How to get excited for your wedding dress appointment...

While we are pining away for better days, there are a few ways in which you can pass the time and get super excited for that day in which you can walk through my door and we can find you THE dress you will remember forever!

Research

If you’re gonna be scrolling through the phone, you might aswell make it worth every minute and get yourself over to my Pinterest page. You will find days worth of inspiration for your wedding day from flowers to hair and make up but more importantly you will find multiple images for each and every dress available in the boutique.

Take the time to really think about what it is in your wedding dress that you truly have your heart set on, is lace setting your world on fire? Can you not imagine walking down the aisle with out a full length sleeve?

This is where you can collect all your ideas and take your time to visualise yourself getting ready on your wedding morning, having your first kiss as a married couple, hitting that dance floor together for the first time. What is giving you all the feels in the pit of your stomach, a super sexy low back for everyone to see when you walk down the aisle? or maybe a soft and floaty romantic full tulle skirt that will give you all the twirls when you go for a spin on that dance floor?

Book yourself a Virtual Appointment

So while we obviously cannot be in the boutique at the moment, this is going to be the next best thing, even if your wedding isnt in 2021, this is going to be a great opportunity to talk and get a feel for me, the boutique and of course more importantly, the dresses.

We can talk “face to face” about all aspects of your wedding, it doesn’t just have to be all about the dress, and if I’m completely honest, this is just as important. Telling me who your photographer, stylist even who your make up artist is, is going to give me a really good idea as to what you’re looking for in terms of how your wedding is going to look.

Knowing who your other suppliers are gives me a really good insight into your personality and knowing who you’re vibing with already, gives me a cheeky little headstart in knowing that when that day comes and I am able to welcome you into the boutique with open arms, we are going to already 100% be on the same wavelength!

Now for all you beautiful brides planning on saying I do in 2021 and have yet to have said those immortal words… this is my dress, I have a plan…

While old Boris insists on keeping my front door locked, this is my way around it.

After an initial Virtual appointment to see what we’re thinking and deciding on what you want to try, I will send you up to 3 dresses to try on at home. Create yourself a little boutique space and I will send you some goodies to be able to recreate The Bottom Drawer experience in the luxury of your own home. You will have the dresses for 2 days and while you have them, we will have another virtual appointment, just me and you, or if you want to girls involved too, they are more than welcome to join in the fun. Just as we would in the boutique, I will talk you through the dresses and help you to get the clearest vision of how the dress will look when it’s fitted perfectly to you!

Once you have tried them all on, perhaps had a little cry when you found the one, you simply pop them back in the dress bags, safe and sound in their box and your friendly DPD man will bring them back to me.

Again just as it would be in the boutique, to order your dream dress, a 50% deposit is required (minus The At Home fee of £150) your final, remaining 50% is due when your dress arrives at the boutique. This is where you will have your ‘Try and Pay’ appointment and get your bum into YOUR dress for the very first time. If you can, try and book this appointment on the same day as your hair/makeup trial; let me then style you up with the perfect jewels and accessories to go with your dress and lets make that the moment that we have all been waiting for.

All the information and contact form for the At Home Service is all now LIVE and ready and raring to go. Get in touch as soon as possible, lets get some plans in the diary and give ourselves both something to look forward too!

All my love
