Three appointments, and nothing left to chance.
Every wedding runs the same way. It is not flexible, and that is the point.
Three appointments, and you only need to book the first to start
Consultation. Forty-five minutes at the atelier. Bring reference images, the dress if you have it, and any pieces you intend to wear.
The trial. A full dress rehearsal, eight to ten weeks out. You wear it for the rest of the day and tell us what moved.
The morning. We arrive with time in hand, style the party in booked order, and stay until the photographer has what they need.
One bride, one atelier
There is one appointment in the diary at a time. We do not double-book chairs on a wedding morning, which means the atelier is entirely yours for as long as it takes.
Occasion & guest, booked to the hour
Black tie, christenings, race days and the mother of the bride. A single sitting, ninety minutes, finished in time to leave.
Editorial & press, on location
Call-outs for photographers, stylists and press. Day and half-day rates, and a kit that travels within 50km of the city.
Every booking includes
The part most ateliers are vaguest about.
A trial you actually keep
The trial is a full rehearsal, not a sketch. You leave wearing it, for the rest of the day.
Hands for the party
From four people up, a second stylist joins at no extra cost. Nobody is rushed to make the car.
A finish that holds
We stay until it is right. We do not leave on a clock — we leave when the photographer has the shot.
A consultation, every time
Forty-five minutes before anything is booked, so the trial starts from an agreed plan rather than a guess.
Asked before booking
If yours is not here, phone and ask. We answer these ourselves.
How far ahead should I book?
Roughly eleven months for a Saturday between May and September. Winter dates are often available inside six.
Do you travel?
Within 50km of the city as standard, further by arrangement. The supplement covers travel time, not distance, and is quoted before you book.
What if I change my mind at the trial?
That is what the trial is for. A second trial is $120, and most brides do not need one.
Can you work with extensions?
Yes, and we will tell you honestly at consultation whether yours will hold the style you have in mind.
Do you do makeup as well?
No. We work alongside make-up artists we trust and will introduce you, but we do not take that booking ourselves.
Is the deposit refundable?
Up to eight weeks before the date, yes, less a $50 administration fee.
Ask about your date before the season fills.
The atelier takes a limited number of weddings each season. If your date is already booked, we will say so the same day and point you toward someone good.
