We do our best to accommodate as many brides as possible! We offer sample sizes in 10-30! The majority of our samples are 12-24. Since our samples will not be an exact fit for most we will use clips, pins and modesty panels to show you how each dress will fit once it is your size! When its time to order we take bust, waist and hip measurements, then show you the designers size guide so you can pick the size that works best for you!
Bridal gowns often take 8-10 months to arrive once ordered, therefore we recommend shopping 10-12 months prior to your wedding date, sooner if you are planning to do bridal portraits before the wedding day.

We recommend that you let your stylist shop for you! Bringing in photos or saving dresses to your wishlist give your stylist a great starting point.

Your stylist may take just the bride to help her pull if that is the best way for you to find the one!
