Yes, but within reason. We allow champagne at the appointment, but it is not permitted on the main floor with all the gowns. Our store does not allow food or juice to mix with champagne. We ask that only clear liquids with a tight-fitting lid be brought in.
We carry a wide range of prom/homecoming/special occasion gowns that are all off the rack, and all sales are final when purchasing.
Our orderable bridal gowns start around $1000 and can go up to about $9,000. We also have bridal gowns you can purchase off the rack that starts around $400 and go up from there.
You are allowed six guests with you when you are here for your bridal or bridesmaid appointment. We cannot allow more than six guests on Saturdays and Sundays due to our space limit for each of our salespeople.
Preferably you should purchase your accessories when you select your wedding gown. Our accessories take approximately 12-16 weeks, though in some cases, rush fees are available for earlier delivery times.
A trunk show is where we feature a designer’s new collection that is not in stores yet. Typically, these new gowns will only be in our store for a weekend, Friday through Sunday. Then they are shipped back out to another store for the following weekend. In some cases, brides get the privilege of working closely with the designer, making your experience even more unforgettable.
A Premier Bridesmaid appointment is only available on Monday and Thursday nights at 6:00 pm. You can bring in more than six guests and do a bridal gown reveal with your whole party.
