Frequently Asked Questions
Do brides buy their dress at their 1st appointment?
Yes! Since all of our dresses are available to go home with you the same day, it’s best to be prepared to purchase your gown. Our collection is ever changing. We may not receive the same dress twice. When it’s love at first sight you know it’s right.
I need a last minute wedding dress – can you help with that?
Beauty, we got you! Because all of our wedding dresses are sold from our collection, you can take your wedding dress home with you the same day you shop, making our bridal store perfect for last minute weddings and elopements! To make life easier, we sell accessories like veils, headpieces, belts and jewelry, making us a one-stop-shop for your big day!
Do I need an appointment to go wedding dress shopping?
Yep! We want to make wedding dress shopping super easy, so you can book your preferred day and time right on our website 24/7 (since we know you’re planning your wedding while doing that late-night surfing!).
Do you offer a payment plan on your wedding dresses?
Yes! With a 25% deposit, we have a great package that lets you store your wedding dress with us and make payments on it for up to 90 days!
Do you offer a return or exchange policy on your wedding dresses?
For our brides that are indecisive or worried about their purchase, we offer a super easy 14 day exchange option for wedding dresses that haven’t been worn, damaged or altered.

How many people can I bring to my wedding dress shopping appointment?

Can I take pictures during my wedding dress shopping appointment?
You better! Wedding dress shopping should be super fun and we hope you’ll capture every moment from laughter to happy tears! We’re happy to help you get just the right angle for your photos, too! We even love to be tagged on social!
Do you offer wedding dress alterations?
We’re so busy helping brides find an amazing wedding dress that we don’t have time to do alterations! But we’ll help hook you up with some local alterations professionals who specialize in bridal gowns!
Do you charge for wedding dress shopping appointments?
We don’t charge to shop for a wedding dress in our bridal store! Our system does require a credit card to hold your reservation with an Ivoryologist, and there’s a $50 late cancellation/no-show fee if you don’t cancel 48 hours or more before your appointment. But you’re so excited to find your wedding dress that you’d never stand us up, right?
Are children allowed in your bridal store?
We love kids, just not yours. Kidding! But for real, it’s super hard to keep the focus on the bride with littles running around, so infants in car seats are welcome but those who are more mobile should be left at home.
Do I need to tip my bridal consultant?
Our Ivoryologists work hard to make your wedding dress shopping experience memorable and welcome tips (cash, or on your credit card, Venmo, small gifts, hugs and smiles!) but it is never required!
What do I need to wear to my wedding dress shopping appointment?
You do you! Some brides dress up with hair and makeup done, while others dress more comfy. We recommend bringing a strapless bra, and undies are always required; we look forward to helping our brides into our wedding dresses.
Are you LGBTQ+ inclusive?
Of course! We welcome ALL brides. Love is love at Ivoryology. If you’d like to discuss your particular wedding dress shopping concerns, please call to speak with a manager.
