Q: How far in advance should I start shopping for a wedding dress?

Q: When is the best time to schedule my appointment?

A: If you want a quieter experience, try to schedule an appointment during the day, Monday through Thursday. These are our quietest times in the stores, and we are able to offer our brides as much attention as they need.

If you choose to visit us on the weekends—I really can’t stress this enough—make an appointment. We can do a better job when we are expecting you!

Also, tell us how many people you are bringing along so we can better accommodate your fitting area. We recommend bringing your two most trusted friends or relatives to help you make the decision. Of course, we understand if you want to bring more—just let us know.

Our bridal appointments are 60 minutes long, and our stores have flexible hours to meet every schedule.

BOOK APPOINTMENT

Q: If I just want to look around, do I need to book an appointment with a stylist?

Q: I am the kind of person who likes to shop alone. Can I come in by myself?

Q: I’ve heard that bridal shops often don’t carry a large range of sizes. If I like a dress I’ve seen online, should I order it, or is there a way I can try it on in the store?
