Buying a wedding dress is generally a brand new experience for the bride to be, unless she has been privileged to be a bridesmaid to a friend or family member, but the process should not be a daunting task but a fun enjoyable experience.

At Priddi, we look after brides day in day out with help and advice on suitable styles, colour options and advice about our service, but we appreciate that whilst we are "know it all's" it's all a brand new experience for most, so here are some really helpful tips to help guide you and answer some of those questions that we receive regularly:

Are you in the UK?

How can I see the quality/colour of the item I wish to order?

Why does it take so long for my dress to be made?

Why are your prices so low?

How do I order an item?

Are you in the UK?

Yes we are, our head office is in Newark in Nottinghamshire, all of our dresses are shipped from our head office and our designers are based there too. We do get asked this question a lot, but we appreciate that there are lots of web sites out there that "pretend" to be in the UK until you see the expensive carriage costs and that is a clear give away that they are based over seas.

How can I see the colour/quality of the item that I wish to order?

We have 4 ways you can obtain re-assurance about our products and the quality:

1, We offer an online swatch service so you can have material samples before you order: Fabric swatches 

2, You can visit us, we hold a selection of our latest designs at our head office where you can visit to see the quality of our items, we're so proud of our quality we would welcome your visit.  Visit Us 

3, You can visit us at one of our roadshow tours, to try on and see a fantastic selection of our gowns on the day: Roadshow Tour

4, You can loan a sample, use our contact us page to request more information about this service: Contact us

Why does it take so long for my dress to be made?

This question always makes us smile, because we offer something different to the high street fashion clothing suppliers. 

If you went into any of the high street shops, they would have swimwear out in summer and coats in winter and you would choose from what is out on the rails from stock, but it still takes 12-20 weeks for the stock to be made ready to go into the high street shops, so the high street companies are ordering coats in summer, but putting them in store when made in autumn.  

As we make to order (MTO) we are not telling you what you can have a choice of, we are asking you what you would like us to make for you, you just need to be patient whilst your products are being made just for you, as it takes the same amount of time as it takes for the high street companies to have their items made.

We also carry a large stock collection to cater for all of those last minute requirements which we offer quick delivery on for all stock, see our main site www.Priddi.co.uk

Why are your prices so low?

Another good question, in the clothing industry there are a lot of middle men that "brand" their goods, they sell to the shops and the shops have high running costs that they have to cover.

Priddi simply have, No middle men (we design ourselves), so by selling directly to the customer online and at our sample room and roadshows we can pass amazing savings onto you, yet you still have an amazing quality item.
