*Please note*

Without an appointment we can not guarantee you a fitting room to try on gowns if we have booked appointments running in store. On this note as we only have two fitting rooms we highly recommend booking an appointment to prevent disappointment.

Late Evening appointments are available on request. There is a charge of £50 for these appointments. The £50 has to be paid at time of booking £30 of which will be credited towards your bridal gown should you purchase during your appointment.
