FAQs
​
Can i just walk in to the boutique or do i need to book an appointment ?
You will need to book an appointment to come and visit us at Trudy Smith. This is because our brides are given full exclusive and private use of the boutique for their appointment. We recommend booking your appointment in advance, especially if you require a weekend appointment as these tend to book up quickly.
What sizes are the dresses you have in the boutique?
Our sizes range from a UK 8 to a UK 28 with our average sample gown in the boutique being a UK 12 - 18.
We hold a wide range of sizes and styles, these can be viewed on our website.
How far in advance should i start looking for wedding dresses ?
We recommend starting the search for your gown 12-18 months before the big day, but most importantly when you are ready to say "yes" to the dress!
Please remember that gowns are made to order and take on average 4-6 months for us to receive your gown from the designer. We then need to allow enough time for your accessory appointment, alterations appointments, and final fitting.
​
How long will my appointment last ?
We allow 1.5 hours for your first bridal styling appointment. This will usually allow more then enough time to try on a variety of dresses. If you feel you need to come back and re-try any styles before saying "yes" to your dress, that isn't a problem we can happily arrange this!
