SHOPPING
Price Range
Our made-to-order gowns range from $1,800 to $5,500.
Our off-the-rack selection varies, but typically start around $1,000 and go up from there.
When To Start Shopping
Most wedding gowns take 4-7 months to come in, and the alterations process typically takes 2-3 months, depending on the amount of work. We recommend you order your gown 8-10 months before your wedding!
Gown Sizing
Wedding gown sizes typically run one or two sizes smaller than street clothes, so try not to get hung up on the number. Do not fixate on the actual size but instead on how your measurements compare to the particular line on the specific designer’s size chart.
APPOINTMENTS
Appointment Types
◦ Classic appointment: You are on a mission to find the one!
◦ Return appointment: I’ve found the gown with y’all and I’m ready to say yes!
◦ Viewing appointment: Come and get your feet wet! Find your favorites to say “Yes!” at a future time! I’m in the beginning stages of shopping and I’m just looking for ideas! Strongly recommended for Thursdays!
Appointment Policy
Friday through Sunday appointments require a $50 fee that goes towards your purchase
during the weekend of your appointment!
Monday through Thursday appointments don’t require a fee.
**Viewing appointments are strongly recommended Monday- Thursday**
Our weekend experience includes mimosas for you and your party!
Please inquire during your phone consultation if you want to enhance your experience during the week!
Appointment Duration
Our bridal appointments are an hour and a half. During your appointment you are able to try an average of 10-12 gowns and we leave time at the end to retry on favorite gowns with accessories.
Note- Please arrive to your appointment 5-10 minutes early and make sure to allow time for parking.
Guest Policy
We know it’s the most important dress you’ll ever wear, and you want to make sure it’s absolutely perfect. But having 10 different opinions makes it much harder to come to a consensus—and it can bring you farther away from what you actually want. We ask that no more than 5 additional guests accompany you to your bridal appointment. Please let the stylist know your guest number when you book your appointment so we can accommodate everyone.
Sample & Stock Options
You can definitely purchase a gown “off-the-rack,” which means you’ll be purchasing a sample that has been previously tried on. These gowns are in excellent condition and are typically reduced in price.
We also have some manufacturers that have extremely quick rush options, or some stock options!
Give us a call, preferably on a weekday, so we can be as thorough as possible!
BUYING
The Next Steps
When you are ready to order the gown of your dreams, there are a few steps to follow:
– We take your body measurements.
– We decide on a size, and discuss any special changes that may be required for the best fit.
– All necessary paperwork is completed and the gown is paid for.
Payment Options
We require accessories and off-the-rack items to be paid for in full. We offer a 70% dress deposit with a $50 finance fee, that is split into two payments. Once the dress comes into the store you would pay your remaining balance.
Gown Arrival Time
Depending on the manufacturer and custom changes, the gowns could take anywhere from 4-7 months to arrive.
ALTERATIONS
La Raine’s Boutique has lists of seamstresses in the area that we are able to provide.
Please note, alterations are not included in the price of your gown.
SHIPPING
Yes, we can ship your gown to you anywhere in the continental United States!
