Typically, it takes up to 6 months to order and receive a wedding dress. While there might be some deviation it is best to allow 6 to 8 months.

Our designers have a production time of 4-6 months, ordering earlier rather than later allows for production, shipping, and alterations.

You can find more info on our bridal Experiences here. We do request that you give us at least a week notice if you'd like to upgrade an existing appointment.

Question 11

What can I expect at my bridal appointment?

Accepted Answer

First, you will meet with your personal consultant who will work with you throughout your consultation. We will go over all the important details of your big day and the dress that you envision, and review any wedding dress inspiration you have saved. If you have booked an upgraded Bridal Experience, your champagne and treats will be ready for you .
 
Next are the gowns. Your consultant will go over more of what you're looking for in your perfect dress. They will pick up to five dresses for you to try on that will help narrow down design and silhouette. If you see a dress that catches your attention during this process, let us know and we will pull it and add it to the collection. If we need a couple more after the initial gowns, we will pull a couple more. Understandably, gown selection can seem overwhelming, which is why we ask that your guests sit, relax, and enjoy the process, while your consultant guides you in your choosing and narrowing of your selection. This makes the process much easier and less time consuming. 
 
When you have your top favorite dresses, we bring out the veils! This is the moment we also make sure that the tissues are nearby.
Not wearing a veil? No problem!
 
Finally, saying Yes to the Dress! Once you say "Yes!" we let you and your guests take photos and soak in the moment. Afterwards, we will take measurements and confirm details. A 50% deposit is required to finalize the transaction and place the order of the dress.

When the dress comes in, we call you to come in and try it on! Once the dress is paid in full, she is yours to take home, have altered, and have your dreams come true!
