FAQ

  • Yes please! We want to give you and your guests our undivided attention as we help you find your perfect gown. We ask that appointments are booked to ensure that a fitting room is available and a stylist can assist you in finding the perfect gown. Our hours are dependent on our appointments, if you plan to come in to take a browse please call ahead to make sure we are open.

  • We offer three types of appointments:

    Shopping appointments are booked for 90 mins. During this appointment a Bride is able to get through approx. 5-8 dresses.

    Follow up appointments are booked for 60 mins. If you are coming in to try on your favourites this would be the appointment for you.

    Accessory Appointments are booked for 45 mins. If you are looking for the finishing pieces to complete your look, this appointment is for you.

  • We know how important it is to include everyone that is important to you on this very exciting journey. We encourage you to try to keep your guests to a limit as too many opinions can become overwhelming on your search for the perfect gown. Due to the size of our seating area we can only accommodate 5 guest per Bride.

  • We encourage all Brides to start shopping 12 month prior to wedding date, as most designers take 6-8 months for delivery. If you do not have 6-8 months we have plenty of beautiful options that are available “off -rack”.

    Most designers also have options for “RUSH ORDERS” depending on the designer and period of time, rush fees can vary from $250.00 - $500.00.

  • A “ Trunk Show” is when a Bridal Boutique has the complete collection of the newest sample gowns on hand from a specific designer. Styles can often be purchased at a discount when purchased durning a Trunk Show.

    A trunk Show is a great opportunity for Brides who love a certain designer to see a broader range of the designers collection.

  • Our sample sizes vary from designer to designer. Please keep in mind that sizes vary depending on the brand and may fit smaller than others. We have modesty panels and clips to ensure a proper fit. Our store sample range from an 8 to 16 on the showroom floor. Dresses can be order from size 2-30 depending on designer and style.

    Price Point - Our Made to Order dresses range from $1800- $4999.00. Prices vary depending on designer. We also have “off- rack sample gowns” available starting at $300.00.

  • We currently have an alteration department on site- that is available for Brides that have purchased their dresses at Bliss. Our seamstresses are self-employed; therefore , alterations are a separate cost from that of the gown. Before the alteration process begins, you may ask for a quote as you are not obligated to use our services.

    We encourage Brides to budget $250- $650.00 for alterations. Cost of alterations vary from gown to gown and the amount of work that is needed. Please keep in mind the higher the cost the more customized the alterations are.

    Currently at the moment we don’t have the capacity to do alterations on gowns that are purchased “off-rack”. We do have a list of reliable seamstress that you may contact.
