2. Please no fake tan it gets on our beautiful gowns.

4. You do not need to bring heels with you but it’s a good idea to.

7. You are more than welcome to take photos of the boutique and your experience all I ask is you tag my Instagram handle @natalierosebridal

8. Please come with an open mind and an open heart it’s easy to go down a rabbit hole looking at wedding dresses on social media. What you like photos of VS what you like on you can be vastly different.

9. Please be on time and if you arrive early and want to come sooner please call me first on 0221976714 to make sure I have finished with my prior bride.

10. The gowns range from $2500 to $7000 with most sitting between $3000 to $4000. I won’t ask your budget upfront but if you would like to make me aware of this incase you fall in love with a gown outside your budget please feel free to tell me.

Finally, my last piece of advice as a bride to be myself who has gone through this experience herself is – take peoples opinions into consideration but also pay attention to how a dress makes you feel. I came so close to choosing a dress that my mother and Mother in law preferred on me over what I actually wanted and I’m so pleased I followed my heart.

Even after all the wedding dresses I have looked at/tried on/purchased for my shop I still know the wedding dress I bought was my perfect gown and it still makes me so happy. Trust your heart and all will be ok.
