Appointments
You can book online or give us a call at (02) 4048 1110 to arrange a time.
For weekday appointments, a few days notice is recommended to get an ideal time. As for weekend appointments, they are booking out much faster and it is recommended to secure a booking at 1- 2 weeks beforehand.
No. Bookings are free and made with no charge!
For bridal and bridesmaid consultations we allow up to one hour spent in store, and on weekday appointments up to one and a half hours.
Yes, but if the store is at full capacity or there are no changing rooms available, you would have to wait until there’s an appropriate time to try on dresses in store. That is why we always recommend to book an appointment in advance.
For the best experience in store, we encourage to keep your entourage/party to a small number as we only have limited floor space. Ideally, a group of up to 3 guests works best. If you would like to bring any more than this, please notify us with as much advance as possible so that we can schedule accordingly. Weekday appointments are definitely more flexible than weekend appointments.
To keep our beautiful dresses nice and fresh, food and drink of any kind (except bottled water) is NOT permitted in store, this also includes champagne and coffee.
Yes you can! You can also facetime/video chat in store too.
Alterations and Add-ons
No. We do not provide alterations in store so alteration costs are separate to the cost of the gown.
While we do not provide alteration services in store, we have lot’s of contacts for recommended alterers located in Newcastle, Warners Bay and Taree. Please phone 40481110 for more information.

Dress Pick Ups
You can book online or just give us a call at (02) 4048 1110 and we will schedule you in. Please keep in mind to give us at least a week’s notice for pick ups so that we have plenty of time to get your dress ready for you.
Please, if you can, give us 1 – 2 week’s notice so that we can make sure the wedding gown is checked over and ready for pick up.
If you want to pick up your dress on a Saturday, it would just be for pick up only as our fitting rooms are usually booked out with bridal consultations. We recommend booking on a weekday or Sunday if you would like to try your dress on in store when picking it up.
Yes, you certainly can! Please note that your pick up appointment is scheduled for 30min, so you are more than welcome to try anything on within that time frame.
If you haven’t tried your dress since it arrived in, we recommend trying it on in store before you pick it up so that we can make sure that everything is just perfect!
Your dress will come in its own breathable Belles and Beaux garment bag which will keep your gown perfectly protected until the big day. Keep it nice and high, dry and out of direct sunlight.
