Important information for brides to be

Wedding season is well underway! For those of you that are marrying before the end of September, having your dress order underway is a must. If you haven't chosen one yet, don't despair! We have several options available for tight time frames.

First, you are most welcome to purchase a gown off the rack. We have all sizes, styles, and colors available for immediate purchase.

If you happen to fall in love with a gown that is not your size or color, we can "rush" order one for you. Be prepared for a rush fee imposed by the designer that can run anywhere from $50 to $250.

While we're on the subject of extra fees, let's talk about some of the fees that commonly occur with bridal gown orders:

1. PLUS SIZES. Many designers charge an extra fee if your gown is a bridal size 18 or larger. This fee can be anywhere from $25 - $300, depending on the designer.

2. SPECIAL LENGTHS. While we do carry designers that do not charge for a custom length, there are a few that do.

3. CUSTOM CHANGES . Let's say that you love the dress, but you want it without the beading....or a longer train....or a sweetheart neckline...if the designer is able to accomodate your request, they will most often charge for it. I know that it doesn't sound like a big deal to change minor things about a dress, but to a wedding dress designer, it's a big deal. They are creating a new pattern for your specific dress, and that takes time and expertise.

Every designer has their own set of policies when it comes to custom work, and all of them are different. If you have any questions, we are delighted to answer them for you!

Happy Shopping!

Design Inspirations!



Having trouble putting your ideas into focus?! The gals at Style Me Pretty have you covered! I've chosen just a few of their many user-generated inspiration boards to help you put your visions into reality.

A very popular theme for 2011 is "Vintage Glam". This first inspiration board brings you the romantic, glamourous, and gorgeous style of years past. The feathers are a great textural touch! This bride chose muted tones of alabaster, peony, and antique ivory.

Our next board highlights a very fresh take on otherwise traditional colors....yellow and lavendar. The two colors together are unexpected, yet subtle. The result is funky, fun, and gorgeous!
