Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book my bridal gown appointment?
We recommend booking 3 to 6 months prior to your wedding date to allow ample time for consultations, custom fabric sourcing, toile fittings, hand-beading, and final adjustments.
Do I need to supply my own fabrics?
No, K&A Couture provides premium imported silks, French laces, and luxury embellishments directly through our atelier suppliers. However, if you have a special heritage fabric, we are happy to work with it.
Where is the atelier located?
Our master atelier is based in Pretoria Central, South Africa. Consultations are strictly by private appointment to ensure full individual attention and privacy.
