Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I wear black to a wedding?
A: While black is no longer completely taboo, style it carefully. Choose elegant fabrics like satin, add colorful accessories, and ensure your overall look is celebratory rather than somber. For daytime weddings, other colors are generally better choices.

Q: Is it okay to wear white with a pattern?
A: If the dress is predominantly white, avoid it. If it's a print with a white background but the white is minimal, it's generally acceptable - but use your judgment. When in doubt, choose another color.

Q: How formal should I dress for a garden wedding?
A: Garden weddings typically call for semi-formal attire. Midi dresses, elegant prints, and comfortable heels or wedges are perfect. Check the invitation for specific dress code guidance.

Q: What if I'm between sizes?
A: For most of our dresses, we recommend sizing up if you're between sizes, especially for more structured styles. Check individual product pages for specific sizing notes.

Q: Can I wear a mini dress to a wedding?
A: For casual, daytime, beach, or garden weddings, tasteful mini dresses are acceptable. For formal, evening, or religious ceremonies, opt for midi or maxi lengths.

Q: How quickly can I get my dress delivered?
A: We offer free UK delivery on all orders. Standard delivery typically takes 5-7 working days. For urgent orders, please contact our customer service team.
