Your Shopping Experience
Congratulations, you're engaged! Chances are, you've never shopped for a wedding dress before. It might be a bit different to a usual shopping trip - there's a lot more to it than popping into a shop, picking out a dress and taking it home! Here's our handy guide to talk you through the process, and we'll be here to support you every step of the way!
The Bridal Appointment
(90 Minutes)
At Courtyard Bridal, we believe that every single bride who walks through our doors is a V.I.P. This complimentary 90-minute appointment is all about you, your style, and our undivided attention. You’ll have the entire boutique to yourself, allowing you to explore our collections in a calm, private, and friendly environment.
Our focus during this session is purely on the artistry of the gown. To ensure our dresses remain in pristine, "ready-to-wear" condition for you and future brides, we don’t serve refreshments during your appointment. Instead, we dedicate every second to expert styling and technical advice—drawing on our 24 years of dressmaking heritage to help you find a silhouette that fits your vision and your figure perfectly. It’s a focused, professional, and warm experience designed to make finding your dress feel effortless and exciting.
What to Expect:
-
Always Free: Expert advice shouldn't come with a price tag.
-
Purely Bridal: A focused environment where the dresses (and you!) are the stars.
-
Expert Hands: Styling guidance from a team that truly understands garment construction.
-
Total Privacy: The boutique is closed to the public, so you can feel completely at ease.
