What happens at your Bijoux Bridal appointment
Wedding dress shopping at Bijoux begins with a exclusive 90-minute appointment, yours alone from beginning to end. Your experienced bridal stylist starts by exploring the wedding details: the venue, the season, any gowns that have piqued your interest online, and anything you’ve already crossed off the list. Guided by that brief, they choose gowns from across the store to meet your criteria, and they’ll usually include a few you’d never have picked yourself but that they reckon will suit you.
Experience everything on in our fitting suite with your companions, up to three visitors with room for more upon request. Our experts are available to help with buttons, lacing, and explaining how assorted fabrics and silhouettes work with your figure.
There is no pressure against the clock and no requirement to commit on the day of the appointment. Certain brides discover their perfect wedding gown during the first appointment, while others prefer to return for a second visit to finalise their choices.
Step into a bridal experience designed to feel less like a sales appointment and more like a cherished day out, where the fizz is already chilled and waiting the moment you arrive.
With more than 15 years of devoted experience within the bridal sector, our skilled stylists have helped countless brides towards choosing the gown of their dreams, and the knowledgeable advice they offer comes from working closely with thousands of brides representing every shape, size, and individual style taste.
Bridesmaid dresses and bridal accessories
Your complete bridal party can be coordinated beneath one roof. We carry bridesmaid gowns and accessories from designers whose artistry and bridal aesthetic align perfectly with our wedding dress collections, presenting choices across an extensive palette of shades, fabrics, and lengths.
While booking your appointment, do inform us about your bridesmaids so that our stylists can tailor selections that coordinate with your gown’s colour palette and blend with the complete aesthetic you aim to achieve.
In need of bridal accessories? We offer veils, headpieces and finishing pieces to complete your look, all under one roof.
Imagine this: our stylists guiding you through the way different veil lengths and headpiece styles drape against your selected dress, so you head home knowing with certainty how it all fits together on your wedding day. Those ideal finishing touches become much easier to decide on when you can truly see them paired with your gown, instead of squinting at photos online and hoping for the best.
Alterations and custom bridal work
Once you have picked your gown, our independent seamstress steps in to take over. Since she works in tight partnership with the boutique, your seamstress is already familiar with the dress, the designer’s construction, and exactly how the gown should sit.
From hemming and bustle work right through to the more significant transformations like adding sleeves, reshaping a neckline, restructuring a bodice, or weaving in gorgeous lace detailing for that personal touch, they cover it all!
Organising your alterations at the very shop where the gown was bought translates into fewer appointments and considerably less travel between locations, whilst your stylist remains directly engaged throughout the process to guarantee the finished dress mirrors precisely what the two of you envisioned together. This seamless service, spanning from the first discovery of your dream gown right through to the final fitting, is something the bulk of Portobello bridal boutiques simply cannot provide, as they outsource alterations to external seamstresses.

Bridal shop Portobello FAQ
Do I need to book an appointment?
Definitely. Every bride receives a dedicated 90-minute appointment with her own dedicated stylist, and we carefully limit how many sessions run simultaneously so the boutique stays calm and unhurried. To reserve your slot, book online or call us on 01698 200 122.
What sizes do you stock?
Here’s the exciting part? We stock sample gowns in UK sizes 6 to 36 across our whole designer collection! You’ll get to try on dresses in your actual size at your appointment, and after that your dream gown is crafted to order!
Can I bring guests to my bridal appointment?
You are invited to bring up to four guests, and if you wish to include additional companions, please contact us and we shall endeavour to accommodate your request. The majority of brides choose to bring their mother, a sister, or a few close friends, though the choice remains entirely yours. Some brides choose to attend the initial appointment on their own, then invite loved ones to a subsequent visit once they have refined their ideas.
How far in advance should I start wedding dress shopping?
We recommend booking your initial consultation roughly twelve to eighteen months ahead of your wedding date, as the majority of designer bridal gowns need four to six months for delivery after the order being placed. Should your wedding be within a shorter timeframe, please do still contact us.
Plenty of breathtaking dresses are waiting for you in store, and guess what? Some are ready to take home that exact day! In a hurry? Fast-track production is definitely on the cards with many of our brilliant designers!
Do you sell bridesmaid dresses?
Of course! We stock beautiful bridesmaid dresses from designer brands that wonderfully complement our bridal collections, and you’ll discover a wonderful variety of colours, lengths and fabrics to choose from!
