Couples can also book a one-hour appointment with a stylist, the one-on-one will also include personal advice on a carefully selected range of bridal and menswear designers together with the opportunity to try on collection pieces. We spoke to Bojana, one of the stylists at The Wedding Gallery, who explained the importance having a fuss-free wedding. "When you start looking for a dress, it can be very stressful and overwhelming," she revealed. "[The bride] might be confused, they don't know what styles suit them. Here, a bride can come and have fourteen different designers in one place so she doesn't have to go from one boutique to another boutique - from romantic styles to classical or traditional, or even big princess style, or with swarvoski sparkles, or bespoke."
