Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

The business is LGBTQ+-owned. A shop that carries gowns in every silhouette, along with attire for the wider party, gives you a single place to look, whether you want a ball gown, a mermaid line or a simple lace dress. The team states it helps clients whatever their personal style.

What the store carries

• Wedding dresses in many silhouettes
• Lace and beaded styles
• Outfits for bridesmaids, mothers and flower girls
• Belts, jewelry, hair accessories and veils
• Alteration services

Shopping and fittings

Book an appointment and bring photos of shapes you like. Wear underlayers and shoes close to the height you plan to wear. Ask about lead times, since gowns can take months to arrive, and alterations need several fittings. Plan the final fitting a few weeks before the wedding. Bring the person who will help you dress on the day, so they can learn how to fasten the gown.

Accessories

Choose your accessories when you try the dress, so the neckline, veil and jewelry work together. Ask if bridesmaid outfits can be ordered in matching colors, and plan sizes early, as late orders can run into delays.

Questions couples ask
