HOW WILL MY APPOINTMENT WORK?

In our appointments you will have a whole private room to yourself; offering a personal and exclusive experience. We stock our entire Made with Love current collection for you to try on and you will also have your own stylist in your appointment who will help you with any questions you have, from styling to the fit of the dress. On entering our beautiful boutique, you’ll be offered a welcome beverage. Our experienced bridal stylists will guide you through finding your perfect Made with Love bridal gown, in keeping with your wedding style and body shape. We recommend trying on 3-5 dresses.

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

It is best to do some research to determine which designs you hope to try on. We only offer certain changes for each design, and they can be found online on the page of each design. This way you can come into your appointment knowing exactly which designs you want to try on, making efficient use of the 1 hour appointment!  It can also be helpful to bring undergarments of similar styles that you will wear on your wedding day, otherwise, just bring your beautiful self, and an open mind!

CAN I BRING GUESTS TO MY APPOINTMENT?

We recommend 3 guests per bride in our Manchester bridal boutique. You are welcome to video call any family and friends who can’t be with you on the day. You can book a second appointment if needed and can bring these additional guests with you then! We want to make the experience about you and understand it’s a special time to share. Unfortunately, we do not allow children, but babies in prams are welcome.

WHAT ARE YOUR SAMPLE SIZES?

We do our best to accommodate as many beautiful body types as possible with our sample dresses. For this reason, the majority of our samples range in size from size 6-18, with a couple of designs having smaller or larger sizes available. This allows us to get the largest range of various body types, both smaller and larger. Our stylists use clips for dresses that are too big, in order to give you the best possible idea of what our dresses will fit like when they are tailored to you.

We absolutely understand that this is a major shopping experience, and it isn’t enjoyable for anyone if we don’t carry what you are looking for! If you have specific questions or if you would like to speak to someone directly about your size concerns and learn more about what we have just for you, please send us an email and we will attempt to answer any of you queries.

HOW DOES SIZING WORK?

We do things differently to other bridal labels, so we thought we’d give you a heads up on our process. Our trained stylists will help you to decide on the best size during your appointment. We feel that this allows you to be a part of the process and gives you the opportunity have more control over the entire process. When you are ready to place your order, your stylist will record your agreed size on your file. We also offer split sizes if your measurements do not match one standard size between the bust, waist and hip.

FITTINGS AND ALTERATIONS

Because we make our dresses to your best fit option but not couture/custom-made, you most likely will need alterations when you receive your dress. While we take your hollow to hem and heels into account, the length and straps of your dress may need to be shortened according to your personal preference. We recommend affordable seamstresses local to our boutiques who you’re welcome to contact once you have your dress. Please budget for this. Please note that we do not offer or need second fittings when we match your measurements to our generic size chart.

WHAT IS YOUR PHOTO POLICY?

Although we allow photos, we request that you wait until the end of your appointment when you have narrowed down your selection to 1 or 2 dresses. We totally understand the temptation to take a lot of photos in your fitting; however, it can be very distracting and slows down the appointment, and ultimately, you will end up trying on fewer dresses.

WHEN TO PLACE YOUR ORDER

We have standard and priority order options available, depending on how far out your order is placed from your wedding date.  We pride ourselves on being able to accommodate orders for all brides, so we recommend discussing timelines with your stylist in your appointment as they will be able to assist you with placing the correct order type for your wedding date.  As with most things, the more time you allow to place your order ahead of your wedding date, the better.

We recommend paying for your order in full when you place your order. However, we do offer some deposit options, which we require to be paid in full 3 months after the initial payment. For more information on pay, please contact us directly atmanchester@madewithlovebridal.com

Please see our Terms and Conditions for all orders placed here.

POST-WEDDING CARE

Did you know MWL also offers a professional cleaning service to restore your gown to her former glory after she sees you through your wedding day? Ask your stylist in your appointment how you can add professional cleaning to your dress order for a worry-free post-wedding cleaning experience.
