Yes. Convenient free parking is available directly in front of the boutique (meters are not enforced/off). A large parking lot is also available behind the shop at Mike's Grocery Store, with a convenient, well-lit side walkway. 

​

WHEN TO START WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING?

Our made to order dresses takes 4-6 months to ship. Brides should factor in 2-3 additional months for alterations. We suggest shopping at least 8-12 months prior to the wedding date. This allows time to find the perfect dress, undergarments, shoes, and accessories as well as the appropriate time for alterations to avoid rushing or rush fees. However, we're always able to accommodate all short time frames working with our designers and offering sample sale and off the rack. 

​​

SAMPLE SALE dresses are purchased OFF THE RACK 25%-90% off for brides on the budget and/or little time to shop. Either call to speak to a representative or schedule an appointment for weddings less than 6 months away. We have accommodated brides less than 30 days.
