We want your experience with us to be as spectacular as the wedding gown you’ll find, here are a few pointers to help you shop like a pro at your bridal appointment.
Short answer: Yes!
We are by appointment so that we can give each bride our undivided attention. Click HERE to book your appointment.
10 to 12 months before your wedding
For a stress-free timeline, plan on ordering your dress 10 to 12 months prior to your wedding date. Your dress is made-to-order and can take up to 6 to 8 months to produce, plus 2 to 3 months for tailoring. There are rush options if your wedding is sooner, but rush fees do apply and vary based on designer and timeline.
3 or less is the way to go.
You need only a few opinions that truly matter and you don’t want to add confusion. Our stylists are very good at finding you a perfect dress and want you to be ready to both try and buy. We specialize in facilitating video chats with your loved ones if they can’t physically be present in the shop.
If you have a larger group, we recommend booking a VIP appointment so you can include everyone!
We have a third-party tailer that comes into our shop that you can use. You are also welcome to use your own trusted seamstress.
Any cancellation within 24 hours of initial booking will be charged a cancellation fee.
Yes, we charge an appointment fee.
Due to the tailored service you get from a dedicated stylist and the delicate nature of our gowns, our shops charge a service fee for our one-on-one Bridal Appointments. This appointment type is for when you are ready to get serious about us and saying “yes” to the one. In full transparency, you will see the charge noted on the appointment type before you book.
We do our best to accommodate as many beautiful body types as possible with our sample dresses.
For this reason, the majority of our samples are sizes 10 – 14 and we have a selection of sample gowns in sizes 14 – 26. Since our samples will not be an exact fit for most, we use clips and modesty panels. This will give you the vision of how our dresses will fit when they are tailored to you.
Before you book your appointment, start with your wish list! Visit our designer collections and note the styles you like and save 5 – 10 of your favorite gowns. You can email this list before hand or show them to your stylist at your appointment. This will help us get started in the selection process. Your stylist may also have additional recommendations that you will love.
Hard yes! Every wedding dress needs alterations.
When ordering, your personal stylist will guide you through choosing a size on the designer’s size chart that’s closest to you – setting you up for the best starting point possible for alterations. Remember that a stress-free timeline for alterations is 2 to 3 months.
Definitely!
Most wedding parties rent tuxes. Some grooms like to purchase their own special tux. We can help with both.
