TERMS

Ordering I (the customer) am aware that the Bella Victoria Bridal, Moonlight Bridal, MillaNova Wedding Fashions, Crystal Design and Eve of Milady collection gowns are not made to measure. They are simply ordered in the size that I deem closest to suit. Parts of the gown are one size fits all, and other parts are ordered to size.

I also acknowledge and have been advised by Bella Victoria Bridal that the Bella Victoria Bridal Collection gowns are designer inspired and are not actual designer gowns. Bella Victoria Bridal has advised the bride that gowns will be manufactured as close as possible to the designer gown as the budget allows.

Embellishments, fabrics, etc., will differ from photographs of the designer gowns.

When ordering a new gown from Bella Victoria Bridal a 50% non-refundable deposit is required. The 50% balance must be paid in full once gown arrives in store despite any changes in wedding plans.

If you are not local and will not be able to come pick up the gown, then full payment will be required prior to shipping of the gown. Gowns must be collected within 45 days of notification that your gown has arrived in store.

Uncollected gowns after 45 days will be returned to stock and resold. Deposits are forfeited if orders are not collected. We do not take any responsibility for a garment once it has left our possession.

Time Frame 

I understand it takes 17 weeks for the Eve of Milady and Moonlight Bridal Collection and 10 weeks for the Bella Victoria Bridal Collection, 12 – 24 weeks for the MillaNova Wedding Fashions Collection and Crystal Design depending on production.

My gown has to be produced, and that the time frame will start from the date I have paid the 50% Non-refundable deposit and my gown is ordered by Bella Victoria Bridal.

I have read Bella Victoria Bridal’s Delivery and Shipping Policy and understand I will need to allow for the estimated delivery times and customs processes. I understand that these time frames are estimates only, and Bella Victoria Bridal cannot be held responsible for unforeseen delays in shipping and customs.

At a minimum, alterations will be required to secure the straps at the perfect length, add a bustle and hem the gown, I understand I need to leave sufficient time before my wedding for me to source these alterations myself. Eve of Milady offers gown length alterations (shorten or lengthen the gowns) priced at 15% of the retail cost. If you decide to seek alterations elsewhere Bella Victoria Bridal is not responsible for any alterations mishaps.

Colours may vary as to settings on computers and monitors, and it is therefore impossible to guarantee an exact colour match by Bella Victoria Bridal.

Slight variations and small faults will sometimes occur, particularly in silk fabrics which are made from a natural fibre, but these minor inconsistencies and variations are what make my gown unique and one of a kind, and are something to be celebrated!

Due to the delicate nature of Bella Victoria Bridal, Moonlight Bridal, MillaNova Wedding Fashions, Crystal Design and Eve of Milady collection embellishments, my gown will lose small amounts of beads with time, wear, alterations and dry cleaning;
