Frequently asked questions

Elizabeth Lucas is a bridal boutique located in Beverley, East Yorkshire.

We welcome brides from Beverley, Hull, York, East Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and further afield who are searching for something a little different from the traditional wedding dress shopping experience.

If you are searching for a bridal shop in Beverley, wedding dresses in East Yorkshire or a luxury bridal boutique near Hull, we would love to welcome you.

Yes. We work by appointment so that every bride receives dedicated time, attention and styling advice during her visit.

Your bridal appointment is your opportunity to explore different silhouettes, fabrics and styles, from A-line wedding dresses and fitted bridal gowns to corset wedding dresses, lace gowns, satin dresses and modern ball gowns.

You do not need to know exactly what you want before your appointment. In fact, many brides leave wearing something completely different from what they originally imagined.

We recommend starting your wedding dress search around 9 to 12 months before your wedding where possible.

This allows time for your gown to be ordered, delivered and altered to achieve the perfect fit.

However, if your wedding is sooner, please still get in touch. Depending on the designer and gown, shorter lead times may be available and we may also have options suitable for brides planning a wedding on a tighter timescale.

Our collection includes a wide variety of contemporary and romantic wedding dress styles.

You will find A-line wedding dresses, fitted and fit-and-flare gowns, sheath wedding dresses, trumpet silhouettes, bridal ball gowns, drop waist wedding dresses, Basque waist wedding dresses, corset bodice gowns, strapless wedding dresses, off-the-shoulder dresses and scoop neck bridal gowns.

We also love dresses with distinctive details including exposed corsetry, pearl embellishment, floral lace, Chantilly lace, Alençon lace, leg splits, detachable sleeves, detachable straps, bridal overskirts, bubble hems, statement trains and illusion bodices.

Our aim is to offer gowns that feel current and fashion-led while still feeling unmistakably bridal.

.

Yes. Corset wedding dresses are a major part of our collection.

We stock bridal gowns featuring structured corset bodices, exposed boning, sheer corsetry, sweetheart necklines, scoop necklines and sculpted Basque or drop waists.

Corset-style wedding dresses are perfect for brides who want a gown that feels structured and supportive while creating a beautifully defined silhouette.

You will find corset details across everything from romantic lace wedding dresses to clean satin gowns, fitted dresses and dramatic ball gowns.

Yes. We have a beautiful selection of Basque waist wedding dresses and drop waist bridal gowns.

These silhouettes are particularly popular with brides looking for a modern, fashion-forward shape. A Basque or drop waist can visually elongate the torso and create a beautifully sculpted hourglass silhouette.

Our collection includes Basque waist ball gowns, fitted Basque waist dresses, corset wedding dresses and drop waist A-line gowns in lace, satin, Mikado and other luxury bridal fabrics.

Yes. A-line wedding dresses are one of the most versatile and flattering bridal silhouettes.

Our collection ranges from soft and romantic lace A-line wedding dresses to clean, structured Mikado and satin A-line gowns.

We also stock contemporary A-line styles featuring corset bodices, square necklines, scoop necklines, sweetheart necklines, drop waists, Basque waists and statement trains.

Yes. If you love a more figure-hugging silhouette, we stock a selection of fitted wedding dresses, fit-and-flare bridal gowns, sheath wedding dresses and trumpet-style gowns.

These styles can range from sleek, minimalist satin dresses to intricately detailed lace gowns.

Many feature modern bridal details including corset bodices, draped satin, ruching, illusion lace, detachable sleeves, pearl embellishment and thigh-high leg splits.

Absolutely. Lace remains one of our favourite bridal fabrics.

Our collection includes Chantilly lace wedding dresses, corded lace gowns, floral lace wedding dresses and Alençon lace bridal gowns.

You will find lace used across everything from romantic A-line dresses and fitted gowns to contemporary corset dresses and dramatic ball gowns.

For brides who love softer bridal styling, we also offer dresses with eyelash lace, scalloped lace edging, illusion lace bodices and lace-trimmed trains.

Yes. We stock a range of satin wedding dresses for brides who love clean, elegant and minimalist bridal styling.

Our collection includes soft satin, stretch satin, Mikado, charmeuse and structured satin gowns.

Whether you are searching for a simple satin wedding dress, fitted satin bridal gown, satin ball gown, strapless satin dress or modern drop waist wedding dress, our collection includes both understated and statement designs.

Yes. We love minimalist wedding dresses and clean bridal styling.

Our modern bridal collection includes sleek satin gowns, structured Mikado wedding dresses, simple A-line silhouettes and beautifully draped fitted gowns.

Clean wedding dresses can still have incredible detail. Look out for architectural necklines, corset bodices, dramatic Basque waists, sculpted seams, pearl detailing, buttons and statement trains.

