Order Times & Delivery
ORDER TIMES
- Made-to-order dresses take approximately 12-16 weeks to arrive from the time of order depending on the designer.
- It is advisable that you order your bridesmaid dresses 5-6 months before the wedding date if possible (so that you have peace of mind). You need to allow for delivery time to your address, plus some time after the dresses arrive to have them altered to suit the girls once they have purchased their bra and heels to be worn with the dress.
- NOTE: These are approximate delivery times. It is wise to allow a bit of extra “buffer” time, in the event of a delay in delivery due to situations beyond our control. We don’t want you to be stressed out if the expected delivery date is very close to your wedding date. When in doubt, contact the showroom to discuss rush order options (see below).
RUSH ORDERS
- Rush orders are available for selected brands, subject to approval (see Our Designers page for details for brands that offer a Rush Order option).
- Please contact the showroom to discuss your requirements/options if you think you may need a rush order. Just remember to allow enough time for delivery to you, and for the dresses to be altered once they arrive.
- Rush order fees of $50 per dress are charged for any approved rush orders.
- Rush orders can vary between 6 -10 weeks for production (PLUS delivery time to your address) depending on the production schedule of the manufacturer, and can vary from brand to brand.
