Frequently Asked Questions
Our gowns range from $1,800 - $4000, with the majority of our gowns being between the $2,000 -$3,000 range. If you have specific questions regarding a designer's price range, we are happy to discuss it with you during your appointment, via email, or by phone.
Yes, we do require our TBB brides to schedule an appointment. We have a private studio that allows for an intimate and personalized experience for each of our brides and their guests. You can schedule an appointment here on our website in the services tab or by phone (765) 748-7274.
First appointments are 90 minutes each. This will give you time to talk to the stylist, browse the racks, try on gowns and sip on bubbly! We want you to feel relaxed and have time to enjoy the experience. During the appointment, you will have your own personal stylist in our private studio. If you would like to upgrade the length of your experience, you can for a small fee! Please ask about the "VIP Experience" when you call to book your appointment. Styling appointments can be made once you've selected a gown. Come in the studio to complete the look with jewelry, veils and other accessories.
Once you've scheduled your appointment, we encourage brides to look through our designers and gowns online. Save the pictures of your favorite gowns. You can also look on Pintrest at other gown ideas to show your stylist at the appointment. Having an idea of the aesthetic of your day can also be helpful.
We want your appointment at TBB to be a truly memorable experience. For your comfort and the best possible experience in our private rooms, we recommend bringing no more than 4–6 guests for standard appointments, and up to 10 guests for VIP appointments.
We understand that family and friends play an important role in helping you say “yes” to the dress, so we always encourage bringing at least one guest for support!
Please wear undergarments to your appointment. You're also welcome to bring shapewear if you'd like. Additionally, feel free to bring your wedding shoes or any accessories you plan to wear - it can be helpful to see how everything comes together!
Typical bridal gowns run very small. Anticipate your bridal size being about two to three sizes larger than your average dress size. The majority of our gowns are size 10-16, but we have dresses from size 8 to 24. If the same gown is too small or too big, we can use clips and fabric to help the dress fit your body. Our gowns are ordered based on the size you need upon purchasing.
We require 60% deposit to place your order. Once your order is submitted, no changes or cancellations can be made since all orders are custom made. Payments can be made over time. The remaining 40% is due once the gown arrives!
All dresses are ordered close to your size as possible, but all gowns need alterations for the perfect fit that hugs your body. We encourage brides to schedule an appointment with a tailer once the dress arrives. TBB does not do alterations in house. We have amazing recommendations of tailors so please feel free to ask your stylist! Scheduling alterations 2-3 months before your wedding date is ideal.
Tipping your Bridal Consultant is never expected but always appreciated. If you choose to tip, the funds all go directly to your stylist for their service and experience.
We have a parking lot right in front of the store! We are wheelchair accessible with one wheelchair access ramp on the left side in front of The Famous Taco.
Most places recommend brides buy their dresses 6-9 months before the wedding to allow time for alterations and shipping. However, we can accommodate shorter time lines depending on the designer.
