Please note that at this time we are asking our brides to limit their guests to 3 people per appointment due to limited space for the duration of our prom season. If you are planning on having more than 3 guests please let us know so we can make arrangements!
Our Bridal Mission is to provide a space and opportunity for each future bride to find her confidence while finding her dream dress. Our bridal suite holds wedding gowns in a range of styles and sizes for every bride-to-be. We desire that all our brides have an opportunity to find a dress that reflects their true beauty and personality.
What To Expect At Your Bridal Appointment
Whether you book in person, via phonecall or text, or online, a stylist will likely ask you a few questions while confirming your bridal appointment. Questions your stylist will likely ask are as followed:
Name/Phone Number/Email: These are needed to confirm your appointment and to update you with any changes or promotions going on within the store.
When is your wedding: Wedding dresses that are special ordered can take up to 6 months to be created by the designer. This is common amongst all the bridal manufacturers. Bravura consultants are familiar with these timelines and will never sell you a dress that will not be here in time for your wedding.
Approximately what size do you wear: Bravura stylists want to insure that every future bride looks and feels beautiful, confident, and comfortable. Our consultants are trained to know what manufacturers carry plus size and petite wedding sizes. Your stylist will likely pull a few dresses based on your wishes and getting approximate sizing helps us prepare for your appointment.
What is your wedding dress budget: We understand how weddings can financially impact an individual. We want to be respectful of your wedding dress budget and show you a plethora of options within your budget. Additionally, we often have bridal gowns that can be purchased off the rack for a discounted price.
Are there any styles in particular that you're interested in: Now here's the fun part. Tell us about your wedding dress vision! Are you looking for a romantic and whimsical ballgown? Is your bridal style more modern and sleek? Do you have your eye on a specific dress? Let us know! We will pull these for you or any that we think you may fall in love with based off your answer!
During your bridal appointment, your stylist will meet you at the door and walk you to our private bridal suite. There you will learn the layout of our suite, where your fitting room is, and you and your guests will be able to browse our selection of dresses. We will assist you in pulling dresses you'd like to try on and bring them to your dressing room. After you try on your dresses, your stylist may pull a few more based off what you are liking. Bridal appointments typically take 1.5 hours. Once you find your dream wedding dress your stylist will place your order, give you the estimated ship date, and keep in contact throughout the duration of your dress buying journey.
Helpful Tips Before Your Appointment
Keep an open mind! We've been assisting brides since 1988 and have seen countless brides come in with a picture of a dress they want and then fall in love with something completely different. This is the fun part of wedding dress shopping-you never know what you'll end up with and you have the chance to try on any style that you want!
Choose who will accompany you to your bridal appointment! Saying Yes to the Dress is such a special part of this season in your life. We recommend keeping your company to a smaller number. Too many conflicting opinions can create confusion and lead to the bride not choosing exactly what she wants for her special day. We've found that 3 is the magic number however you are not limited to just 3 guests. Please keep in mind that although our bridal suite is big, we cannot accommodate large parties. If you do have a larger party coming to your appointment, we kindly ask that you inform the store so we can arrange seating for your guests and find an appointment time where we can accommodate your party. Please note that children must be accompanied by an adult. We do not have entertainment for children during your bridal appointment. We recommend bringing something to entertain children (tablet, puzzle, etc) if children must be present during your appointment.
Bring or wear any undergarments/shapewear/shoes you plan on wearing for your wedding. This will help you visualize the whole bridal look put together. Although alterations will be done during a separate appointment, you will need to have your wedding shoes and shapewear for alterations to be started to insure the perfect fit.
Wedding dresses tend to run small. Bravura is women-owned and operated and we truly understand the epidemic of sensitivity towards body-image. Unfortunately Bravura does not control the sizing of the designers we carry. Please understand that you may have to order a size or two larger than what your "street wear" size is based off of sizing charts given by the manufacturers.
