Our Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Your Opening Hours?

Our opening hours depend on the appointments we have booked week on week. We typically book appointments from 9.30am until 5pm but we offer a flexible and open service that allows for early morning and late evening appointments upon request. You can book appointments 7 days a week depending on the availability in our calendar. Check it out above to find our current available times.

What Appointments Do You Have Available?

We typically book slots at 9.30am, 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm but this varies depending on the type of appointments booked throughout the day and if anyone has requested an early / late appointment too!

How Long Will My Appointment Be?

This depends on which appointment you have selected. Bridal appointments and bridesmaid appointments last 1.5 hours. If you would like a bridal and bridesmaid appointment in one slot, this is extended to make it a 2.5 hours appointment. Any return appointments (usually to retry a dress you have seen) is 1 hour. If you would like longer, please request when booking.

Can I Bring Guests To My Appointment?

Of course! This is an exciting experience and a big decision to make so bring along trusted friends and family members to enjoy it with you! As our boutique is a relatively small space, we recommend no more than 4 guests plus you, the bride.

What Size Dresses Do You Stock?

Our sample dresses in store tend to vary between 12-16 with a handful of exceptions. Sample dresses can be pulled in, pinned, and clipped to fit smaller sizes so we can accommodate people down to a size 6. For sizes 18+, if there is a specific dress that you like, we can order in dresses of your size in preparation for your appointment. This comes with a £50 charge.

What Is The Price Range Of Your Dresses?

Our dresses range mainly between £1000 to £1800 depending on the designer and style. We do have a small selection that are below £1000 and a few that are closer to the £2000 mark. We also have sample dresses on offer that are available off the peg at a discounted rate. If you are interested in seeing this range, please check out our ‘Ready to Go’ range or contact us and we would be happy to assist.

Do I Need to Bring Anything To My Appointment?

Tip 1 – it is important to wear underwear like what you plan to wear on your wedding day. Avoid any black or brightly coloured underwear and seamless pants are perfect to avoid lumps and bumps! In addition, some people choose to wear no bra or a strapless one that could accommodate any dress type. Do what makes you feel most comfortable.

Tip 2 – it’s helpful to bring along heels a similar height to the ones you plan on wearing on your wedding day so you can see how the dress will look on the big day!

Does Your Boutique Have Wheelchair or Pushchair Access? 

Our boutique is in an old building that has its quirks but with this we have approximately 10 steps at the front of the shop to get to the dresses. Please bear this in mind when attending your appointment. Wheelchairs and pushchairs can enter the lower entrance area that does contain a seating area.

Do you Allow Split Payments?

Typically, half of the overall cost is made as a deposit with the rest of the payment made on collection of the dress. If you would like to split the payments to pay monthly etc., please contact us and we can discuss how we can make the payments as easy as possible for you.

How Do I Book a Dress Collection?

When your dress has arrived, we will contact you to arrange the collection. This will usually be arranged during the week unless specifically requested otherwise. If you would like to book a collection yourself, please choose a return appointment in our calendar and state it is for a collection.

Can I Book A Return Appointment to Find a Veil?

Absolutely! Just add a note when you are booking the appointment, that this is to see our veil collection.

Iconic Bride is located on Edwinstowe high street, an historic village in the heart of Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, the home of Robin Hood. This is a vibrant and busy village with a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs.

Our boutique is located on the High Street whereas our Bridesmaid / Prom dress store is located in Edwinstowe House, just around the corner. 

Car Parking

There are a limited number of parking spaces on the high street directly in front of the boutique. We recommend parking in either the East Lane or West Lane car parks in Edwinstowe. Both of these car parks are free to use and a very short walk from the boutique. Alternatively, you can park in the Edwinstowe House Car Park.
