Frequently Asked Questions
We ask that you try to schedule your appointment at least two weeks in advance, with weekends being our busiest time. We are a boutique, so remember that we have limited space. When it comes to bringing family and friends along, we believe less is more, especially when it comes to opinions. Bring those whose opinions really matter most; mom, sister, or maid of honor. Bring some ideas with you too. Pictures always help!
You’ll arrive and park in one of the two parking lots available; find the something blue (building) in the village. Once you and your guests are all ready to get started your own personal stylist will take you to your fitting room and show your guests their seats. This is an excellent time to share your photos and vision with your stylist! Your stylist will select styles for you! All you have to do is relax, while our trained stylists do all the work! Today is about you!
Of course, take as many as needed! We want you to document and remember your entire planning experience.
We recommend a bride begin her search at least a year in advance, and orders her gown between 8-12 months before the wedding date. Some gown designers can take up to 4 to 7 months to arrive, depending on how much handwork goes into the gown. We also recommend ordering bridesmaid dresses about 6-8 months in advance, as bridesmaid dresses can take anywhere from 3-6 months to come in. This ensures you have enough time for alterations.
Our dresses range from $1000-$2,500, but the average is around $1,500-$2,000. We also specialize in customized bridal gowns, and can start designing the dress of your dreams at your appointment. Those costs can vary from designer to designer. Our bridesmaid dresses range from $175-$275, but we offer group discounts!
How a dress fits depends on the manufacturer and their size chart, which may run small. Our bridal samples range between sizes 8-26. We do have custom fits available to fit any bride’s needs! Bridesmaid samples range from size 6 to 36, but the majority of the dresses range from 10-18.

No. Most items are special orders, so once ordered they are not returnable or able to be cancelled. All off rack items are "as is", and not returnable.
