When is the best time to order a bridal gown?
we suggest anywhere from 9 months to one year before the wedding is an ideal time to order your bridal gown. This time frame allows you to order your gown without any added stress about your delivery date, as well as time for any alterations that may need to happen to the gown in the lead up to your big day.
Once I have chosen my gown how do you know what size to order it in?
Once you have selected your gown we will take some basic body measurements (bust, waist and hips). We then compare your measurements to the closest standard size on the designers size chart. We then order the size best suited to your measurements.
What if my body shape is mixed sizing?
If you measure out at different sizes in your bust, waist, and hips then we will take in account the dress style and usually order the larger size according to your measurements however every situation is different.
I have ordered my dress, now what happens?
Congratulations on falling in love with a Timeless Elegance Gown! We will place the order with our designer and then the dress will get made. This process takes quite a while and is why we quote a 4-6 month delivery time frame. Once the gown is complete the designer lets us know that your gown is ready and sends it off to us. Once we receive the gown we complete a quality check and call you to let you know the good news. At this point we would request that you come in for an appointment to try YOUR gown on. You can use this as a great opportunity if you are wanting to have a look at any of our accessories and veils to try it on with your dress. After the initial appointment you can either take you dress home or we can store it in-store until we start the alterations process.
How long does a Bridal appointment go for?
We allow an hour for bridal appointments, during this time we will initially have a talk to you about your wedding and what style you are after. We will help you choose a selection of gowns for you to try on. We will make recommendations for you based on what we see as we go through the fitting process. Plese be aware that there will be a Bridal stylist in the change room with your helping you in to the gowns.
Do I need to prepare anything for my appointment?
No not at all! but feel free to bring any pictures of dresses you like to help the consultant get an idea of the style you are wanting. I would also suggest that if possible you wear nude coloured underwear as coloured or black underwear can be quite noticable under some of the gowns. Also keep in mind that a bridal stylist will be in the change room with you to help you into the gowns.
What payment options do you offer?
We offer a 6 month layby. We require a 40% deposit to order the gown and then monthy payments for the remainder of the layby, these payments can be made in-store, over the phone or via direct deposit. Of course we always welcome cash or credit card payments up front.
What price range are your bridal gowns?
Our Bridal gowns start off at $1250 and go up to $3599 for our orderable range. We also have a sale room with gowns up to 50% off and starting at $200
I have found my dream gown at Timeless Elegance but would like to think about it for a few days do i need to come back in to order the gown?
No you don't need to come back in unless you would like to. At your initial appointment we can do what is called a pending form for you, this form will take all of your details, the dress and your measurements which we can keep on file for when you are ready to place your order. This is especially handy for brides who don't live locally so you dont have to make a trip back to Launceston to place your order.
