Bridal Gowns

 We recommend looking for, and purchasing your wedding gown 6-12 months prior to your wedding date.  This will allow time for the gown to arrive, and also allow for any additional alterations you may require for your gown. Is your wedding date sooner than later? We do have rush options available at an additional fee.

 The answer is absolutely YES! Come prepared to find your dress at our salon. We are fit specialists and our dresses are dreamy. Many brides find ‘the one’ on their initial fitting, so make sure you have the most important people there to witness you say YES! 

We currently do not charge for regular appointments or cancelations at our salon. Why? Because we believe our brides should have the freedom to shop. By charging for an appointment or penalizing our brides for canceling creates unnecessary stress and/or obligations. Since we can find or make a gorgeous dress for every bride, the majority of our brides end up saying ‘yes’ on their initial visit, so charging a fee for our service is simply not necessary,

You will meet with your bridal consultant and they will get a feel for the gown that you have in mind. She gauges your personal style by asking questions such as what you envisioned yourself wearing on your wedding day, the location and feel of the wedding and any pictures of items you have pinned and so on. Your consultant will hand-select gowns that fit your description while your bridal party sits back, relaxes and enjoys the show! 

We recommend bringing comfortable undergarments, such as a nude strapless or well fitting bra.  Some brides also like to bring their high heels or shoes similar to the height that they will be wearing on their wedding day. Doing your research ahead of time with photos and making a Pinterest or inspiration board is a great way to get started.  

We recommend bringing a small party of your nearest and dearest!  We can seat 3 or 4 maximum in our salon. Close family members and friends and opinions you trust – too many people can create unwanted stress and be quite confusing - our brides are the center of attention, not their entourage. 

There is an alterations fee included in the price of your gown at Venustas that will cover simple adjustments for the perfect fit. If more extensive alterations are required, there will be an additional fee as required beyond that allowance. Upon ordering your gown, your measurements are taken and the closest size to your measurements is ordered for your special day. As we are all human, your body mass may shift after your purchase your gown due to weight loss or weight gain. Alterations will allow your gown to fit your height and body-type perfectly! All alterations are performed in house unless differently specified.
