Do I need an appointment to try gowns at your salon?

Appointments are not required but are highly recommended so that we may spend more time with you, listen to your ideas and offer suggestions. We would like to have time to inform you about our designers and services.

How do I know if you carry a specific gown in your salon?

Please email your questions to our sales team. Please include as much information as possible: style, description, magazine, etc.

How long should I allow for an appointment?

Intially, an hour and half is sufficient. It allows enough time to try many styles without overwhelming you.

Can I bring someone with me?

Absolutley. We suggest you bring someone who's opinion you value . It is important to include the person who will be paying for the purchase. Remember, too many people means conflicting opinions and confusion. In our experience, two of your most important loved ones or friends. You don't want to spoil the surprise.

What do I need to bring?

Just yourself and and an open mind and any pictures you may have for ideas. We have all the shoes and foundations you will need.

How soon in advance of my wedding should I order my bridal party attire?

A bride should allow herself enough time to explore and shop in the beginning and enough time at the end to not be stressed if there is a production delay. A safe and comfortable time frame is 9 months to a year before your wedding. An average bridal delivery is four (4) to six (6) months and for bridesmaids, mothers and flowergirls ten (10) to twelve (12) weeks. Rush cuts for expidited delivery are available for an additional charge. Bridal fittings begin two to three months in advance depending on whether or not you are going to schedule a portrait. The bridal party is usually seen 1 month before.

My bridesmaids and groomsmen are all over the country. How do I handle that?

You make your selections and show your out of town members the choice or options on line buy clicking on the designers link from our website. They can print off a picture and the out of town bridesmaids/groomsman form and take it to a formal wear shop or tailor convenient to them. It is a courtesy thoughout our industry to measure for each other at no charge. It is extremely important to be professionally measured and having a picture of the dress helps so that the person measuring can see the style.

Buyer beware! INTERNET DISCOUNT SITES.

Unfortunately the bridal industry has some hidden evils I would like to share with you.

First, remember the old adage, "you get what you pay for."

Second, it is so important to find a person and a place that you enjoy and trust. This is the most important day and you are involved with this person/place for many months. You want to make sure that you feel comfortable. We want your wedding experience to be fun, easy, efficient and memorable.

There are so many discount internet sites that are "offering" designer merchandise at a fraction of the cost. The risks are high.
Are you getting the actual designer item or a knock off?
What are you going to do with it when it lands on your doorstep?
What if it is not right? Is my deposit refundable?
Who is going to help you accessorize and alter it?
Who will be your shoulder to lean on in times of stress?

This is your wedding day and the whole experience from shopping with your someone special to that hug on your final day should be perfect. You have to decide what it is worth to you to deal with a salon that has an authorized relationship with the designer and that has a physical place that you can go to handle your needs and concerns. A place that can provide you and your bridal party with all the necessary services from beginning to end . Everything has a price....What is it worth to YOU?

A WARNING ABOUT TRANS-SHIPPING.

Trans-shipping means a store that doesn't carry a specific designer tells you that they can order the dress for you for less . Do your homework. Get on the designer's website (www.lazarobridal.com - buyer beware section) or call them and ask if they deal with this shop or internet site. Ask if they are authorized to sell their designs? If dresses by a particular designer are not featured in that shop or are very old, chances are they are not authorized to sell to you.

What a store does is establish an illegal relationship with another store and orders the merchandise through them. They pay a small fee to the other shop or gets the other shop something they need that they are not authorized to sell.

The problems that result from Trans-shipping are receiving merchandise late, incorrect or not at all. You are depending on your order going through a third party who has no relationship or vested interest in you or your day to a designer who has no idea that you exist. You can't contact them if there is a problem because they don't deal with the shop to which you gave your money . You also have to count on the "mystery store" to be paying their bills on time. Most shops who are involved in these practices are not financially sound. They are selling dresses for little over cost. They are trying to make money on quantity not quality. If the dress comes in damaged or the wrong size as they sometimes do , the store you purchased from can not call the designer to have it corrected. They must return it to the third party who then hopefully promptly takes care of sending it back to the designer and then back to your shop and then ultimately to you. This is all time wasted, if you even get it at all . Designers are cracking down hard on these shops and internet sites that are Trans-shipping. If the shop you purchased from or the shop they ordered from, which could be anywhere in the country, gets caught they not only close their account but cease all their orders and guess who doesn't get their dress and is out their money.........YOU!!! We have heard and worked with many brides who have been hurt trying to save a couple of hundred dollars and it ended up costing them more financially and emotionally. Everyone has a budget, we understand that. We just want you to understand the possible consequences of trying to buy a $2000.00 gown for $1200.00. Our suggestion-buy a $1200.00 gown from an authorized retailer who appreciates your business and will work hard to fullfill your every need.

We are more than happy to educate, explain or help answer any questions you may have about internet discounting or Trans-shipping. All the designers that we work with are exclusive designers who pride themselves on their craft and their service. They do not authorize or support any of these methods. Some even have warnings posted on their websites.

If you, however, find a lower price from an authorized retailer prior to your purchase that we consider to be fair and can be verified, we will be more than happy to match it.
