Yes! We do require appointments so every client can experience the service they deserve. To inquire about availability, visit the 'Appointments' tab or call our shop at (205) 440-5068.

-We ask that you refrain from getting a spray tan or using sunless tan products within 72 hours of your appointment.

-Wear light makeup. We try hard to keep our sample gowns in the best condition for every bride!

-Set a budget, and don’t forget to include alterations. Alterations are not offered at our store and will be a separate charge from any dress/accessories bought at our store.

-Bring yourself and anyone you would want with you when you say, "Yes!" to a dress.

-Bring or wear light colored undergarments or spanx as our stylists will be helping you get in and out of each dress.

-Bring hair ties/claw clips for veils or accessories.

-Bring any wedding accessories you may already have (shoes, jewelry, etc.)

-Bring your most fun and supportive friends and family.

-Bring an OPEN MIND! Brides typically leave with a dress completely different from what they originally wanted.

Bring your most fun and supportive friends and family that you want there when you find your dream dress! It's hard to recreate the moment you try on your perfect dress so we highly encourage you bring anyone you want present when you find the one.

Though we love little ones, we ask that all guests are 10 years or older. Little ones require a lot of your attention and we want to make sure all of your guests can be present with you for this moment.

We allow each bride to bring up to 7 guests. If you would like to bring more than 7, please call the shop to inquire about availability.

Our gowns range from $1200-$3500. We recommend setting a budget before your appointment and sharing it with your stylist once you arrive.

Special order gowns can take 4-6 months to arrive. We recommend ordering your gown 10-12 months before your wedding to allow for delivery and alterations. Rush shipping is available for an additional fee.

We do NOT offer alterations at this time. However, we do have a list of recommended seamstresses. Ask your stylist during your appointment or call our shop for our list of recommendations.

We accept cash, card, and checks. We require a 50% deposit on your gown the day of your appointment. The remaining 50% will be due at your try-on appointment once your special order arrives.

Absolutely! We aren't open every Sunday, but we are happy to get you in whenever is best for you. To inquire about Sunday availability, please call or email us!

Cancellations must be made 24 hours prior to your appointment to avoid a $50 fee. To cancel or reschedule, please call our shop at (205) 440-5068 or send us an email fdvbridal@gmail.com.

If you are more than 20 minutes late to your appointment without prior notice, we consider this a no-show and the card on file will be charged with a $50 fee.

There is no cancellation fee for PICK-UP appointments.

Once we have received the shipping confirmation and tracking details from the designer, we will send you a text notifying you that your items are on the way. You will also receive a link to schedule your pick-up appointment.
Pick-up appointments are ONLY Tuesday-Friday. Please email or call us for Saturday and Sunday pick-up availability.
