Walk-ins are very hard to accommodate on the weekends, which is why we encourage brides to schedule an appointment. We prefer to have one bridal party in our loft at a time so that the bride and her party are the centers of attention. You are welcome to walk in and look around, but we may not be able to accommodate for a fitting as we service scheduled guests.

DURING COVID 8 GUESTS PLUS BRIDE.
We can accommodate at the most 20, with creative seating, however, we prefer no more than 10. Remember, the larger your party, the more opinions you have and the more critique you will receive. Try to bring friends and family that will be helpful and patient as you look for your perfect dress.

The Bridal Shoppe is not liable for any delay or non-delivery of any item resulting from conditions beyond their control. If The Bridal Shoppe feels that a manufacturer’s delay is going to result in non-delivery, The Bridal Shoppe will, with your input, secure an alternative garment.

The average price for our gowns ranges from $500 - $2900, with the majority between $1100 and $1900. If there is a sample that you love, you will get the best savings by buying it as-is from our rack.

Shipping dates vary from manufacturers and are approximate. Special delivery on most wedding gowns takes between 4-6 months. Until your gown is ordered, The Bridal Shoppe can only estimate its ship date from the manufacturer. For an approximate arrival date, you may call 1-2 weeks after the order is placed. The approximate arrival date is the date The Bridal Shoppe expects the gown to be at the store and ready for pick up. This date is based upon the store’s knowledge of the designer, time in transit from the designer, and assuming the manufacturer is not running early or late. The Bridal Shoppe is in frequent contact with its manufacturer.

The Bridal Shoppe is not liable for any delay or non-delivery of any item resulting from conditions beyond their control. If The Bridal Shoppe feels that a manufacturer’s delay is going to result in non-delivery, The Bridal Shoppe will, with your input, secure an alternative garment.

You must come in and inspect the gown within 10 days of being notified of its arrival at The Bridal Shoppe. The Bridal Shoppe cannot be liable for the manufacturer’s errors on any gown that has not been inspected within 10 days. Upon pick-up of the gown, it will be in the condition in which The Bridal Shoppe received it from the manufacturer and covered in a signature The Bridal Shoppe bag. It is your responsibility to pick up and pay for any balance due for any merchandise ordered within 30 days. All gowns and merchandise must be paid for before alterations and prior to leaving the store.

Any gowns are not picked up 14 days after the wedding date provided (excluding brides who have made accommodations for their gown) will be donated to a local organization if arrangements have not been made to retrieve your gown either by pick-up or paid shipping.

We highly recommend you come to try on and inspect your dress once we notify you of delivery. However, if you elect to have your dress shipped to you, the dress becomes delivered as-is. We can try to work with you on some dress issues after receipt but it will be at our discretion. Shipping Fee applies.

There are no refunds, exchanges, or cancellations once you choose the style and place the deposit for the order. In most cases, but not all, changes to the order can only be made in the first 24 hours after placing the order, and this is dependent on the manufacturer and their policies. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

The Bridal Shoppe has an in-house tailor who can provide alterations for your wedding gown. You are not required to use our tailor, however, our brides have been very satisfied with the quality of her work and experience. Pricing varies, depending on what alterations are being made. Please call Wendy to book an appointment for alterations at 214-738-7474.
