What should I wear to my bridal appointment & how long are bridal appointments?

We suggest wearing nude undergarments for the best try-on experience. While not required, light makeup and styled hair can help you better envision your wedding day look. Bridal appointments are reserved for two hours. While that time frame allows for a relaxed and focused experience, there is no rush if you need a little extra time. Our priority is that you feel confident, celebrated, and unrushed during your visit.

Do I need an appointment to try on gowns & who should I bring to my appointment?

Yes — appointments are recommended to ensure one-on-one attention with a bridal consultant. Bring your biggest cheerleaders — the friends and family who know you best and will offer loving, constructive feedback. Keep in mind that more opinions aren’t always better. A smaller, supportive group often creates the most positive experience.

What types of gowns & designers do you carry?

We offer a thoughtfully curated collection of budget-friendly gowns in sizes 0–30. Our styles include timeless, modern, romantic, and classic silhouettes. All gowns in our boutique are priced at $1,700 or below, with an average price of $900. Each piece is selected to help you express your unique story and style. We proudly carry: • Stella Couture • Moonlight Bridal • Calla Blanche • Le Perla • Justin Alexander • Lillian West • Sydney’s Closet

Do you offer sizing guidance and alterations & can I place special orders?

Yes. Our consultants provide expert sizing recommendations and guide you through the alterations process to ensure your gown fits beautifully. While alterations are not completed in-house, we are happy to connect you with our trusted tailoring partner. Yes. Select gowns and accessories are available for special order.
