Storage and Insurance
Your gown is stored in a temperature controlled, secure and insured environment. Insurance being a critical, overlooked aspect as it is not uncommon for many bridal stores to skimp on this costly expense; leaving you the bride without recourse in the case of disaster.
Alteration Pricing
In the bridal industry, alterations are never included in the price of gowns when sold by reputable salons. We charge a competitive rate to cover the cost of providing the service, which is quoted at the time of the fitting. We have a team of professional fitters, experienced seamstresses and trained finishers on staff to make sure the final touches are done right. Bridal Magazines and The Nationl Bridal Service recommend brides seek out salons that are up front with alteration costs and have a reputation for professional results.
Common Mistakes
- Purchasing your gown from a store that does not provide this important service.
- Getting your alterations done for free. The old adage should apply, "if something sounds to good to be true... it probably is." Your risking your bridal dress and how you will look. Necessary alterations are not pointed out, minimal work is done and because they are not getting paid they will rush through it doing a potentially sloppy job.
- Having your gown altered by a friend. Daywear alterations are completely different than altering a complicated garment like a bridal dress. Be sure you have complete confidence.
We have received many last minute requests from damsels in distress who've found their dream gown transformed into a nightmare by the inexperienced. Nobody needs this the week of their wedding. Alterations are very important!
