Unless ordering a custom-made gown, chances are that your beautiful dress will need altering in some shape or form. Often the most expensive item of clothing you will ever splurge on, it’s important that your wedding dress fits and flatters you in all the right spots. So, whether you need your dress taken up or want to have your waist accentuated a little more finely, perhaps you want certain detail such as sleeves added or removed, there are a whole host of changes you can have made to your wedding dress and we are here to help advise how long this should take and how many appointments you may require for the entire process.

And once you have the outfit for the main event sorted, you can start to plan your wardrobe for all other wedding-related events. From bridal showers to your bachelorette do, your rehearsal dinner to day two celebrations, perhaps even your engagement party for those just embarking on the wedding planning journey, we have assembled our choice looks for all wedding events which call for the perfect Little White Dress.
