Appointments
We offer a range of different types of appointments in our boutique.
You can shop our Collection Gowns, have your own Custom Gown designed, or if you have already found your dream dress, we can make the final touches to it through Alterations.
Each of our dresses are inspired by love stories of lasting love, so you too can express your love through your bridal look.
They are available to try at our Boutique in Hawkes Bay.

Our Collection Gowns are made-to-order, which means we will make it especially for you.
We usually need 4 fitting appointments in our Boutique across a number of months.
Or you are able to order to your standard dress size according to our size chart, and get any necessary alterations made with your own dressmaker.
We work to a 12 week minimum timeframe, and maximum of 12 months prior to your wedding date.

We do not have an online shop but you can order a Collection Gown by getting in touch via email. You can choose your standard dress size according to our size chart, and get any necessary alterations made with your own dressmaker.
We work to a 12 week minimum timeframe, and maximum of 12 months prior to your wedding date.

Our Collection Gowns range from $2,995 to $5,995.
Any additional customisations may incur an extra cost.
A Custom Gown is one-of-a-kind made especially for you.
If your dream dress is an original idea, or you haven't found it already, I would love to create it for you.
This process requires a minimum of 12 weeks, but the more time we have the better, so don't be shy to book in for a consult up to a year in advance.

A Custom Gown is a dress made especially for you to your design and size requirements. It is a really great way to create something unique just for you!
We usually need 4-5 fitting appointments in our Boutique across a number of months. We work to a 12 week minimum timeframe, and maximum of 12 months prior to your wedding date.
Each appointment is scheduled for between 30-60 minutes unless otherwise requested.
-
If you have any inspiration images of dresses or fabrics you love, bring them with you to your initial consultation appointment and this can be a great starting point.
You are welcome to bring a trusted friend or family member with you too.
-
Your first appointment is complimentary, and at this appointment we can discuss your budget and what factors will contribute to the cost of your dress, and come up with a total cost.
As a custom gown is a unique design and made especially for you, it will usually cost more than off-the-rack gowns.
Alterations
If you have already found your dream dress but it needs a few alterations (or a lot!), I am here to help.
This process consists of 3-4 fittings across a 10-12 week timeframe.
Wedding season (November-March) is always very busy and the more time we have the better, so don't be shy to book in your fittings up to a year in advance.

We want to get the perfect fit on your wedding dress, and this usually consists of 3-4 fitting appointments in our Boutique across a 10-12 week timeframe.
But the more time the better, so don't be shy to get in touch up to a year in advance.
Each appointment is scheduled for 30 minutes unless otherwise requested.
-
You will need to bring with you your wedding dress, wedding shoes and any underwear you're planning to wear on your big day.
You are welcome to bring a trusted friend or family member with you too.
-
It is difficult to know a cost without seeing your dress in person. So we recommend booking a complimentary appointment with us, to see your dress on you and know what needs altering, and then we can give you a quote.
For last-minute requests, I have a special process to accommodate them and an additional fee will be applied to the regular alteration costs.
