The Journal — wedding dress advice from our Lancashire boutique

Honest, practical advice from Brittany and Gill, the things we tell our own brides, written down.

A-line, fishtail, ballgown… our plain-English guide to the six silhouettes, and how to find the one that makes you stand taller.

The honest timeline, how far ahead to book, what happens at your first appointment, and what to bring (and leave at home).

What an off-the-rail gown actually is, why outlet prices are so kind, and who the outlet rail suits best.
