What should I wear to my bridal appointment?

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.

How long are bridal appointments?

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?

Yes — appointments are recommended to ensure one-on-one attention with a bridal consultant. We offer: • Standard Bridal Appointments • Bridal Re-Try Appointments • Private & After-Hours Experiences A credit card is required to reserve your appointment but will only be charged in the event of a no-show. We kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. You may call, text, email, or direct message us to adjust your appointment. Saturdays: Appointments are required. Tuesday–Friday: Appointments are strongly encouraged but not required.

Who should I bring to my appointment?

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 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.

What designers do you carry?

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?

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.

Can I place special orders?

Yes. Select gowns and accessories are available for special order. During your appointment, your stylist will walk you through timelines, customization options, and ordering details.

Do you offer private or after-hours appointments?

Yes — we offer exclusive private and after-hours experiences for brides wanting a more intimate celebration. The private appointment fee is $150 and includes: • Charcuterie snack board • Sparkling juice • Refreshments • Dedicated, uninterrupted styling time Availability is limited, so early scheduling is encouraged.

When should I start dress shopping?

The sooner, the better — especially if your timeline allows. While many of our gowns are sold off-the-rack, some designers require 3–4 months for production. Additionally, most seamstresses request at least 2 months before your wedding date for alterations. Starting early gives you the most options and the least stress.

"The collective was absolutely wonderful, I went there on a whim not really expecting to find a dress (my wedding is still over a year out, I was just trying to get an idea of sizing)tried on my first dress and absolutely fell in love. Lindsey was my consultant and she has been incredible!! Cannot recommend them enough, the staff is so friendly and it's such a welcoming environment!! 🫶🏻"
