It’s a feeling.
A moment.
A memory in the making.

Worried you wont find anything to fit?

Worried you wont find anything to fit?

Coral, our gorgeous plus size bride thought that she would never find her perfect dress, as other bridal shops did not cater for her size.

Coral was amazed at the amount of plus sizes in our bridal boutique and fell in love with our size 34 princess dress. It was made brand new to her unique size.

Looking for an untraditional colour?

Making custom changes to suit you perfectly

Worried you wont find anything to fit?

Coral had an ivory and lilac colour scheme and loved the fact we could make her wedding dress to any colour to suit her wedding theme.

Corals princess dress was her perfect colour and full of silver sparkles. We offer 150 colours for any wedding dress., so perfect for untraditional brides.

Making custom changes to suit you perfectly

Coral found her beautiful wedding dress with us, but wished it had floaty tulle sleeves using the same lace as the dress. no problem we added them.

Coral had the best experience with us customising her wedding dress to her exact size proportions, perfect colour scheme and unique style.

Corals Review

From a very happy bride...

"Right from the minute you arrive, everything is made to make you feel so welcomed and you're really given a great and personalised service. I was so worried being a plus size bride that i would look awful in anything i tried on and i was made to feel like an absolute princess. When i finally decided on The dress. i made colour changes, added sleeves and other various things. All was listened to and exceeded my expectations. I think the price point is very reasonable considering the service and product you receive is amazing! Thank you so much Lea, I cant wait to wear my dress and show you the pictures"

2. Cancellations

Once a custom order has been confirmed and production has commenced, the order cannot be cancelled or refunded.
If you choose to cancel your order before production begins, a non-refundable deposit (or full payment, if already made) will be retained.

3. Responsibility for Sizing

Dresses are made to the measurements provided at the time of order.
Any weight gain or loss following the order is the sole responsibility of the client.
Carolyn Anne’s Bridal is not liable for any changes in fit resulting from body measurement fluctuations after your order has been confirmed.

4. Alterations

Alterations are not included in the price of your custom gown.
You are responsible for arranging and covering the cost of any alterations needed once your gown is received.
We strongly recommend budgeting for alterations with a qualified bridal seamstress.

5. Final Approval

Clients will have the opportunity to review and approve design choices before production begins.
By approving the design, you acknowledge that you are satisfied with the concept and direction of the final product.
Minor variations may occur due to the handmade nature of the garment for example lace placements may differ to accomodate the custom style changes and are not grounds for refund or complaint. On a very rare occasion, should a particular lace get discontinued then the dressmaker will use an almost identical lace for your dress.
Your dress will be made to the same style as the original unless the bride requests any changes which are noted in the order confirmation email.

6. Delivery & Try-On

Once your gown is ready, it will be carefully checked for quality purposes and we will arrange a fitting with us, so we can advise if any adjustments are needed with a seamstress.

Your fitting is when you will see your dress for the first time and try it on. This is the time to tell us if you are unhappy with anything as once you have left our bridal boutique, we are no longer responsible for your dress.
We recommend booking your try-on and any alteration appointments as soon as your dress arrives.

These policies are in place to protect the integrity of our bespoke design service and to ensure a fair and transparent process for all clients.
