Are the gowns on your website everything you carry?
No. Since we carry so many different designers, styles, and colors, it would be impossible to have every gown shown on our website. We recommend visiting our shop and seeing our full selection.

We can order sizes that range from 4 to 26.
Back To Top
Do you have bridal gowns in women's sizes?

Do you carry destination wedding gowns?
We have an informal department that has gowns made in lighter weight fabrics. These gowns are designed to be more appropriate and suitable for destination weddings.

Train lengths in this department will vary from no train to sweep and chapel length trains.

Are all the bridal gowns new?
All gowns ordered from manufacturers are brand new and never worn. Gowns that are purchased out-of-stock are samples that have been on the selling floor.

Do you provide alterations?
Our in-house alterations department can custom fit any merchandise that is purchased under the full service contract. Charges are based on the work that needs to be completed. For other specific questions regarding alterations, please contact store for further details.

When should I start my alterations?
We suggest starting alterations 2 to 3 months before you wedding or sooner if possible.
Back To Top
How many fittings will I need?
Most brides need three fittings, but depending on the style of the gown and your figure type, you may need additional fittings.
Back To Top
When should I start an order? How long will it take until my bridal gown and bridesmaid dresses are in?
Wedding gowns can take anywhere from 4 to 6 months to arrive from the manufacturers after the order has been placed. Bridesmaid dresses typically take 3 to 4 months. If you have a wedding that is approaching soon, many of our sample gowns can be sold off-the-rack. Call us regarding shipping questions.

How do I choose a color for my bridesmaid dresses?
Choose a color that will flatter your bridesmaids and complement your wedding gown. We offer hundreds of different bridesmaid colors and also have matching tuxedo vest colors for your groomsmen.
Back To Top
What should my junior bridesmaid wear?
Some designers make complementary junior bridesmaid dresses to match the regular bridesmaid dresses. See our store for details.
Back To Top
When are bridesmaid dresses ordered?
Bridesmaid dresses are ordered after all bridesmaids have been measured and the dresses are paid in full. Bridesmaid dresses should be ordered at the same time to ensure that there is not dye-lot variance with the fabric from the manufacturer.
Back To Top
Can I order extra fabric for my bridal gown or bridesmaid dresses?
Fabric can be ordered from most manufacturers at an additional charge. Fabric delivery takes up to 4 to 6 weeks to arrive, and dye-lots can vary.

How do I take care of my gown once the wedding is over?
If a gown is not properly cared for after the wedding, it can cause the fabric and beading to discolor over time. We work with a company called Allied Heirlooms who will clean and preserve your gown. Each gown receives a thorough pre-cleaning, post-cleaning, and packing inspection. Your gown will be packaged in an air-tight box and sent back to you in 6 to 8 weeks.

Finding the perfect color and style of vest can be difficult, especially with the range of different bridesmaid dress colors. We have over 250 different vest styles and colors available in either fullback or backless. Many of these vests also include matching windsor ties, cravats, bowties, and shar-pei ties.
Back To Top
Are there additional charges for vests, shirts, and ties?
The rental price includes: the jacket, pants, any fullback or backless vest, shirt, tie, and basic jewelry.
Back To Top
Do the tuxedo shirts have to be ivory to match the bridal gown?
We recommend that the tuxedo shirts are as close as possible to the bridal gown. Wearing a white shirt next to an off white gown can make the gown look dirty.
Back To Top
What if my gown is not true ivory?
We offer a selection of ivory shirts in traditional and light ivory to ensure the closest match possible. If the gown is not white, usually the tuxedo shirts should be some variation of ivory.
Back To Top
When is the best time to register my tuxedos? What is involved in registering?
As soon as possible! It is never too early to register your tuxedo order. Remember that there are usually several people who need to be measured for their tuxedo and we prefer to have the measurements completed at least 4 weeks prior to the event. Registration is quick and easy. No money is required, and if you are not sure on a particular color or style, those details can be added later.
Back To Top
Where should my attendants get measured? What if they are out-of-town?
Any attendants that are in-town should preferably get measured at the Wedding Shoppe in ensure the most accurate fit. For attendants who are out-of-town, measurements can be mailed, called, emailed, faxed, or sent via our web site.
Back To Top
Are alterations available on my tuxedo?
Of Course! When your order arrives, we recommend that everyone try on their own tuxedo. Our formal wear consultants will professionally inspect your tuxedo and make sure everything fits properly. If alterations are needed, we have an on-site professional seamstress that can adjust pants, sleeve lengths, or other minor alterations for free, while you wait!
