FAQ
After the initial excitement of being engaged settles down, think about how you've always pictured yourself as a bride. Was it in a big, princess ball gown or a sexy sheath wedding dress, a dramatic bridal look or soft and natural? Then start doing your research. It is very important to have an actual wedding date and venue before shopping for your wedding gown.
Finding the Perfect Wedding Gown For You Require Research: We suggest that before you come in for your appointment at our South Jersey bridal boutique, you should do some homework. Visit Pinterest and create your Wedding Board, buy bridal magazines and tear out pictures (any and all) that you like. Also, check out wedding websites such as, www.theknot.com or wedding dress designers' websites, and save or print out bridal gown styles that you are considering. This will help give our bridal consultants an idea as to what your style is.
Determine Your Wedding Gown Budget: You have a lot to think about right now: ceremony, reception, flowers, music, invitations, etc. All of it equates to a certain portion of your total wedding budget. So, it is important to determine what your price range is for your bridal gown. We can definitely find a wedding dress that you will love that's within your price range. Just tell us your requirements and we'll do the rest.

We recommend that you order your Wedding Gown at least 8 - 10 months before your wedding. Most of our designers will make your wedding dress according to your specific order and work within this time frame. However, if you should need your gown in less than 8 months, we can accommodate you with most vendors as a "rush" order. We also suggest that you order your Headpiece & Veil with your gown so that all items can be tried on together for your first fitting.
Yes. Sizing for bridal attire tends to run much smaller than regular clothing. Most women need to go up at least a size or two to accommodate the smaller sizing of bridal dresses. We will take your measurements and determine your size according to a size chart provided by that particular bridal designer. We try to match your measurement as close as possible to the designers' standard size chart. Alterations can then be made, if necessary. Please keep in mind that wedding dresses can always be taken in, but not always let out. So it is important to trust our recommendations, as we are aware of how different styles vary with different vendors.
