Special order on bridal gowns are about 3-6 months depending on the manufacturer. Your gown should be ordered 6-8 months before your wedding date however, some manufacturers offer a rush cut for an additional charge ($30 - $75). There is also the option of checking stock with the manufacture. This can be risky since your size or color choice may not be available. Therefore you will have to settle and then have to do alterations.
How long does it take for bridesmaid dresses to be ordered?
A. Bridesmaid dresses usually take 8-15 weeks for delivery depending on the manufacturer.
Why should the bridesmaids dresses be ordered all together?
A. Bridesmaid dresses are ordered all together so that they are all out of the same dye lot and all match. If the dresses were ordered individually they could arrive all a different shade and may not arrive all together.
At AnnMaries the dresses are all ordered together once all the bridesmaids have been in and have been measured. This insures that all the dresses arrive at the same time and are done in the same dye lot.

Should I purchase my dress off the Internet?
We have received many calls from frantic brides asking us for our help because a gown they have ordered over the Internet was not an authentic Maggie Sottero gown, was the wrong color, was damaged or the wrong size. Buying gowns on the Internet for a discount is a gamble. In every case each bride wished they had bought the gown from a retailer. They would have saved a lot of heartache and money in the long run. Maggie Sottero supports full service brick and mortar bridal salons because we know they will provide you with the service you deserve." ~ Maggie Sottero Bridal
Buying your bridal gown is the most important dress you will ever purchase and then anticipate the day which it will be worn.
This is a very special day in your life and should be a memorable experience - trying on many dresses is part of the experience. I like to have the girls try on dresses which are completely opposite of which they are looking for example - Bride looking for a gown with sleeves - we end with trying on a strapless just to let her see what it looks like.
Personal attention, by people who care about you and your special day is what you will get at AnnMarie's Brides Beautiful. This is what you need not a computer screen, its so virtual. So at your leisure search the web - then come to us the expert in weddings - we want to be apart of your memorable day. ~ AnnMarie

How do I restore/clean my wedding gown?
Whatever you do. Do not put your gown in a box in the attic - you'll open that box years from now to find yellowing, mold and deeply creased fabrics that refuse to resume the gown's former shape. Fortunately, there are gown preservation specialists who carefully clean wedding gowns, then specially package them for maximum protection.
Have AnnMarie's Brides Beautiful a Wedding Gown Preservation Company Authorized Dealer take care of your gown. We'll clean and press the entire gown, then package it between acid-free tissue paper and seal it in an acid-free, custom-made box. In the meantime, wrap it is a clean white sheet and store it in a cool dark place, such as under the bed or in the closet.
