Q: When should I buy my wedding gown?
A: 8-12 months before your wedding date is ideal to ensure a stress free timeline. If you are on a shorter timeline we have an off the rack section and rush options available. Wedding gowns are made to order and usually take 4-6 or more months to come in. Only off the rack options are available for weddings in 2 months or less.
Q: What should I bring to my appointment?
A: If you are wearing specific jewelry, accessories, shoes, etc that you already have please bring them to your appointment. Our gowns are high quality with built in bra cups and bras are typically not needed while trying them on. If you are planning on wearing shapewear or specific undergarments that will change the way the gown fits please bring those.
Q: What if a sample is not in my size?
A: Whether the gown is too big or too small, we have tricks and tools to show you how that gown would look in your best size!
Q: Will I need alterations?
A: Most brides need alterations. We take your measurements and order your best size based on the size chart and additional alterations are usually required.
Q: Do you require an appointment?
A: Appointments are highly recommended, especially on weekends. Walk-ins can often be accommodated on weekdays based on availability but usually not on weekends. We work one on one with customers and an available stylist is required to try on gowns.
Q: How many people can I bring to my appointment?
A: Less is more! To ensure the success of your appointment please limit your appointment to the loved ones needed to make your decision. Space is limited and larger groups of 4 or more are more easily accommodated on weekdays.
Q: How long are appointments?
A: Our bridal appointments last up to two hours. If you need additional time please book a weekday appointment and let us know.
