FAQ's

When should I schedule my bridal alterations?

Most brides begin alterations about 8-12 weeks before the wedding date. This allows enough time for fittings, adjustments, and final refinements without feeling rushed. Some gowns or timelines may require additional planning, which can be discussed during your consultation.

How far in advance should I schedule my first fitting?

My bridal alteration calendar fills quickly, especially during peak wedding season. Booking as soon as your gown arrives is strongly encouraged to secure your preferred timeframe.

How long does each appointment take?

Initial bridal consultations are generally scheduled for 45–60 minutes, while additional fittings typically last 30–45 minutes, depending on the gown and the alterations being performed.

What is the average cost of bridal gown alterations?

Bridal alteration services are offered through a selection of thoughtfully designed packages to accommodate a range of gown styles and alteration needs. Pricing varies depending on the construction of the gown and the level of work involved, with most bridal alterations typically ranging from $300–$1,200 based on the package that best fits your gown and budget.

Will I know the cost of my bridal gown alterations ahead of time?

Yes. During your consultation, we’ll review the recommended alterations for your gown and discuss the package that best fits your needs and budget. You’ll receive a clear estimate at that time, allowing you to make informed decisions with no surprises along the way.

Is a deposit required?

Yes. To reserve your place on my alteration schedule, a $50 non-refundable deposit is collected at your consultation. This amount is credited toward your final balance, with the remaining balance due at your final fitting or pickup.

Do you offer rush bridal gown alterations?

If your timeline is shorter than expected, rush bridal alterations may be possible depending on availability and the work required. Rush services are subject to an additional fee and are not always guaranteed. I’m always happy to talk through your timeline and see what options may be available.
