Areti's salon is in Lozenets, Sofia (63 Krum Popov St) and carries over 100 wedding and bridal dresses on site — original Demetrios styles across 5 silhouettes and 4 collections. You can try on an unlimited number of gowns by appointment, and all alterations are done in our in-house atelier.

Accepted Answer

We carry over 100 dresses in 5 silhouettes: A-line, mermaid, ball gown, column and boho. Each is available in various fabrics including lace, tulle, silk and satin.

Question 4

When should I start looking for a wedding dress?

Accepted Answer

We recommend starting 8–12 months before the wedding. Custom orders from Demetrios take 3–4 months, plus 1–2 months for alterations. For urgent timelines, we have in-stock dresses that can be altered within 2–3 weeks.

Question 5

Do you offer affordable wedding dresses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cosmobella starts from €1,000, and Destination Romance from €1,200. We also run seasonal sales on previous-season styles. All dresses are original Demetrios with a quality guarantee.

Question 6

What does a fitting appointment include?

Accepted Answer

A 60–90 minute session with a personal stylist who selects gowns based on your figure and preferences. You can try an unlimited number of dresses. The appointment is free and by reservation.

Question 7

Can I order a dress not in the showroom?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As the official Demetrios representative in Bulgaria, we can order any current-season style. Delivery takes 3–4 months. We show you the full catalogue and fabric swatches in the salon.

Question 8

Do you offer alterations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our in-house seamstress Keti specializes in bridal alterations. One free alteration is included with every dress. Turnaround is 1–2 weeks.

Question 9

How many dresses can I try on?

Accepted Answer

There's no limit. Our stylist pre-selects 5–8 gowns based on your preferences, but you can add more. Most brides try 6–10 before making their choice.

Question 10

Do you rent wedding dresses?

Accepted Answer

Areti sells original Demetrios wedding dresses rather than renting. We believe the dress for your most important day should be yours alone — tailored to your figure and kept as a keepsake. For brides on a tighter budget, our Cosmobella collection starts from €1,000, and seasonal sales on previous-season styles often work out cheaper than renting.
