Terms and Conditions----Aisle Bridal

1. CONSULTATION

Our Design Consultation is free to brides in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and we can either visit you at home or you can come to see us in Loughborough, Leicestershire. We are happy to visit brides in other areas - contact us to discuss travel arrangements and costs.

At the consultation, we will give you an estimate of the price of your wedding gown. This varies based on design, fabric, cutting detail, embroidery and beading detail.

2. ORDER PROCESS

When you commission your wedding gown from Aisle Bridal, there is a £100 deposit payable, and this will be set against the final price of the dress.

You may cancel your order at any time up to 48 hours after you placed it by contacting Aisle Bridal and the deposit will be refunded.

Cancellation after 48 hours must be made in writing, and before any materials or fabric have been ordered by us, and may incur any costs in relation to your order.

3. DESIGN APPROVAL

On receipt of the deposit, and at the first fitting, you will receive a design drawing for approval. You will also receive a quote price for this design. The design can be adjusted and price amended if changes are required at this stage. A fitting and delivery schedule will also be submitted for approval. If your wedding date is less than 3 months away, Aisle bridal will attempt to accommodate you where production schedules allow, but there will be an additional charge for providing an ‘express’ service.

A copy of the final approved design, measurements, schedule and an invoice for the agreed price including these terms and conditions must be signed as an agreement between you and Aisle Bridal before the second fitting. It is your responsibility to check that all details and aspects of your order are correct and suitable for your requirements including measurements, dimensions, and features such as style, fabric and colour.

Changes to the design can be made after the contract has been signed up until the second fitting, but at an extra charge.

No design changes can be made AFTER the second fitting.

There will be no additional fitting charges for adjustments within one change in dress size from the measurements agreed at first fitting. However, brides must notify Aisle Bridal immediately if they have an alteration in dress size eg drop one size or more, increase one size or more between fittings This is to ensure that the dress will be as perfect a fit as possible and is to benefit the Bride. Failure to notify will result in an additional charge if the dress cannot be altered and has to be re-made.

6. DRESS USE

Aisle bridal ensures that all our gowns are made to high standards as wedding or evening wear. We will not be held responsible for damage if you take part in vigorous activity such as parachuting, bungee jumping, trampolining or jumping on a bouncy castle while wearing them.

7. DESCRIPTIONS AND DESIGN

Aisle bridal makes every effort to ensure that the dress we create is as close as possible to the original design drawing and agreed fabric, beading and embroidery details. Because each dress is unique and hand finished, there may be slight variations which all add to the individual characteristics of each dress, including but not limited by the following:

Shades of fabric can vary from one dye lot to the next

Fabric patterns and lace patterns can vary slightly

The character of raw silk means that minor variations and irregularities in the fabric can occur and are not a defect in the material.

Beading is done by hand and there may therefore be some variation in the pattern over the entire garment.

We reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time. Any such amendments will take effect when they appear on our website.
