Ronald Joyce is a good place to see how much one detail changes a wedding dress. The four pieces we have in store are very different from each other, so trying them side by side tells you a lot about what you like.

Corsette is a strapless lace gown with corset-style seaming that shapes the waist before it flares into a fitted mermaid skirt, and the lace runs unbroken from bodice to hem. Sparkle is a slim sheath in beaded lace with a sweetheart illusion neckline and a lace-edged train. It stays close to the body all the way down, so the beading catches the light every time you move.

Noelle goes the other way: a structured satin A-line with a wide, softly draped neckline and no embellishment at all. It's the one to try if you'd like a dramatic veil or your jewellery to do the talking, and it's pink, which is worth seeing in person if you're thinking beyond ivory.

Then there's the Mariah overskirt, a detachable tulle layer that turns a fitted gown into a full ballgown. Wear it for the ceremony and the photos, unclip it for the dancing, and one dress gives you two looks. If you can't choose between fitted and full, it's worth putting on.

You might spot Sparkle, which is just stunning. We hold at least one of each, so ask about sizes before you travel. Book an appointment and we'll have them ready for you to try on.
