How far in advance of my wedding should I buy my dress or accessories?
We always do our best to get you what you need in time for your wedding or special event. Speak to your Richard Designs retailer to discuss your timescales and the options available.
Dresses
Our dresses are all made to order, and we are able to accommodate rush orders. Speak to your stockist to see when you will need to place your order. They will be able to help you plan in any fittings and alterations you may need too.
Accessories
All of our veils and headpieces are made to order in the UK, so we can often make items within two weeks for you. While it is always advisable to order your accessories in time for your fittings, if you decide you need something last minute then it is worth contacting your local stockist who will be able to advise you on timescales.
