We recommend commencing your wedding dress search 10 - 12 months prior to the wedding. This ensures enough time to shop, retry your favourite gowns, order and allow time for alterations.

It takes on average 6 - 10 months to order. However, this can change depending on the designer and peek bridal seasons. It also doesn’t include time for alterations.

Allow roughly:

Hera Couture: 6 – 8 months

Chic Nostalgia: 6 – 8 months

Jonté Designs: 8 – 10 months

JRW: 10 – 12 months

Kellylin Couture: 8 – 10 months

Lillian West: 8 – 10 months

Oksana Mukha: 8 – 10 months

Peter Trends: 8 – 10 months

Rachel Rose 8 – 10 months

Sally Victoria Couture: 8 – 10 months

These are pre-loved, designer, sample gowns that have been tried on in store and are either discontinued or starting to wear in which case we sell them to brides at a heavily discounted price.

This is great for brides on a short timeframe or with a limited budget.

The sample conditions can vary from excellent to needing a few amendments. Each dress will have the condition listed and be priced accordingly.

A good tip for bridal accessories is less is more. Often brides do a necklace and small earrings or big earrings and no necklace.

Another tip would be what jewellery suits what necklines. For example, a strapless often looks good with a drop earring, a V-neck often looks good with a simple necklace, a high neck pairs beautifully with a simple
earring.

Be careful of bracelets! Especially diamante bracelets as they often snag the fabric.

We recommend allowing 3-4 weeks for instore pickup and 6
weeks for shipping when ordering your veil online.

Yes, all veils listed on our
website are available to try on in store. Please note we are open by appointment only.

Yes, while our samples in store are limited. Our veils are
handmade in Perth and can be customised to your desire.

If you’re unsure what veil will go with your dress, a good place to start is matching the veil length to the gown length.

For example, no train = ankle length, train = floor length.

If your gown is heavily embellished, we would recommend a plain tulle veil and if your gown is plain ivory, we recommend trying a more detailed veil, with either a pearl, crystal or lace embellishment.
