FAQ's
What do I need to bring with me the day of my bridal appointment?
The main things to bring are your loved ones and your beautiful self! If you’d like to bring a hair tie, that might be helpful as we try on veils and accessories. As for undergarments, our dresses are made of the highest quality materials and do not require bras or crinolines to be worn with them!
Can I bring young children with me to shop for my bridal gown?
We love children! However, please remember that bridal shops are not very fun for little ones and they tend to get bored easily. You may not want to be distracted by fidgety children when making such an important purchase as your bridal gown.
Can I bring food and drinks into the store?
In order to protect our bridal gowns, we ask that you do not bring outside food or drinks into the store; however, we do offer coffee drinks and wine at our boutique for purchase.
How many guests can I bring with me to my bridal appointment?
Our bridal areas can accommodate four to six guests. We completely understand if you would like to bring more than six important guests—just please know that some of your party may need to gather around on the floor due to limited seating (don’t worry, though, our carpets are clean and soft!). If you have a Vault Clearance Room appointment, you may bring 4 guests with you.
What’s your budget range for bridal gowns?
Bridal gown prices on our main showroom range from $1,400-$4,500. If you have a budget under $1,400, please consider booking a Vault Clearance Room appointment online or by calling 563-659-3983 or texting us at 563-221-1255. The Vault Clearance Room prices range between $299-$1399. In order for us to be mindful and help guide you to the best area of our store, please have an idea of your budget before booking your appointment. We require 70% down if you are special ordering your bridal gown from our main showroom. If you are purchasing one from our Vault Room, you will pay and take it with you that day.
Should I tip my bridal stylist?
As with any service, if you feel that your experience was above and beyond, you certainly may tip your stylist. When checking out, you will be offered the option to tip! This is completely up to you and, while not necessary or expected, it is always appreciated.
Do you have any deals or promotions?
We do run different deals and promotions throughout the year, so check our social media pages or contact us to see if there are any special promotions at the time of your visit.
One ongoing promotion is our “Love at First Sight Bridal Cash” in our main showroom. On your first visit, you will receive a special offer toward the purchase of your bridal gown that is only valid that day. Since this discount only applies on your first visit, you may want to be prepared to purchase in order to take advantage of saving some money on your dream wedding gown! Because of this, we encourage you to bring the people you need to help make your decision on your first visit. (Please note, this discount is not valid on our already marked-down dresses in the Vault Clearance Room)
Thank you for considering us to help make your wedding dress dreams come true! We hope you book your appointment soon to see our extensive, hand-selected collection. Our brides recommend us over and over again to their friends and family. We hope you, too, will choose to become one of our premier Storybook brides.
Remember—“we’re the bridal salon everyone is talking about!”
