FAQs

 

  • Yes, because of the highly personalised service we offer, and private use of the studio, booking is essential.

  • Our studio can comfortably seat the bride and a maximum of 3 guests.

    We recommend bringing those whose opinion you value the most. If you cannot imagine having your ‘yes’ moment without your mum, best friend or any other special person in your life, please ensure they can make your appointment. Because of the unique styling service we offer, most brides find ‘the one’ on their first visit. We want you to feel prepared for this and be able to share your moment with your significant people.

    We kindly request that you do not bring young children to your appointment (with the exception of babies in arms), due to the danger of leaning mirrors and abundance of white!

  • We recommend at least a year in advance where possible. This will allow time for delivery, alterations, finishing touches and a relaxed experience.

    This is only an ideal, we can absolutely work within shorter time frames. This may incur an extra rush cut fee, but can make all the difference in getting ‘the one’ here in time for your day.

  • We highly recommend wearing underwear close to your skin shade for trying on dresses. Most of our dresses have built in bra cups so you may find you are more comfortable not wearing a bra.

    We have a bridal podium for you to stand and view dresses (as well as some very beautiful Charlotte Mills shoes in the changing room), but feel free to bring your own heels if you prefer.

  • Our sample sizes range from a UK 6-16 with the majority being a size 10 or 12.

    We have plenty of tricks to show how a dress that is too small or too large will fit in your size.

    All are available to order from a UK 2-30+ and are available either made to measure (made to your own measurements) or with split sizing (different size top to bottom, i.e. 10 top 12 bottom) as an option.

  • The dresses in our collection are priced between £2,000 and £4,000, with the majority being around £2,500. Additionally, a small selection of our Jenny Yoo dresses are priced just below £2,000.

  • You are very welcome to snap away yourself and your guests in the studio interior to mark the occasion!

    We do not allow photos to be taken in our sample dresses (at the request of my designers) but, you are of course welcome to take as many as you like in your own gown.

  • Congratulations on becoming a Perla Nova bride! We have multiple payment options available. The most frequently chosen is a 50% part payment at the point of order, with the remaining balance being divided into monthly payments.
