Throughout the year and especially during sample sales, we discount our floor samples between 50-75% off their original price. Be sure to contact us for details if you would like more information on specific prices or samples.
DO YOU ACCEPT WALK-INS?
At Magnolia Bridal House, every bride who walks through our door is important and deserves our undivided attention. This is why we only allow one bride in our store at a time, each appointment typically takes 60-90 minutes.
We want to spend enough time getting to know you, understand your style, and help bring your vision to life. Our team will go above and beyond to ensure an experience that will be remembered forever.
If you are in the area and considering walking in, we always recommend calling first.
HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOULD I BRING TO MY APPOINTMENT?
We believe that your fitting should be as intimate as possible. At Magnolia Bridal House, we want the focus to stay on you and what style and feeling you want to emulate on your wedding day. Sometimes, too many opinions end up overwhelming the bride’s decision, and we want your experience to be as intimate and stress-free as possible. We recommend a crew of 4 or less—friends and family (NO kids, please) members whose opinions you value most. Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes prior to your appointment.
WHAT SIZES OF SAMPLES DO YOU CARRY?
Most of our floor samples available for fittings are bridal sizes 4-18. We have many techniques and tricks for making the gowns fit you as close to your size as possible! Once you’ve found THE gown, we will take your measurements and order your dress as close to your current size as possible. Most of Magnolia Bridal House’s designers make their dresses in standard sizing with a standard size chart, however, some designers will design and build your dress based on your measurements.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY APPOINTMENT?
It can be helpful to bring a strapless bra to your appointment, however, trying on dresses with no bra whatsoever is totally fine! If you plan on wearing Spanx on your big day or a certain pair of heels feel free to bring them. You want to envision yourself on your wedding day, so these items play a key role! But do not worry if you are without these items during your appointment.
WHEN SHOULD I START SHOPPING FOR MY DRESS?
We recommend that you begin shopping for your dress at least 8-12 months before your wedding, as it can take up to 6 months for your gown to arrive. We also suggest a timeline of 8-12 weeks for alterations leading up to your wedding date. Some designers will accommodate tight deadlines, but it’s always best to play it safe.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR ALTERATIONS?
Every wedding dress requires some type of alteration to perfectly sculpt the dress to your body. Whether big or small, alterations are almost always a necessity. We can provide you with a list of recommended seamstresses in the area. This way you are free to interview tailors and see who you feel most comfortable with or use a tailor of your own choosing. Each tailor on our list has been handpicked based on their experience and reputation. We don’t want anyone but the best touching your wedding dress!
