We do not charge a booking fee for our Signature Appointment but we do for any upgraded experiences! The Signature appointment is the a $50 cancellation fee if you cancel your appointment less the 48-hours before the start time!

The VIB, Beloved Experience and Sip & Say YES appointment types have a paid booking fee due at the time of scheduling! 

Depending on the appointment type you selected bridal appointments are either 1.5 or 2 hours! See our appointment page to see our services and book your appointment.

After you have decided on budget, start browsing our bridal gowns! If we have it on our website we do have it in-store! We also have multiple private label lines you won't find photos of on our wedding dress page!

We recommend taking screenshots or notating 4-5 styles you would like to try on when you come in for your appointment! 

Bring only your nearest and dearest, you need only a few opinions - those that you value most! We are pros at taking pictures and helping with video chat for those you may want to show once you’ve narrowed down your favorites or found the one! For our Signature appointments you can bring up to 4 guests in addition to the Bride. For our upgraded appointments you can bring up to 6 guests!

**Our upgraded fitting room only allows a maximum of 6 guests + the Bride**

We want to give you the complete vision! Bring anything you plan to wear on your big day. This can include; undergarments, shoes, sentimental accessories or anything else that will play a factor in picking your gown! If you don’t have your wedding shoes yet, bring something similar in height to what you plan to wear!

Our gowns range in price from $1800-$7500 with the majority of them being between $2000 and $5000. If you have questions about a specific designers price range, please click the designers page or contact us.

We are unable to give out exact pricing over the phone or via email but we can give you a ballpark if you inquire! 

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!

You should be ready to buy your wedding dress when you attend any bridal appointment (you never know when you'll find the one), especially if you are within your ideal shopping timeline, being prepared to move forward helps keep everything on schedule.

Bridal gowns often take 8-10 months to arrive once ordered, therefore we recommend shopping 9-12 months prior to your wedding date, sooner if you are planning to do bridal portraits before the wedding day. We do have a variety of options to order gowns on a shorter time frame depending on the designer. Waiting is the hardest part but we promise, its worth it!

We recommend that you let your stylist shop for you! In order to protect our collection for the bride that may be taking a sample home one day, we ask that your party doesn't look through the inventory! 

Bringing in photos or saving dresses to your wishlist give your stylist a great starting point. Your stylist trained to listen to your feedback and pull more gowns based on your likes and dislikes. We are also highly attuned to cues and want to make sure that we aren't circling back to things you have ruled out + we pay special attention to make sure that we are respecting your budget when selecting gowns! 

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

Yes! Almost ever bridal gown requires alterations. Most brides need at the very least a hem and bustle in addition to any fit adjustments. When ordering, your stylist will take measurements and provide you with all the inofmeation you need to make the sizing decision. We aim to set you up for the best alterations starting point as possible. We do not offer in house alterations.

Any items purhcased at Dearly Beloved Bridal Boutique are final sale. Gowns and accessories are made to order, once the order is placed we are unable to offer any refunds, exchanges or cancellations.

There’s no perfect number of wedding dresses you need to try on before saying yes. Some brides find their dress in just a few tries, while others need a bit more time. On average, most brides try on between five and ten gowns. What matters most is how you feel in the dress, not how many you’ve tried.

Yes! This deposit secures your gown and allows the boutique to place the order with the designer. Because dresses are often made to order, they are not typically held without a commitment.

We give you the option to pay in-full or a deposit - we have no preference as long as the gown is paid in-full before it leaves our store! 

**You do have to fully pay the balance due if there is one in order to pick up your wedding dress, we also ask that you pick up your gown within 7-days of being notified of its arrival!**

No, you don’t need to visit multiple bridal boutiques to find your wedding dress. Many brides find their dress at the first or second store they visit. What matters most is the experience, the selection, and how you feel in the gown—not how many stores you go to.

Decision fatigue is real and social media has told us we need to shop shop shop before saying yes, we actually recommend the opposite! We have hundreds of bridal gowns, our large inventory allows us to show you all of the style options so you can see everything in one place!
