FAQ - Bride

How many people can I bring during my appointment?
There is no hard and fast rule to this question as it depends on many factors. On average, a bride takes four people as her entourage. For a groom, the average is 2 to 3 people. We know from experience that the more people you bring with you, the more difficult it often becomes for yourself. Everyone has an opinion, and too many views often lead to confusion. If you want to take more people with you, this is no problem. We would appreciate it if you mentioned this when making your appointment so we can consider this when planning the fitting rooms. You usually bring one or two people with you for follow-up appointments to try on and collect your dress. Our unique VIP lounge is ideal for larger groups. More information about our VIP lounge? View the options here.


Do you also sell accessories to complete my dress?
Our store has a separate department for accessories, jewelry, underwear, and shoes. With this, you can complete your wedding look and see which accessories, jewelry, and shoes go best with your dress.

Can I eat something with you?
You can. Everyone is welcome in our all-pink restaurant called Ineke’s Restaurant. Many brides and grooms drink a cup of coffee before the appointment or celebrate that they have found the perfect wedding dress or costume after the appointment. That has to be tried! The team of Ineke's restaurant is available all day long with delicious homemade pastries, salads, and sandwiches.

Are there any house rules at Koonings?

  • We think it is essential that everyone feels comfortable at Koonings and that you are satisfied with your visit afterward. We are particularly selective and careful when dealing with our store and exclusive collections and would like to ask you to show understanding. We create a cherished environment and experience together.
  • Because we want to give our carefully selected wedding dresses and costumes the right stage, taking photos and videos is not allowed in the fitting rooms. If photos and videos are taken in the other rooms, the privacy of the other guests must be taken into account. Filming or photographing our stylists is only allowed with permission from the person or persons concerned.
  • Our mission is to offer you a real Koonings experience, where all garments are presented to you by our experienced team. Of course, you do not have to search through the collections yourself, but skilled stylists will always assist you.
  • Delicious drinks and homemade dishes are prepared especially for you in Ineke's Restaurant. This all-pink restaurant can be found on the first floor. You understand that therefore using your consumption is not allowed in our wedding palace.
  • Smoking is only allowed on the designated patio.
  • Small or large, pets are unfortunately not allowed to enter our palace. Of course, service dogs are always welcome to accompany their owner.


Are the dresses I see on the website actually for sale?
The dresses shown on our website indicate all the dresses we have in our palace. We have over 4,500 dresses in stock, so there will always be dresses similar to the dresses shown on the website. If you want to come by for one special model, we advise you always to call or email us in advance.

Does the Koonings collection change regularly?
The new wedding dress season starts in the fall. Most dresses arrive around that time. In between, the Koonings collection is regularly supplemented with a few dresses. With this, we always keep our collection up-to-date and complete.

Do you sell colored wedding dresses?
We have different colored wedding dresses in our range. We have a range of pastel-colored wedding dresses as well as brightly colored dresses. In addition, it is sometimes also possible to order a specific model in a different color. Our stylists can advise you ideally about this.

Do you also sell wedding dresses in larger sizes?
Yes, at Koonings, you have come to the right place! Unfortunately, some women still think that there are no wedding dresses for full-figured sizes. Did you know that the average size of a bride is size 42? When purchasing our collections, we take into account all shapes and sizes that a woman can have. We think it is essential that everyone can get married in a dress that they feel comfortable in. Our dresses, therefore, vary not only in style and model but also in size. We have wedding dresses up to size 54 in our store. So we have options for fitting dresses for every size.

How can I be sure that the correct size is ordered if I still lose weight?
When a Kooning's bride plans to shed a few pounds, we postpone pinning the dress to a later stage. This way, you have time to reach your target weight. In addition, the stylists always take all your measurements with every fitting session so that our experienced seamstresses tailor the dress from the Koonings studio perfectly.

 

 

I am pregnant and getting married. What are the possibilities at Koonings?
First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy! A bride who is expecting is also very welcome with us! At Koonings, there are various options regarding pregnancy. Our stylist will discuss all these options with you and knows which models suit you, and our studio can entertain the dress.

