Some answers to our most frequently asked questions.
-
How far in advance do I need to start looking for my dress?
In order to ensure you’re not rushed with your decision-making, we recommend that you begin dress shopping 9-12 months in advance of your wedding date, purchasing 8-10 months in advance of your wedding date. This is the ideal, not the absolute, and we can almost always accommodate rush order.
-
Do I need an appointment?
Yes, our private fittings are by appointment only and are recommended for brides who are on the serious hunt and ready to purchase their made-to-order gown. Please use our online application for appointments and we will be in touch within 24 hours to schedule a time for you.
-
How long does the appointment go for? Is there a fee?
Our private fittings are for 90 minutes. We charge a fee for our appointments, redeemable on your wedding dress order.
-
How much do your dresses cost?
Our bespoke dresses, are handmade in Europe using the finest materials, delivered to you in an exclusively private setting – all at an accessible price point.
Floor Length dresses range between $5500-$10,000 – the majority ranging from $5500-$7000.
We choose our designers for their quality, integrity and commitment to European-made materials. -
What does made-to-order mean?
Made-to-order means that there is no stock of your gown and the making of the gown begins once you place your order. The most important thing to note is that made-to-order gowns are ordered to the closest numerical dress size based on the measurements taken at your Carte Blanche Bride appointment. The gown is not made to exact measurements (which is referred to as "made-to-measure"). In order to achieve the perfect fit, you will then need to seek the assistance of a seamstress or tailor.
-
What size are your sample dresses?
We have samples ranging from AU8-12. Showroom sample gowns vary in size from designer to designer. Unfortunately, it is not possible to stock all sizes for all gowns, but we know the cuts and styles back to front to assist you.
