DO I NEED AN APPOINTMENT?

We are open by appointment only. You can make an appointment via phone or email. See our contact page for more info.

​

HOW LONG IS MY APPOINTMENT?

Your appointment will last 90 minutes from the scheduled time of your appointment. If you are late, you do not get extra time. We only run one appointment at a time for your maximum enjoyment and leisure. Because of this, we need time in between appointments to reset, straighten and prepare for our next appointment. Please be considerate. 

 

Please also do not arrive early. As mentioned above, we only accommodate one party at a time. Arriving early will be inconsiderate of the previous party's experience. 

​

WHEN SHOULD I ORDER MY GOWN?

It's best to order your gown 10-14 months prior to your wedding day. The bridal gowns are made to order and take 4-6 months to produce. When factoring in alteration time it can take up to 14 months to have your gown in-hand and fitting perfectly for the big day. That said, we do accommodate rush requests whenever possible. Please let us know if you have a tight timeline before your wedding and we’ll guide you to collections that we can order quickly. Rush fees may apply.

​

We do not recommend shopping more than 16 months ahead of your wedding day, as many designers will most likely come out with new lines in this amount of time and you will not have the opportunity to experience the freshest styles on the market.

​

WILL I NEED ALTERATIONS?

The dress is ordered in as close to your size as possible, but in most cases a wedding gown will need alterations to give you the perfect, tailored fit.

​

DO YOU DO ALTERATIONS IN HOUSE?

We do not offer in-house alteration services. We are happy to provide a list of expert seamstresses that do excellent work.

​

WHAT SAMPLE SIZES DO YOU CARRY?

Sample gowns range from size 6 to 14. We do our best to buy average sizing to be able to fit as many women as possible. Many of the designers offer sizing up to size 24 – 28, but not all of them.

​

WHAT IS THE PRICE RANGE OF YOUR GOWNS?

The gowns start at $2,200 and top out at $7,000. On average the gowns range between $2,800 and $3,600.

​

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING? DO I NEED SPECIAL UNDERGARMENTS?

Not really! If you wish, bring a nude strapless bra and wear light or nude undergarments. You may also wish to bring a pair of heels that will be similar to the ones you will wear on the big day.

​

DO YOU ALLOW FOOD AND BEVERAGES?

Champagne is welcome as long as it's white. Red, rose, other drinks (including coffee and smoothies) and food are not permitted. Our shop is full of white dresses, please use common sense and be considerate.

​

WHAT IS A TRUNK SHOW?

A trunk show is a special event when our boutique features a specific designer’s entire or latest collection for a limited time. Often the designer attends in person, and sometimes lucky brides can be eligible for discounts! To visit a trunk show, please browse our events page to see all of the upcoming trunk shows. 

​

IS YOUR BOUTIQUE WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE?

Yes, our boutique is wheelchair accessible. Please make a special request prior to the appointment so we can ensure everyone's comfort during the appointment.

​

IS THERE PARKING NEARBY?

Metered parking is available on all surrounding streets.
