fashion timeline
This is our expert guideline for your wedding attire!
Your expert stylist will give you personalized lead-time guidance once you join us for an appointment, but if you have yet to come in or if you want to be sure to stay on track, please reference the checklist below!
□ Book your Bridal Appointment
□ Decide on your dress budget! Keep in mind that this number shouldn't include accessories and alterations.
□ Shop for and buy your dress (Pro-tip: There's no such thing as shopping too early, but there is such a thing as shopping too late! Shopping late can often incur additional rush fees or deem some styles unavailable to order.)
□ Schedule and attend your Mother of the Wedding Appointment. Moms tend to wait to shop, as other wedding tasks can take priority, but we want to make sure she has her first choice in style & color!
□ Ordering your Mother of the Wedding dress(es) in this timeframe ensures a comfortable shipping window and leaves room for alterations.
□ Schedule and attend your Little White Dress Appointment. Our Stylists are here to help you curate your entire wedding wardrobe with our collection of minis, midis, and maxis, perfect for all of your wedding events!
□ Ordering your Little White Dress(es) in this timeframe ensures a comfortable shipping window and leaves room for alterations.
□ Research and select a seamstress to do your bridal alterations. We have a list of seamstresses we recommend if you need one, just ask!
□ Book your alterations appointments with your seamstress, and provide them the ETA our ordering department sent you!
□ Have Mothers secure a seamstress for their alterations.
□ Book a Finishing Touches appointment to try on and pick up your dress, with time to shop for any last-minute accessories. Here is our Appointment Request Form!
□ Accessories, especially when customized, can take around 4 months to arrive. If any of your accessories (example: a lace topper) may need alterations, it's always best to schedule this shopping appointment sooner than later.
□ Schedule a time to pick up your Little White Dress or any Finishing Touches that have arrived to the salon. You can request a Pick-Up Appointment here!
□ Have your first fitting with your seamstress! Be sure to let them know in advance which items you are bringing with you to be altered.
□ Have your second fitting with your seamstress.
□ Have mothers begin their alterations.
□ Have your final fitting with your seamstress and schedule your pick up appointment.
□ Mom has their final fitting with their seamstress and schedules a pick up appointment.
□ Bring your gown back to us for gown cleaning & preservation! We offer a variety of packages based on your needs. Request a time to drop off your items with our Appointment Request Form, and a team member will follow up with more information about our packages and process!
