Question 1

WHEN SHOULD I START LOOKING FOR MY BRIDAL OUTFITS?

Accepted Answer

Everyone is different and when you decide to purchase your bridal outfits is totally your choice but I do recommend you start looking for inspiration early so your outfits can be re-worn throughout your bridal era.

Some items need to be pre ordered (denim jackets, jewellery, veils) so you should ideally start to look for your destination, registry office or evening reception bridal inspiration around 12 months before your wedding. You should aim to refine these around 9 - 6 months but because I specialise in OFF THE PEG Bridal outfits rather than big white dresses that do not need long lead times, you just need to remember to set aside at least 8 - 10 weeks for alterations.

If you are getting married sooner and don't have time don't worry as all our bridal outfits are available to take home the same day!

Question 2

WHERE IS CRAZY IN LOVE BRIDAL?

Accepted Answer

I am based in a small town in Essex called Hockley. It's 50 mins by train from London Liverpool Street and 60 minutes drive from London (off the A127). I am a 4 min walk from Hockley Train Station so easily accessible.

There are also 2-3 parking spaces available on the drive and lots more free parking nearby.

Question 3

I LIVE OVER TWO HOURS AWAY – IS THERE ANYWHERE CLOSE BY TO VISIT?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely – I am a few train stations away from Southend On Sea (or about a 20 min drive) so it's definitely worth incorporating a visit to the seafront when visiting , especially if you're after one of the exclusive designers I stock.

Leigh on Sea is also a gorgeous seafront town which is about a 20 min drive away with quaint restaurants and shops to visit.

Question 4

WHAT ABOUT YOUR SIZING?

Accepted Answer

I embrace all my brides to be and offer a personal service specifically tailored to meet each brides’ needs, in a relaxed, non-judgmental and friendly atmosphere. There is no body shape or body image issue that I have not seen.
​
Bridal sizing is notoriously small, and I strive to stock bridal wear that is true to size but at times they do come up smaller. The best advice is to not focus on the label size but how you feel in your bridal wear.

We have many stunning off the peg bridal outfits in our Curve Collection which caters to size 16 - 26 brides to be.

Question 5

WHAT IF I AM SIZE 16+?

Accepted Answer

Although we are not Plus Size bridal specialists, we do strive to have a curated Curve Collection full of exclusive modern and fashion forward styles.

Don't worry if you are size 16+, I have a stunning Curve Collection where all studio samples are available to try on in sizes 16 - 22.

These styles are just as gorgeous, modern and stylish as all the other dresses. If you are worried, do get in touch to talk through your concerns, I want you to feel as comfortable as possible before your appointment.
