FAQ

Yes, please! At Boulevard Bride we strive to make your experience as personal as possible. An appointment allows us to get to know you and what you are looking for in a wedding dress.

We do not allow photography during the appointment. Once you say yes to your dress, you may take as many photos as you would like. We want to make sure you are living in the moment and really taking in you dress shopping experience.

Don’t stress about out-of-town bridesmaids, we make it easy! Your bridesmaids will go to a seamstress and get bust, waist, and hip measurements. They will send their measurements to boulevardbridal@gmail.com. Once we receive their measurements, we will call for the down-payment and then get the dresses ordered!

We cannot stress enough how important it is for your bridesmaids to get measured by a professional seamstress. These measurements determine the size of dress that they are ordered.

We try to have a wide range of dress sizes for all body types!

• Our wedding dress samples range from a size 2-28. Bridal sizes tend to run a bit small, so don’t be surprised when you are fitting into a gown that is 1-2 sizes higher than your normal size.
• Our mother’s dresses range from a size 6-26W. Mothers dresses also run similar to wedding dresses… so the size that fits you may be 1-2 sizes higher than your normal size.
• Our prom dresses range from 00-26. We always suggest trying on dresses in your normal size and also trying a size up and size down. The way dress sizes fit may vary depending on the designer.

Our store comfortably fits up to 4 guests per bridal appointment. This number allows us to get to know you and your guests. This is also the perfect number of guests to get support from so that you do not feel overwhelmed by so many different opinions. We see too often brides who fall in love with a dress and want to say ‘yes to the dress,’ only to be talked out of it by a member of their party. This day is about YOU and what YOU feel gorgeous in!

We do not allow outside food or drinks in our store. We have so many pretty white dresses that we do not want damaged (we can tell you some horror stories!). On special occasions we do provide appetizers and champagne.

Our location in The Meadows is perfect for celebrating after your appointment! You can choose from several amazing restaurants to says ‘cheers’ at after saying yes to the dress.

99% percent of brides and mothers will need some type of alterations done to their dresses. All wedding and mothers dresses are made for girls 5’11 and taller… so unless you have been gifted with height, you will definitely want your dress hemmed. Many times brides will also need to have their wedding dress taken out or in, and have the straps adjusted. We do not do any of these alterations in-house, but we can provide you with seamstress recommendations. We suggest calling multiple seamstresses to see which one you like best, and feel 100% confident with entrusting your wedding dress.

In a perfect world we would have every bride order her dress a year in advance. Wedding dresses take an average of 6-9 months to come in. Once it comes in, you also have to take into account the 1-2 months of alterations.

Of course we know that not everyone is picking out their dress a year in advance. If you have a wedding date that is quickly approaching, we will work with you to find an off-the-rack dress or talk with our vendors about other options.

We prefer that you book a bridal appointment to get the full experience. A lot of times dresses look very different on you versus how they look hanging in a dress bag.

We ask that your mom and any other guests just relax and enjoy the experience of watching you try on wedding dresses. Our staff members are available to help you into the dresses if you need any help. We do this all day every day so there is no need to feel uncomfortable. If you prefer though, you can get into the dress on your own and then let the associate come in to zip you up or tie your corset.

Our off-the-rack bridal gowns start at $50 and go up to $1499. Our order-in bridal gowns start around $1000 and go up to around $3100. Couture gowns start at $1500. Our average bridal price point is between $1200 and $1500.

Congratulations on finding your dream dress!

The next time you’ll hear from us is when your dress arrives in our store. Depending on the designer, wedding gowns can take about 3-6 months to arrive at our store. The designer cannot tell us an exact date that your gown will arrive, only an estimated time frame. With that being said, if these ship dates do not work for your wedding, we have a wide selection of off the rack gowns that are available.

Once you hear from us, we like for our brides to schedule a try-on appointment. At this appointment, you will be trying on your dress, pay off any additional balance that you may have on your gown, and take your dress home with you. We do offer a variety of bridal packages that your consultant will go over with you during this appointment.
