Wedding Dress FAQs

A:  We recommend starting to shop about 12-15 months out from your wedding. This will allow you ample time to make a decision!

A: We recommend ordering your bridal gown 9 to 12 months prior to your wedding date. Most of our designers take 3-6 months in production.  Brides should allot 2-3 months for gown alterations to be completed. This timing gives brides ample time to select any accessories they may want, as well as bridesmaids dresses for their bridal party. The bridal gown can set the tone for many other aspects of the wedding, and selecting a gown early in the planning process ensures a seamless aesthetic.

A: The majority of our wedding dresses fall between $1500 - $4000.  We have a small selection of styles by Jenny Yoo & Stella York in the $1,200-$1500 range.  Our couture designers range in price from $3000-$8,000, and are mostly customizable.

A: We have inventory ranging from bridal sizes 6-30 (street size 4-24),  We are able to order any bridal gown in bridal sizes 2-24, and several styles in 26-34. In general we usually just have one size per dress, though sometimes we will have a dress in both plus and straight sizes.

A:  A bridal gown order requires a 60% deposit to order which is non-refundable. The remaining 40% balance is due within 60 days of the gown’s arrival in our shop.

A:  We do not have an alterations specialist on staff, but have a list of several talented people locally that many of our brides choose to use.  We are happy to store your wedding gown, free of charge, until you are ready to begin alterations.  If you work with one of the local seamstresses, they will arrange for a gown pick-up with us before your first appointment with them.
