FAQ
1. What can I expect during a bridal appointment at Yasmin Rose?
At Yasmin Rose we believe an inviting and relaxing experience is a must when looking for 'The Dress.'
Our shop is based in luxurious surroundings, we work on a private appointment only basis to ensure our attention is focused solely on the bride. We do not allow walk in appointments, our entire boutique will be kept exclusive to the bride during the entire appointment slot.
We like to start by having a chat about the various styles and fabrics you would prefer to get an idea of your personal style.
We ask that you have an open mind, brides will often find 'The Dress' by trying on the styles they wouldn't usually go for! Bridal gowns have very little hanger appeal, it is always worth trying at least 2-3 different styles.
