Bridal Appointment Info
Your special day is on the horizon and you are the heart of the event. Choose your dress early in your journey; it will help guide your decisions about the bridal party, venue, decorations and guests. Let us help customize your amazing look on this remarkable day.
-
Dress prices range from $6,000 - $15,000+.
-
Bridal appointments are a one-hour session.
-
We recommend your bridal appointment 6 to 12 months in advance of the wedding day; however, a bridal gown can be ordered with an 8-week rush order (rush fees will be applied and availability will vary by designer.)
-
We recommend you wear nude, seamless undergarments to your appointment.
-
Unfortunately, walk-in appointments are not available; for last-minute appointments, call and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
-
Family and friends are welcome; however, there is comfortable space for 4 guests per appointment. If your party is larger, please advise us when booking the appointment.
-
We carry bridal dress sizes 0 to 12. We do our best to accommodate each size but please be mindful that bridal dresses can fit small.
-
Dresses and gowns may be special ordered or purchased from on-site stock; 50% deposit is required for all dress orders.
-
All our alternations are done at our in-house tailor, Ted's Tailor (1615 1/2 Montana Avenue, Santa Monica). Nano from Ted's Tailors takes care of our NWLA bridal gowns. If you are from out of the city, we will help you find a tailor in your region or if possible, Nano can accommodate the out of town bride. Nano gives a quote to the bride before starting, and normal alterations are generally around $950.
-
All gowns require alterations (even if they are custom gowns). The tailor always does the hem & the bustle.
-
Street parking is available on Montana Ave or 16th Street & 15th Street.
-
If you are unable to keep an appointment, please let us know by email at least 24 hours in advance so we may welcome another bride.
