STYLIST TIP We have a great selection of returnable dresses, allowing you to purchase multiple sizes and return what doesn’t work.

“HEY, HANDSOME!” We’ve got a few little rules you should abide by when it comes to menswear, to make sure all of your guys are looking aisle-ready.

Tuxedo or suit rentals are great for men who just don’t need to wear one regularly.

Oftentimes, it’s much cheaper to rent than buy.

Suspenders, bow-ties, skinny ties and other mens accessories are the perfect way to show off your Groom’s personal style and make for great gifts for the groomsmen.

3 Groomsmen don’t have to exactly match your bridesmaids, just as long as they are complementary in style and vibe!

STYLIST TIP All dress orders are reviewed by a stylist to make sure that you chose the right size based on the measurements you provided. If we think that you have not chosen the appropriate size, we will reach out to you!

DO IT YOURSELF

BRIDESMAID BOUQUET STEP 1: Prepare your petals by removing all leaves and thorns from the stems and laying them out with the flowers facing you.

STEP 2: Start with a large flower for the center and, with blooms still facing you, turn the bouquet as you add flowers so the bouquet builds in a spiral formation.

STEP 3: When you’re happy with the size and shape, wrap stems tightly in waterproof floral tape and trim the ends to the desired length.

STYLIST TIP We recommend that you purchase any special order dress 16 weeks before the wedding date.
