The Process

Please watch our Promotional Video located on the About us Page to give you a feel for how your experience will be.

Upon entering the boutique you will be offered a beverage of your choice; tea/coffee/water or Prosecco. At the start of your bridal consultation one of our consultants will begin to ask you questions about your plans for your special day. We will then take you around the boutique to show you the dresses explaining a bit about the designer and the feel of the collection. You then make your selection as you go around. Feel free to choose your own dresses as you wish or we can suggest a couple for you to try along the way.  Some brides really know what they want which is brilliant but if you don’t we are here to help with your selection.  We always advise visiting this website to look at all our dress prior to your appointment so you have a general idea of what we stock.

We offer a personal one to one consultation with one of our expert bridal consultants providing you with styling advice in a friendly and professional manner, this will take place in one of our private rooms.  We have two lovely consultation suites:  The ‘Platinum’ Suite’ for larger parties of up to x4 guests plus the bride and ‘The Diamond Suite’ for medium size parties for up to 3 guests plus the bride.  We display between 55-75 gowns spread over 5 designers, this provides a comprehensive collection without being too over facing for the bride. All consultation suites are comfortable and completely private.  You will be given a silk dressing gown to wear whilst we go and select your chosen dresses.

We understand that your perfect dress is such an individual and personal expression of yourself so don’t feel you are confined into the design of the dress. We work with some very amenable designers who embrace design changes and can always usually accommodate.  We also have access to fantastic seamstresses with over 25 years of bridal experience who offer customisations.

When you have chosen ‘the’ dress we take measurements, at the point of order we take a 50% non-refundable deposit and your dress then gets put into production. Or if you have purchased a ‘Ready to Wear’ sample dress the full amount is due as it is your dress and taken off the sales floor immediately. Upon leaving the boutique after you have chosen your dress you receive a ‘Knutsford Wedding Gallery Bridal Pack’ with all your relevant information in.

When your dress arrives in the boutique you will receive that very exciting invitation email to attend your Styling Appointment to go through all your accessories you may need, we then provide you with a list of our recommended seamstress for the fittings. Then you are ready for your big day and it is always an honour and a privilege to share the experience with you. Please visit our ‘Testimonials’ page for our ‘Real Brides’ comments and our Instagram page for up to date pictures of our Real Brides big days.
