Firstly YAY it’s wedding dress time (the most important part of course 💓)

Here’s a few common FAQ that might be helpful…..

 

Is there a charge?

Our fittings are ALWAYS FREE! We don’t believe you should have to pay to find your dream dress

 

Where do we try Etcetera Bridal dresses on?

Etcetera is now ONLY travelling around NZ with our Pop Up Sale Rooms and Expos, so to see us you will need to book an appointment in a city closest to you. Follow our social media pages or head to our booking page to see where we will be next!

 

Can you bring people with you?

OF COURSE! Ideally 2-3 people is great but please contact us if you would like to bring more.

 

How do we book a fitting?

Head to https://etceterabridal.co.nz/book-now/ to book your fitting with us.

 

I’m feeling a little nervous at the thought of trying dresses, is that normal?

It definitely is but rest easy knowing we are all about having LOTS of fun! There is no pressure to buy at all, it’s all about the journey to find your dream dress and when you have that YES moment you will know ❤️.

 

How many dresses can I try?

As many as you like, we allow approx an hour and a half for your fitting so you get to try lots of different styles and then retry your favs.

 

Are you allowed to choose dresses to try on?

Of course!! When you arrive we encourage you to look through the dresses, touch the fabrics and select a few that you’re drawn to. We will of course give you plenty of other options as well that we think might look great.

 

What sizes do we stock?

We have a great selection of dresses, in fact we have OVER 1500 DRESSES – WOW and stock size 4-42 samples. Yes that’s right we don’t just stock small sample sizes, you get to try so many dresses in your actual size.

 

Are you supposed to know what style you want?

Not at all, it’s absolutely fine to have a few ideas but come open minded to try lots of different styles. Truth is so many girls walk out in the complete opposite of what they expect.

 

What do I bring?

No bras required, our designers are so clever that everything is built in so no bra – WINNING!! Nude high waisted underwear is great if you have it but don’t stress if you don’t that can be done after you choose your dream dress 💓 Also if you have shoes you’d like to try with the dresses feel free to bring them along but if not we have shoes available.

 

What are are our price ranges?

Our collection ranges from $1000-$4000

 

Do we have payments plans?

Yes we have layby available. It’s 70% deposit to order your dress and you have 6 weeks to pay the balance.

 

Does my dress get ordered?

Nope, once you have fallen in love with the dress you have tried on it’s yours! All dresses are now purchased off the rack, so no waiting yay!

 

Are alterations done in house?

So many of our brides are from all over the country so let us know where you’re from when you see us and we can recommend a Bridal alteration extraordinaire.

For those close to Wanganui we have the amazing Sue Hill available for alterations, she is extremely experienced with our gowns and is so super lovely!

 

Do we love our job?

Hell yes!! We are lucky enough to have one of the best jobs in the world! How could you not when you get to make people feel beautiful every day! We unfortunately live in a society these days that makes us question our bodies and how we feel about ourselves. To be part of that moment when a bride to be looks in the mirror no matter of her shape and size and falls in love with herself again, she feels absolutely gorgeous for sometimes the first time in a very long time that is something very emotional and rewarding. You choose your dress with your heart, if you feel a million dollars, sexy and confident then that is your dress and we feel extremely privileged to be a part of that 🥰

 

We can’t wait to meet you 💓
