Measurements
Once you have found the perfect dress and are ready to place an order, Exquisite Brides will carefully take all appropriate measurements to ensure the best possible fit, according to the designers size chart. A size will be recommended by EB staff. If in between sizes, it is best to go up in size. As a full service bridal boutique, Exquisite Brides offers alterations to ensure a perfect fit.

Ordering Your Gown
Once the selection process has been made, the gown is ordered from it's designer. Since most gowns
are handmade, the arrival of your gown may take anywhere from 4 to 6 months depending on the designer. Due to the fluid nature of custom designed Wedding Gowns, it is possible that some available styles can be discontinued by their designers without notice. For this reason, Exquisite Brides recommends that once you find a style that you love, it becomes prudent to order it as soon as possible. Upon ordering, a deposit will be required in the form of cash, check, or credit card. The balance is due upon arrival of the gown.
Gown Arrival and Fittings
Once the gown arrives at our boutique, our staff will inspect the garment to ensure that it has arrived in pristine condition, and has been shipped according to the original order. The bride will then receive a phone call from our staff, and will be notified of her gowns arrival. At this point, the bride will schedule a custom fitting appointment. While it is possible to arrange ‘rush’ fittings, it is important to remember that custom fittings can take several weeks to complete.
