We are only satisfied when you are.

Step 1 - The first contact<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Good preparation, even more choice<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You can make an appointment<\/a> for the first fitting session online. We will then contact you. Perhaps you’ve already seen some dresses that appeal to you and can collect some pictures, for example via Pinterest. If we know what you like, we can even borrow extra sample dresses from our suppliers.

<\/p>

Then the chance that your dream dress is among them is even greater! Tip: take plenty of time to find your wedding dress. Fitting between 12 to 8 months before the wedding<\/strong> causes the least stress. You’ll also have plenty of choice and all dresses can still be ordered without extra costs. Don’t have much time left? No worries! You can also choose a floor model or a dress that is available quickly. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The time has come: you’re coming to try on dresses with us. Let the magic begin! During the 2.5-hour fitting appointment<\/strong>, you and your party will be warmly welcomed by our stylist. First, you can browse through the 400 wedding dresses on the rack yourself and indicate (with bows) which ones you like best.

Based on these dresses and the pictures you sent in advance, you’ll head into the fitting room with a selection of 4 to 5 dresses. We only have one size hanging for most dresses, but we pin the dress carefully. So you can definitely see how the dress looks on you. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

During the fitting, some dresses will be set aside, but we’ll also pick out other dresses based on your reaction. Often 2 or 3 remain that you want to try on again. Sometimes it’s clear quickly which dress it will be, sometimes it’s hard to choose. Above all, be honest and trust your feelings. Are you beaming with happiness in the dress? Then that’s the one\u2026 Say yes to the dress!<\/strong> We celebrate with a glass of bubbles and take photos of you and your party to capture this special moment. Finally, you’ll hear from us how the process continues and you’ll get a gift to take home. Mission accomplished! <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

And then the moment is here\u2026 After a long wait, your dream dress has arrived<\/strong>! (Delivery time is usually between 4 and 6 months.) We’ll contact you to see if you’d like to schedule an extra appointment for a special styling moment.<\/p>

<\/p>

You’ll come to the shop for an hour and try on your dress. Bring your own shoes and any accessories, such as a beautiful veil, striking jewelry, hairpins, or a tiara\u2026 La Nova also has an extensive collection of accessories we can try. We’ll make the look completely complete<\/strong> during this appointment. Altering the dress happens at the next step. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The moment when everything clicks<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Your wedding dress must, of course, fit perfectly and the length must be right. But that’s usually not yet the case with the delivered bridal gown. So we have the dress altered<\/strong>. 6 to 8 weeks before your wedding, you’ll receive a message that you can schedule an appointment.

We work with regular tailors<\/strong> who pin the dress for you and tailor it to your size. They can also make small adjustments, such as adding sleeves or straps to the dress. Finally, it’s ready for the last fitting. If there’s still anything then, it can be resolved immediately (or in consultation at a later time). Let the big day come! <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
