Do I really need an appointment?

Couture Threads is here to give you the attention you deserve. While we do not require an appointment, we do encourage you to make one prior to your first visit so that we can give you the best service available. Would you like to set up an appointment today?

How many people can I bring to an appointment?

As many as you want. However, we recommend that you bring only 2 or 3 of your trusted family members and friends. If you plan to bring more than 3 guests, or if you or any of your guests have special needs, please let us know ahead of time, so that we can be prepared to accommodate them.

I’ve been a certain size for many years. Why do I need to be measured?

Sizes vary by designer. Especially in bridal fashion, different designers have different measurements assigned to size numbers. Plus, you want to be measured to ensure the perfect fit for your perfect gown. For a quick tutorial on taking correct measurements, click here...

How soon should I order my dress?

It normally takes 4-6 months to have a couture dress made and we like to leave at least a month for alterations. You should order your dress at least 6 months before your wedding date. And, don’t forget about shopping time to choose your dream design.

What should I bring to my fittings?

You should bring the undergarments and shoes you plan on wearing the day of your wedding. This ensures perfect measurements, so the dress is tailored exactly for a perfect fit.

What is a trunk show?

A trunk show is an opportunity for you to see the designer’s entire collection, including dresses that are not normally available to try on in the bridal salon. Occasionally, the designer or designer’s representative will attend the trunk show, giving you special attention and the ability to create a one-of-a-kind custom gown.

In what ways can I personalize my wedding?

There a number of ways to make your wedding completely you. You can incorporate a family heirloom with your dress or choose special colour accents; you could change the neckline or shorten the train. Small things can add the most personal touches of intimacy to any celebration of love.
