Bridal wear businesses specialise in clothing and accessories for weddings, particularly outfits for brides. They typically stock wedding dresses in a range of styles, fabrics and sizes, from simple designs to more elaborate gowns. Some also offer dresses for civil ceremonies, receptions or other wedding events, as well as outfits for bridesmaids, flower girls and mothers of the couple. Customers can usually expect help with choosing a dress, arranging fittings and making alterations so that it fits properly. Shops may offer made-to-measure or bespoke designs, and can advise on veils, shoes, jewellery, belts and other accessories to coordinate with an outfit. Some businesses sell ready-to-wear garments, while others work to order, with availability, lead times and alteration services varying between providers.
