We recommend looking at our Designers page to get an idea of what styles and details you prefer. This will help our consultants guide you through our store and help you make your selections. However, don’t be afraid to keep an open mind! Many of our brides have unexpectedly fallen in love with a wedding dress they didn’t originally think they would like! If you have a specific wedding dress or designer you would like to see, let your consultant know. We also have a wonderful, more extensive guide available on our blog if you wish to learn more!

We recommend limiting your party to a small team of 5 (plus the bride) or less who will be supportive and whose opinion you value the most. With large entourages, it can be hard to remember your own opinion with so many others in the mix! If you feel ready, visit our Make an Appointment page to schedule!

Timelines for alterations vary between different seamstresses depending on what is needed for your wedding dress. The cost of alterations is not included in the purchase of your wedding dress. The cost for alterations does vary as well depending on what you need done. We recommend beginning alterations 3 months out from your wedding day. For alterations appointments, you will need to bring the shoes you plan to wear as well as any undergarments you will be wearing on your wedding day. If you have any questions regarding alterations, please feel free to give us a call and one of our expert bridal stylists can help answer your questions!

A wedding dress can take as long as 6 months to arrive. You should also allow time for alterations, so it's a good idea to start searching 9-12 months prior to your wedding. If you are less than 9 months out, don't panic! Some of our dresses can still ship within this window, and we have an excellent selection of "Take Me Home Today" gowns available too!
