“Perfect dress...Perfect fit...Perfect day” - The Wedding Room
♡ Are you by appointment only?
We are an appointment only store, therefore please visit our 'experiences' tab on our website to make sure you've booked the right one for you.
♡ What sizes do you stock?
Our sample gowns are varied and we have different gowns in sizes UK8–UK22 to try on. We can order the exact size you need when you find ‘the one’, in sizes UK4–UK32. Bridal sizing is different to high street sizing.
♡ When should I be booking in?
It’s important to not leave it too late, if you want all the choices available to you. Gowns take 4–6 months to arrive, plus we need 2 months for alterations. So a minimum of at least 10–12 months.
In all honesty, we think if you feel ready to start and find the one before then, so you can plan your day around the gown! Then go for it!! Book in when you feel ready to potentially commit to a gown
♡ What if I plan to change shape?
This is a concern for lots of our customers shopping in advance, but as long as you let us know your plans, we can discuss privately what size would be most suitable for you. We have an in-house tailor who can alter gowns to fit should weight loss/gain occur.
♡ What are your gown prices so I can budget for my dream dress? And do you offer payment plans?
Our gowns start at £1500 and finish at £3200. With most of our gowns priced in the middle of this range. We want you to have your dream gown, and this means some of our brides want to pay in instalments. We are set on offering you the ‘shop local’ experience which means being able to bend the rules in your favour unlike high street or outlets.
♡ Can I buy a dress 'off the peg' if I have left it too late to order?
Everyone’s circumstances are different, with this being said all our gowns are available to buy off the rack and take home on the day if needed.
We also offer a small selection of gowns with discount if they are discontinued by the designer or have tiny signs of wear and tear from being tried on in the boutique.
So you may get a bargain on the RRP.
♡ What deposit do I need?
You need 50% deposit to secure your gown if it is needing to be ordered from the designer.
Your remaining balance is due within 4.5 months or before, if your wedding date is sooner than this.
♡ How do alterations work?
All gowns need alterations, whether that’s slightly too long for the heels you’ve picked, or it needs to fit perfectly to individual bust shapes.
We have an in-house tailor who can sort this for an additional fee. An estimate can be given at time of purchase so you can budget accordingly.
Alterations are not included as standard, they don’t take place until 8 weeks before your wedding and need to be paid for on completion, direct to the tailor.
We also offer storage and insurance, so your gown can stay with us, in our boutique, until your big day.
