We hope this section helps you to understand how we work, if there is anything we havn't covered then please just message us for more information.
Our brand new made wedding dresses including customising range between £1000 - £1799 Customised Flower girl dresses are £120 and juniors and adult bridesmaid dresses are £150.
We are a realistic size wedding shop and are well known for plus sizes so we mainly have larger sizes in stock. We have sizes 6 to 36 in our bridal boutique with most being over a size 18 high street size.
On normal lead times your dress will take takes 6 months to be made and you must allow 12 weeks for alterations so you would need to secure your order 9 months before your wedding date.
Our wedding dresses are exclusive and we have our very own labels "Pure Joie" and "Carolyn Anne's Bridal" which are unique and you can customise.
No absolutely not as we are there to show you exactly what you do to customise a dress. We will show you examples and run through all options with you.
We currently have a collection of around 40 wedding dresses in stock but hundreds of styles that our dressmakers have made that are available to order as shown under photos on our facebook page.
We work by appointments only as this will ensure you have privacy in the boutique and we can prepare the boutique for you. You will also never have to share your time with another bride and we dedicate our time to you and your bridal party. Same day appointments are usually available so please do give us a call and we will do our best to get you in the same day.
Your dress will be made to your height for length, bust, waist and hips at the time of the order to help save you high alterations costs but we are not the dressmakers so dresses are not made on a full "Made to measure" basis so you will need some sort of tweaking to your dress for perfect fit. Also please note that if you change size since the order then you are fully responsible for any alterations needed. We do not pay for any alterations.
We can offer you a huge amount of colours choices (150 to be exact) for every wedding dress or bridesmaid dress.
On your appointment we will sit you down and get to know you, ask you about your wedding plans, meet your family and friends, enjoy some refreshments and find out your vision for a wedding dress. We then explain how we work and exactly what we can offer you. You are then lead to the wedding dresses to choose your favourites to try on. After you have tried your favourites on we then ask you to trust us and we will suggest styles for you to try on as we know what will look good on you even if you have not picked it out, you will be surprised and quite often your "Dress" will be the one you didnt pick that we suggested!!
We can offer you a payment plan if your wedding is more than 9 months away. You can make monthly payments until 9 months before when your dress will need to be paid off in full. We will discuss all options when you come along for your appointment.
It depends how much time you have until your wedding, but please come and see us straight away as we need to make sure there is enough time to make your dress and time for alterations. If you are later than the normal lead time then there will be a small fee of £50 to bump you up the dressmakers list. Sorry but we do not take on any orders any less than 3 months until your wedding but you can have an off peg weddinq dress.
We are afraid that we do not offer refunds on any of our dresses as they are all made brand new exclusive for you. Once your order has been placed your fabrics have been ordered and paid for. We also do not offer refunds for change of mind or not liking a customised dress when it arrives and we ask you to read through our terms and conditions and sign before we go ahead with your order.
