Appointments
We look forward to meeting and getting to know our brides! In order to provide every bride with a truly personalized experience, a $35 Monday through Thursday reservation fee, and a $40 Friday through Sunday reservation fee, is required to secure your exclusive private appointment. The reservation fee is credited toward the price of your gown when you say, “Yes!” at the end of your appointment.
Your reserved appointment includes:
- A 90-minute styling experience with 2-3 guests aged 14 years and older.
- Properly taking your measurements.
- One-on-one guidance in our intimate salon with the owner who has experience in bridal gown design, construction, and alterations.
- Music, or no music, of your choice.
- Thoughtfully curated and well-cared for gowns.
- If desired, a complimentary 30 minute return appointment to revisit your top favorite selections with the intent of saying, “Yes!”
This reservation allows us to dedicate our time, expertise, and entire bridal salon exclusively to you, ensuring an unrushed and meaningful experience from beginning to end. It also compensates us for the time it takes to prepare for your appointment, your 90 minute styling session, and post-appointment clean up and re-organization.
Things To Know Prior to Your Appointment:
Because we offer off-the-rack consignment (ie., we don’t own them) and one-of-a-kind handmade (i.e., lengthy in time to create) gowns, we are diligent about keeping our gowns in great condition for all our brides to love and bring home that day. As such…
- We are, unfortunately, unable to offer refreshments during your appointment (However, there are a handful of great restaurants in the immediate area for you to visit before or after your appointment).
- We ask that you arrive not wearing make-up (Don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of pre-wedding and wedding day photos ops looking your most beautiful!), spray tan, perfume or jagged jewelry that can easily stain or snag delicate fabrics. We offer make-up remover for your convenience.
- We ask that everyone attending your appointment wear provided white cotton gloves while browsing dresses (As a one-time visitor to a consignment bridal shop in Boston, visible soiling marks were present in the same location on nearly all of gowns, where the right hand would push the gowns to the side for a full view of the dress).
- Unless asked for assistance, please allow staff to handle all garments.
- During the hot, sweaty, sticky summer months, we offer brides body wipes, if needed.
Please keep in mind, we are a small local business. We understand you may not find your dream gown with us, and that is okay! However, if you have no intention of potentially buying and are simply scheduling to play dress up, to obtain sizing or to try on similar styles to make an online purchase, please refrain from scheduling with us. We appreciate your understanding and support of our small, local business.

Our bridal salon is located on the second floor of a building that does not offer elevator access. We are happy to accommodate those who are physically challenged to ascend a staircase, by offering home visit appointment options.
