What happens at your Bijoux Bridal appointment
Bridal dress shopping at Bijoux commences with a exclusive 90-minute appointment that is completely dedicated to you from start to finish. Your seasoned bridal stylist begins the conversation by enquiring about your wedding day, such as the venue, the time of year, any gowns that have appealed to you online, and anything you have definitely decided against. With this information in hand, they considerately select dresses from around the boutique that match your descriptions, and they will usually include a handful of options you wouldn’t have chosen yourself but which they think will suit you beautifully.
Sample everything on in our fitting suite with your party, as many as three visitors with capacity for more on request. Our experts are on hand to help with buttons, lacing, and describing how different fabrics and silhouettes complement your figure.
There is no hurry against the clock and no requirement to commit on the day itself. A number of brides discover their perfect wedding gown during the initial appointment, while others choose to return for a second visit to narrow down their choices.
Step into a bridal experience crafted to feel less like a sales appointment and more like a cherished day out, where the fizz is chilled and waiting the moment you arrive.
Having more than 15 years of committed experience within the bridal industry, our expert stylists have guided countless brides in discovering the gown of their dreams, and the informed advice they give is based on working closely with thousands of brides spanning every shape, size, and personal style preference.
Bridesmaid dresses and bridal accessories
Your entire bridal party can be outfitted beneath one roof. We offer bridesmaid dresses and accessories from designers whose artistry and bridal aesthetic align seamlessly with our wedding dress ranges, presenting selections across an wide palette of hues, fabrics, and lengths.
Bringing your bridesmaids into the chat when you book? Brilliant move! Our stylists will carefully select options that enhance your gown’s colour palette and tie in seamlessly with the entire look you’re envisioning!
When it comes to wedding accessories, our range includes veils, headpieces and finishing touches that complete your wedding day style, so there is no need to shop anywhere else.
Our stylists are able to illustrate how various veil lengths and headpiece styles enhance your chosen gown, making sure you leave with total clarity on how every component will harmonise on your wedding day. Choosing those perfect finishing touches becomes far more straightforward when you can see them paired with your actual dress, rather than depending on guesswork from online photos.
Alterations and custom bridal work
Say yes to your gown and our trusted seamstress takes over. She works side by side with the boutique, so she already understands the dress, the designer’s construction, and just how the gown should hang.
They tackle the whole lot, from hemming and bustle work to larger jobs like attaching sleeves, altering a neckline, reshaping a bodice, or including lace accents to customise the design.
Scheduling your alterations at the very store where the gown was bought translates into fewer appointments and much less travel between locations, whilst your stylist remains personally engaged throughout the process to make sure the finished dress captures precisely what the two of you pictured together. This seamless service, spanning from the first discovery of your dream gown right through to the final fitting, is something the majority of Alva bridal boutiques simply cannot provide, as they outsource alterations to external seamstresses.

Bridal shop Alva FAQ
Do I need to book an appointment?
Certainly. Every bride is given a dedicated ninety minute consultation with her own personal stylist, and we purposefully restrict the number of concurrent appointments so that the boutique keeps its calm, unhurried ambience. Book your appointment via our website or telephone 01698 200 122.
What sizes do you stock?
Our full designer collection offers sample gowns spanning UK sizes 6 to 36, ensuring every bride is catered for. Throughout your appointment, you will try gowns on in your true size, and after you have made your selection, your selected dress will be made to order.
Can I bring guests to my bridal appointment?
Bring up to four guests along, and if you feel like bringing more, just give us a shout and we’ll try our hardest to accommodate you! Most brides arrive with their mum, a sister, or a couple of close friends, but really? It’s totally your decision. Some brides in fact prefer going alone for that first visit, then bringing the crew along for a second appointment once they’ve narrowed down their favourites.
How far in advance should I start wedding dress shopping?
Here’s the thrilling bit! We recommend booking your initial appointment around 12 to 18 months before your big day, as most designer wedding gowns take a full four to six months to be delivered after ordering. Wedding happening sooner? Don’t stress, chat to us anyway!
Plenty of stunning dresses are ready for you in store, and guess what? A selection are ready to take home that very day! Need it quickly? Fast-track production is absolutely on the cards with a number of our brilliant designers!
Do you sell bridesmaid dresses?
Absolutely. We offer bridesmaid dresses from brands that pair well with our bridal collections, providing a selection of colours, lengths and fabrics.
Just give us a quick note when you book, and your stylist will be happy to reserve time to explore bridesmaid options with you, either within or after your bridal appointment!
