Yes, we run by appointment only. The best way to book an appointment is to go online via our website where you will be able to view our availability and select the most convenient time and day for yourself. Alternatively, get in touch via email and we can arrange this for you. We charge a small appointment fee, which is non-refundable on cancellation.

Your experience is very important to us and to ensure our brides receive a personalised experience, we only run one appointment at any one time. This means that for the 90 minute appointment, our brides get to enjoy the exclusive use and privacy of our spacious studio with our undivided attention.

On booking your appointment you will receive a confirmation email with a few questions, which helps us to understand the vision and some of the important details, such as wedding date, and an idea of a budget you may be working towards.

On arrival we will offer you some refreshments and chat about the type of styles and fabrics. You will have the opportunity to browse our collections and we will support you in selecting the dresses you will try on during your appointment. It is always useful to have images of dresses/styles you may have already selected or have selected your favourites from viewing our website.

Whilst many bridal stores offer a menu of appointments we like to keep things simple at Little London Brides. Whether you are looking to order a new dress, or one in our sale, appointments run in the same way so that you have our undivided attention and the time to select and try on dresses in the 90 minute appointment.

You are welcome to bring guests with you to your appointment and we can comfortably seat around 4-5 people. You are also welcome to use FaceTime to invite others to join you remotely. We recognise how important it is to have the people who are going to support you to select your special dress, however too many opinions can often be overwhelming so do select carefully those who you want to be part of your day.

Selecting the right dresses is important to understand the style, fabrics and fit. We often flex this during your appointment, depending upon what you are preferring. Over the 90 minute appointment, you can expect to try on around 5-8 dresses and you will also get the opportunity to try on our beautiful veils and accessories.

We have over 200 dresses in store ranging from size 8 - 14, with the majority in UK 10 and UK 12. Not all sample dresses will fit perfectly when trying on, however we do our best to help you visualise your perfect fit. When you have selected your dress, we will take your measurements and order the size nearest to the designer measurement chart which range from UK4 – UK32.

Our dresses range from £1,500 to £5500, depending on the designer and style, with the average price being around £2500-3000. Our sample sale dresses start from £500. We are always respectful of your budget and during your appointment we will guide you through the options that best suit your budget.

Achieving the perfect fit is very important to us and we work with a brilliant local seamstress who specialises in bridal alterations. On arrival of your dress, we will invite you to meet the seamstress for your first fitting at our studio. The follow up fitting appointments will take place at her studio, which is about 15 minutes from our boutique. For standard alterations, you can expect to pay between £200 – £500. Alteration costs are paid directly to our recommended seamstress.

For sample sale dresses purchased, we will share our seamstress’s details so that you can book your appointment directly.

There is nothing we enjoy more than styling our brides and achieving that unique look. Many of our brides choose to have bespoke customisation, whether it be adding sleeves, an overskirt, or designing a bespoke veil. The majority of our designers offer customisations as an additional service, depending upon the dress and type of custom change, however these can also be done via our seamstress.

We have 200 dresses in store from various international designers and our website is updated on a regular basis. The majority of our dresses are on our website but if there is a specific designer and dress please you are welcome to check with us.

If you are looking for a dress that you can’t find on our website, we are able to loan a sample from the the following designers:

• Enzoani
• Elysee Atelier
• Prive
• Pen-Liv.

Please note that Milla Nova do not have samples available to loan.

A loan fee of £45 is payable at the time of booking and is non-refundable. Please note that the majority of these samples in a UK8. To enquire please get in touch before booking your appointment so that we can check availability of the dresses and arrange to have them in for your appointment.

Nude or light coloured underwear works best, and in many cases you wont need to wear a bra due to the construction of our gowns. You don’t need to bring shoes with you for your appointment as we have some for you to wear, but if you have a favourite pair of slip ons ,you are welcome to bring them along.

We would ask you not to wear fake tan and keep makeup to a minimum to ensure that our dresses are kept as beautiful as possible for all of our brides.

When you have chosen your dress, we will take your measurements and match these up with the designer’s size charge. To order your dress, we take a 50% initial payment of the cost of the dress and veil with the balance due when the dress arrives at Little London Brides. We arrange for the dress to arrive in time to start your alterations, which is a minimum of 10-12 weeks prior the wedding. We get in touch with you to arrange a date (always a weekday) for you to meet your dress and start your alterations.

If you choose a sample dress, the dress is paid for in full and taken away on the day. We will give you the seamstress’s details so that you can contact her directly to arrange your appointment in her studio which is about 15 minute drive from us.
