initial consultation

After making an appointment, the initial consultation takes place in Charmi’s boutique. During this first meeting Charmi goes through her whole collection and suggests the various options available to the bride and groom. Clients are also welcome, and indeed encouraged, to bring their own ideas to the table, including magazine cuttings, specific colours, a particular style or theme, etc.

At this stage, clients also go through Charmi’s extensive colour, fabric and embroidery samples, which they are able to mix and match to create their dream outfits. Having discussed the various possibilities, Charmi comes up with a design sketch which puts on to paper the best ideas.

embroidery sample

Once the client is happy and places an order, an embroidery sample is produced and shown to the client for approval. The purpose of the sample is to enable the bride to picture what the wedding outfit will look like. Usually a choice of two embroidery samples are given to the client. At this stage it is still possible to make changes to colour, fabric and embroidery. The embroidery sample is for the bride to keep, allowing her to coordinate other aspects of her special day.

fitting sample


At the same time, a fitting sample is also made for the bride. This ensures that the fit of the final outfit is as desired. Again, at this stage the bride still has the option to make any changes to the design.

Once all the details are confirmed, the order is put into production.

collection


Once the outfit is ready, clients return for a final fitting. If there are any minor alterations, these are carried out within a few days. Once the bride is completely happy, the outfit is steam ironed and carefully packed, ready to wear on the big day.
