WHY MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?
Sure, you can come in and look around. But in our bridal boutique, we believe this is a special time, and you need to feel that! We want you to have the personalized attention you deserve from one of our stylists, who can help you find the wedding gown that fits your budget and your body. More than 80% of our brides make appointments, so we don’t want you to have to wait!
NO KIDS AT THE APPOINTMENT, PLEASE!
This is about you! We have kids, so we know. But it's time for you and your friends to celebrate. We know it's a family event, but kids can take that focus away. We also don’t want others to complain about your family.
For these reasons, we don't allow children younger than 12 in the boutique. We don’t carry girls dresses, so please make other arrangements for your kids. Come in, relax and enjoy this special time!
WHICH DO I NEED? A BRIDAL APPOINTMENT OR A VIRTUAL APPOINTMENT?
Is there a difference? Yes. Is your wedding a year or more away but you’re not ready to buy? We know how excited you are and that you want to try on dresses and see what looks best on you.
At Virtual Appointments, you will work with a personal stylist and see 6 different silhouettes that we can show you in our shop. You can invite in as many people as you like to wander virtually through our shop and see dresses we’ve pre-selected to show you. This is a great introduction and helps keep all of us safe.
Then, when you’re ready to start narrowing down your dress, we’ll schedule your bridal appointment with your stylist. We’ll keep the notes of what silhouettes you liked, you can try on more and pick “the one.”
EVENING APPOINTMENTS?
We now offer exclusive appointments to brides on Tuesdays. Our last appointment for the day is at 6 p.m. To request an appointment time, call us at 318-0411 or see our availability here.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY APPOINTMENT?
We'll have someone helping you get dressed - these gowns aren't like putting on a sun dress! They can be heavy and many have ties and buttons that you need help with. One of our team will help you into the dress. So, come in any way you'd like, and come in wearing whatever you don't mind your consultant seeing!
WHAT HAPPENS AT MY APPOINTMENT?
semi private seating areas
We'll have you talk to one of our team about what you see yourself walking down the aisle in, the theme or feeling you want from your wedding and reception, how you want others to see you and styles you like. Then your consultant will pick out several styles and dresses for you. She'll help you get into the dresses in your private dressing room and you can show your family or friends what you've found in our semi-private viewing areas, which seat 3 guests, plus the bride. If you'd like a more intimate experience, we have a private viewing area, which seats up to 6, plus the bride. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable, special, and we'll do our best to make this shopping a memorable experience.
OTHER DETAILS
PARKING: Park in front of the store (near Verizon and across from Total Wine) on the west side of Louisiana.
KIDS: We ask you to not bring your kids into the shop because that complicates matters. We have kids, so we know. You can't sit and relax if you or someone else is running after them. At our wedding salon, we want to focus on you alone.
WHO SHOULD I BRING?: It's hard making an emotion decision in front of a crowd. Bring those whose opinion you value and who haven't steered you wrong in what you're wearing. If you have too many opinions, then you're going to hurt someone's feeling when you don't pick their favorite. It should be a time for celebration, so bring those who will keep you upbeat and let you know how beautiful you really are.
OUR PRIVATE ROOM
private appointments
Seats up to 6, plus the bride.
Sharing this special time of finding the wedding gown is an emotional one. We have a private viewing area (your dressing room is always private!) that can seat up to 6 friends and family. We rent it in 2 hour increments and give you a place to celebrate.
WHAT ABOUT COMING IN SEVERAL TIMES TO TRY ON A DRESS…
That’s fine, but we limit brides to 2 weekend appointments, and then you can make additional ones during the week. We do this because we fill up so frequently on the weekends. It’s not fair to the other brides to keep taking up times when they’d like to bring their guests, too.
