3. When should I begin my Wedding Dress search?
We recommend that you start 6-12 months before your wedding.

Yes, we only work by appointment. This allows you to have a one-on-one private fitting experience and consultation with Designer Karin Rom. Karin will give you the personal attention that you deserve while finding your perfect dress. There is an appointment fee of €30, which is redeemable against your dress purchase. You can book your appointment via this page.
5. How does an appointment look like?
Karin loves to get to know your personal style and how your wedding will look like. Based on that Karin will let you try different dresses. During the 1,5 hour appointment you can fall in love with one of the designs from the collections. Or you can end up co-designing your one-of-a-kind design. Read more about the co-design option.
6. Can I take pictures in the studio?
Once you have purchased your actual gown, you are more than welcome to take pictures. Prior to this point, however, we discourage taking photos as they generally give a false impression of the dress.
7. What sizes are available to try on?
Most of the samples are in size EU 36 to 42. If the sample is too big or too small, we have creative ways to pin and show you how the dress will look like when it is closer to your actual size. Important to understand is that we work with all sizes. So when you say yes to the dress, Karin will take all of your measurements. And her elite team, all with a minimum of 25 years of experience will make the dress precisely by your measurements, to ensure that the dress will fit you like a glove. Because we are so experienced in creating couture custom made wedding dresses, the dress will be made perfectly. In case any adjusmtents are necessary, they will be free of charge.
8. How many people can I bring to my appointment?
Please bring a maximum of 3 guests. Our studio is intimate and private and can accomodate 1 Bride and 3 guests comfortably. Many of our Brides are coming alone. So don't feel pressurised to bring guests with you if that is not your thing. Karin will help you find or design the dress that best represents your unique personality and wishes.
9. What should I bring to the appointment?
I advise you to wear nude, seamless underwear. This type of underwear is the least visible and shows off the dresses best. We would also like to emphasize that it is important to wear as little make-up as possible, so that our dresses stay clean. Karin has a selection of Keren Wolf jewelry and Bella Belle shoes available. We will use this during the meeting to create the full Bridal look. If you already have shoes and accesories, you can already bring them.
10. What is the price range of your Dresses?
You can choose a design from one of the collections or co-design your dress with me. In both cases the price range of clean and sophisticated Dresses is between €3.200 and €5.000. The price range of the glamorous, lace and beaded dresses is between €3.800 and €10.200.The majority is between €3.800 and €7.500.
Your Dress will be exactly made by your wishes and measurements. In case there are adjustments necessary, it will be without any additional costs.
