Shopping for a wedding gown is different than any other shopping experience. Bridal gown boutiques are not in the ready-to-wear industry (which includes stores such as Macy’s, Gap, and Target). Bridal gown boutiques offer couture merchandise which the average shopper may not be familiar with. Please take a few moments to aquaint yourself with the following questions you may have about shopping for a gown.

How far in advance should I order my wedding gown?
You should order your dress 8 to 12 months prior to your wedding. Delivery can take up to 16 weeks. HOWEVER, many designers offer rush shipping for an additional fee. Another option is to purchase a gown off the floor.
Is it important to have my measurements professionally taken at a bridal shop?
Bridal professionals are trained to take accurate measurements and have the ability to analyze those measurements to suggest the most appropriate size. It is ideal to have your measurements taken at the store where you will be purchasing your gown, but any bridal boutique is fine.
When should I start thinking about tuxedos?
Then men of the bridal party need the same attention as the women. It’s always best, and easiest to order your Tuxedo’s when you place your order for Bridesmaid gowns. This way, you have cohesive styles and get it all done and out of the way.
Why is there only one size available in each gown style?
Bridal Shops keep sample gowns in stock, these are gowns in average sizes to give you an idea of what is available. In most cases, a new gown will need to be ordered in the correct size and color. Bridal Shops are also able to order more gowns than they keep in stock. Bridal Collections are too expensive and include too many gowns for Bridal Shops to own all of them. If you have a question about a gown not in stock, please ask!
Why does my gown not fit me perfectly?
Every bride should anticipate that a seamstresses services may be needed to provide the final adjustments to her gown which will give her individuality of a custom fit.
