Q: How far in advance should I start shopping for a gown?
A: We recommend coming in as early as you can, and here’s why: You are the star of the show! Your guests will have come from far and wide to see the bride. No guest leaves without seeing the bride. The dress is one of the elements that provide direction for the entire wedding, and if you choose a gown early on in your journey, it will help everything else fall into place. The dress may even influence which venue you choose.
While some weddings take place within a few weeks, the average engagement lasts six months. We will meet any deadline you have—and help you customize your look for the most important day in your life.
Q: When is the best time to schedule my appointment?
A: If you want a quieter, more personalized experience, try to schedule an appointment during the day, Monday through Thursday. These are our quietest times in the store, and we are able to offer our brides as much attention as they need.
If you choose to visit us on the weekends— We really can’t stress this enough make an appointment. We can do a better job when we are expecting you!
Also, tell us how many people you are bringing along so we can better accommodate your fitting area. We recommend bringing your two most trusted friends or relatives to help you make the decision. Of course, we understand if you want to bring more—just let us know.
Our bridal appointments are 90 minutes long, and our store has flexible hours to meet every schedule.
Finally, it is important to note that almost every wedding dress will have to be altered.
Q: If I just want to look around, do I need to book an appointment with a stylist?
A: We highly recommend making an appointment. For most brides, this is the single biggest purchase they’ve made in their lives so far. We want to ensure you have all the support you need to make that decision, and an appointment helps us to provide you with the best possible service.
Q: I am the kind of person who likes to shop alone. Can I come in by myself?
A: Of course! Shopping for a bridal gown is just like your wedding—it is all about you and should reflect your personality. Some brides like to bring their friends and others like to go shopping by themselves, especially if they already have a clear idea of what they want.
We help many brides who choose to shop by themselves.
Our wedding dress styles are offered in sizes 0 – 30.
Q: There are so many brides out there—can I really expect to find a dress that’s unique to me?
A: Your dress will be unique because you are unique, and it will suit you in every way—your inspiration, your style, your personality.
Another way to customize the look of your gown is with accessories.
Q: Will my appointment be like the shows I see on TV?
A: Let’s be real—TV is for entertainment, and those shows play up the drama for ratings. Our store experience is different, as it is focused solely on helping you find your dream dress!
