As you embark on this journey, there are several factors to consider, such as your budget, personal style, wedding theme, and the time of year your wedding will take place. With all these elements in mind, think about creating a wedding mood board that will start to form an outline of your dream day.

So, let’s talk timescales. The optimal window to commence the search for your wedding dress is around 9 to 12 months before your wedding day. This allows time for;
- the designer to make your dress
- fitting sessions
- an accessory appointment so you can find the perfect accessories that suit your look and your dress
- alterations to be completed
Most designers work on specific timescales and delivery schedules, which we consider when ordering your dress. Each step requires thoughtful planning and time, from the meticulous handcrafting of your dress to its delivery and alterations upon arrival. We believe in the perfect dress and the perfect fit.
While starting the search within 6 to 12 months of your wedding is feasible, this timeframe provides less flexibility for accommodating alterations and unexpected developments.

While these off-the-peg dresses boast remarkable quality, they are available in limited quantities, very often only one dress is available. So, it’s essential to allow yourself ample time to find the dress that resonates with your vision.
