Do I need an appointment to see your gowns?
Yes, we recommend scheduling an appointment to ensure you have dedicated time with one of our expert bridal consultants. This allows us to provide the personalized attention you deserve while you shop in our beautiful, expanded space. Walk-ins are welcome if fitting rooms are available, but appointments help us give you the full Bridely experience!
-
Booking Fee & Cancellation Policy
Bridal Appointments & second look appointments do not require a charge for booking, however we ask that you please reschedule or cancel at least 48 hours before the beginning of your appointment or you may be charged a $50 cancellation fee.
-
What is the price range of your gowns?
Our wedding dresses will start at $1,200 and go up from there! The majority of our gowns range from $1,500 - $2,500, the remaining gowns go up to less then $3,000. If you have a short timeline we usually can find Special Order dresses in stock or you can always shop from our collection dresses and take them home the same day!
-
When should I book my appointment?
We do have a few designer’s who carry stock pieces if they have your perfect dress in stock in your size, that could make it possible to get your dress right away! Other designers we carry in our boutique make your dress according to your size & customizations. If purchasing from any of our customizable, sustainable “slow fashion” designers, we recommend booking an appointment 8-10 months before your wedding day. Purchasing your dress any later than 6 months before may leave you subject to rush fees, which vary by designer. Don't have a date set? No problem! As long as you're planning for the allotted time mentioned above, you really can't get your gown too early!
-
What sizes do you carry?
We do our best to accommodate as many beautiful body types as possible! Our sample sizes vary, we have designers who will make your dress to your measurements, so they can make a wide variety of sizes! Most come in sizes 00-34. Our Vanya Couture designer is local and will make dresses in all sizes.
-
How can I prepare for my appointment?
To make the most of your bridal appointment, here are a few tips:
Wear or bring proper undergarments: Nude and strapless options work best for trying on gowns.
Limit your group: Bring a few trusted loved ones whose opinions matter most to you.
Bring inspiration: Feel free to bring photos or screenshots of styles you love to share with your consultant.
Set a budget: Have an idea of your budget, including any wiggle room for alterations or accessories.
Stay open-minded: Sometimes, the dress you least expect might be the one!
Most importantly, come ready to relax and enjoy the experience—we’re here to guide you every step of the way!
-
How many of my loved ones can I bring with me to my appointment?
We recommend bringing up to 5 guests for your appointment, as our seating comfortably accommodates this number. If you’d like to bring more than 6 guests, please call us ahead of time so we can work with you to find a time that best suits your group. This ensures we can provide the most comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
-
Where do I park?
Parking is available in the back parking lot of our boutique. Once parked, we kindly ask that you use the front entrance at Douglas and Hillside to enter the building.
If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to give us a call—we’re here to help!
-
Is your shop kid friendly?
To ensure every bride enjoys a relaxed and focused experience, we kindly ask that children under the age of 12 (with the exception of infants who can remain in a carrier or held) not be brought to appointments. Our newly expanded space is thoughtfully designed for comfort and elegance, allowing brides and their guests to fully immerse themselves in this special moment. This policy helps us maintain the serene and elevated atmosphere that all our brides deserve.
-
Do you provide alterations?
We suggest you plan on at the least $500 for alterations, remember you will most likely need a bustle for your dress as well! We do not provide alterations but we would be happy to suggest a local alteration shop, feel free to ask!
-
What is a Trunk Show?
A host designer currently carried or new to Bridely sends an extended assortment of their collection to be viewed and ordered by you! These are usually an assortment of dresses we don’t currently offer in the store! So if you are interested in a particular designer and you see we have a trunk show coming for that designer, that is the best time to schedule an appointment. Schedule even if you are not ready to buy, because you may not have an opportunity to try the items in the trunk show again!
-
Say “I Do” Sale
Once a year we have a sale and drastically mark down our collection! We usually provide a block of times on specific day or days for you to book an appointment! You do not want to miss this, as you get to buy any dress in the store at a drastically reduced rate and take it home that day! So plan on saying I do to one of our gorgeous dresses and save yourself some $$
