Vanilla Bridal - Planning
Imagine yourself on the day, walking down the aisle, what do you see? Do you have an idea of what you want to look and feel like? If you do that is great, if not don't worry because our knowledgeable, friendly staff are on hand to help you. We want you to look and feel truly amazing on your wedding day.
Bring a friend or your mum - you want to share this experience but also want an honest opinion from someone who knows you well. We will help make it fun by adding accessories and talking to you about the groom and bridesmaids styles so that everything is complementary.
Let's not forget, it is about you not the dress. We are experienced at creating a unique look. Come and chat, have a glass of wine and share your ideas with one of our team who will guide you through all the stunning options before you and help create the right look for you.
Here are some frequently asked questions that might be helpful to plan your visit to Vanilla Bridal:
Although not strictly necessary Monday-Friday, an appointment is helpful to us because we set high standards for our service and prefer to tailor our service to your requirements.
If you think you might be running short of time, Don't Panic!. While some dresses can take up to nine months from start to finish, most take between four to six months, but there are some that are more immediately available. Let us know your situation and we will work with you to select from what is available.
Where are you getting married? Is it formal or more relaxed? The dress you choose can reflect the style of wedding you are having so it helps to have a picture in your mind of the type of venue you will have so you can discuss it with our team.
If you are familiar with your body shape it helps us narrow down a shortlist of suitable gowns for you to try. If you are uncertain, then we'll offer different styles for you to try on and explain how each works differently to flatter and enhance various parts of your figure.
When it comes to the colour of your gown, do you want to be traditional in ivory or the highly fashionable white? Your skin and hair tone may be enhanced with a different shade, like champagne. We can discuss this with you so that you are confident you have made the best choice. We can also discuss seasonal touches and explore your more daring ideas.
