We will be in touch prior to book your appointment, this starts approximately 6 weeks before your wedding date.

Please review our preparation list and gather everything you'll need to bring with you to your appointment.

Please get in touch if you have any questions hello@yourstrulybridal.co.nz

Your fitting appointment is allocated 1 hour; it may be shorter depending on the alterations required. We will begin by getting you into your gown, where your alterations specialist will start pinning and adjusting the fit.

This is your opportunity to feel how your gown will fit and move, so please ask as many questions as you need and don’t be afraid to speak up about any fit concerns.

Once all adjustments have been pinned, we will have you check over the gown to ensure you are happy. Then it’s time to try on any accessories you have brought and see your full bridal look come together.

We’ll provide you with a timeline for your alterations and schedule your next fitting appointment. Most alterations take approximately 4–6 weeks to complete, and we aim to have your final gown handover 1–2 weeks before your wedding day.

This allows time for any final adjustments and ensures your gown is perfectly ready for your special day.

At your second fitting, you’ll put your gown on again so we can check the final fit, length, and ensure everything feels perfect. If any further adjustments are needed, an additional fitting may be required.

Once you’re happy with your gown, we’ll walk you through all the important details before taking it home. We recommend bringing someone with you if possible, as it can be helpful to have an extra set of ears to remember details such as how to bustle your gown.

Once everything is complete, your gown is ready to take home, and it’s officially all yours!
