Can I bring someone with me to my fittings?

You are welcome to bring guests to your fittings. Having friends and family with you can help when finalizing your design or choosing the right accessories. It’s also a great idea to bring your maid-of-honor or wedding consultant to one of your fittings to learn how to bustle your gown and help with your headpiece.

What happens if my weight changes after my first fitting?

We understand that it is common for a bride’s weight to change in the weeks leading up to her wedding, however, additional charges may apply if your change in weight results in additional alterations. If you think you may lose significant weight (more than 5 pounds) please let us know before your first fitting so we may plan your remaining fittings to minimize last minute alterations.
