Frequently Asked Questions - Advice


We like to have at least 5 months to make your gown and schedule your fittings. However, brides who give us more time will have more flexibility and opportunities with fitting schedules (Saturday appointments book up quickly). More importantly, the more time you give us, the more time you will give yourself to plan all of the creative details of your wedding. We can usually accommodate rush orders. Orders taken with under 5 months time may incur a 10%

We can ship your gown to any residential or business address within the United States. Your gown will be carefully packaged and fully insured using United Parcel Service. We will also include instructions on proper care for your wedding dress.

Additional fees apply for shipping and handling.

We do not collect California sales tax for brides getting married outside of the state of California.

Our in-house production team allows us great flexibiltiy with rush orders. A salon visit is imperative to review styles of interest and explore fabric and schedule availability as well as rush fees. We will try to accomodate your rush order, however rush fees (10% - 25%) may apply depending on the timing of your order, our current production schedule, and fabric availability.

Sample sale gowns are a wonderful option when time is limited. We typically have 6-12 gowns available 'as is' on our sample sale rack starting as low as $800. Please visit our salon to view the current selection.

Selecting the perfect wedding gown is uniquely individual to each bride. It is often helpful to get advice and input from close friends and family, but the ultimate decision is for you, the bride. Your gown will fit you beautifully with our custom made to measure process, so the next concern should be how you feel in your gown. Take some time to envision yourself on your wedding day. Think about how you want to feel that day and the specific look that you want to capture. Your wedding location will weigh into your decision as well: A romantic, ethereal wedding dress is ideal for a beach setting while a dramatic and regal bridal gown is perfect for a formal cathedral event. Ultimately, it's your day... listen to your heart.

Our custom made to measure process is ideal for pregnant brides. Depending on your specific needs, we will recommend appropriate styles and schedule your fittings based on your wedding date as well as your due date.
