Appointments: We work by appointment, within which you will be looked after by one of our experienced fitting consultants. They will advise you on alterations needed to fit your bridal wear well. A price estimate will be established at the end of the fitting for you to decide whether or not you are comfortable going forward with the alteration. We can offer a variety of solutions to alter your garment; some might save costs. Please ask.
*Please bring your shoes to your appointment or some with a similar heel height as well as your undergarments to ensure we can fit your bridal garments perfectly.
Fittings are available in our spacious studio in Battersea.
Charges: Due to many styles and finishes, it is difficult to provide an estimate for you on the phone. We need to see your bridal wear, the inside construction and also you wearing it. Charges for similar alterations may vary, in particular for complex, constructed dresses and heavily detailed designer wear. Our bridal charges are based on time at a rate of £90 per hour. For bridal alterations closer to your wedding date than 6 weeks, express charges will apply.
Discounts: We offer a 25% discount on the alterations for all members of the bridal party including bridesmaids, mother-of-the-brides and grooms, the groom and the father-of-the-bride or groom.

Lovely Bride Alterations
Our team is passionate about brides who aim to express their uniqueness in their bridal choices and fully support them with whatever is needed to create the perfect Lovely Bride silhouette.
We have been altering bridal wear for Lovely Bride for over half a decade and working closely with the London team to support Lovely Bride brides in the best possible way.
Brides recognise the inspiring Lovely Bride collection to find their perfect look. Although Lovely Bride offers split sizes, most made-to-order dresses need some alterations, adding the final touch to perfect the dress and fit it everywhere. Shortening hems and trains are standard alterations, such as shortening straps and taking in sides.
Before we can provide you with realistic alterations costs, we need to see pictures of your Lovely Bride dress and, ideally, see you wearing it.
