MEET ALANA

β€œAt Bride & Winter we adore women, what we stand for, what we endure, how we balance, how we love, how strong we are, yet so gentle at the same time. This is what we channel with every bridal appointment.”

Alana is an avid lover of style not fashion. She believes that size does not dictate & is forever on the quest to celebrate femininity & encourage women to love their bodies no matter what size or shape.

A professional image consultant & personal stylist, she has a deep understanding of body shapes, proportion, balance & styles to suit all women which she shares with & teaches all her stylists.

A refreshingly contemporary & holistic approach to bridal, Alana returned to Dunedin after seven years in the style mecca of Melbourne to simply follow a dream.....

FAQ

were here to help

  • So that we can give each bride our undivided attention appointments are preferred. With an appointment will have you the entire fitting studio to yourself and your dedicated stylist will work closely with you to find the perfect gown to meet your body shape, style and personality. We do charge a one off $50 appointment fee that we’ll take off the price of your perfect gown, and any subsequent appointments are at no charge.

    • Monday to Friday 9.00am - 5.00pm

    • Late Night Tuesday & Wednesday 5.00pm - 9.30pm

    • Saturday 9.30am - 4.00pm

    • Week day and late night appointments are 90 minutes.

    • 60 minutes on Saturday.

  • Gowns can take up to four to six months to make if it is being made to order. When you factor in shipping and alterations, it could be a six month total process. We suggest deciding on a gown six to nine months prior to your wedding date, so you have time built in for fittings and accessorising. There are rush options for weddings under six months, but rush fees do apply. Of course you can still buy straight from the rack.

  • All gowns need alterations for a completely unique and perfectly polished fit. We do all of this onsite and can walk you through all of your options when you come in for your appointment.

  • We do our best to accommodate as many beautiful body types as possible with our in-store gowns. We have sizes and styles that look beautiful from size 6 - 24.

  • We recommend that you limit your I Do Crew to three or four during your visit. We are a cozy little boutique with limited seating and we have found that the opinions of a trusted few always make for an easier decision for you.

  • Our gowns generally range from $1200 - $3500.
