Yes, standard bridal styling appointments are $30, premium bridal appointments are $150, and VIP bridal appointments are $500. The fee is non-refundable if you cancel your appointment for any reason within 48 hours of the appointment.

$30 of the appointment fee may be applied as a credit toward a same-day dress purchase.

Only the fee paid for the final appointment may be applied if you purchase the same day as the appointment.

We kindly advise that you do not bring children to your appointment unless they will be well-supervised by another adult.

Yes. Please note if you cancel within 48 hours of the appointment, your $30 standard appointment fee, $150 premium appointment fee, or $500 VIP appointment fee will not be refunded, regardless of the reason for cancellation. "No shows" or parties more than 20 minutes late (who will be considered a “no show”) will not receive a refund for the fee.

As is industry standard, alterations are not included in the price of our wedding dresses. Each bride requires a unique set of alterations for her gown and the costs vary depending on the amount of work needed to perfectly tailor the gown to her frame. Our standard alterations are usually between $1,400 to $2,000.

Yes! You don't have to go anywhere else. We have an incredible team of seamstresses who have experience with minor to extensive wedding dress alterations. We work hand-in-hand with them to create a seamless experience from start to finish. We also offer steaming services to ensure your dress looks picture perfect on the wedding day! Please budget $1,400 to $2,000 for wedding dress alterations.

We recommend wearing skin-toned underwear to avoid the possibility of having it show through the dresses. You may wear a strapless bra during your appointment, although most brides choose to go braless while trying on the gowns.

All of our private bridal suites have a pedestal you can stand on, so heels are not needed.

We provide still, sparkling, and flavored water options for all our appointments. Premium appointments include premium refreshments, and VIP appointments include premium refreshments and an array of snacks. You may bring other beverages or foods, but we ask that you not bring dark colored drinks or messy foods that could stain our dresses.

To provide enough time for your gown to arrive from the designer and have it altered, we recommend purchasing your dress at least 8 months before the wedding. Rush options are available for many wedding dresses, but they come with a fee. If your wedding is less than 8 months away, give us a call and we can discuss alternative options such as rush pricing and timelines for made-to-order dresses, as well as off-the-rack sample dresses.

In the bridal world, we order dresses based on our designers' size charts. Wedding dresses tend to run smaller than street size clothing. For example, a bridal size 10 is roughly equivalent to a street size 6/8 and a bridal size 20 is about a street size 16/18.  

The majority of our off the rack sample dresses (our discounted sample section) are a bridal size 10, which is a street size 6-8. These gowns can be altered to fit brides who are a size 4 and sometimes a size 10. We have a smaller selection of mid-size and plus-size sample dresses.

Our made to order gowns work differently such that they are ordered brand new based on the bride’s size (we can accommodate street sizes 00-18 for our made to order gowns).

While we do not sell bridesmaid dresses, but we do sell little white dresses for bridal occasions.

There is metered parking in front of the store on Hawthorn Street.
