Ring consultation

Ring care, refurbishment, and resizing

Regular, gentle cleaning preserves the shine; deep restoration or resizing should be handled by professionals. Feasibility and effort depend on the material, surface finish, and stone settings.

Ring consultation

Discreetly determine ring size

A well-fitting ring you already own provides a good starting point, provided it is worn on the correct finger. However, a professional measurement remains the safest option for placing an order.

Ring consultation

Combining engagement and wedding rings

For a stacking ring, the height, contour, metal color, and stone setting should all harmonize. Please bring your engagement ring to the wedding ring consultation so that spacing and friction can be checked.

Ring consultation

Ring width, profile, and comfort

Width and inner profile determine how prominent and comfortable a ring feels. Try out different combinations for several minutes and with normal hand movements.

Ring consultation

Wedding ring budget and price factors

Material, ring width, thickness, finish, stone setting, and the price of gold all influence the cost. Therefore, a sensible budget is best determined based on the specific pair of rings rather than through flat-rate minimums.

Ring consultation

Comparison of wedding ring materials

Gold, platinum, palladium, silver, and zirconium differ in color, weight, hardness, maintenance requirements, and price. The best choice is one that suits the feel against your skin, your daily lifestyle, and your desired look.

Season & material

Transporting and storing your wedding dress

A breathable garment bag—with ample height and minimal pressure—protects the fabric and embellishments. When smoothing the dress shortly before the wedding, always follow the material and care instructions.

Season & material

Outdoor wedding: train, shoes, and weather

For outdoor settings, a practical train system, suitable shoes, and a plan for wet or hot weather help. The dress can suit the venue without you having to compromise on your desired style.

Season & material

Lace, chiffon, tulle, satin, and Mikado

Chiffon drapes lightly, tulle creates volume, satin looks smooth and fluid, and Mikado is structured and crisp. Lace transforms the entire effect of a dress depending on the pattern and the fabric underneath.

Fit & sizes

Wedding dresses for petite and tall women

Proportions, waistline, neckline, and where the skirt begins are more important than blanket rules based on height. Almost any style can work if the cut and alterations are chosen correctly.

Fit & sizes

Test freedom of movement in the wedding dress

A wedding dress needs to impress in more ways than just how it looks in the mirror. Sitting, walking, raising your arms, and trying out a few dance steps will reveal whether the fit, support, and fabric weight are right for your wedding day.

Fit & sizes

A-line, boho, fit & flare, or princess?

A-line offers a balanced look, boho thrives on lightness, fit & flare accentuates the silhouette, and princess creates volume. The right style is only truly determined when worn and in motion.

Fit & sizes

Curvy fitting without compromise

A good "curvy" fitting offers a genuine selection, appropriate sample sizes, and the same variety of styles as any other consultation. At Herzlich Braut, the collection ranges from size 32 to 60.

Fit & sizes

Wedding dress size vs. everyday clothing size

Wedding dress sizes differ from everyday clothing sizes depending on the manufacturer and cut. The number on the label is therefore merely a technical starting point, not a judgment of your body.

Your fitting

First dress or second fitting?

Choosing a dream dress early on is perfectly valid, even if you’ve only tried on a few styles. A second fitting is helpful if you have lingering doubts—not for artificially undermining a feeling of certainty.

Your fitting

Planning a realistic wedding dress budget

Factor in not just the cost of the dress, but also potential alterations, shoes, a veil, and accessories. At Herzlich Braut, wedding dresses currently start at 399 euros and range—depending on the model and design—up to over 2,800 euros, all prices including VAT.

Your fitting

How many guests should I bring to the fitting?

Having two to four close confidants often provides sufficient support without too many opinions overshadowing your own feelings. What matters most is who truly knows you and respects your decision.

Your fitting

When should I start looking for a wedding dress?

Ideally, start nine to twelve months before the wedding. A good solution is still possible with less lead time, provided that delivery times, alterations, and accessories are planned together at an early stage.
