Appointments at Legend Bridal

 
 

Whether trying on wedding dresses is the most exciting thing ever or the most stressful part - we’re here for you…

Tucked away, out of view of the hustle and bustle of Darwen, our studio is a haven for all alternative souls searching for the dress that makes them feel like a goddess.

Our showroom, with is gothic arches, gargoyles and helping hands, creates the perfect calming atmosphere for you to try on our collection and discover your wedding altar ego.

We know the process can be daunting, so this page carries everything you will need to plan your visit

Our philosophy is simple:

To help you feel like a goddess on your wedding day.

Whether you want to feel like a nymph straight out of your favourite fantasy novel, or a demon coming into their power, we want nothing more than for you to feel like the most bad-ass version of yourself on your wedding day.

Before your appointment we will send you a little questionnaire that will help us prepare for your appointment. Little questions like when and where you’re getting married, to more fluid questions about styles and themes, and really important questions about any concerns or stress points that we might need to be aware of.

But first and foremost, we are a safe space. No matter your race, gender, sexuality, size, age, truly, if you feel like you want to wear a Legend dress then you belong here. Our inclusive environment ensures that every individual in honoured and respected.

  • We aren’t into pressure tactics, that’s not our style. We want you to be confident and happy in your choice and encourage you to get in touch as soon as you are ready.

    Our current lead time is 12 months to fit you in our schedule. So we suggest getting in a couple of months before that to make sure you have enough time

  • An appointment is 1.5 hours and you have exclusive use of the studio to try on as many dresses as you wish.

    In most cases this is plenty of time to narrow down your ideas and make your selection.

    We don’t want you to feel pressured into making any decisions, so if this isn’t enough time we encourage you to book a second appointment.

  • Our studio is a cosy, relaxing and intimate space.

    We recommend ‘you plus 2’ as an ideal party size. This is the perfect for a comfortable appointment where you can get the opinions of your most trusted people and ask all those important questions without any pressure.

    The most we can accommodate is 4 guests.

  • We try to cover a wide range of sizes in our collection, but not every style is available in every size.

    Each design is available in 2 different sizes and our samples range from a UK8 to a UK30.

  • We believe you should have all the information upfront so all our prices are on the website.

    If you choose a collection dress with modifications there will be additional charges priced individually.

    For bespoke designs our prices start at £2000 and depend heavily on fabrics and details

    Payment plans:

    You can secure your order in our diary for just £300. This ensures that we save time in our production schedule for you.

    From there you can split the invoice into as many payments as work for you.

    We only have 2 conditions:

    • 50% must be paid off by 10 months before your wedding as this is the LATEST we can start your order.

    • Everything must be paid off before you collect your wedding dress

  • For collection dresses:

    We take your measurements when you place your order and work to these measurements. We work to our standard size chart and create your dress to the closest standard size (to keep costs and time to a minimum).

    Your dress will be ready to start fittings roughly 3 months before your wedding and we recommend booking 3 fittings in the lead up to your wedding to ensure the perfect fit.

    If you are travelling a long way and aren’t able to make those fittings you are absolutely welcome to book in with a bridal alterationist closer to home.

    For bespoke designs:

    For unique designs that are not based on our collection dresses the process is quite different.

    We will start with a toile fitting, which is a cotton mock-up., followed by several fittings. The number of fittings can depend on the design. We will always work with you to create a timeline that works for both of us.

    WHAT IF I CHANGE SHAPE?

    We understand that life happens, and build a size flexibility into your dress. Alterations within that 2” leeway are free of charge.

    If there are fluctuations more than 2” please do tell as as soon as you can. Depending on time we may be able to change the size that we cut or with discussion we may be able to change the schedule.

    If there are significant changes to the original measurements there may be additional costs incurred which we will discuss with you.
