FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Finding your wedding dress can bring up many questions. We have gathered the answers here to help you feel prepared for your visit to Buch Couture.
When should I start looking for my wedding dress?
We recommend coming for an appointment 6–12 months before your wedding. This leaves plenty of time to find your dress and work through the details at a relaxed pace.
If you are planning further ahead, we offer a 20% Early Bride discount on orders placed 12–20 months before the wedding. To qualify, you must order your dress at least 12 months before your wedding date. Eligibility depends on the purchase date, rather than the date of your appointment.
What if my wedding is less than 6 months away?
You are still very welcome to book an appointment. A shorter schedule can feel busier, so please book as soon as possible.
We will always do our best to help you.
Should I wait to visit if I am losing weight?
No, you are very welcome to visit now.
If you are planning ahead and would like to lose weight before your wedding, we can arrange an individual schedule. Together, we will discuss your wishes and plan the best time to take measurements and work on the fit of your dress.
How long does an appointment last?
We allow 1 hour and 45 minutes for your bridal appointment. This gives us time to discuss your wishes, try different dresses and explore what feels right for you.
You do not need to have decided on a particular style beforehand.
How much does a Buch Couture wedding dress cost?
Our wedding dresses range from DKK 10,000 to DKK 28,000.
Please tell us your budget so we can help you find a dress that suits both your wishes and your budget. Our made-to-measure package costs an additional DKK 4,000.
How many guests can I bring?
We recommend bringing no more than 3 guests. Choose people you feel comfortable with, who will support you in finding the dress that feels right for you.
A smaller group gives you space to listen to advice and to your own instincts.
How can I prepare for my appointment?
You are welcome to bring pictures of dresses or details you love. You do not need a fully formed idea of your wedding dress; your inspiration is simply a starting point.
Underwear close to your skin tone can be helpful when trying on dresses. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable.
Can we take photographs and videos during the appointment?
Yes, please do. We recommend taking both photographs and videos of your favourite dresses.
A video is especially useful for seeing how a dress moves and gives you something to look back on after your appointment.
What does your made-to-measure package include?
With our bespoke service, your wedding dress is created to your measurements and made to fit your shape. It is not first made in a standard size and then altered; it is tailored to you, your figure and your proportions.
The package costs a fixed DKK 4,000 in addition to the price of the dress and covers the process through to your finished, bespoke wedding dress.
You will visit our atelier 3 times during the process. At these fittings we work on the fit and details of your dress. Please bring the lingerie and shoes you will wear on your wedding day, as both affect the fit and length of your dress.
Can I choose my own tailor?
Yes. If you do not choose our bespoke service, we will make your dress in a standard size. All wedding dresses made to standard measurements need subsequent alterations to fit the bride's body and height.
You choose your own tailor and arrange the appointments, alterations and price. Alteration costs are additional to the dress price and are paid directly to your chosen tailor.
When will my dress be ready?
Our bespoke dresses are ready one month before the wedding, so you have your dress well in advance of your special day.
If you order less than 3 months before your wedding, we will agree a collection date with you individually.
How does payment work?
You pay 50% when entering into the agreement and the remaining 50% when your dress is finished.
Please see our terms and conditions for further information.
What if I need to cancel my appointment?
Please let us know as soon as possible and at least 7 days before your appointment. This gives us the chance to offer the time to another bride.
Do you have any other questions?
You are always welcome to contact us if you are unsure about anything before your appointment. We look forward to meeting you and helping you find your wedding dress.
