Question 7

Covid information for your appointment

Accepted Answer

At EKB we want your bridal appointment to be as normal as possible but there are some changes for the time being and any changes will be updated and brides informed of these prior to their appointment.   Please arrive to your appointment on time, at this time we have to keep to a strict 1.5 hours to allow 30 mins cleaning time for the next bride.   There are private toilets to your right as you approach the studio to wash your hands, we also have hand sanitiser in the studio for you and your guests to use.   We can only offer bottled water at this moment with disposable cups. Feel free to have a coffee stop and bring one with you if you wish! (just allow plenty of time for queuing)   Any dresses tried on are steamed before the next appointment, rails and surfaces are wiped and upholstery is sprayed with antibacterial products.

Question 8

Is there anything I need to bring to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Nude underwear is ideal, seamless or shapewear (which ever your preference is) and a nude strapless bra if you have one.   We have shoes for you to try with the bridal gowns, but if you have some you would like to bring then please do.   We kindly ask that you do not fake tan prior to your appointment. I'm a big fan myself but I pride myself on being able to offer brides beautiful, immaculate dresses to try on for yourself and future brides coming into the studio. Your understanding is appreciated.

Accepted Answer

We do not charge for appointments but kindly request you reschedule or cancel appointments at least 48hrs before it is due. We look forward to meeting you and if you have already found your dream dress then biggest of congratulations! Thank you
