Frequently Asked Questions

We always suggest starting to look for your gown 10-12 months in advance, with ordering a minimum of 8 months out. This is because gowns can take 3-6 months to come in, and another 2-3 months for alterations!

Yes, appointments are required. Each bridal appointment is designated a 90-minute time allotment with a personal stylist in one of our private bridal suites. 

We will accommodate walk-ins if time and labor allows. If not, we are happy to set up an appointment for a future date and time!

Our bridal gowns start at $1,500 and reach about $3,000. Our custom designer, Chantel Lauren, starts at $4,000. Prices may be lower due to special promotions, such as a sample sale or trunk show, or higher depending on customizations. Each designer has their price range listed on their page!

Our store will have bridal sizes that range from sizes 6-26. Depending on the designer, we will be able to order down to a 0 and up to a 34. 

Remember that bridal sizing is not necessarily true to American standard sizing. This is due to most of the designers creating their size charts according to international scales. Don't let this be a discouragement, we just want to make you aware of this!

We are able to accommodate seven people, including the bride, in our suites comfortably. Our gowns are delicate in nature and, although we love kids, we do not permit anyone under the age of 10 and ask that children in attendance are on their best behavior during appointments!

We suggest bringing a few things to your appointment!

1. The undergarments that make you feel the most comfortable - nude underwear (required), shape wear, or even a nude/strapless bra. 

2. A shoe that is around the heel height of what you are planning to wear on your wedding day.

3. The people whose opinions matter to you most!

Consider this to be a "lagniappe" of our store! Champagne is included with every bridal appointment!

For all layaways or special orders we require 60% down at the time of purchase. The rest will be due at time of pick-up. Everything must be paid before merchandise can leave the store!

We are able to take cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover cards. Unfortunately, we do not accept American Express.

We are conveniently located at the bottom of the old Kyle Hotel in Downtown Temple. We are easily right off of the I-35 corridor, about 60 minutes north of Downtown Austin and just about 40 minutes south of Waco.

A trunk show is a special event where dresses that we normally do not carry are in store for a limited time! This usually makes a purchase from one of these events more exclusive to the surrounding area and usually also involves a special promotion!

A $50 fee is applied to the form of payment on file if a cancellation is made within 48 hours of the appointment time booked.
