FAQ | The Ivory Room Bridal | Bridal Boutique & Accessories in Lincolnshire

I want to make sure your experience at The Ivory Room is convenient, relaxed and enjoyable. Care will be taken to ensure your comfort and to provide a high level of service while you are in my boutique.

To make it easier to understand what to expect during the upcoming months, I have created a list of most frequently asked questions. If you have any other enquiries please get in touch by using the contact form or if you prefer I would be happy to talk to you about your requirements, I am always happy to help.

When should I start my dress search?

Finding your dress should be a very enjoyable experience so you should give yourself as much time as possible to a avoid feeling rushed into making a decision, I suggest you allow up to 24 weeks (6 months) to order and for delivery of your dress. It could then take up to 8 weeks for completion of adjustments and alterations for a personal fit.
In total I suggest at least 36 weeks (9 months) from the start of looking and ordering your dress up to your wedding day.

What sizes are your sample gowns?

My intention is to provide a positive experience for all my clients
The dress samples are constantly changing and sizes can vary, however, I aim to stock sizes 10 to sizes 24.
Additional sizes may be available on request, if you require further information then please contact me.

Do I need to book an appointment and how can I do this?

As the showroom is constantly busy I strongly suggest you make an appointment to enable me to offer a first class service.
The Ivory Room will make your experience as special as you are, on week days I offer a dedicated 2 hour slot for your first appointment, on Saturdays the appointments are for 90 minutes.
My aim is to provide a dedicated one to one service offering advice and support when choosing your dream dress.

How do I prepare for my appointment?

You may find it useful to collect images of shapes and styles of gowns you like before your appointment, any information you can give me regarding the style of gown you like, be it a neckline, specific fabric or accessories will help me guide you and suggest styles for you to try. Of course if you prefer I will be more than happy to suggest styles and shapes for you to try.
Above all come with an open mind, trying on the gowns should be a fun and a memorable experience.

Who can I bring with me to the appointment?

For your first appointment I suggest bringing someone whose opinion you trust who will offer constructive comments regarding the gowns and how they flatter your figure. I do suggest, if possible, a maximum of 3 people with you initially.

What do I need to bring with me?

The Ivory Room has everything you will need for your appointment, however, you may wish to ensure you are wearing comfortable underwear and a strapless bra is always useful. Please bring your own shoes if you have a heel height you wish to try on with the gowns.
