Planning your wedding can feel overwhelming – especially when you haven’t yet found your perfect dress, but you’re still worrying about when to book your fittings. I completely understand this feeling of uncertainty. You want to make sure everything is done in time, and it can be tough to know when to start.
Here’s what I tell every bride: You don’t need to wait until your dress arrives to secure your spot.
Why Pre-Book?
By filling out our Future Bride Request Form, you can secure your spot in our fitting schedule and relax, knowing your fittings are covered – no rush fees, no stress. Whether you’re 12 weeks or 6 months away from the big day, this step gives you peace of mind.
Not Sure About Alterations? We’re Here to Help
If you’re unsure what’s possible with your dress, you’re welcome to come in for a consultation. I’ve helped brides with everything from simple adjustments to creative transformations. We can chat about your dress, the look you’re dreaming of, and how we can bring it to life.
You can also follow us on social media for more inspiration – we share stories, photos, and ideas of what’s possible with alterations.
What If You’re 12 Weeks (or Less) Away?
If your wedding is fast approaching and you're already within 12 weeks, it's best to book in as soon as possible. Even if your dress isn’t here yet, securing your spot now means you avoid any potential rush fees, depending on the season. It also allows us to begin planning for your fittings as soon as the dress arrives. Don’t wait – fill out the booking form or book your fitting as soon as your schedule allows, and we’ll make sure your dress is ready for the big day!
Don’t Forget
Your dress fitting timeline is important! Ideally, 10-12 weeks before your wedding is the sweet spot for booking. If you’re less than 8 weeks out, don’t panic – depending on the season, rush fees may apply, but if you’ve pre-secured your spot, there’s no extra charge.
At the end of the day, every bride’s journey is different, but booking early gives you one less thing to worry about. When you’re ready, just fill out our Future Bride Request Form, and we’ll take care of the rest.
