Finding your dream dress is such an exciting part of planning your wedding! After saying "yes" to your dress, you may be wondering what to expect next. If you purchased your gown with us, find more info below:
ONCE YOUR DRESS ARRIVES
Once we receive your dress, we will contact you to schedule a "Gown Viewing" appointment. At this appointment, you will be able to try on YOUR dress for the first time! Please note: this is not a first fitting appointment with the seamstress.
If you're still searching for your wedding day accessories, this is the perfect time to try them on with your gown and order them!
Due to limited storage, we are unable to store your gown until your alterations begin. Please make arrangements to take your gown with you before your Gown Viewing appointment.
ALTERATIONS - WHAT TO EXPECT
We understand how important it is for your gown to fit perfectly for your big day. That’s why we proudly recommend seamstresses who have extensive experience working with our gowns and are well-versed in the fit, structure, and detail of our designers.
Our Recommended Seamstress
Marilda
📞 954-383-9568
We suggest reaching out to her at least two months prior to your wedding date to ensure enough time for fittings and any desired customizations.
