FAQ
Something Blue Studio, Commercial Quay, Wexford, Y35 TD65
What are your opening times?
We open every
Friday, Saturday, Sunday : 10.30 am - 5.30 pm
We think this allows the most flexibility for everyone to pay a visit outside of working times.
Occasionally we do take annual leave and this is always highlighted on our socials and Google listing in advance.
Do I need an appointment to shop in general?
No, you can simply drop by for general shopping during opening times but please do bear in mind that pre-booked appointments will take priority and every day can be a little different!
Being a destination boutique a lot of our clients travel some distance and we really don’t want anyone having a wasted journey so please reach out and we can guide you better closer to the time. Friday’s are always most flexible for a browse.
You do need an appointment for bridesmaid dresses whether it be a solo or group visit and these can be booked via our website.
You can also select the ‘Styling Appointment’ option from our booking suite if you are looking for a little bridal pamper time to get some inspiration and ideas.
All of our appointments include Prosecco and treats including redeemable options.
What can I expect to find in store?
Primarily we specialise in Bridesmaid dresses and are Ireland’s leading stockist of Six Stories.
Alongside this we have a beautiful intimate studio space with a personal curation of unique wedding accessories.
Our offerings include veils, fedora’s and headwear for both brides and guests.
We also have a stunning range of hand selected and small batch statement jewellery for those of you who love something a little more exclusive and authentic.
You can also find unique bridal footwear options as well as stylish clutch bags, wedding jackets and some little white dresses too!
There’s also lots of cute little wedding finds dotted around so if you’re a bit of a magpie then we think you might appreciate the vibe!
Do I need an appointment for Bridesmaid Dresses?
Yes, while you might like to drop by to see the range in more detail at anytime you do need a pre-booked appointment to try dresses in store.
Appointments usually last from 60 - 80 minutes in total and can be booked directly via our website where you can see our full availability.
Weekend appointments tend to fill up fast so it is advisable where possible to book well in advance.
If your preferred time or date is not available you may opt in to our cancellation list for updates or if you have a specific booking request you are very welcome to reach out to us for a custom party request:

What can I expect from my Bridesmaid appointment?
Our vibe is relaxed and friendly where we encourage everyone to feel their very best by paying close attention to individual needs.
If you are considering a particular colour or a little undecided on a few we normally start there as it’s best practice for you to get an initial visual guide to begin.
This can include comparison of fabrics and colours to get that choice right for you which will also determine what styles you can then choose from.
The beauty of the range is that everyone can select from a variety of styles as they wish to mix and match which can be then ordered in colour of choice, literally Bridesmaid shopping made simple!
We aim to give a little individual attention to everyone throughout the process and we welcome any concerns or considerations you would like to share in order for us guide you to finding your best fit!
What Six Stories samples do you carry in store?
We currently have approximately 120 Satin samples to try in store which are spread out across the range in a variety of styles, sizes and colours.
This can mean trying your preferred style in various colour options to find your perfect fit.
We also stock approx 40 Crepe samples in almond, sage, blue, and pink.
We do not stock any Chiffon samples at present
All styles range from size 6 to 18, with limited options then available up to size 24.
What about new colours and launches throughout the year?
If new styles and colours are launched throughout the year it is important to know that often this can mean that we already have these styles and sizes already among our samples to try in store but just not in the newly released colour yet.
We will always have colour swatches and a handful of new samples available for you to compare shades and fabrics on hand as well as being well informed to guide you as accurately as possible.
What is the price range?
Our styles range from €175 - €195
Our prices are slightly higher to reflect Irish Vat rates but that also means no hidden added import charges when purchasing directly so can often work out the same.
Quality control is a core part of the service we provide and an added benefit to the process we follow for our special clients.
Trying in store with us also presents a much better opportunity to try all the styles without the guesswork and returns involved.
What are the lead times?
Lead times vary depending on style, colour, and seasonal demand.
We recommend booking 4–12 months in advance of your wedding date.
What do I need to know about placing an order?
Many clients choose to secure their order on the day of their appointment as it's always exciting to get another task ticked off that list!
We offer a 1-week buffer period afterwards just in case there is anything you would like to revise. During this time we can make adjustments to colour, style, or size once you reach out to let us know.
If you are not ready to decide on the day that's no problem, you can take your time to consider options knowing we have taken notes from your appointment to make the process easier when you are ready to proceed.
You can simply email us when you are ready: hello@somethingbluestudio.ie
Once your order arrives into us it is fully checked and steamed in advance of making it's way out to you. We can ship to your preferred address or to individual bridesmaids for an additional shipping charge.
We can also ship directly from Six Stories to any international address for those who are abroad.
We can not stress enough that if anyone is in doubt with sizing to always size up as there are always options down the line with a little more but never less!
With the option of trying samples in store along with the added security of the buffer period after orders are placed returns are not something we encounter often.
It is vital that any issues arising with your order are reported directly to us by email within 10 days of arriving as afterwards we can not accept responsibility for garments in circulation outside our control.
We can only discuss order details with the person who placed the original order.
Do you offer alterations in store?
We don’t offer in-house alterations as many clients travel from multiple destinations.
We can however offer our expert advice based on your selections while in store and will be glad to go through options with you in person.
The alterations required can often be minimal so in many cases you don't need a specialist just a reputable seamstress.
Timing for alterations in our opinion is always best 4-8 weeks before the wedding and make sure to bring along your shoes and undergarments.
