(This post is your go‑to guide for all things Winter Open Days, refreshed whenever a new date is announced.)
What’s New: Our next and final Winter Open Day is happening on Saturday, 30th August and we’re shaking things up with a VIP-only spin. Say goodbye to walk-ins: this time, entry is strictly by VIP pass appointment, and only via the Calendly link below.

How These Open Days Normally Work
Previously, our Winter Open Days were relaxed, walk-in affairs—no appointments needed, just pop in between 9 am and 3 pm, try on up to three dresses (first-come-first-serve), soak up boutique vibes in Durban, enjoy vendor pop-ups, and maybe book a follow-up appointment.
Now for the Extra Magic
This time around, we’re doing things differently and fabulously so:
VIP-Only Experience
- You must have a VIP pass to attend.
- Book your slot via our Calendly link (https://calendly.com/melizamary/30min).
- Only seven exclusive spots remain at this point, and once they’re all gone, they’re gone.
What’s on Offer
- A curated selection of our best dresses, including gorgeous Maryke designs, plus international designs, because at Meliza Mary, we believe in keeping things fresh and fabulous.
- You’ll get 20 minutes in-studio for your appointment, with a 10-minute buffer between slots, like bridal speed-dating, but still loads of fun.
- In your session, you’ll try on three dresses, with the boutique all to yourself.
I’ll Be Your Guide
- The owner, Meliza is an image consultant, fashion designer, and your personal stylist for those 20 fabulous minutes.
- We’ll make every second count to help you envision and own your bridal look.
Details to Note
We accept card, cash, or EFT on the spot so you can say “yes” and make it yours immediately. Please arrive 15 minutes before your slot so everything stays on track, appointments will be cut short if you’re late. Dresses are sold first-come, first-served, and each design is unique—if you love it, you’ll want to secure it fast.
The Perks You Don’t Want to Miss
- This Open Day will be done by (free!) appointment only! Booking is essential.
- Book a private appointment in-store and unlock a special rate
- Final Winter Giveaway: open to anyone who attends any of the five Winter Open Days (even non-brides!)
