Dresses & Accessories

Ah, the wedding dress. The Dress. At The Whitewed Directory, we know that this is THE most exciting, daunting and occasionally a bit of a stressful aspect to getting married. Worry not, our bridal boutiques, studios and dressmakers come highly recommended, not least because they have been thoroughly vetted and approved.

We know that dress shopping is top of the list for many, but we recommend two things – firstly, wait until you have booked your wedding venue, and secondly, plan your dress buying trips around 12 months before your big day, as this way you will be shopping in the season that you will be getting married in – this is so helpful when choosing styles as well as having access to the very latest designs.

Also, have a good think about who will be coming with you to your appointments. You need them to be honest, yet positive...and almost as excited as you are.

Try not to go at weekends and always make an appointment so that the person helping you can give you their undivided attention. Let the stylist offer their advice, too. They're the wedding dress experts and they know about colour, fit, fabric and style. In all likelihood they'll have something in mind for you as soon as you come in!

Don't forget or underestimate your accessories too - from your shoes to your veil and finishing touches, our tip-top companies are experts in their field and will ensure that you finish your bridal 'look' to perfection with their beautiful offerings!
