Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT DOES A WEDDING DRESS PURCHASE PROCESS LOOK LIKE?

Once you arrive for your pre-determined appointment, you’ll be introduced to your bridal stylist and given a tour of our store – get ready to experience a serious wedding gown wonderland! During this tour we’ll want to get to know you, your engagement story, your personal style, and what your priorities are for your wedding-day bridal gown vision. Together with your stylist, you’ll select gowns to try and conversations will be had about what you like and don’t like for each style. This communication helps your stylist collaborate with you in finding the one gown that gives all the feels. Once you find the perfect wedding dress, your stylist will then assist you with trying and selecting bridal accessories to complete your signature look.

HOW LONG DO WEDDING DRESSES TAKE TO ARRIVE AFTER THEY ARE ORDERED?

Your wedding venue and your bridal gown are two of the most influential pieces in creating the overall look and feel of your big day – they add the flavor that truly reflects you and your fiancé’s style. Securing your location and finding that dream dress should be first on your list of To Do’s – this will help fine-tune your vision and guide the many additional decisions that come with creating such a memorable celebration. With this in mind, we recommend beginning the wedding dress shopping experience no less than one year prior to your wedding date. Not only will this set the tone for your other wedding elements, it will help you avoid rush fees and general bridal dress stress. We do understand that you may be working within a shorter time frame – we got you – please call and we can discuss options on how to make your dream a reality.
