Brides may bring up to 4 guests with them to their appointment. Our space is cosy and we want to ensure everyone feels comfortable throughout the appointment. You are welcome to video chat with offsite friends and family or you can always make another appointment for the rest of your crew once you've found your dress and are ready for the big "reveal".
Advice: The bigger the entourage the more opinions that are offered. With larger groups you are more likely to become overwhelmed, confused and it will make it that much harder to come to a consensus - bringing you farther away from what you actually want.
Yes, we encourage pictures! Remember to tag us #thelaidbackbride if you choose to share!

We wouldn't recommend shopping more than 12 months in advance and until you are ready to purchase. There is always the possibility that if you buy too early you may fall out of love with the dress. It’s important to have the rest of your wedding details in place also before you can truly shop for a dress, since many factors can influence the style. At the same time don’t procrastinate, you will need to take into consideration how long it will take for production and delivery plus time for alterations.
Our garments are handmade on a made-to-order basis, please allow up to 3-5 months for production and delivery. We also recommend allowing 4-6 weeks prior to your wedding for alterations. If you don't have this timeframe to work with we do sell our samples off the rack (at discounted prices) from time to time. Samples available for purchase are listed on the website, alternatively you can enquire at info@tlbbride.com.
So you've found your dream design and you're ready to order! Simply click on your chosen dress, select your size and the colour then add to cart. Be sure to include your wedding date and any additional notes in the "order note" section (eg. measurements etc.) when completing check out. Your order will then be processed the next business day. A notification will be sent via email confirming your order and then again once your order is ready for shipping/pickup.
Whether you're purchasing online or in studio we will guide you step by step to determine the best size and fit. For online shoppers we're also happy to arrange an online video consultation if necessary.
Please refer to our measuring guide which provides you with instructions on taking measurements.
We recommend having a friend assist you or alternatively, have a seamstress of your choosing take your measurements. You can then use our size chart to select the size that best corresponds to your measurements or send your specific measurements to us if choosing the Made-to-Measure option.
If you are unsure or between sizes feel free to contact us with your measurements and we will help guide you.
All wedding dresses require some alterations to ensure a perfect fit. The most common include a hem, bustle, strap adjustment, bust adjustment and take in at the waist. If you are concerned about weight fluctuations or are purposely trying to lose weight, generally a dress can be taken in or let out one to two dress sizes without compromising the integrity of the original design.
You will need to source alterations privately, these costs are separate and will need to be paid to the seamstress of your choosing directly.
We recommend allowing at least 4-6 weeks before your wedding for alterations to be completed.
