It’s 2025 or 2026, and your wedding is getting closer—but have you ordered your dress yet? If not, let’s be honest: it’s time to get a move on!

At Roberta’s Bridal, in Stoke-on-Trent, we work on a made-to-order basis, which means dresses typically take 6–9 months to arrive. This allows enough time for your gown to be made, delivered, and fitted to perfection. But if your wedding is less than a year away, you might need to think more strategically about your options.

For urgent weddings, some designers offer express production in as little as 12 weeks, though this depends on the style and availability. If you’re cutting it fine, we also have a selection of off-the-peg gowns, ready to take home the same day. These are perfect for last-minute brides and start from £1,000—still stunning, still luxurious, just without the wait.

The key message? Don’t leave it too late! We want every bride to have a stress-free, joyful experience—no panic, no compromises, just a beautiful dress and a brilliant day. Our private fitting rooms, expert stylists, and dedicated team are here to help, whether you need a made-to-order gown or an immediate solution.

Book your appointment now and let’s find the perfect dress for your big day—whether it’s months or weeks away!
