 We recommend starting at least 12 months in advance. Our special order gowns typically take about 6-9 months to be made and shipped. After receiving your dress, the alterations process will take about 3 months. If you have less than 12 months, we can look at our off-the-rack collection or explore designer rush shipping options.

For the Mini and Classic Experiences, the appointment fee is credited toward your wedding dress purchase. For the Premier Experience, the fee enhances and customizes your appointment and is separate from the dress purchase. Fees for the Mini and Classic Experiences are refundable if you cancel your appointment with more than 24 hours’ notice.

Our in-store samples range from bridal sizes 8-40 (equivalent to everyday sizes 4-40). Bridal sizing varies by designer, so your stylist will help you choose the best size based on your measurements. YES, WE HAVE PLUS SIZE DRESSES! Lots of them to be exact! Our shop opened as a plus size only store in 2011, and while we’ve expanded our size range down so more brides can shop with us, our commitment to our curvy brides has not changed, and we boast one of the largest selections of plus size wedding gowns in the country!

Our wedding dresses range from $1,200 to $4000, with most priced between $1,500 and $2,400. We also have a selection of sample gowns available for off-the-rack purchase, ranging from $99 to $2,000. We do out best to have options in every budget range.

We accept cash, debit/credit cards, checks, or any combination of these. You can choose to pay in full or use our payment plan, which requires a 60% down payment to order your dress, with the remaining 40% split over the next 3 months and automatically withdrawn from your preferred card. A $50 administrative fee is included in the payment plan total.

Please Note: We offer the option to tip your bridal stylist at checkout. While tips are appreciated, they are never expected. Tip options are 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, or Other ($0.00).

We do! We have a spectacular in-house seamstress, and we have a list of preferred local seamstresses we trust and highly recommend. You are not obligated to use them, but we wholeheartedly endorse their services.
