Before picking up the gown you purchase at The Wedding Studio, we suggest you contact a tailor to schedule your appointment to start the fitting process.

The Wedding Studio has recommended bridal tailors so contact us for a referral. We recommend starting your alterations 2-3 months prior to the wedding date, so make sure to add this time onto the 4-7 months for gown production.

We do not offer in-house alterations, but have a list recommend seamstresses that our brides have used and loved.

We don’t have any required alterations packages, which means you only pay for what you need to have done to make your gown fit like a glove.

Accessories are the icing on the cake. Our stylists are very experienced at pulling together your whole look during your bridal gown appointment. Often, seeing the whole ensemble together helps the bride say “ ‘Yes’, this is my dress!”

Of course, you’re always welcomed back if you need more time to make your final decision. Keep in mind, most accessories are special order too, and while they don’t usually take as much time as a wedding gown, it can be several weeks/months.

The Wedding Studio carries an edited selection of each designer’s collection, but trunk shows are a designated time where we will have an extended selection of a particular designer.

The trunk shows only last a couple of days, and appointments fill up quickly, so we recommend you book early if one of your favorite designers will be visiting TWS and you want to be able to shop the whole line. Discounts apply on trunk show merchandise during the trunk show dates only.

A designer preview show, simply put, is the ultimate personal shopping experience. On the day of the show, the Wedding Studio will showcase the newest wedding dresses from the designer.

A bride can schedule an appointment to see and try on these wedding dresses which are not ordinarily carried in her local salon.

Many of these gowns are also designer show exclusives and will not be available after the event ends. At select shows, a Designer and/or Executive from the designer will be in attendance so a bride can talk with them about the inspiration, trends, and details behind the wedding dresses in the collection. Call as early as possible, as appointments book quickly.
