Hurray!.. You have found “your ” dress. Its an amazing feeling isn’t it?

So, you have put the deposit down, and now your thinking “what’s next?” Well if you ask me, I think this is the most fun part. Finding your dress leads to all the little extras now. You can move on and tick the rest of the boxes, because, lets face it, we all know the dress is the theme setter!

Start thinking about your hair and make up trials, your dress will influence what you have your hair styled like, go for a couple of trials and come in and try the sample dress on after. (if your one hasn’t arrived yet) It will give you an idea and you can decide on hair accessories then! Choosing a veil, and picking out sparkle for your hair is a seriously fun appointment! We have some beautiful veils to choose from and plenty of tiaras and bands. If your stuck we are here to help you decide and choose what goes with your dress.

Shoes! This is an essential hunt! You will need the shoes, you, will be wearing on the day, by the time of your 1st fitting, when your dress arrives. This will depend on if you need any length alterations. Most brides tend to need the hem altering. Brides can get really creative with shoes now by having different coloured ones, or the non trational style ones. If your not a heels girl, that doesn’t matter, you can get some amazing flats or even wear your comfies, like converse or bridal sandels! Check our shoe collection in our boutique and online. They are fully padded and we have a wide selection of different styles and fits, not everyone has the same type of feet.

Jewellery and accessories need a thought too. Some dresses may not feel the need for a necklace or any jewellery at all, we tend to guide you when ordering your dress, on what you do and don’t need.

If your wedding dress is a particular colour, for example; champagne, blush or oyster, this will make your decision on colour schemes and bridesmaid easier as you will have slightly less options. it will also help you with what the centre pieces look like and flowers.

So you see, there is lots to be cracking on with once you have ordered your wedding dress! Remember the dresses do take a short while to arrive in, so any times you do have hair trials ect, you are more than welcome to come to the boutique and try our sample one on.

catch up soon ladies
