Choosing your Bridal Shop

You deserve to have expert, personalized attention to every detail of your bridal attire. Therefore, it is wise to do business with a reputable, full service bridal retailer.

Things to look for when selecting your bridal shop:

• Reputation: Ask friends for referrals.


• Cleanliness: Is the store clean with bridal gowns in protective covers?


• Courteous service: Are the bridal consultants ready with a pleasing smile and professional advice to help you select the perfect dress?


• Ordering policy: Be sure your gown can be special ordered in your size and color preference. If buying a gown from the rack, be sure the gown is in perfect condition and will be altered properly.



• Alterations: Be sure professional, qualified seamstresses are available to alter your gown. Realize that even the most perfect gown will not be perfect if alterations are not done properly. Be willing to pay for these expert alterations. Qualified seamstresses are hard to find and worth every bit of their time!


• Accessories: These are the finishing touches. You’ll want the headpiece that was handmade to match your gown, the gloves in the matching color, beautiful bridal shoes, and gorgeous bridal jewelry.

Here are some questions you may want to ask:

• Will my gown be custom ordered?



• How long will it take for my gown to come in?


• Will you store my gown free of charge until my wedding,
  and professionally hand press it before it is to be
  picked up?


• How long will it take to order my bridesmaids dresses?


• Are expert alterations available? How much should
  I expect to pay for this service?

This is such a beautiful time in your life. Although planning a wedding can be stressful, picking out your wedding dress should be fun! Bring along someone whose opinion you trust, but remember the choice is yours! Consider the professional advice of the staff to help you in finding
that perfect dress and respect their knowledge. Don't be afraid to ask for help in selecting the perfect coordinating bridesmaid's dresses and all your accessories. Have fun, relax and enjoy!
