  • Most Frequently Asked Questions at TDR Bridal

    Most Frequently Asked Questions at TDR Bridal

    Do you do walk ins or is it appointment only?

    If there is a fitting room free, then yes, definitely during the week! You are always welcome, we love being able to help all of our brides. Weekends however are so busy, we get booked up so quickly and as we would NEVER want to turn you away and will always get you into our beautiful gowns if we have time, we do recommend you always BOOK AN APPOINTMENT. You can do this through our website, through social media, on email or just give us a call! We are ALWAYS available!!!!!

    What sizes do you carry?

    We have almost 400 wedding gowns in store and the sizes range from a size 8 to size 30.

    What if I plan to lose weight?

    Completely fine!!! Most brides are, so do not stress. Depending on designer delivery dates and how close your wedding is, you can always defer from measuring. This means you have those few extra months to be nearer to the size you will be a couple of weeks before your wedding. However, once you are measured and the dress is ordered in the size nearest to you, this does not mean you have to stop losing weight! Your fittings with the seamstress will not be until 6 weeks before your wedding and a dress can be taken in up to 3 dress sizes without causing a problem, and trust us, our seamstress is AMAZING!!! So, do not stress, you are in safe hands and rest assured your wedding dress will fit you perfectly on your wedding day.

    When is the best time to start looking for my bridal gown?

    It is never too early to start looking for your bridal gown, usually the first thing you organise for your wedding are your venue and wedding gown! The rest should fall into place after these two are ticked off your list (ish). A wedding gown will take 6 – 9 months to come into store depending on designer delivery dates. But you also must include time for deferring measurements and alterations after your dress arrives in store. So, to avoid any extra added stress to your wedding planning, if you allow from 8 – 12 months before your wedding, you will be fine.

    We also would recommend that when you start looking for your wedding gown, always be prepared to buy within 3 – 4 weeks. This is purely to avoid disappointment, designers will give bridal boutiques 3 – 4 weeks’ notice if a dress is to be discontinued, so if you find a gown that you love and return to store in 4 months’ time, the dress may not still be there. So,

    How long does it take for a dress to be ordered?

    Delivery dates vary between designers, but it will usually take 6 – 9 months for your dress to arrive in store.

    Who do I bring with me?

    You are welcome to bring whoever you like with you, but we recommend maximum 3 – 4 people but usually 2 – 3, being your nearest and dearest. We also recommend that the people you bring with you are people whose opinion you value deeply as otherwise it can become extremely confusing and distressing for you and can in turn, affect the decision you make.

    What happens after ordering?

    Once your dress has been ordered and you have been measured, you leave the rest to us. Your dress will arrive in store within 6 – 9 months (sometimes earlier, sometimes later) and we will call you within half an hour of your dress arriving in store. After this call, you must book an appointment to come into store within 2 weeks to try the gown on and check it all over, after this you need to book your fittings. Your first fitting will be 6 weeks before your wedding and our seamstress usually works on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday but will fit you in wherever suits you, we are very flexible! You will then have your first fitting and the seamstress will advise you as to when your second fit will be which is usually 2 weeks before your wedding.

    What do I bring to my fittings?

    For your fitting with the seamstress, which is usually 6 weeks before the wedding, you will need the shoes you will be wearing on the day and a bra (if you need one). The seamstress will usually either sew bra cups into your wedding gown or if you prefer, you can bring one of your own bra’s that you feel comfortable in and she will cut this up and sew this into your wedding gown instead.

    Do you have parking?

    Yes, we have parking at the front and the back of the shop.

    What else to I need to know?

    All you need to know is that we are very VERY normal. We are open 7 days a week and 3 late nights as we know you need to save your holiday hours for your honeymoon and other wedding plans. We are child friendly, we welcome children in the boutique by providing a toy box in each changing area.

    Best Thing About Being a TDR Bride

    Here at TDR we are always striving to create an unforgettable service for each one of our brides and after our 10 years in the bridal industry we truly believe this is what we have achieved!

    But…we wanted just wanted to make sure we were doing it right…so, we asked our brides to tell us what they thought the best thing about being a TDR bride is, and this is the response we got…(WOW!)

    Emma Reader

    I’m Miss …Soon to be a Mrs. I’m a TDR Bride to Be…The outstanding service & Support I have received 5* all round! From finding my perfect gown and feeling beautiful, to having a selfie with the girls in the shop. Communication is always the best. I travel over an hour for your shop and I would travel 5 more. It’s worth it, Service, Gowns, Accessories, Decor of the shop and the staff. Can’t thank you all enough! Bring on August!!!

