Does a client need to schedule an appointment? How do the client appointments work?
In Calgary, consultations are by appointment only. This ensures that you are provided with one on one attention and a private gown shopping experience. Please feel free to bring one or two friends along with you and enjoy our complimentary champagne and pastries in a pampering and relaxing atmosphere.
What wedding dress brands do you carry at your boutique?
At present we carry our own Nina Leal and Nina Leal Sposa labels. We also offer custom ,hand embroidered veils and accessories and exquisite handmade head pieces from the Tiara Room of San Francisco.
What is the typical turn-around time for a dress?
Typically, it is wise for a bride to order her Nina Leal gown at least 6-8 months before her wedding date. This allows time for customizations, hand embroidery and fittings. If you are not local, you will need to find a reputable seamstress in your area (if not purchasing from a salon) to do your fittings for you. In that case, you will need your gown at least one month to two months before your wedding date.
How often do you receive new dresses?
Nina Leal offers two small collections per year. The Fall/Winter 2008 collection will debut in September
