Fittings, by appointment
Book your bridal appointment.
Boulevard Bride serves brides across St. Charles County from our showroom in Lake St. Louis. Every bridal appointment is one-on-one with a dedicated stylist. No rushing. No upsells.
How a Boulevard Bride appointment works
- 01
Reserve your time
Submit a request here or call. A stylist follows up within one business day to confirm your appointment, collect the $50 deposit, and capture a few details about your wedding.
- 02
Arrive and settle in
When you arrive, we welcome your party into a dedicated dressing suite. We start with a short conversation. Your stylist wants to understand your venue, your formality, your budget, and the styles you already feel drawn to.
- 03
Try on a curated selection
Your stylist pulls gowns that match your brief. You will try between six and twelve. We adjust as we go. Every gown your family sees is one you and the stylist chose together.
- 04
Say yes and place the order
When you find the one, we take measurements, place the order the same day, and explain the timeline. Most gowns arrive in three to seven months. We will let you know the moment yours ships.
What to bring
- Inspiration photos, Pinterest boards, or screenshots of gowns you love.
- Nude or light colored undergarments. A strapless bra if you own one.
- Any family heirloom jewelry or accessories you want to style with.
- Up to four guests whose opinions you trust. Keep the panel small and supportive.
When to book
Wedding gowns take two to nine months to arrive from the designer after you place your order, depending on the designer and season. Alterations typically add another 8 to 12 weeks on top of that. To shop without time pressure, we recommend starting your bridal appointments 12 to 14 months before your wedding date.
Tight timeline? We still have options. Ask at booking about rush-friendly designers and sample-off-the- rack opportunities.
Appointment questions
We do require appointments in order to try on bridal gowns. At Boulevard Bride, we strive to make your experience as personalized as possible. An appointment allows us to get to know you and what you're looking for in a wedding dress. Walk-ins will only be accommodated if we have a stylist and dressing room free. Our weekends usually book up quickly, making it very difficult to allow walk-ins.