    Julia Darby 25.08.2018

    I’m a Miss, soon to be Mrs in August! 🙈 Eek! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Jackie made every experience for me great. She picked me out my dress in the end, after me trying on a few because she listened to everything I’d said. She hung it up and I just went “that’s the one” before I’d even tried it on and it was just like the first dress I’d imagined when I started looking. I’d been to another bridal shop beforehand and got exactly the experience I was afraid of…feeling uncomfortable and the woman was actually incredibly rude to me! So, coming to TDR was like a breath of fresh air, even though the shop is beautifully decorated all the staff are down to earth and really welcoming. Nothing ever seems to be an inconvenience, I’ve always been able to get an appointment easily. I find the TDR group an enormous amount of help and support and I can’t wait to come in for the alterations xx

    Katie Hartshorn 28.10.2017

    I am a VERY proud to have been TDR Bride!! The best part about being part of the TDR group is becoming a part of the TDR family! There is literally nothing better than the feeling of those beautiful ladies taking you right under their wing providing a top-class service making every inch of your wedding dress dream a reality! They made me feel like an absolute Princess in my dress and accessories! If it wasn’t for the expense 😖 I would do it all again, and I would do it all again with the TDR queens!👌😍 wedding date 28.10.2017…(I’ll attach some photos now) xx

    Zoe Stankevitch 01.03.2019

    I am a Miss soon to be Mrs Rhodes 2019 and I had the pleasure of choosing my wedding dress with the amazing Gail who seriously went above and beyond for me. From the very first day the team at TDR we’re so welcoming and patient and I chose my perfect dress. When I went back with my partners nan and my mom the girls welcomed us all we all felt like part of the family!! I have recommended you to everyone I hear is getting married you all gave me the best experience I could imagine.
 Thank you girls your just amazing

    Stacey Baker 26.08.2018

    100% the service that I (and everyone else seems to have received) should be the most blogged about thing! 
Della helped me from my first time at the NEC stand, to finding my dress, to helping choose the best accessories… but all of the staff I have come into contact with have been amazing and nothing is ever too much trouble. I never felt pressured into spending huge amounts of money like I have in other stores before TDR and I love hearing about other people’s weddings on here!!! 
Stacey baker (to be Mrs Ray) 26 August 2018 xx 😘

    Natalie Lewis 26.05.2018

    Soon to be a Mrs! The best thing for me was being empowered in the shop to buy the type of dress I wanted. I was nervous at picking a gown. My family said I would not find one as I was obese (at size 18) and needed to cover up my fat legs and the surgical scars on my arms. The ladies at TDR focused on what I was comfortable with, what my dream was, and handled my family expertly. I don’t believe that I could have gotten the same outcome anywhere else. I am so excited at finally seeing my dress.

  • Wedding Dress Designer Weekends West Midlands

    Wedding Dress Designer Weekends West Midlands

    What is a Wedding Dress Designer trunk show?

    A trunk show features a particular designer’s collection, usually featuring their newest collection and it is the perfect opportunity to view and try brand new dresses before they are available in any stores. A trunk show is a unique opportunity with TDR providing a unique and personal experience.

    What are the benefits?

    Trunk shows are one of the most exciting events in bridal and they are certainly not to be missed by ANY bride!

    Throughout the duration of our trunk shows there will be price incentives, so please ensure you bring those who are crucial to assist you in making your final decision and look forward to receiving the best possible price.

    How long do they last?

    Trunk shows will be WEEKEND ONLY and one trunk show will last the duration of one weekend.

    How do they work at TDR?

    During trunk shows we will work by our usual appointment system, meaning it will be a first come first serve system and due to limited availability please ensure you book in advance to avoid disappointment. Brides are welcome to try on any other gowns in store alongside the trunk show collection.

    We will be posting regular updates about our forthcoming trunk shows so make sure you keep an eye out to ensure you do not miss out!!!!

    See you soon!

    We started prompt at 10am with a video of the offices, distribution hub and quality control standards in place. This was followed by every single bit of information you could possible imagine about all things Enzoani, from the Designers credentials, the fabric choices, the measuring, including Made To Measure, the additions and changes that could be made, lead times, why they take so long, the work involved on every single gown before it leaves HQ, their seamstresses, the hand beadwork, the ordering portal and processes, the fabric choices…Absolutey everything!
