FAQs

Most wedding gowns take 5–6 months to arrive once ordered. The alteration process typically takes an additional 2 months. We highly recommend ordering your gown at least 8 months  before your wedding date to ensure everything is ready in time.

Our made-to-order gowns range from $1,300 up to $6,000, depending on the style, designer, and level of customization. Our average price for a wedding dress is $2,400.

Yes, appointments are required to try on our wedding gowns. This allows us to provide you and your party with a personalized, one-on-one experience in a private and comfortable setting.

You’re welcome to bring up to 4 guests to your bridal shopping appointment. If you plan to bring more, please let us know in advance so we can do our best to accommodate your group. Choose trusted guests who know you well and will support your vision. Great options include:

Your mom or mother figure

A sibling (sister or brother who understands your style)

Your best friend or maid of honor

A close aunt or grandmother

Your wedding planner (if you have one)

These are the people who will cheer you on, give honest (but kind) feedback, and help you feel confident during the process.

Wedding dress sizing often runs smaller than standard street sizing, especially for designer and couture gowns. It’s completely normal to wear a size or two (or more!) larger than your everyday clothing size.  Don’t stress — bridal sizing is just a number, and everybody is beautifully unique. What matters most is how the dress fits and feels, not the number on the tag. Our stylists will guide you through sizing and alterations to ensure a flawless fit.

When you go wedding dress shopping, it’s all about feeling comfortable while being able to really picture yourself on your big day. Wear nude, seamless underwear so nothing shows through the dresses, and bring a strapless bra if you have one—though many gowns have built-in support. You don’t need full glam, but a little light makeup and doing your hair in a way that feels like “you” can help when you’re trying to visualize the whole look.

Outfit-wise, go for something easy to change in and out of, like a loose dress or leggings and a comfy top. If you already have your wedding shoes (or know what kind of heels or flats you’ll wear), it’s smart to bring those too—it makes a big difference in how the dress falls and feels.

Mostly, wear what makes you feel good. You’ll be moving around, getting in and out of gowns, and standing in front of mirrors—so the goal is to feel relaxed and confident while you do it.

Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered!  You can absolutely still find your dream dress with us. We offer a selection of beautiful off-the-rack gowns, which means you'll be purchasing a sample gown that has been gently tried on and is in excellent condition.  In addition, some of our designers offer rush production or have select gowns available in ready-to-ship stock — perfect for shorter timelines.

Yes — a 50% deposit is required to place your gown order. The remaining balance will be due when your dress arrives in-store.

Our gowns range in price depending on the designer and level of customization.  Made-to-order gowns typically range from $1300 up to $6,000. Off-the-rack gowns and sample styles are available at lower price points. We’re happy to work within your budget to help you find a gown you love.

Additional appointments beyond the three standard fittings, and complex alterations will increase the total cost.

We recommend booking your alterations appointments at least 4 months before your wedding date to ensure plenty of time for perfecting your fit.  Typically, alterations require 3 appointments and usually begin about 2 months before your wedding day.

Please bring the following items to ensure the best fit:
