START LOOKING FOR MY WEDDING DRESS?
The perfect time is about 12 -18 month before the wedding. This gives enough time for your wedding dress to be ordered, arrive at our boutique in Crowle and for any alterations to be made before the big day.

DO I NEED TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?
Yes - to make sure we can give you our undivided attention and that you benefit from the exclusive use of the entire boutique we operate on an appointment only basis.
As you can imagine our Saturday and late night appointments are always in demand so you'll probably need to book these about 2 weeks in advance. Week day appointments can usually be made within the same week.

CAN I BRING CHILDREN WITH ME TO MY APPOINTMENT?
To provide you with an undivided and focused experience, we recommend keeping your bridal appointment exclusively for adults. This ensures you can make the most of your time finding the perfect gown without any distractions.

DO ALL WEDDING DRESSES NEED TO BE ORDERED AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
Generally, yes all of our wedding dresses need to be ordered. Although we do, from time to time, have 'Ready to wear' gowns that are available to take away the same day.
On average ordered bridal gowns take about 6 - 9 months to arrive, but we can sometimes get these quicker for a small fee.

HOW DO I PURCHASE MY BRIDAL GOWN?
It's simple! Once you've chosen your dream bridal gown we'll take your measurements and place your order for you there and then. At this point we ask you pay a 50% deposit to secure your order.
Payment for your wedding dress can be made using cash or all major credit and debit cards.
Your wedding dress will be delivered into the bridal boutique approximately 12 weeks prior to your wedding date.
When your gown arrives at our Crowle boutique we'll contact you to come for a 'Fall in Love with your dress again' appointment. It's now you get to try your gorgeous dress. And its at this point you'll be asked to make your final 50% payment.
We can usually store your wedding dress for you for FREE until the week/day before your wedding.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING MY FITTING/ALTERATIONS?
We can take care of your alterations in the boutique for you, but you are free to take your dress to your own seamstress if you prefer.
Alterations are charged only for what is needed. As an average you can expect to pay about £300. Please ask to see our pricing before alterations are started.
For your fittings you'll need to bring your shoes and wear the underwear you plan to wear on the day. You'll be asked to try your wedding dress in the boutique and the seamstress will pin your dress as needed. You should expect to have 3 - 4 fittings to get your dress wedding day perfect
