WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY APPOINTMENT?

We recommend bringing any undergarments that you plan on wearing on your wedding day. Unsure what that looks like? A good strapless bra and seamless underwear are a great place to start. We have a small selection of high heels to wear while you’re trying on gowns (but only if you want!).

WHAT SIZES ARE YOUR SAMPLES?

Our gowns range in size from a bridal size 10-26. We work hard to be size inclusive and have a good amount of plus size offerings. All of our designers have a range in sizing that makes it possible for every bride to have her dream dress, no matter her size. Specific questions on sizing? Just give us a ring. We’re happy to help!

HOW MANY GUESTS CAN I BRING?

We welcome brides to bring up to four guests along with them as they shop (bride + four). Please note that all guests must be over the age of 18, though babies needing to be bottle or breastfed are welcome. Our shop just isn’t set up for tiny people :)

Looking to bring more guests with you? Please select the add on option for up to two more guests when booking your appointment. A small fee will be incurred by bringing more than four guests.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I CAN’T MAKE IT TO MY APPOINTMENT?

We totally understand - stuff happens… schedules change, family members get sick - heck, even you get sick! Just give us a call and let us know if you won’t be able to make your appointment so we can open that time slot for another bride. **Please do note that appointments cancelled less than 24 hours in advance will be charged a small cancellation fee of $75. That goes for if you just don’t show up.

Why? Well, each week we have a list of brides who are on a wait list to come see us and when we have less than 24 hours notice (or no notice at all) that you won’t be able to make it to your appointment, we have a lesser chance of getting one of those other brides in your time slot. We so appreciate your cooperation with this policy. Don’t worry, when you make your appointment, we’ll remind you of how this works so you know the routine :)
