Answer…We recommend having your wedding date and venue booked before you begin your search for a dress.  It is important to have the date and location established so you can envision the wedding’s overall look, and know when your dress needs to be ready! Gowns typically take four to six months to arrive in our store, and alterations generally require one to two months.  Start shopping about eight to ten months in advance to ensure you have plenty of time to make up your mind without any stress!
If your wedding is more than a year away, we recommend waiting a bit.  After all, styles and tastes can change, and dresses can be discontinued.  At Love, we want to make sure you start your search when you’re truly ready to say yes to the dress!
Bring the two or three people whose opinions you value most.
When it comes to choosing a dress, more is not always merrier! You’ll want to
bring guests who understand your true style, give supportive feedback, and will
help you look your best. Hearing too many opinions can be overwhelming for even
the most confident of brides, so keep the guest list short and sweet. Please note on Saturdays, we ask you bring along a maximum of 5 guests with you!
he first thing to know is that bridal sizing is NOT the
same as normal clothing sizes! We know, we know: as if the process wasn’t
complicated enough, right? Most of our designers work on a European size chart, so don’t be surprised if your gown size is different that what you’re used to hearing. While the majority of our gowns are sampled in a bridal size 12, we have plenty of gowns sampled up to a size 24. It is rare that any bride fits into a sample perfectly, so remember that we will help clip you into each dress so you know what it will look like when its in your size….
Don’t worry! We’ll help you envision how the dress will look on you, even if it’s not an exact fit. Bridal sizing can be confusing, so your consultant will help you even if you don’t
happen to be a perfect sample size (and who is?!). Some silhouettes, like ballgowns and A-line dresses, are easier to try on even if the size isn’t perfect. Talk to your consultant and we’ll do everything we can to help you feel comfortable and confident during your appointment! Love is proud to carry Every Body, Every Bride by Essense of Australia. We have 25 gowns in store sizes 20-26 to ensure every bride has a wide selection of gowns to try on and choose from.
