Have you always wanted to get married in a beautiful, modern wedding dress? Do you love fine tulle, airy chiffon, sophisticated lace patterns and just want to feel completely comfortable in your dress and not dressed up?

Does it matter to you that your wedding dress is manufactured under fair conditions and are you willing to budget accordingly for quality? Then you've come to the right place with noni.
Here you will find out how to find your dream dress and everything you need to know about your personal wedding dress advice in the noni showroom in Cologne.

A wedding dress is a great way to emphasize your personality and individuality. Choosing the right dress can be more than just an aesthetic decision. It's also about the feeling it makes you feel and how it affects your big day: a well-fitting and stylish wedding dress can significantly increase your self-confidence as a bride. If you feel beautiful and comfortable at your wedding, you will radiate this - this positive energy is contagious and has an impact on the entire wedding celebration. Finding the right wedding dress can be a challenge. But with a little knowledge and self-confidence, searching for a wedding dress becomes an exciting adventure.

Every body is unique and beautiful in its own way. There is no "right" or "wrong" when choosing a dress. Choose a dress that emphasizes your individual features and makes you feel like the most beautiful bride. For example, if you want to emphasize your waist, a dress with a well-defined waist might be ideal.

Reflect your own style in your wedding dress
Your style shows who you are. Are you more of a romantic, classic or modern type? Or maybe the vintage type? If you typically wear clothing with a certain silhouette, color, or detailing, these features can also be showcased in your wedding dress.

Matching the dress to the desired wedding theme
It is also sometimes important that your wedding dress fits the theme of your wedding. If you're planning a rustic, more casual barn wedding, a boho wedding dress would be a perfect fit. On the other hand, if you are planning a formal black tie wedding, an elegant formal wedding dress would be your best choice. If your dress harmonizes well with the decorations, flowers and other elements of the wedding, it creates a harmonious look that will impress your guests.

Budget planning and timing when looking for a wedding dress
Planning the budget and the right time to buy a wedding dress is a crucial aspect that is often underestimated. It's important to set a realistic price range before you start looking for the perfect dress.

Our bridal tops and bodies cost between €159 and €599, noni skirts and wedding dresses cost between €349 and €1,300. Even if you have a smaller budget for your wedding dress, you can find what you are looking for with us: our selection of outfits in the noni bridal fashion outlet in Cologne, in the online outlet and in the online sale is large and is constantly being expanded. Here you can already find bridal tops from €60 and skirts from €199 - we also regularly offer you discount campaigns in the online shop and in the showroom, about which you will be regularly informed in the noni newsletter or on our Instagram channel.

During a wedding dress trying appointment, we take enough time for you and your wishes. We will discuss your ideas and work with you to select the outfits you would like to try on. A consultant and a changing room are available to you personally for 1.5 hours, i.e. 90 minutes. After the extensive renovation of our showroom, we now also offer barrier-free consultations and fittings on the ground floor.

Do you like our dresses, but would you like to see the wedding dresses “in real life” before making an appointment? We look forward to your visit and are happy to answer any questions you may have, but unfortunately it is not possible to spontaneously try on wedding dresses.

In order to avoid waiting times for you and your companion and so that our advisory team can better plan your visit, we recommend that you book a free trial appointment in advance. Here you can get an initial overview of our range. If you are not able to visit us in advance, you can get a first impression of what parts await you in the online shop. Here we show you what our outfits look like on “real brides”.

We really like to invest a lot of time in personal and individual advice - but we also have to manage the time capacity of our customer advisors. In our small company, every consultant has other important tasks. They work as seamstresses, cutting directors, take care of customers' orders and answer all your questions by email, live chat and on the phone.

We are currently offering all consultation appointments in the noni showroom free of charge.
Once you have booked, we will reserve your appointment for you and prepare carefully for your visit. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please let us know.

Good preparation can make all the difference when it comes to finding the perfect dress.

We recommend blush or nude underwear for the fitting, as, depending on the wedding dress, bras and panties in white or black can shine through and distract from the overall impression of the wedding dress. If you don't have suitable lingerie, that's not a problem. Simply wear the lingerie that provides the slightest contrast to your skin tone. White and black are generally the least suitable here.

In our showroom we have shoes to try on for you, as well as matching bras that can be worn under the wedding dress. Some brides prefer to try on different wedding dresses with fine tights, so you should bring those with you too. If you already have shoes or know what heel height you want to get married in, bring a pair of shoes that comes closest to what you envision as your final bridal shoes. This is important for the length of your outfit.

Many brides feel more comfortable with a little make-up, but please remember: heavy make-up and especially lip gloss or lipstick quickly lead to stains on the wedding dresses. That's why we ask you to only apply your make-up discreetly for your showroom appointment. When we try it on, we have a hood ready for you to protect the dress from unwanted stains.

