To make sure your journey goes as smoothly as possible, we would like to meet you for the first time about 8 - 10 months before the wedding day. It takes a few days to try on different styles in different stores, but sometimes it takes a few weeks before you finally find "The One".

Your bridal wear is one of the few things you could get done in advance with minimum stress. There are plenty of things you have to wait until your wedding is near. So start early if you can!

Bridal wear is all about your body type, personality and wedding style. Here are some things you can prepare before appointment:

1. What type of clothes do you usually like or dislike? For example, if you feel flattered with a V-neckline in your daily look, it often reflects so on your wedding dress, too.

2. Season and style: If you get married on a hot summer day, short sleeves are recommended. A wedding gown without a train fits a party of 30 guests but might disappear a bit in the crowd of 120 people. If you fit various dress styles, your wedding environment and style of decorations can help you to make a perfect decision.

3. It is helpful to bring pictures of gowns you have seen on social media or websites, or if you have tried on elsewhere. We are very curious about what you have in mind!

4. Your heel height. Your shoes in your wardrobe are a good reference if you are not sure at this stage.

5. Backless or strapless bras are most helpful during dress fitting but not essential. Stick-on cups or low back underwear are also useful to wear to ensure you are comfortable and could provide good support for your actual wedding day.

6. Good personal hygiene is deeply appreciated when you visit us. Re-book your appointment and please stay home if you are feeling sick.

7. Most importantly come with an open mind! Try on various styles, even ones maybe outside of your comfort zone. You might be pleasantly surprised!
