Do I need to make an appointment?

~ Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome. When you set an appointment, we have time to set up the showroom to fit the amount of guest you will be bringing. We always celebrate with you and your guest when you find your perfect dress. Upgraded packages available with prepaid nonrefundable deposit. If we know ahead of time it helps us get the wine, champagne, or sparkling juice ready. (yes, you can bring your own)

What should I bring with me?

~ If you plan on walking barefoot on the beach or wearing 6" heals, don't forget to bring them or something close so that you can judge how the dress will fall to the floor. If you know you want to wear specific undergarments, please bring those with you. 

Who should I bring with me?

~ We know it’s the most important dress you’ll ever wear, and you want to make sure it’s absolutely perfect. But having 10 different opinions makes it much harder to come to a consensus, and it can bring you farther away from what you actually want. Most brides do best with just their mom and maybe a sister or best friend, they generally have the bride's best interest at heart and not just what they want the bride to wear. "To many cooks in the kitchen" Girls will often bring their entourage back for their dress choice reveal.

Should I do my hair and makeup?

~ A lot of brides feel self-conscious since they are the one on parade. I do recommend throwing your hair up or down similar to how you may want to wear it. If you feel better with light makeup on or none, than feel free to do so. When I personally try on clothes, I always feel better about myself when I have makeup on and my hair slightly fixed. Be aware that self-tanner can stain and ruin dresses, we appreciate if you wait to spray till after your consultation.

How long before my wedding do I shop for my dress?

~ We do have dresses that you can buy off the rack. Most of our dresses can be made to fit any size by our design house. We can also order you almost anything or have one custom made to be the perfect dress. Some dresses have a quick turnaround time while others that are hand beaded can take three months so remember this when you order. All gowns are non-refundable once purchased.

Do you sell Bridesmaid Dresses?

Our New Brand is Shades of Sunset! All new Popular Designs in any color!

~ Yes!... in a variety of colors, style, and materials to fit all budges and sizes of your bridesmaids. Most bridesmaid dresses range from 165-275. We also carry Flower girls, Little Divas, Mother of the brides, Prom gowns, Junior bridesmaids, Receptions gowns and more!

How long do gowns take to come in?

~ How exciting that you said yes to your dream dress and it is being handmade just for you! Typically from the designing, fabrication and beading gowns can take 4-8 weeks Style Depending.

Can I custom create my gown?

~ YES! We are very different than other stores. We can combine elements, fabrics and shapes to design your perfect dress. 

Will I need Alterations?

~ Don’t be worried that your dress needs altering! It’s a totally normal part of the process, and you’ll be so thrilled when you put on a gown perfectly tailored for you. A Seamstress can work wonders to make your gown truly yours. All formal wear needs a little something. Typically, a Bussle, hem length or a strap raise is usually needed for the perfect fit. Alterations are not included in the price of the dress, but we work with amazing seamstresses and can give you recommendations.
