Step One: Try on Appointment

As soon as your gown arrives, we will schedule you for a TRY ON appointment. This appointment is 30 minutes long and offered Tuesday-Saturday.

What to Expect During your Try-On:

• We retake your measurements

• You’ll try on your gown for the first time

• Any remaining gown balance is due at this time.

• We discuss the alterations timeline and process.

Guest Policy:

You may bring up to 2 guests (3 total including the bride)
If you need more guests with you, please call to check on availability. Saturday appointments are strict on 2 guests max.

Accessories & Veils:

If you'd like to try accessories during this visit, please inquire in advance. Depending on availability, we may be able to include this, or we may schedule a separate Accessory Appointment to give you dedicated time and attention.

Step Two: Alterations

Alterations appointments are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis and can be scheduled once the gown balance has been paid in full.

Alterations Timeline: 

Your first fitting typically begins 8 weeks before your wedding date (or your “leave by” date if travelling)

Alterations Appointment Days: 

Alterations take place on Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday. 

Alterations Pricing: 

Alterations can range from $400-$1300, depending on: 

• The complexity of your gown
• The amount of tailoring needed
• Any additional customization requests

If you are concerned about cost or would like a clearer estimate, we highly recommend scheduling an Alterations Consultation, if time allows.

Bridal Elegance cannot provide quotes directly.
Consultations must be scheduled through BE, and consultation fees may apply.
