“Be open to- and have fun with different styles. Most brides arrive with an idea of what they would like and are surprised when they try something a little different.
Most importantly, listen to your heart – you will know and feel when it’s the one!”

Jessica Maybery
Senior Bridal Consultant – Cape Town
“Be open minded during the consultation, if you aren’t sure about a certain silhouette or look, try it on! Sometimes a certain design or style will surprise you. Listen to your heart as you will know the difference between just a pretty dress and YOUR wedding dress. Say yes to the one that you are the most excited about and feel the most confident in. Most of all, have fun! This is a very exciting time, make as many memories as you can along the way.”

Store Manager & Senior Bridal Consultant – Cape Town
“Your wedding dress should be YOUR decision, it is one of the few variables you can fully control on your wedding day. Opinions from your loved ones are important but shouldn’t be the deciding factor – be confident in what YOU love.
Don’t underestimate the importance of quality – good structure, fit and fabric is everything.”
