Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make an appointment?
You can book an appointment at any of our boutiques here. Please provide your wedding date, dress size, and up to 5 styles you wish to try on at your appointment. The more information you provide us the better!
Are appointments free?
Our appointments are completely free.Â
How long do appointments go for?
Our bridal appointments run for one hour. This allows you time to comfortably try on up to 5 of your favourite styles plus accessories to complete your look. We ask that you factor in parking and arrive a few minutes early to ensure you get the most of your appointment time.Â
Why do I need to select gowns to try on before the appointment?
We ask for the styles you wish to try by name so we can ensure that these can be made in time for your wedding date and that we have your style sample in the showroom prepared for your arrival. We don’t carry every sample in every size so we want to be able to best prepare by having similar styles available to try.Â
How many guests should I bring to my Bridal Appointment?
Saying yes to the dream gown is a meaningful and personal experience. It's natural to seek support during your appointment. Grace Loves Lace invites you to bring up to 3 guests with you, to your appointment. Whether you desire the support of your loved ones or prefer to come by yourself, our bridal stylists will be there to provide feedback and ensure you feel supported in making a decision that feels right for you.Â
What if I need to cancel my appointment?
After booking your appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with the option to reschedule or cancel your appointment up to 5 days in advance. If you cannot find this email, feel free to contact the boutique via phone or email.
Do I need to book an appointment to come in?
Grace Loves Lace operates by appointment only to ensure we have ample time to prepare for your visit. Purchasing your dream gown is quite different from buying an everyday outfit. Given the unique nature of wedding dresses, they often require assistance to try on, and there is a need for various details during the booking process.
What do I need to do to prepare for my appointment and what should I bring?
It is helpful to know your wedding date, dress size and styles you wish to try prior to your appointment so when booking please provide those details if you can. You can also bring any undergarments you wish to wear on your special day. Some of our brides bring stick on bra’s, boob tape, shapewear and heels, to name a few.
When is the best time to book an appoinment?
The earlier, the better. Grace Loves Lace offers various gown types to accommodate different wedding needs. While some of our gowns are available for immediate purchase and delivery, others may take between 10 weeks to 6 months. Â
We recommend scheduling your appointment as early as possible so you can explore all your options – from the Ready to Wear collection to Made to Order Standard or Customized. Having your appointment sooner also allows for additional alterations if needed.
What sizes are available to try on?
Although Grace Loves Lace wedding dress styles are available for purchase in sizes XXS to 5XL, please note that we have limited sizes and samples for trying on in our boutiques.Â
We take pride in our commitment to sustainability and ethical manufacturing. Given the extensive range of styles in store, most are available in sizes between an XS- 3XL. When booking your bridal appointment, providing information about your size allows us to prepare for your visit and, if necessary, arrange to ship the sample if it's not originally available.Â
If we don't have the exact style and size you're looking for, our stylists will do their best to find something similar in the store that aligns with your vision and inspiration.Â
What undergarments should I wear to try on wedding dresses?
We recommend opting for a neutral colour with as few embellishments or corsetry as possible. Wear comfortable undergarments that are easy to put on and take off to ensure you have a clear idea of how the dress looks on you. If you want the dress to fit the same way as it did in the boutique, avoid wearing lingerie that may interfere with the gown's fit and look.Â
For the bra, choose one that you would feel comfortable wearing on your special day. We always recommend a strapless and seamless style.Â
When selecting underwear, opt for seamless fabrics that do not show through and complement the dress.
Are your transgender friendly?

Integrity and passion fuel everything we do and creating the most comfortable and inclusive experience for our brides-to-be will always be our priority.Â
