Frequently Asked Wedding Questions

We would love to say “Yes!” to the dress with you! Our next steps will involve celebrating you and your dream dress with a glass of bubbles. We’ll arrange a small photoshoot of saying “Yes” to the dress to create lasting memories of such a special moment. Then, we’ll need to take detailed measurements of you, complete some paperwork, and process a 50% non-refundable deposit. We’ll keep you updated on your wedding dress journey with Dell’Amore Bridal and ensure you enjoy your wedding dress shopping experience with us.

Most of our unique wedding gowns come in off-white colours, including options such as blush, pink, purple, blue, peach, green, floral, ivory, champagne, and other hues. We can easily handcraft your dream wedding dress in white by changing the lining or the main fabric; most of our gowns offer both a white colour variation and a colourful option.

We would be delighted to accommodate modest design modifications to your bridal dress, such as closing or adding a skirt split, changing the sleeve and strap design, adding lining to the dress, or handcrafting an overskirt for the dress. However, we do not recommend introducing a new neckline, wedding dress silhouette, or other significant modifications. We do not offer individual designs from wedding dress sketches.
