Your Luxury Bridal Shop Experience
Choosing your wedding dress should be one of the most memorable moments of your life. Because, think about it: your wedding day might be the only opportunity you ever get to spend all day swanning around in a designer, bejewelled gown. We’re not saying you can’t do your weekly supermarket shop dressed like that, but you’ve got to admit, it’s verging on impractical.
So getting the dress that makes you feel beautiful and extraordinary but most importantly, still you (on a very good day) is why we’re here. At Tilly’s, we pride ourselves on being more than an ordinary wedding dress shop; we’re a designer, luxury bridal shop with a level of service to match. Not sure exactly what that entails? Let us enlighten you.
01.
The First Appointment
This is the one where you need to come with tingling anticipation, a couple of your bride tribe and an open mind. We will show you to your very own floor of our luxury bridal shop in Leamington Spa so you won’t be disturbed, we’ll sit down and find out about you and your wedding. We aim to recommend dresses to you that not only reflect your vision for the day but also your personality.
After our chat, we’ll take you through our designer collections and together we will select around 6-8 gowns for you to try. Once you start to put the dresses on, we will then use our wealth of experience and styling know-how to showcase each gown’s potential.
Just so you know, the average size of our sample gowns is around UK 12-14, but don’t panic, the sample rarely fits anyone. That’s why it’s a sample; it’s meant to be pinned here and tucked there. We’re able to dress many shapes and sizes but sometimes we may need a little ‘creative license’, so it’s best to just trust us. And besides, your final gown will be in a different league from the sample. Consider that a promise.

The Styling Appointment
This is when the process reaches peak fun. Your dress has been crafted by the designer and delivered to us at our Bridal Boutique in Leamington. Now it’s time to try it on. (Although, do bear in mind that it will probably require some alterations to fit perfectly – that comes later.)
For now, you can start trying on veils, belts, hairpieces, and jewellery to see what works. Browse through the incredible accessory collections we stock in the luxury bridal shop but equally, feel free to bring in any pieces you’ve found on your travels. Either way, by the end of this session you should start to see your final look coming together.

Creating The Perfect Fit
Whilst sadly we can’t offer in-house alterations at our Bridal Boutique in Leamington, we have a loooong list to share of INCREDIBLE seamstresses, all located in and around the Warwickshire area. We wholeheartedly trust each of these bridal seamstresses to alter your exquisite gowns. Each seamstress will quote you for your alterations on a case by case basis, but budget around £250 for a basic alterations package and you’ll be fine.

Need to know
Do I have to book an appointment at your Leamington Bridal Shop ?
Yes, that’s a must – we don’t take walk-ins. We want our brides to feel extra-special and completely comfortable so we give each bride their very own floor of our luxury bridal shop in Leamington for every appointment. Naturally, weekend appointments are in high demand so if you want one of them, expect a four-week wait.
Is there a booking fee for your bridal appointments in Leamington?
Yes, due to the high demand for our exclusive styling experiences we offer to brides, we require a non-refundable booking fee. These range from £20-£50 depending on which experience you choose to book.
I’m an hour early – can I come in and browse?
Alas, no. We don’t have a waiting area as we like to offer our brides the full run of the luxury bridal shop. But don’t despair. Leamington Spa is teeming with cafes and bars. You’ll have no trouble finding somewhere fabulous for a glass (or a bottle) of bubbly to kick start the celebration. We reccomend HART + CO, it’s pretty, pink, has fabulous food and cocktails and right opposite Tilly’s!
I want to bring my entire wedding party! Can I?
We don’t advise it. We comfortably seat two or three people per party – any more and it gets a little hectic. Similarly, we find children and sparkly things are a messy combination, so please leave children at home if at all possible.
What’s the deal with parking at your Bridal Boutique in Leamington?
To circumnavigate any stress, we recommend heading straight for St. Peter’s Multi-Storey Car Park as it is super close to the boutique and there are literally hundreds of spaces.
Help! Something’s come up. I need to cancel.
Don’t panic! As long as you give us plenty of notice we’ll be able to reschedule your appointment to another date/time as soon as possible.
If you can’t make your appointment or need to cancel, PLEASE let us know asap as we’d like to offer your slot to another bride on our waiting list.
My wedding budget spreadsheet is starting to scare me. What’s the damage?
Our collections currently start from £1,600 and extend to £3,100; the average price of our dresses is currently around £2,000. However, for the money-savvy bride, we have a payment plan to help ease the costs. You can simply pay 50% when you order your dream wedding dress and the rest when it’s ready to ship.
And while we’re on the subject, we don’t offer discounts or price matches. We are enormously proud of our collective experience, our bespoke luxury bridal shop service and the calibre of designers we stock, and we feel this is represented in our prices. Saying that, we do run regular promotional events where, for instance, we discount certain designers and run sample sales so keep your eyes on our Instagram!
