FAQs
What does buying out of our collection mean?
1
We sell dresses out of our collection, which means our brides will walk out of our boutique with her dream dress in hand! These are not sample dresses, these are brand new and the real deal! We carry sizes 2-36. You can take home your dress the same day you fall in love with it. Our inventory is constantly changing, therefore we can not provide catalogs.

How long does it take for a special order gown to arrive?
Different designers and manufacturers can vary on the shipping time, so in most cases we suggest allowing at least 8-10 months or more so brides receive their gown and can make alterations in time for the wedding day.

When should a bride make an appointment with the seamstress for her first appointment?
Our seamstresses prefer seeing the bride 2-3 months before her wedding for her first appointment. This insures that the seamstress will have plenty of time to make the necessary adjustments to the gown so that it is customized to fit the bride like a glove! This also ensures that rush fees can be avoided. Don't forget to bring your wedding shoes and all wedding undergarmets to your alterations appointment so that the seamstress can alter your hem.

Who should I bring?
Bring family and friends who's opinion you value the most and who will be crucial in helping you make a decision. Bring anyone whom you couldn't "say yes to the dress" without! This time should be reserved for adults and those 12 and older to insure that our attention can be focused on our brides.
