5-8 months ahead of the wedding date! This is the industry recommendation for Mom to have all style and color options at their fingertips and eliminate stress around rushed alterations. Even if you are planning on your body changing, shopping in this timeframe is best. 

Mother of the Bride/Groom gowns can take months to arrive, but we will always check and see if there are options available for anyone shopping on a tighter timeline.

Yes, however your party is required to schedule their appointment by phone with the salon directly. Each client will be scheduled for their own appointment to ensure personalized service, so keep in mind that one client will shop at a time in their suite.

If planning to shop with another Mom in the wedding, please keep in mind that the guest limit for your appointment allows for 2 additional guests total.

We only require underwear to be worn on your bottom half, and the rest is up to you! If you plan on wearing shapewear or a bra on the wedding day, please bring those items with you. A robe will be waiting for you in your suite upon arrival to stay cozy during your stay.

We cater to every level of modesty, so please don’t hesitate to ask your Stylist if you’d like to borrow a freshly laundered slip or longline strapless bra for more coverage.

As a full-service salon, clients seek out Madeleine’s Daughter because they wish to be styled by an expert for this special event.

If the Mom in your life has an open mind and wants the guidance of a Stylist, we are a perfect fit!

If you are intentionally shopping for a specific style, please inquire about its availability with the salon ahead of scheduling your appointment.
