Do I need two appointments if my bridesmaids want to visit?

You certainly will, we suggest making an appointment for any product that you wish to try on, an appointment with BB will ensure that one of our stylists is available to assist you with garment knowledge, style advice and general service. Due to the variety of style variations and colour options our stylists are trained to help you achieve the perfect styling for your wedding party.