Yes. Brides looking for a softer, more relaxed aesthetic can explore our selection of boho wedding dresses and romantic lace bridal gowns.

Think lightweight fabrics, soft tulle, delicate floral lace, effortless A-line silhouettes, illusion bodices and beautifully relaxed detailing.

We can also help style a boho bridal look with accessories including lace veils, soft bridal veils and statement accessories.

Yes. For brides who want drama, we stock a selection of ball gown wedding dresses and full-skirt bridal gowns.

Our collection includes modern satin ball gowns, lace ball gowns, corseted wedding dresses and structured A-line designs.

Details such as drop waists, Basque waists, scoop necklines, square necklines, pearl embellishment and detachable overskirts give the traditional bridal ball gown a much more contemporary feel.

Yes. We stock many strapless wedding dresses, including sweetheart necklines, scoop necklines, square necklines and straight-neck corset gowns.

A strapless bridal gown can create a beautifully clean neckline and works particularly well with statement jewellery, bridal gloves, detachable sleeves or a dramatic wedding veil.

Yes. Some of our wedding dresses feature sleeves, while others can be styled with detachable bridal sleeves.

Detachable lace sleeves are particularly popular because they allow you to create two different wedding-day looks — for example, romantic long lace sleeves for the ceremony and a strapless gown for the evening.

Yes. We stock modern wedding dresses with leg splits, including fitted, draped and lace bridal gowns.

A thigh-high split can give a traditional bridal silhouette a more contemporary and confident feel while also allowing additional movement through the skirt.

Yes. Wedding dresses with detachable overskirts are perfect for brides who want two bridal looks in one.

A fitted wedding dress can be transformed into a dramatic ball gown for the ceremony before the overskirt is removed for the reception.

We love detachable bridal styling because it gives you versatility without needing to purchase a completely separate second wedding dress.

Yes. We offer bridal veils to complete your wedding-day look.

Depending on your dress and personal style, we can help you choose from lace wedding veils, cathedral veils, long bridal veils, simple veils and statement veils.

Your veil should complement your wedding dress rather than compete with it, so we can help you consider lace placement, length, fabric and overall styling.

Yes. Alongside wedding dresses, we can help complete your bridal look with carefully selected bridal accessories.

Depending on the gown, this may include wedding veils, lace veils, pearl accessories, bridal chokers, detachable sleeves, bridal scarves and overskirts.

Accessories are a brilliant way of making your wedding dress feel personal to you.

There is no single neckline that works for every bride, which is why trying different shapes is so useful.

Our collection includes sweetheart wedding dresses, scoop neck bridal gowns, square neck wedding dresses, straight necklines, off-the-shoulder wedding dresses and strapless corset styles.

Your stylist can help you compare different shapes and find the neckline that makes you feel most confident.

The most flattering wedding dress is the one that makes you feel incredible.

Different silhouettes create very different effects. A-line wedding dresses offer soft balance and movement, fit-and-flare gowns follow the figure, sheath wedding dresses create a long clean line and ball gowns emphasise the waist with additional volume through the skirt.

Corsetry, Basque waists, drop waists, ruching and carefully positioned lace can also completely change how a dress shapes the body.

Rather than limiting yourself to one silhouette before your appointment, we recommend trying a variety.

Completely.

You do not need to arrive knowing whether you want a lace wedding dress, satin gown, A-line dress, corset bridal gown or fitted wedding dress.

Part of your appointment is discovering which silhouettes, necklines, fabrics and details feel most like you.

Sometimes the dress you would never have chosen from a photograph becomes the one you cannot stop thinking about once you put it on.

Wear comfortable, seamless underwear where possible. Nude underwear can be particularly useful underneath lighter or illusion fabrics.

You do not need to bring wedding shoes unless you already have them.

Most importantly, arrive ready to experiment. Trying different styles is often the quickest way to understand whether you prefer clean satin wedding dresses, romantic lace gowns, modern corsetry, boho bridal styles or dramatic ball gowns.

Bring the people whose opinions you genuinely trust and who will help make the experience enjoyable.

Too many opinions can sometimes make choosing your wedding dress more difficult, so a smaller group often creates a more relaxed bridal appointment.

Remember that ultimately your wedding dress needs to feel right for you.

Our designers offer gowns across a range of bridal sizes, and many styles are available in an extensive size range.

Wedding dress sizing can differ from normal high-street clothing sizes, so please do not worry about the number on the label.

During your appointment, we focus on how each gown fits, feels and can be ordered for you rather than the sample size itself.

Yes. Bridal alterations are a normal part of achieving the final fit of your wedding dress.

Common wedding dress alterations include adjusting the length, refining the bodice, altering straps, improving bust support and perfecting the overall fit.

Some gowns may also allow additional personalisation depending on the designer and construction.
