10 Profi-Tipps für deine Brautkleid Anprobe

Trying on your wedding dress is a special moment on your journey to the altar. To ensure that this appointment is not only an unforgettable day in your life but also a relaxed one, we have ten tried-and-tested tips for you.

Proper planning - How far in advance should I book my wedding dress fitting?

A wedding dress is a very special garment that requires a little lead time, depending on the style. This time can vary slightly depending on the season, but as a rule, you should book your wedding dress fitting appointment at our Cologne showroom approximately 3, or better 4, months before your wedding. We make your dress in standard sizes, so minor adjustments, such as shortening your bridal skirt, are normal and necessary. So make sure you allow enough time to have any alterations done to avoid stress before the wedding. We also fulfill special requests for an additional charge. However, we will then need more time for our Cologne-based seamstresses to make the alterations. In addition, the designs in the noni Selected line are only made to order for you in Cologne. If you want to have the full selection of our range, be sure to book your appointment early.

Wedding dress fitting appointment – when?

As a rule, you should book your fitting at least 3-4 months before the wedding. Some designs are made to order for you in Cologne.
However, if you are getting married at very short notice, we also have many styles in stock and can deliver your favorite outfit within 1 week.

Last-minute weddings – is that possible?

Yes, it is possible. We have many styles in stock. If the style is available in your size, you can also purchase it with a delivery time of approximately 2-6 business days (may vary). For our last-minute brides, we have also set up a special appointment, which you can book here.

Please note, however, that in this case, you will not be able to choose from the designs in the noni selected line. These are made exclusively for you in Cologne upon your order and therefore require at least 3 months' lead time.

First step toward the altar
Gather inspiration before your wedding dress fitting

Before you start, take some time to get inspired. What kind of bride do you want to be? What style suits you? Which wedding dresses do you like? Pinterest is the perfect platform for this. Create a board where you can collect your favorites and show them to our expert during your fitting. This will help the consultant understand your preferences better and suggest suitable dresses.

Expert tip
The right underwear for your wedding dress fitting

It is best to wear skin-colored, seamless briefs without lace and a strapless bra to your fitting appointment. This underwear is invisible under most wedding dresses and does not affect the fit of the dress.

What do I need to bear in mind for my fitting appointment? What should I bring with me?

Bring suitable shoes with you

Bring shoes with the heel height you want to wear on your wedding day. This way, you can experience the full effect of your dress and better estimate the actual length of the skirt or pants you need. Still looking for the right shoes? We only have a few bridal shoes on display in our Cologne showroom. It's better to take your time to browse our online shop beforehand and find the perfect model that you can bring with you to the fitting.

Wear subtle makeup

Avoid heavy makeup or lipstick to prevent stains on the wedding dresses. These stains occur very quickly when putting on the dress and are unsightly for the next bride who comes in for a fitting. To be on the safe side, we also have fine makeup caps in the fitting rooms, which your consultant will help you use.

Put your hair up

Would you like to wear your hair up on your wedding day? Then please bring hair ties or clips with you. This will help you to better assess how the dress looks. We also have beautiful hair accessories on display, which you can try on during your appointment.

Find the right shoes and accessories for your wedding dress

Assistance with fittings and budget

We recommend bringing no more than three guests to your wedding dress fitting at the noni showroom. Too many opinions can be confusing and make the decision more difficult.

During your appointment, try to keep an open mind about cuts and styles that you may not have considered for yourself. Sometimes a bridal top or skirt that you hadn't considered before can surprise you.

Another factor in your choice is your budget. Let your consultant know at the beginning so that she knows what price range you are looking at for your fitting. At noni, you will also find a few two-piece outfits for under €1,000. However, most combinations with an underskirt range between €1,000 and €1,500. When planning your budget, you should also take into account that you will need shoes and accessories.

Take notes

Write down your impressions and feelings about each dress, or have your friends film you during the fitting. After several fittings, this will help you keep track of everything and make a decision.

Good preparation is the key to a successful wedding dress fitting. With these tips, you'll be well equipped to find your dream dress and feel completely comfortable.
