Getting Married in 2026? Here’s Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Book Your Bridal Appointment for all our 2026 brides.

Planning a wedding for 2026 might feel like you’ve got all the time in the world — but when it comes to finding your dream dress, the earlier you start, the better. Here at Story of My Dress, we’re already welcoming 2026 brides into our boutique, and honestly? We love it.

Here’s why booking your appointment early is a total game-changer:

1. You'll Have the Full Collection to Choose From

Designers release new collections every season — and they don’t always stick around. Booking early means you’ll get first pick of the freshest styles before they’re discontinued or sold out. Trust us, bridal FOMO is real.

2. Customisation Takes Time (and It's Worth It)

Whether you want a bespoke tweak or a made-to-measure fit, great things take time. Our in-house team (shout out to Ashleigh and Libbie!) are absolute pros, but having extra time means zero stress and more options for customising your look.

3. More Time = Less Stress

The wedding planning rollercoaster is real — and the last thing you want is to panic over timelines. Booking now gives you breathing space, clarity, and time to enjoy the process (with prosecco in hand, obviously).

4. It’s More Than a Dress, It’s an Experience

Your bridal appointment isn’t just about trying on dresses — it’s about discovering your style, finding the one, and having those unforgettable memories. Giving yourself time means you can truly enjoy every second.

5. Your Future Self Will Thank You

Get this done now, and you’ll be SO glad you did. Future-you will be sipping cocktails and finalising the seating chart while everyone else is panicking about lead times.

Split Payments Available We get it — wedding budgets can be a lot. If you’re ordering your dress 12 months or more in advance, we offer split payment options to help spread the cost in a way that works for you. No stress, no pressure — just one more reason to start early.

Let’s Do This Together

If you're a 2026 bride, your journey starts now. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way — from that first try-on to the final fitting. Whether you're all about clean lines and minimal chic or you're after something fashion-forward and unexpected, we’ve got you.