I have a physical disability. What are the options at Koonings?
At Koonings, there is a wheelchair entrance and an elevator. Together with our stylist, you will look for the perfect wedding dress that meets your wishes and needs. Please inform us in advance about your limitation so we can adjust our service accordingly. Thanks to our fully equipped in-house workshop and experienced seamstresses, endless possibilities exist. Together we will make sure that you shine on your wedding day!

Can I design a wedding dress myself at Koonings?
You can! Ramona Koonings is not only owner of Koonings but also the designer of her own 'Ramona Koonings' collection. Together with Ramona or one of our specialized stylists, we will see your wishes. These are worked out in detail and produced so that you will ultimately shine on your wedding day in your own designed wedding dress!

What should I bring to my appointment at Koonings?
It would be best if you had nothing to fit in with Koonings except a good mood and a nice entourage. We provide shoes, underwear, and all other accessories. If you would like to wear certain items of your own while trying them on, that is, of course, always possible.

What price range do your wedding dresses fall into?
Wedding dresses at Koonings are sold at a price of €1195. Wedding dresses vary widely in price. The average price of a wedding dress is between €1200 and €2250. Koonings, The Wedding Palace, has been the largest bridal fashion store in the world since 2018. You can also visit us in every price category. To see if your dream dress falls within your budget, you can find an extensive collection of wedding dresses on our website, with a price indication.

Does Koonings ever have clothes on sale?
Keep an eye on our social media for promotions, sales, and seasonal offers.

Do you sell second-hand wedding dresses?
No, we do not sell used wedding dresses.

Do you rent out wedding dresses?
No, we do not rent out wedding dresses.

What is the average delivery time for a wedding dress?
Choosing the wedding dress for most brides starts a year before the final wedding day. We, therefore, recommend that you come 12 months before your wedding date. Choosing the wedding dress often plays a major role in the wedding preparation, so it is nice if you do not wait too long. We recommend that you start your search for your wedding dress at the start of your preparations. If your dress has to be ordered, the delivery time can quickly increase, depending on the supplier. In many cases, however, we have the dress in stock, and you can continue with the rest of the preparations with peace of mind.

On the big day, I get a stain on my dress. What now?
An accident soon happened. In the unlikely event that a stain appears on your wedding dress, you can always come back to us so that we can help you get it right. Doesn't it work? Please contact us so that we can advise you further. To be on the safe side, always take a needle and thread and skin-colored plasters with you.

How do I get wrinkles out of my veil or dress after I've picked it up?
Are there still creases in your veil and/or dress, for example, due to transporting your wedding dress or veil? Hang the dress and veil first so the air can get to it. The creases often heal on their own. You can also steam a little with your iron or steamer, but always do this from a distance and ensure that the iron's hot sole does not touch the veil and/or dress.

I am an honest doubter. What can I do in advance to make my appointment go smoothly? Coming to your appointment full of healthy tension is very typical. After all, you don't look for a wedding dress every day in the largest bridal fashion palace in the world! Our experienced stylists will take you by the hand and will do everything they can to make you feel good and go out with the right dress, but you can also do some things yourself beforehand:

  • Do not bring too much entourage. The more people, the more opinions; it can be pretty overwhelming when everyone advises something different. Two to four people's escort is enough to get a good idea of ​​what suits you. And the rest of your family or friends can admire the dress in the upcoming fittings or on the big day itself!
  • Put together a mood board. On our website, you can already scroll through many wedding dresses. Save this and take it with you to your appointment. This way, you give our stylist a good idea of ​​what you are looking for.
  • Think about your budget. In our wedding palace, you have dresses from many different price ranges. The stylist will ask you about your budget, so we know what to look for.
  • Don't wait for the happy tears. You might think it's part of it after watching dozens of romantic movies, but most brides in our wedding palace don't have to cry when they first step into their dream dress. Save those happy tears for the big day itself.
