• Save pictures and shortlist colours and silhouettes.
• Browse Bridal Couture and Luxury Formals.

10 to 12 weeks before

• Place your bridal order. Made-to-order bridal wear is usually ready in about 7 to 10 weeks.
• Share your measurements and ask about customisation on WhatsApp at +92 330 0112536.

4 to 6 weeks before

Questions to ask your designer

1. What is the production timeline and the final delivery date?
2. Can the length, sleeves or neckline be customised?
3. What fabric lining is used, and how heavy is the outfit?
4. How should it be stored and cleaned? See our care guide in the Journal.
5. What are the shipping options for my country?

When the outfit arrives

Try it on with your shoes and jewellery. Check the fit at the bust, waist and length, and note any small changes early. For international orders, read our shipping guide.
