What happens at your Bijoux Bridal appointment

Bridal gown shopping at Bijoux begins with a private 90-minute appointment, all yours from the moment you arrive until you leave. Your experienced bridal stylist opens by quizzing you on the wedding details: the venue, the season, any gowns that have piqued your interest online, and anything you’ve already crossed off the list. Equipped with that brief, they choose gowns from across the store to match your vision, and they’ll often throw in a few you’d never have picked yourself but that they think will suit you.

Within a private fitting area, you and your guests, typically up to three with further capacity available upon request, are invited to sample each piece, whilst our stylists remain on hand to aid with buttons and lacing, sharing thoughtful guidance on how assorted fabrics and silhouettes enhance your figure.

Don’t bother watching the clock, and zero pressure to choose on the spot! Certain brides find their dream wedding dress on the first fitting, whilst others like to pop back for a second visit to narrow down their favourites.

Your wedding dress experience has been designed to seem like a memorable day out instead of a sales appointment, with the fizz cooled and ready the moment you step through the door.

For over 15 years, our expert stylists have been guiding brides towards the gown of their dreams, and the knowledge they share is born from working with thousands of brides covering every shape, size, and personal style imaginable.

Bridesmaid dresses and bridal accessories

Picture this. Your complete bridal party, dressed beautifully, all sorted beneath the same warm roof. We stock bridesmaid dresses and accessories from design houses whose workmanship reflects the standard and bridal fashion of our wedding gown selections, providing a glorious selection of colours, fabrics, and lengths to choose from.

Inviting your bridesmaids into the discussion when you book? Genius move! Our stylists will hand-pick options that enhance your gown’s colour palette and tie in wonderfully with the entire look you’re envisioning!

Looking for bridal accessories? We have veils, headpieces and finishing pieces to perfect your look, all under one roof.

Our stylists are on hand to show you how a range of veil lengths and headpiece styles complement your chosen dress, meaning you depart with a complete picture of how everything will come together on your wedding day. Picking those ideal finishing touches becomes much easier when you can see them matched with your actual gown rather than depending on guesswork from online photos.

Alterations and custom bridal work

The moment you say yes to your dream gown, our independent seamstress steps in! And here’s the brilliant part: because she works hand in hand with the boutique, she already knows your dress back to front, the designer’s build, and exactly how that gown should sit.

They tackle the lot, from hem work and bustle work to more involved jobs like attaching sleeves, adjusting a neckline, reshaping a bodice, or adding lace detailing to individualise the design.

Scheduling your alterations at the same shop where the gown was purchased means fewer appointments and significantly less travel between locations, whilst your stylist remains directly engaged throughout the process to guarantee the finished dress reflects precisely what the two of you imagined together. This seamless service, spanning from the first discovery of your dream gown right through to the final fitting, is something the majority of Alford bridal boutiques simply cannot deliver, as they outsource alterations to external seamstresses.

Bridal shop Alford FAQ

Do I need to book an appointment?

Absolutely. Every bride is given a private ninety-minute consultation with her own stylist, and we intentionally cap concurrent appointments to protect the boutique’s tranquil atmosphere. Reserve your visit online or phone 01698 200 122.

What sizes do you stock?

Within our entire designer collection, we stock sample gowns spanning UK sizes 6 through 36. During your appointment, you’ll slip into dresses in your true size, and once you’ve found the one, your chosen gown is crafted made to order.

Can I bring guests to my bridal appointment?

You are welcome to bring up to three people with you, and should you want to bring more, simply get in touch and we will do our very best to fit you in. Many brides prefer to bring their mum, a sister, or a few close friends, but the decision is entirely yours. Some brides choose to attend the first visit alone, then bring others along to a second visit once they have reduced their selections.

How far in advance should I start wedding dress shopping?

Envision this: your dream gown, beautifully crafted and waiting to be worn. Since most designer wedding gowns take four to six months to be delivered once ordered, we advise booking that all-important first appointment around 12 to 18 months before you say “I do”. Wedding sooner? Feel free to contact us regardless.

Hundreds upon hundreds of dresses are available in store, with many prepared to bring home the same day, and rush production is offered through several of our designers.

Do you sell bridesmaid dresses?

Indeed, we do. Our bridesmaid dresses come from designers handpicked to complement our bridal collections, and you will find a beautiful selection of colours, lengths, and fabrics to match your party.

Simply let us know when you make your booking, and your stylist will happily carve out a little extra time to explore bridesmaid options with you, either during your bridal appointment or just after.
