ABOUT YOUR APPOINTMENT
Yes! We want to serve you in the best way possible and give you the attention that you deserve.
Yes! As a general rule, you want to limit your guests to one or two people whose opinions mean most to you. Too many opinions can be very confusing.
We recommend up to 6 guests for a bridesmaids consultation. If you need to bring additional guests, please let us know when you make your appointment.
We recommend that you order your bridal gown at least 6 – 10 months before your wedding. Your bridesmaids gowns should be ordered at least 5-7 months before your wedding date. Once all bridesmaids have been measured for sizing, and paid their deposits, then the complete order is placed.
A bridal stylist will take bust, waist and hip measurements before determining a size. To ensure the best fit, we will likely ask you to try on our sample gowns. Bridal and Bridesmaids gowns are not custom ordered, but we recommend a size closest to each designer’s size chart. Alterations are almost always needed to adjust the gown to fit perfectly – which is always our goal!
Yes. Sizing for bridal attire tends to run much smaller than regular clothing. Most women need to go up at least a size or two to accommodate the smaller sizing of the bridal manufacturers. We take your measurements and determine your size according to a standard size chart provided by that particular designer. We try to match your measurements as close as possible. If necessary, alterations can then be made to ensure a perfect fit.
Yes, of course, after you have made your selection.
