How far in advance should I book my first bridal appointment?
We recommend booking your initial bridal appointment approximately 12 months before your wedding date. Many of our gowns use specialty fabrics with longer lead times, and an unhurried fitting schedule allows us to achieve the most beautiful result.
How far in advance should I book an eventwear appointment?
For eventwear, we recommend booking at least four months in advance of your event date.
How long does an appointment last?
Appointments typically last 90 minutes, allowing time for discussion, styling advice and trying on gowns in a relaxed, private setting.
How many guests may I bring to my appointment?
To maintain the exclusivity of the Atelier and ensure the highest level of service, we can accommodate the bride plus up to two guests per appointment.
What should I bring to my appointment?
We recommend wearing nude underwear and bringing a strapless bra if you have one. Many brides also find it helpful to bring inspiration images and photos of their wedding venue, which allow your stylist to better understand your vision and overall aesthetic.
What happens during a bridal consultation?
Your appointment begins with a conversation about your wedding or event, your personal style and your vision. Your dedicated stylist will then guide you through the collection, suggesting gowns or outfits that best complement your figure, personality and venue. You will have the opportunity to try on selected designs and explore different silhouettes and
fabrics.
Are your gowns made to measure?
Yes. All gowns ordered from our Knightsbridge Atelier are made to measure. Once you have selected your gown, our Head of Fittings will take detailed measurements to ensure a flawless, couture-level fit.
How many fittings will I need?
Most brides attend four to five fittings, scheduled throughout the production process, to perfect the fit and finishing of the gown.
How long does it take to make my gown?
Production times vary depending on the design, fabric and time of year. Bridal gowns typically take six to eight months from order to completion. Eventwear lead times are usually shorter.
Do you offer rush orders?
In some cases, rush orders may be possible depending on design complexity and fabric
availability. Please discuss your timeline with your stylist as early as possible.
What is the price range of your gowns?
Bridal gowns at our Knightsbridge Atelier typically range from £5,000 to £9,000, depending on design, fabric, detailing and customisation. Bespoke couture pieces start from approximately £15,000.
Eventwear pricing typically starts from £3,000. Your stylist will discuss pricing clearly and transparently during your appointment.
Do you work with international brides?
Yes. We regularly work with international brides and are happy to tailor fitting schedules to accommodate your travel arrangements.
