Bridal Gown Shopping Tips & Appointment Etiquette

We recommend shopping for bridal your gown a full year in advance of your wedding date (with a minimum timeframe of 8 months). This allows enough time for your gown to be ordered, made, and delivered, and for fittings and alterations. If you don’t have 8 months, don’t worry be happy, there are lots of other options:

  • A rush order costs a little extra ($150), but brings your gown in sooner.
  • Order from what’s in stock at our designers’ warehouses.
  • Buy from our in-store sample sale collection.

Brides can bring up to 3 guests on Saturday. If you’d like to bring more, please book an appointment during the week.

Bare feet are not permitted, please bring socks or slippers, and let your guests know to do the same. We do provide slip on slides as well.

Please wear undergarments and you may want to bring a shoe (high heel, etc.) similar to what you’ll be wearing on your wedding day.

Appointments are 90 minutes each.

Bridesmaid Dress Shopping Tips & Appointment Etiquette

We recommend shopping for bridesmaid dresses 4 to 5 months in advance of your wedding date. This allows enough time for your dresses to be ordered, made, and delivered, and for fittings and alterations.

Please arrange for your entire bridal party to come together to your bridesmaid dresses appointment.

And a very gracious reminder that most importantly it’s about what the bride wants.
