 Appointments Required For Bridal, Pageant, Or Groom

Prom and Homecoming Walk-ins Are Welcome

  

BRIDAL IS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

 

  • Appointments 
  • Bridal-related shoppers (brides, flower girls, Groom, & Groomsmen) are REQUIRED to book appointments. A $50 non-refundable deposit will be charged to try on wedding dresses - the deposit will be applied when purchasing your dress!

 

  • Who should I bring?
  • We only allow up to 4 people with you during a standard appointment due to our seating area.

 

  • How much time will I have?
  • The length of the appointment is 1.5hr

 

  • Investment
  • Bridal Gowns start at $1200.00 and top off around $5000, with the average being between $ 1300-$ 1800.

    The average Shipping timeline for a wedding gown is 3 to 9 months, depending on a few variables.

 

  • What do you think I should bring to my appointment?

  • Proper undergarments. 

  • Please ask your bridal consultant or contact the store for more detailed information.
  • Hair ties & clips

    Not only are you going to want to sweep your hair out of your face so you can get a full view of the dresses you’ll be trying on, but pulling your hair up with a hair tie or clip will also help you envision your wedding day look if you choose to wear an updo.

  • Appropriate shoes
    Make sure you bring along proper footwear to try on with your dress. Already bought your wedding shoes? Great! If not, bring along shoes similar to the pair you’d like to wear on your wedding day (think heels vs. flats).

  • Your squad

    Make sure you bring along a few close family members and friends to help you “Say Yes”. Keep in mind, though, that less is definitely more—too many opinions from eager family members and friends can ultimately make your decision more challenging. You may bring up to 3 guests to your appointment.

  • A realistic budget

    Finally, come up with a relative idea of how much you’d like to spend on a dress. You should also include room in your budget for alterations, headpieces, a veil, and any jewelry.

  • Gown preservation

    We do gown preservation using the Wedding Gown Preservation Company.

DRESSING ROOM RULES

  • Please make sure hands are clean before handling Gowns, and be careful with make up and/or spray tans when dressing.
  • Only 6 gowns per Bride trying on are allowed.
  • No one in your party is allowed to grab or pull gowns, please see Bridal Consultant
  • ONLY bridal consultants are allowed to zip dresses. Please do not try to zip or lace yourself to preserve the quality of our gowns.
  • All gowns should be stepped into. Please do not attempt to put them over your head.
  • If you feel like a tight-fitted dress will not go past your hips, please ask the bridal consultant working with you if there would potentially be another size to try on. *This helps us keep zippers, hooks, and material intact so that we don't have damaged dresses for brides to try on!*
  • Absolutely NO dresses should be left on the floor.
  • Please do not ask moms, friends, boyfriends, etc., into the dressing room to help you.
  • If you have any other questions, please get in touch with the store for more detailed information.
