Frequently Asked Questions

You're welcome to bring up to 3 guests to your appointment, due to space available in the boutique. 

A lot of opinions can sometimes be overwhelming and can distract you from finding your dream dress. We recommend bringing those who's opinions you truly value. If you fall in love with a dress and those people have different opinions, would this change your mind? 

We strongly advise coming prepared to say yes to your dress on the day and inviting those who you want to be there, if the WOW moment happens. This is a moment you cannot replay, so if you want a particular person to be there when you say yes, make sure they are there for your initial appointment!

Our samples go up to a UK18 but we will be expanding our range as soon as possible. Our samples can fit various shapes and sizes. Your comfort and dignity are a priority for us, so we will always cover any exposed skin if the sample is a little small and clip you in if it the sample is too big. We can order all dresses in ANY size!

You can book via our website or DM us on Instagram/Facebook @moderndaybridal

Our services are by appointment only. If you would like to visit outside of our usual opening hours, please message us and we will accommodate where possible.

We recommend starting your search as early as possible but ideally 12-18 months before your wedding day. Gowns are made new just for you and orders can take 3-6 months to arrive in store. If your wedding is in less than 3 months and you are yet to find 'the one', please contact us and we will do our best to help you. We can process rush orders if required for an extra charge. We also have samples available to take home the same day, all priced at £599!

We would advise wearing seamless knickers if you're interested in trying a fitted dress. Any bra is fine, as most dresses have built in support and we advice taking this off if you are comfortable doing so. If you feel more comfortable keeping your bra on for the fitting, we recommend a strapless nude. It is not essential to have chosen your shoes but if you do have them already, bring them along so that you can envision the full look.

Each initial appointment lasts 1 hour 15 minutes. If you need more time to decide on your dress, there is absolutely no pressure and you can book further appointments to continue your search. Another option is to book a double appointment, if you would like the luxury of having a longer appointment for 2 hours 30 minutes.

Dresses retail at £900-£3000

We have a wide range of dresses to suit most budgets. Sample dresses will be on sale throughout the year and will usually be heavily discounted.
