Question 1

When should I shop for my wedding dress?

Accepted Answer

We recommend shopping for your bridal look 10-12 months before the big day. This will allow for the most dress options. Gowns typically take between 6-8 months to come in. Allow 1-2  for alterations. If you have a shorter wedding planning timeline, The Wedding Tree also offers off-the-rack sample gowns! Find a gown that fits you and your style and leave with it the same day.

Question 2

Do I need an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Our team would love to book an appointment for you and your guests! We will always prefer an appointment when shopping for bridal gowns. While we try our very best to accommodate walk-ins, we tend to book up on weekends. Be sure to check out our different appointment options and find the best fit for you!

Question 3

What should I bring to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Confidence is the best accessory to bring when shopping for your dress. Feel free to bring shapewear, a strapless bra, or any other undergarnment you may want to wear. You may also bring shoes or any other accessories you want to see with your bridal look. We do not allow outside food or beverages, but have options available for purchase. Be sure to check out our different appointment options and find the best fit for you!

Question 4

How much are bridal gowns?

Accepted Answer

Our store carries a wide range of price points to accommodate many budgets. The national average for a bridal gown is about $1,800. Most of our dresses fall within the $1,000-$3,200 range but we do have styles below that price point. If your budget is under $600, we have hundreds of orderable special occasion dresses as well.

Question 5

Do you have any sale dresses?

Accepted Answer

We have a selection of 100+ sale gowns that can be purchased from our collection. It's always best to check our social media pages for any announcements about sales or other special promotions.

Question 6

What sizes are available to try on?

Accepted Answer

Size inclusion is incredibly important to us! Our in-store samples range from sizes 4-30, but most can be ordered in sizes 0-34.

Question 7

How do I know what size to order?

Accepted Answer

Your stylist will take your measurements and go over the size chart with you to select the best size. Sizing for a bridal gown runs differently than street sizing, so you will end up selecting a different size than normal.  It is important to note that these dresses are not custom made, so alterations are ALWAYS expected and a normal part of the process.

Question 8

Do you have bridal seamstresses at The Wedding Tree?

Accepted Answer

No, we no longer offer bridal alterations. However, we do have a list of local seamstresses under the 'Alterations' section of our website!

Question 9

When should I schedule my alterations appointment?

Accepted Answer

For a bridal gown, we recommend booking your appointment 3-4 months prior to your wedding.

Seamstresses get very busy during wedding season (summer / fall). Even if your dress is not in yet, we recommend calling well in advance to get your appointment(s) in the books. Remember, alterations are almost always necessary so it is better to have an appointment and cancel later than to wait to schedule and not get in.

Question 10

How much do alterations cost?

Accepted Answer

Because seamstresses are self-employed, they set their own prices. The easiest way to find out how much they charge for a specific alteration is to call them and ask!

Question 11

What is your return policy?

Accepted Answer

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. There are no returns, refunds, or exchanges and merchandise is sold “as is.”

In the event of a subsequent cancellation, we will not refund for any payments already made and the customer is still responsible for any remaining balance. Merchandise may not remain in the store past the original wear date without incurring service charges.
