Yes. Our appointments are more than just that: they're an experience. In order to ensure you have a dedicated space and stylist to guide you through the experience you deserve, we do require appointments.

We charge an appointment fee of $25. This allows us to personalize your appointment and offer a selection of amenities for the comfort of you and your guests. This appointment fee is credited towards your wedding dress purchase with us.

Appointments cancelled prior to 48 hours before the start time may receive a refund for the appointment fee. Late cancellations and no-shows are subject to the fee, as it is incredibly difficult to fill our limited spots on such short notice.

Providing brides with an unforgettable experience, with a set of amenities along the way that ensure you will feel pampered at every step is costly. We’ll start the bride and their party off with a complimentary glass of champagne or other non-alcoholic beverage, as well as robe & slippers for the bride's use during the appointment. We're equipped with almost anything the bride may need for a successful appointment like hair ties, shape wear on loan, deodorant, and much more.

We want all of our brides to feel as comfortable and beautiful as possible during the appointment. We recommend wearing flesh-toned undergarments. If you have any shapewear or undergarments that you plan to wear on your wedding day, bring those with as well.

As for footwear, if you’ve already picked a pair of shoes or have a pair that are the same heel height as what you’ll be wearing on the day of the event, bring those with you! We don’t recommend fitting gowns with them but once you’ve picked out your favorite dress and you’re ready to say “yes,” the shoes add the perfect touch to really capture the final look!

Should you choose to invite guests along for your gown shopping experience, we suggest bringing a small group of 5 or less guests who know your sense of style and will support the choices that you love! Having too many guests can often be distracting and overwhelming, especially if their sense of style doesn’t align with yours.

Remember–this is your special day, and choosing a gown that ultimately makes you look and feel your best will make your loved ones happy as well!

While we love a good party, we believe brides are best catered to during appointments with 5-6 guests or less. Our MaidenWhite showroom suites can accommodate 5-7 guests including the bride. Our Semi-Private fitting suite can accommodate 2-3 guests.

We also offer Luxe Appointments which are a great alternative for larger parties looking to join for the experience!

While we strive to offer all of our brides a one-of-a-kind experience, our Luxe appointments are an excellent way to offer an extra level of dedicated service that is truly unmatched.


During a 2 hour appointment, our bride and bride’s guest will have private access to the entire showroom. A dedicated bridal stylist will be with the party for the duration of the appointment to help you find the dress of your dreams! We also include an assortment of celebratory drinks and snacks tailored to your liking.


Luxe appointments begin at $350 during weekdays, $500 for weekend appointments, and range depending on guest count and selected menu. Contact us for more detailed information and menus.

If you have your heart set on 1 or 2 dresses not in-store from a designer that we're partnered with, we can often get that gown temporarily loaned for your appointment. If it’s available, we require a deposit ranging from $100 - $350 per gown (depending on that specific designer's loan and shipment fee) which will be credited towards your gown purchase with us.

In a perfect world, the bride would shop and order their dress 1 year in advance. At the very least: plan on shopping for your dress 8-9 months before your wedding date. Beautiful, hand-made gowns take time! Production time for gowns can take anywhere from 4-7 months, and allow at least 6-8 weeks for alterations. For brides with time constraints, rush orders may be an option with some designers for an additional fee. In some cases, floor stock samples may be purchased for immediate take home. Ask one of our team members for more information and we would be happy to assist you!

If you’ve never been wedding gown shopping before, this might come as a bit of a shock: most bridal sample sizes in store are 10-12. While things rings true for us as well, we are constantly working to bring in sizes outside of this range, and even sometimes carry 2 sizes of our favorites. We carry some gowns in sizes 2-4 all the way up to 20-22. As bridal sizing often varies greatly from street sizing, check out our Standardized Size Chart as well as the individual designer page as a starting point.


Our stylists will work their magic to help you visualize what the final product will look like. We will then take your measurements and order a dress in the size best suited to you!

As a full service Bridal Salon, we are thrilled to be able to offer our brides in-house alterations with one of our talented seamstresses. Appointments are required, and quotes for cost must be done in person in order for one of our tailors to assess the level of time and work required to complete your requests. You can read more about the alterations process here.

A trunk show is a sales event that MaidenWhite hosts with the collaboration of a designer to showcase many, if not the entire new collection of gowns. It’s a great way to see gowns that we don’t normally carry, so if you’re in love with a particular designer, booking an appointment during their trunk show dates is the best way to see the full spectrum of gowns. It’s additionally a great way to be the first bride to wear a new and exclusive style for your wedding, because trunk show collections usually aren’t available for in-store purchase until several months after the event.

We also also often able to offer a variety of discounts and/or purchase incentives during these events! Trunk show dates and availability are very limited because brides love to get in during these events, so if there’s one you’re eyeing attending, we suggest booking your appointment right away!

MaidenWhite generally hosts 2 sample sales per year. In order to make room for new, incoming collections, we host sales events where select floor models become available for off-the-rack purchase. We offer deep discounts on these gowns (this varies, but you can expect to find gowns that will be discounted anywhere from 20% – 80% and sometimes more)! Sizes generally range from 8-12 US (which equates to about 6-10 US street size) but occasionally we do have options outside of this size range. Sample sale gowns are sold in as-is condition.


This is a really great option for brides looking to get a discount, or who have tight time constraints that might require an immediate solution for a wedding dress purchase.

Appointments FAQ

As much as we love kiddos, we ask that children under the age of 8 stay home to ensure that all of our brides in the store have a peaceful & relaxing environment. We also have many breakable items in store that makes this environment unsafe for young ones.

Outside food & beverage (other than water) is generally not allowed, especially as many items can stain our gowns. We have a selection of complimentary beverages available during your appointment. Should you have a specific champagne or non-alcoholic alternative you’d like to bring, please inform our team ahead of time and we will do our absolute best to accommodate.

Bridal appointments are 90 minutes. This is the sweet spot: just enough time to try on gowns and narrow to your favorite one before saying “YES” to the one, but not so long that you’ll be overwhelmed and hangry. It happens to the best of us.

 

Shoes & Accessories appointments are 1 hour.

 

Luxe Appointments are 2 hours of uninterrupted time where you & your party will have the entire store to yourselves.
