1. I’m getting married! How soon should I start looking for my wedding gown?
Answer: We recommend you start searching for your perfect gown at least one year before the wedding. Once you have found what you are looking for, we recommend you order it at least six months before the wedding.

Answer: Yes! They should compliment the style of dress you have chosen as your
wedding gown.
[back to top] 3. What should I wear when I go shopping for my wedding gown?
Answer: We recommend you wear a white bra, white hoisery, white shoes, make-up, clean body and hair. This will give you a better idea of what the dress will look like on you, the day of your wedding. Remember- you wear the dress, the dress does not wear you.
[back to top] 4. How many people should I bring with me?
Answer: We recommend you bring two people. Preferably a close friend or family member.
[back to top] 5. I plan on losing weight before my wedding. Should I order a smaller size?
Answer: No. Lose the weight during the first six months of your search. By the time you order your gown you will be closer to your goal weight thus avoiding the need to have extensive alterations done if you do not lose as much as you would have liked to.
[back to top] 6. Are alterations included?
Answer: No. If alterations are necessary, we will supply you with contact information of a reliable and affordable seamstress.
[back to top] 7. I am a plus size. Can you help me find a dress that looks great?
Answer: Our store carries dresses in sizes 4 to 30. Dresses in a size larger than 30 are custom ordered to your measurements. All of our plus sizes are ordered to reflect the current styles that will look great on any sized bride.
[back to top] 8. How much money is required upon ordering my dress/gown?
Answer: To place your wedding gown order we require a 50% down payment with the remaining balance due upon delivery in store.
[back to top] 9. Can you help me with veils?
Answer: Yes! We carry veils and tiaras. We can also have a custom tiara with an attached veil designed for you by a local artist.
