Wedding Dresses in Coventry

Coventry sits close to some lovely Warwickshire towns, and a dress search here often takes in Kenilworth, Royal Leamington Spa or Warwick as well as the city. Leamington and Warwick make a pleasant day out, but limit yourself to two or three appointments so you can still think clearly by the last one.

When to start

Begin trying on nine to twelve months before the wedding. Many gowns are made to your measurements and can take months to arrive. Alterations usually start two to three months beforehand, and a final fitting a week or two before keeps things relaxed.

Booking tips

Most shops work by appointment and weekends book up first. Ask how long you will have, whether there is a fee and how many people you can bring. A small group of trusted opinions usually works better than a crowd.

Dressing for local venues

Couples marry in city hotels and historic buildings, and in country houses and barns across Warwickshire. For rural venues, think about gravel, lawns and the walk between ceremony and photographs, where a bustle or a shorter train can help. Indoors, a grander silhouette may suit. Bring the shoes and underwear you plan to wear so fittings are accurate from the start.
