This depends on you! I’m a firm believer in shopping when you are ready! Some brides wish to visit several times, whilst many others will say yes on their first visit. The majority of my gowns take between 12 – 20 weeks to arrive at the boutique. Some can take a little longer, some a little less therefore I would advise leaving no less than 6 months to ensure your dress arrives on time and a further minimum 8 weeks for alterations. Rush orders can be arranged, but these can come with additional charges, depending on the designer and time of year, along with a whole load of additional stress. However, if you do not have this length of time please do get in touch as I maybe able to obtain your gown quicker than you think.

A sample dress will never fit you perfectly but please don’t worry, all of my dresses can be ordered in many sizes. My samples range from a size 8 – 18, with some careful clipping, a size 12 can be put on a size 16 and still see the overall look.

Yes. At least once a year I have to make way for new collections arriving from my designer’s as well as the odd discontinued dress. This means I will have beautiful designer wedding dresses available off the rail with up to 70% off which can mean some gowns start from only £400. You can see my current off the rail dresses here.

Ideally something that you feel comfortable being seen in! If you can, wear nude coloured, comfortable and seam free underwear, ill fitting underwear can sometimes be really hard to overlook! Don’t worry too much about the bra, most gowns have some form of support built in and a bra will just get in the way! If you have a favourite pair of heels bring them!

I must ask, please DO NOT wear fake tan to your appointment, it is practically impossible to remove from wedding dresses, if you could also keep your make up to a minimum and refrain from wearing lipstick, I would be eternally grateful!

Finding your wedding dress is an experience and a memory you should treasure forever, which is why when you come to The Bottom Drawer Bridal you have the entire boutique to yourself.

I will ask you all about your wedding, your fiancé and what your dinner plans are and together we will discuss what you are looking for in your wedding dress. I will help you select some gowns to try and that is where the fun begins.

When you do come for your appointment, I am asking that for the time being, you bring with you, up to three special guests. The people in your life, who perhaps know you and your style better than you do, knows exactly what your dream wedding looks like and wants what you want, to know that you will look absolutely amazing on your wedding day!

I must insist that your guests remain seated throughout the entire appointment unless completely necessary.

Unfortunately Ivory fabrics and children don’t mix, so I kindly ask, where possible, to refrain from bringing children under the age of 16 into the boutique.

The sooner you place your order the better, saving you any unnecessary stress. As I said above 8-10 months should cover the process from start to finish, therefore I strongly advise you to stick to this where possible.

Rush orders can be available (subject to designer availability) but this comes with additional charges and stress! and who needs that?

In a word, no. Unless your mum is a pro photographer I would strongly recommend that you do not request photos of you in your gown. The photographs are not going to be flattering no matter how hard we try, the dress won’t fit 100% and I rarely find that any bride is able to look back on the photos positively. This is where I must ask you to trust your gut! It’s going to be so much better than your camera phone!

When you find ‘the one’, I will take your measurements during your appointment. Your gown will be ordered according to the designers measurements chart in your nearest size or depending on the designer, I will send them your measurements for your made to measure gown.

Your dress will then be delivered to the boutique within the time frame as discussed in your appointment. Your dress WILL need to be altered to fit you 100% perfectly

I have a recommended seamstress, Emma. She is completely independent from The Bottom Drawer Bridal and all her contact details will be in with your order information. You are able to meet and have your fittings with Emma at The Bottom Drawer Bridal (for an additional fee) or at her own Studio. You are under no obligation to use Emma.

You will normally need around 2-3 fittings appointments. Please be aware any alteration fees are NOT included in the price of your dress.

I am able to store your gown for you in the boutique. There is a monthly fee of £50.

For every new gown purchased, you are provided with a complimentary The Bottom Drawer Bridal Dress Bag. For Sample sale gowns, a The Bottom Drawer Bridal Dress Bag can be purchased for £15.

I don't buy back preloved wedding dresses

I also do not offer a service where I sell the dress on for you. If your dress is new and unaltered I would recommend you get in touch with Rochelle at And She Loved Bridal on 01183 273794 or hello@andshelovesbridal.com
