Tuxedo, prom, & semi-formals DO NOT require appointments!
Do you offer special financing?
No.
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer special financing in the form of in-store credit or layaway. However, we do offer payment options for qualifying special orders.
What sizes do you carry?
In-store samples typically range in size from 4 to 40, allowing customers to try on a variety of gowns in different styles. However, for special orders, gowns can be custom-ordered in sizes ranging from 0 to 40, ensuring a broader range of fit options. This flexibility allows customers to select the perfect size for their specific needs, with special order gowns offering a wider selection beyond the in-store sample sizes.
Tuxedos: We order our tuxedos in according to measurements taken in-store & having coordinating samples to try-on before ordering.
My wedding is in less than 5 months, what do I do?
We are very familiar with working with brides who have a quick timeline, so rest assured you still have lots of options when it comes to finding your dream dress.
Any of our in-store dresses can be purchased off-the-rack & select styles can even be ordered with quick shipping & delivery. There are many options for you, so talk with your consultant about your preferred method, we are prepared to help!
How much do your dresses cost?
With so many different types of dresses, our prices vary a lot!
Prom dresses typically run between $299-$599, while wedding dresses can be expected to run between $1000-$2250. Of course, there are outliers on either spectrum as well as discounts & sales throughout the year to give you the best bang for your buck!
Do brides really say yes to the dress at their first appointment?
Yes!
Most brides say yes to one of the first 8 dresses they try on! We find that our brides leave their bridal appointment feeling accomplished & confident in their decision to say yes on their first visit.
I'm looking for a wedding dress on budget, do you have any options for me?
Yes!
Between off-the-rack discounts and sales throughout the year we are happy to accommodate any budget.
Do you carry your tuxedos in-store?
No.
Our tuxedos are ordered prior to your event & shipped to us from our tuxedo retailer. Same-week event shipping is available, but style options may be limited & additional charges apply.
Are there any discounts for ordering my wedding tuxes from you?
Yes!
Every 6th wedding tux ordered you will receive the groom's tux free.

No.
We do not take individual payments from each groomsman in your bridal party, it is the bride & groom's responsibility to collect money from their groomsmen if needed.

Your rental is good for an entire week! The Tuesday before your event - the Tuesday following your event. For events where you may need your rental longer, we offer different rental options to accommodate you!
Do I need an appointment to shop prom?
No!
Prom appointments are NOT required & we welcome you to come shop anytime during our operating hours!
How much do prom dresses cost?
Our prom dresses run anywhere from $299-$599, of course, some dresses will fall outside of that range. We do have a line of semi-formal dresses that are more budget-friendly!
How do I know you carry a certain style of dress?
We try our best to carry the "IT" dresses each season, however; it is not realistic to carry every dress from every designer. If you see a style online that you love call to see if we carry it, if we don't, we are happy to look up similar styles or see if we can order it for you!
When should I start shopping for my wedding dress?
Now!
Earlier is always better. Our average brides shops 7-12 months before her wedding.
Typically, we expect wedding dresses to take between 16-24 weeks from time of ordering to arrival in our store. Of course, wedding dresses can be bought off-the-rack if our shipping times do not work for your wedding timeline.
Do brides really find "the dress" on their first visit?
Yes!
It is not uncommon for brides to fall in love with a dress on their first visit to the store. In fact, we find that brides who opt for booking appointments one shop at a time are usually less overwhelmed & more confident in their choice by the time it's all said & done!
