Over the years we have realized how expensive it has become to get married, and to spoil yourself with a stunning wedding dress you deserve. Therefore, we established an affordable designer wedding dress boutique, consisting of over 60 fully imported, quality wedding dresses. We offer an affordable purchase collection, with most of our in-boutique styles also available to hire.
Shopping for your wedding dress must be an exciting, joyous, and intimate experience, to be shared with those closest to you. At Imago Bridalwear we offer you THE BRIDE, a personal, one on one consultation experience offering you expert advice and fashionable, quality designer gowns that are available for viewing, fitting, and purchasing in our private Bridal Boutique situated in the quiet suburb of Sunward Park in Boksburg.

Yes please, our private bridal consultations are by Appointment Only and are recommended for brides who are on the serious hunt & ready to purchase their wedding dress. You can request your private bridal consultation here on our website via the Book A Fitting page or you can email us at info@bridalwear.co.za
We currently do not charge a wedding dress fitting fee. Our professional consultations are scheduled for 1 hour, in which time you can fit on 4 to 5 gowns.
We can accommodate the bride plus 4 guests at the wedding dress fitting. Please note that more is not always merrier when it comes to wedding dress shopping! Invite guests who understand your style, give supportive feedback, and will help you look your best. Hearing too many opinions can be overwhelming for even the most confident of brides, so keep the guest list short and sweet.
During your appointment we will discuss your wedding style, the look and feel you are going for on your wedding day and your wedding dress ideas before you start trying on wedding dresses. Your budget and dress requirements will also be discussed. We will make recommendations regarding fit, silhouette, fabric type and dress colour during your fitting.

YES YES YES. We stock independent designer gowns in all sizes. The advantage for you, the bride, is that you can get an amazing independent designer gown at an exceptional price, sometimes up to 50% less than what other bridal boutiques offer, and that won’t be available and sold all over the place.
Purchase Gowns.
Once you have said YES to your dream dress from our purchase collection, we require a 60% non-refundable deposit to be paid before we take your measurements and place your order with our suppliers. The balance of the gowns purchase price needs to be settled before your order is shipped to us.
Rental Gowns.
Once you have said YES to your dream dress from our hire collection, a minimum deposit amount of R2000 is payable to book and secure the gown for your chosen wedding date. The balance of the hire amount is due by your final fitting date (+/- 2 weeks before your wedding), before we incur alteration and dry-cleaning expenses on the gown.
We have a standard lead time of 5 – 8 WEEKS. We suggest starting your wedding dress shopping at least 6 months before your wedding date in order to give yourself enough time to choose and order your perfect wedding dress. If you do not have 5 – 8 weeks to order a wedding dress do not worry, we can still help you! Depending on your timeline you can still order a wedding dress but an added Rush Fee will be applicable, or you can consider one of our rental gown options. We have on numerous occasions helped brides in less than a week with a wedding dress, but leaving it so late is not recommended!
Mermaid or Trumpet style wedding dresses hug the curves closely and are a great choice if you feel like to want to accentuate your curvy figure. This popular style is most flattering to hour glass and rectangle shapes.
This flattering dress shape balances out top heavy shapes and helps hide some tummy bulge. Body shapes that look great in an A-Line wedding dress include the Inverted Triangle — because it balances out the top heavy shape, the Rectangle, the Pear and the Hour Glass.
This dress runs pretty much vertically from the shoulders down to the floor and the hem does not flair out, like it does in the A-Line, Empire or Ball Gown. A slim Hour Glass may like the body hugging features of this dress style, but the best suited shape seems to be the Rectangle for this wedding gown.
The Ball Gown wedding gown is also called the Fairy-Tale wedding gown, or the Cinderella wedding dress. Pear shapes love this type of wedding dress, but the Hour Glass, the Inverted Triangle, the Rectangle, and the Apple also find this shape attractive on them.
