Collection Care

Your Collection appointment 

You’ve waited patiently and it’s finally time to try on ‘the’ actual dress! We cannot wait to welcome you back to the studio! 

At this appointment you can enjoy time in your dress, taking photos and making memories! 

If you have not yet chosen your veil or  accessories, this is the time to do so, as it’s the final time you will be trying your dress on at the Perla Nova studio.  We will allow time for you to enjoy styling your dress and trying on any accessories you have already chosen or still require. 

Once you have tried your gorgeous gown on, this will then be carefully boxed into a storage box, ready for you to take home. 

Inside the box

At your collection appointment, you will be provided with:

Your dress carefully tissued and boxed, a gown carrier and hanger to ensure you are always fully equipped to store/transport your dress. 

Cotton gloves for your alterations appointments/dressing on the day to avoid marking your gown.

A little surprise form us!

Once the dress is home 

Your dress will be safe in the storage box providing it is kept in a clean, dry environment, away from direct light. 

For example, at the top or bottom of a wardrobe or cupboard, or under a bed. 

(It is not recommended to store your dress in a loft or garage, as these are often unstable environments for a wedding dress). 

After Alterations

Within your storage box will be a gown carrier and hanger ready for your seamstress appointment. Once your alterations are completed, you can then continue to store your dress either in the gown carrier or box.
