Frequently asked questions

Do I need an appointment?

We recommend booking an appointment just so we can ensure that you have a fully private experience and that we have a fitting room available for you. We like to give you our full undivided attention and if we have another customer in, we are unable to provide this.

How long do appointments take?

We usually advise you to select 3 or 4 dresses which you’d like to try, and then throughout the appointment, we will get a feel of what you are/not liking and we can pull some more out for you! Sometimes the ones we pull out are not what you’d go for but are often the ones brides go for! Have faith in us. Your appointment will last for around 1 hour 15 mins.

Do you charge for appointments?

No, we don't charge for appointments.

When should I start shopping for my wedding dress?

Aim to order your gown no later than 6-7 months prior to your wedding date, in order to avoid rush fees and leave adequate time for production and fittings. It's important to remember: Most bridal gowns are made-to-order.

What sizes do you stock?

We currently stock dresses ranging from size 8 – 28. These can be altered by one of our seamstresses and can usually go up/down by up to 2 sizes. As our sample collection constantly varies, the sizes that we stock will vary over time. Bridal sizes tend to be on the small side so don’t be put off if you have to go up a size.

How many people can I bring to my appointment?

Our fitting room can seat up to 3 guests.

Can I take photos of my chosen dress?

We kindly asked you not to take any photos as we do not allow photography when you are trying on dresses. This is to protect the copyright of the Designer’s work. Also, lighting and bad angles often distort the gown, therefore, giving a false impression.

Do you sell wedding veils?

Our stunning veil collection is truly exquisite. We offer a choice of tiers, trims and tulles. All our veils are cut and embellished by hand. We have a wide range of tulle veils to top off your perfect wedding day look. From dramatic cathedral length veils to dreamy vintage style bouffant cut, you can find your perfect piece from our collection. We are also happy to help you with any bespoke colour and length requirements.

Do you sell wedding jewellery?

Our beautiful headpieces are one of the most popular choices for brides. We have vintage style wedding headbands with antique finish and sparkling Swarovski crystals. Traditional wedding headpieces like tiaras and combs. Ribbon wedding headbands are also available for a soft and feminine look. We also have contemporary tiaras, bridal-hair-vines and headbands for a modern yet elegant look. All our headpieces are carefully handpicked by our expert bridal stylists.

Do you sell bridal shoes?

Do you sell bridesmaid dresses?

At The Sophie Grace Bridal we stock two brands of bridesmaids dresses - Dessy Bridesmaids Dresses and The Eliza and Ethan bridesmaid dresses. Prices start at £195 and go up to £250 for the more detailed dresses. If you're looking to try on a particular dress from any of these brands we recommend you check with us when you book your appointment. We have carefully selected the range of bridesmaids dresses to offer you the most expansive range of colours, styles and prices possible. We recommend ordering with plenty of time before your wedding to ensure there is time for any alterations that may need to be done prior to the wedding. We are confident that we can provide you with the perfect dress; we would love to have you visit our store in Wokingham, Berkshire.

Do you do alterations?

We have professional, qualified seamstresses that work on the premises, ensuring your alterations are hassle-free and that your dress is looked after as it should be. The Seamstresses make jackets, add sleeves, remove sleeves, add straps, reduce trains, insert lace-up backs, add extra detail, you name it, they can do it! We make Cravat & Hanky set too, so you can match up your bridal party with your bridesmaids, just ask the Seamstresses for details. We are pleased to be able to offer our dressmaking service to Brides/Bridesmaids/Mother of the Bride who has purchased their gowns/dresses/outfits from another establishment.

From the moment I walked into Sophie grace bridal I felt like all the lights were on me and felt special, I had Layla as my consultant and she listened to all of my requests of what I did want and what I didn’t want to wear on my wedding day. I tried on loads of different dresses and Layla made me feel so comfortable with everything. I found my dress that day and without a doubt would recommend Sophie grace bridal to any bride to be! They make you feel amazing help you find exactly what you are looking for.

I have had the most wonderful experience at Sophie Grace Bridal. From the moment me and my family walked through the door Mo and her team made us feel so welcome and made my Bridal Experience that much more magical. The dresses are gorgeous and I found my dream dress and am so happy. I have also purchased all of my bridesmaids dresses and an evening gown for my best friends wedding. The service is beyond amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sophie Grace Bridal. Thank you Mo and Team xx

I went to Sophie Grace Bridal in the hope to find my wedding dress. From the moment I called to book my appointment, to when I walked through the door and left I was greeted with an incredibly friendly, warm welcome and I could not fault the service I received from Layla. She was fantastic! No pressure, no judgement, just fantastic customer service throughout. It’s safe to say the first dress I tried on was the dress I left with and I couldn’t have been happier! Thank you so much, I can’t wait to come back for my dress fitting!!

Although I sadly did not find my dream dress with Sophie Grace all the team were so helpful answering my questions prior to me making an appointment and they were so understanding and made me feel so comfortable at my actual appointment.
It was such a shame they didn’t have the dress I was looking for as I really wanted to buy from them due to the exemplirary customer service I had experienced already. I will be going back to shop for bridesmaid dresses.
I would highly recommend a visit to Sophie Grace.

I had an amazing appointment when looking for my dress - it turned out not only was I getting married on the same date as the assistant but our spouses also had the same name! She listened carefully to what I asked for and it turned out the first dress was the one. I was blown away with how easy she made it! I'm so glad I came to Sophia Grace Bridal.

The ladies at Sophie Grace are simply wonderful. From the second I walked in I was put completely at ease by their kind and welcoming nature. I was extremely nervous about choosing a dress and they helped me through the process step by step, guiding me along the way and understanding exactly what I liked and didn’t like. It was my very first time trying on dresses and I could not have been made to feel more comfortable and looked after. I found my dress on the first trip but there was no pressure to buy it then and there. I had a little think and of course went back to purchase it soon after. I have since returned to the shop 3 times to try on again and for fittings and each time a am overwhelmed by the service and care they pay to their customers. I can’t wait to pick my dress up and wear it on my big day and I have recommended this shop to every person I hear is getting married. These guys know exactly what they are doing and I am so happy to have had such a great experience with them.

Without a doubt the most wonderful experience all thanks to the most amazing team at Sophie Grace. From my firs visit, the advice, patience and kindness from each member of staff was so wonderful.
I found my dream dress for my dream day thanks to Sophie Grace. With all my alterations appointments with the amazing ladies upstairs they became a bit like family!

I can’t thank you all enough and I don’t think there is a more deserving team!
