Our stylists will help you try on different shapes and guide you through fabric choices to match your venue, body type, and personal taste. We also offer advice on how to accessorise to complete the look — from veils to belts to jewellery.

Understanding Bridal Fabrics and Materials

The feel and flow of your gown depend greatly on its fabric. At White Gold Bridal, our gowns feature premium materials selected for their comfort, structure, and beauty:

  • Silk: Luxurious and elegant, ideal for classic silhouettes
  • Crepe: Smooth and structured for modern, minimalist styles
  • Lace: Romantic and versatile, from delicate Chantilly to bold Guipure
  • Tulle: Light and dreamy, perfect for volume and layering
  • Satin: Glossy and glamorous for statement looks

Our consultants will explain how each fabric behaves and help you choose what’s best for your season, movement, and photography.

Tips for Finding the Perfect Fit

Finding a dress that fits well is as important as choosing the right style. That’s why we provide guidance throughout your entire fittings journey, ensuring each alteration is made with precision and care.

Here are a few tips for a successful fitting:

  • Bring your wedding shoes and undergarments for accurate adjustments
  • Be open to trying on different silhouettes — you might be surprised
  • Schedule alterations early — we recommend 8–12 weeks before the wedding
  • Prioritise comfort — you’ll wear the gown for hours

Our goal is to ensure you feel stunning, supported, and completely yourself — from first look to final dance.

Budgeting for Your Bridal Gown

At White Gold Bridal, we offer dresses at a range of price points without ever compromising on quality. We’re transparent about pricing and always work within your budget to find a gown you’ll love.

It’s helpful to keep in mind:

  • Dress costs: Vary by designer, fabric, and detail level
  • Alteration costs: Depend on complexity — we’ll guide you on what to expect
  • Accessories: Veils, shoes, jewellery, and undergarments should be budgeted for too

Let us know your budget upfront — we’ll honour it and show you gowns that suit your style and spend.

Bridal Accessories to Complete Your Look

Once you’ve found your gown, it’s time to complete your look. Our team is here to help you select accessories that complement your dress and wedding theme. Popular accessories include:

  • Veils: From dramatic cathedral lengths to fingertip or birdcage styles
  • Jewellery: Classic pearls, modern metals, or delicate crystals
  • Belts and Sashes: Add shape and sparkle to your waistline
  • Shoes: We’ll advise on comfort, style, and venue suitability

We offer accessory consultations during or after your main appointment — ensuring your entire ensemble feels cohesive and uniquely you.
