We take great pride in ensuring each gown reaches you safely and on time, and we’ve outlined our full shipping policy below for clarity and peace of mind.
Once production is complete, each order undergoes a detailed quality-control inspection before dispatch, we require a minimum of 2-3 days upon completion to carry out our detailed checks and for our signature detailed packing to be carried out by our team.
Orders are dispatched only after full payment has cleared, this is inclusive of any price adjustments payments our add on invoices that may be outstanding.
Our standard production timeframe is 12–16 weeks from the date of order confirmation (when payment and all measurements have been received + the 5-day amendment/cooling off period).
Please note that this timeframe refers to production only, shipping time is additional and depends on your delivery address and courier service.
During peak wedding seasons or unexpected supply-chain delays, dispatch times may extend slightly. We will always notify you with as much notice as possible if we anticipate any delays in production.
UK Shipping
All UK deliveries are sent with Royal Mail via tracked and signed-for courier services (tracked 24 / 48)
Once your parcel leaves our premises, you will receive a dispatch confirmation email with your tracking number so you can follow your parcel’s journey.
Delivery within the UK typically takes 1–3 working days after dispatch.
Please ensure that someone is available at the delivery address to sign for your parcel. If no one is available, the courier will leave a calling card or delivery notification for you to rearrange delivery or collection.

All international orders including those to the Republic of Ireland are sent via tracked courier services such as Royal Mail International Tracked

Customs fees vary between countries and are calculated based on factors such as:
Total order value (including shipping)
Local tax rates (e.g., VAT or import tax)
Product type and fabric composition
Bridesmaid by JB Ltd has no control over these charges and cannot predict or reimburse them. Refusal to pay customs fees may result in your parcel being held, delayed, or returned to us.
If this occurs, we can reship your order once any return shipping fees and new delivery charges have been paid in full.