Take inspiration pictures and notes with you
Collect pictures of outfits, create mood boards that you like and bring them with you to the fitting. This will help you and your customer advisor better understand your style and preferences. You can also get inspiration in the noni online shop and from our noni brides.

During the consultation, ask all the questions you need, for example about the available sizes and possible customization options, the prices and the duration of the order and delivery.

When looking for a wedding dress, take people you trust and whose opinions you value. This could be your mother, a sister, a friend or even a professional wedding planner. They can help you look at the dress from different perspectives and perhaps highlight aspects that you may have overlooked yourself. However, too many opinions can also be confusing. Therefore, limit the number of accompanying people. This keeps the experience manageable and stress-free. Our experience has shown that around three companions are ideal.

Many brides find it helpful when making a decision to be able to compare pictures of themselves in the different wedding dresses after the appointment. That's why you or your companion are allowed to take photos and videos during your appointment with us, which can then also serve as a nice memory of a shared experience. You can also share pictures of your joint showroom visit on social networks. We would be happy to receive a mention, for example on Instagram.

It is crucial to choose the right size wedding dress to ensure that it fits perfectly and you feel comfortable in it.

The optimal fit
Your body measurements are the key to determining the right clothing size. During your visit, your consultant will measure you to make sure your dress fits correctly. Even if a dress is the correct size, minor adjustments may be required to make it perfect. Be it adjusting the length or sewing in certain areas, alterations can transform a good dress into the perfect wedding dress. You can have adjustments to your wedding dress made by a tailor you trust. Following your appointment in the noni showroom, your advisor will provide you with a list of reputable and professional tailoring shops if you don't know of a studio in your area. Remember that changes can take time. So make sure you allow enough time to make any changes before your big day.

The fit of a wedding dress depends heavily on your exact measurements and the quality of the fittings. Good fit is characterized by a comfortable fit that is neither too tight nor too loose, an appropriate length that fits your height and shoes well, and proportions that flatter your body shape.

When trying on clothes, you should try out different dress styles and silhouettes to find out what suits and likes you best.

1. Experiment with different silhouettes and neckline shapes
Don't hesitate to try out different silhouettes and neckline shapes. You might be surprised at what you actually like and suit!

2. Comfort and freedom of movement
Be sure to make sure the dress not only looks good but is also comfortable. You should be able to move freely, dance, and enjoy comfort all day long.

Also consider how the dress might feel in different weather conditions. For example, a heavy satin dress might be too warm on a hot summer day.

Consider the fabrics and embellishments of the wedding dresses
The choice of fabric and embellishments of a dress can significantly contribute to the overall aesthetic and comfort. Each fabric brings its own texture, shine and properties that influence the look and feel of a wedding dress.

Differences between lace, chiffon, satin and other fabrics
Lace adds a touch of romance and vintage charm to a dress, while chiffon is known for its light, flowy texture that is perfect for beach or summer weddings. Satin, on the other hand, is elegant and formal with a glossy finish that shines in formal or evening wedding settings.

Embellished wedding dresses
Embellishments can help transform a simple wedding dress into something truly spectacular. Appliqued beads or crystals can add a touch of glamor and sparkle to a dress, while embroidery is often used to add unique patterns and designs. Applications in the form of stylized leaves for an organic 3D look are particularly popular.

Maybe you like the design of a particular dress, but you want to add a little sparkle to it. In this case, you can consider adding additional embellishments such as crystals or beads. Or perhaps you prefer a more minimalist look - removing embellishments could be the right choice then. Whether such alterations are possible depends on the design of the dress you choose. In any case, discuss this with your customer advisor in advance.

Ideally, you will find the outfit you want during your appointment. Following your appointment, your consultant will create an offer for you, which will be sent by email.

But the most important thing is: trust your inner voice. Do you feel comfortable in the outfit you tried on? Do you have enough freedom of movement? Is the dress comfortable? Do you have a wedding dress that not only appeals to your companion or your advisor, but also to you personally? Our sensitive customer advisors will never force a wedding dress on you that you no longer like afterwards. So don't worry: you don't have to decide right away, after all, choosing a wedding dress is an important matter that needs to be carefully considered. Our offer remains valid for 14 days.

Are you not from Cologne or the surrounding area so you can't visit us for advice? Or would you rather try on the wedding dresses in peace and quiet at home? You can easily order your wedding dress, accessories and shoes in our online shop, and of course you can also order several models and sizes for comparison. After receiving your order, you have 14 days to return the items without giving any reason.

Storing your wedding dress before the wedding is crucial to keeping it in top condition. Avoid storage locations with extreme heat, humidity, or direct sunlight as these can damage the dress's material. Store your dress in a breathable garment bag or box to protect it from dust and light, and if possible, hang it somewhere safe and high. Even after the wedding, your dress deserves careful attention. You can still store it in a garment bag or box to protect it from environmental influences.
