We offer complimentary bridal appointments Tuesday through Friday. Saturday bridal appointments require a $30 booking fee. Please review our booking page for current appointment options, fees, and availability.

Our standard bridal appointments last approximately 90 minutes, giving you time to explore our collection, try on beautiful wedding gowns, and work one-on-one with your bridal stylist.

We welcome up to four guests in addition to the bride for a standard bridal appointment. We recommend bringing your closest supporters—those whose opinions you value and who will help make your experience enjoyable and memorable.
