Accessories 101

While we know there are SO MANY options for accessorizing your bridal look, we have learned a thing or two over the years when it comes to styling your look for the big day!  One of the most common misconceptions about buying accessories at a bridal shop is that everything is over-priced.  We pride ourselves on how reasonably priced our accessories are.  (We offer jewelry starting at $20 and veils starting at $70.)

We strongly encourage our brides who are looking for accessories to book an appointment!  Why not come back and try on THE dress again (our sample) and try out all the options with a fresh mind?  Besides the fact that it is just SO FUN to be back in the dress, if you are visual people like we are, we value being IN the dress and actually seeing the entire look together.  Feel free to bring in any accessories that you may already have and test it out with the dress!

Accessories Facts:

• Lead time: This can vary depending on a number of factors.  We usually suggest allowing 3 months for any accessories to arrive to the shop.
• When to shop?  After you’ve found the one, before it comes in!  Come in on a calm day with a fresh mind and explore the options.
• What options do you have?  SO many.  Veils, jewelry, hair accessories, gloves, overskirts, detachable trains, bows, capes/streamers, faux-fur shawls, lace jackets, robes, detachable sleeves, belts, sashes…and more!
• Veil price points:  Our average non-cathedral veil price is $200 and the very long cathedrals can vary from $150 to $900.
• Veil customizations?  Usually, yes!  Our veils designers are in the USA so there is usually a way to meet your vision exactly.
• Steaming/pressing: Of course this is included in the prices of our accessories!  No extra charge for this.
• Do you steam/press outside veils?  We do, for a fee, which is based on the length.  Please note that while we do our best to get all the wrinkles out, we have found that veils with lower quality fabrics can be quite difficult to make completely smooth and wrinkle-free.
