Why do you charge a cancellation fee for your bridal appointments?

It has sadly become a necessary evil. The fee stops brides from simply not showing up. If someone decides to just not show up - we can not rebook that appointment slot, so a potential sale is lost and there will never be a chance to get that time back. You can absolutely avoid this fee by cancelling your appointment a head of time. The no show/ cancellation fee is $45.

Do you still accept wedding gowns for Consignment?

NO, WE DO NOT.

We stopped accepting gowns for consignment March 1st, 2022.

We do still sell gowns off the rack, however, we do not take used or unused wedding dresses to Consign in our store anymore!

We made the switch this year to only sell new Designer gowns that are on trend and fashion forward. Sample gowns can be purchased off the rack & taken home the same day if needed for brides with a short timeline.

How much time do I need when ordering my wedding gown?

We recommend shopping at least 10-12 months before your wedding date. Most wedding gowns take approximately 6-8 months to arrive once you order it. Some designers offer a rush option that allows customers to receive their dress faster. Rush fees are an additional fee added to the over all cost of the gown.

If you need a wedding gown in 6 months or less there are still options for you! For example, some designers carry stock in their warehouse that can arrive much faster if your size & style is available. You can also buy a wedding gown off the rack. "Off the Rack" means you are purchasing a sample gown that has been tried on in store .

*not all gowns are available to purchase off the rack.*

*off the rack gowns may need to be cleaned and/or repaired, our local cleaners & seamstresses can help.*

No matter how fast your wedding is approaching there is still a perfect wedding gown waiting for you!

How far in advance do I need to start alterations?

We suggest that you set up your first appointment with a seamstress about 3-4 months before your wedding!

At your alterations appointments, be sure to have all of your undergarments with you, such as a bra, shape-wear & shoes - all will affect the fit of your gown and your seamstress may ask you to bring those items before starting alterations.

Keep in mind that you will have at least 3 appointments with a seamstress before your wedding day.

We recommend reviewing our Alterations page for more information on our preferred seamstresses.
