Appointments are required and made over the phone. We want you to have an exceptional experience in our store; therefore, we want to insure one of our bridal stylists will be readily available to assist you, regardless of the type of appointment you are booking.

Our rooms accommodate up to 4 additional guests. We do not recommend children under the age of 10 in the store unless the child is an infant and in a car seat or carrier for the duration of the appointment. With experience, it is less stressful and more beneficial to bring only those who will help you make this important decision. Once you find your dress, there is plenty of time to bring additional guests to any future appointments.
