 Other Helpful Tips

·         We accept both appointments and walk-ins!

·         We do not limit your time, but we find an hour to an hour and a half to be typical

·         Have a rough budget in mind. If you are on a tight budget, we do not advise trying on gowns out of your price range. But do keep in mind that we do have layaway and other payment options

·         Be open-minded to styles! You never know until you try it on... and sometimes even the “no’s” are fun to try

·         Consider limiting the size of your entourage. We are happy to accommodate large parties, but sometimes too many opinions can make the decision difficult

·         Don’t even LOOK at the size of the dress. Bridal runs small, so you can’t base it off of your typical dress or pant size. Trust your consultant and only worry about how it fits your body

·         Please wear underwear when trying on. We advise nude undergarments, and slick fabric usually works best with gown linings. A strapless or no-show bra is also a good idea

·         Please bring any accessories that you know you want to wear –shoes, jewelry, a relative’s veil, a hair tie (in case you want to see your hair in an updo), etc.
