1. Schedule Your Private Appointment
We’re fortunate enough to be one of the most in-demand bridal shops in St. Petersburg. Because of this, we operate by appointment only to ensure that you receive our undivided attention during your 90-minute session.
This exclusive time is reserved to provide a serene environment for you and your guests to explore our curated collection in privacy. Book online or over the phone to secure your VIP shopping experience.

2. Prepare for Your Visit
- DO wear nude undergarments, Spanx, or high-waisted underwear to help you envision the dresses more accurately.
- DON’T wear a bra and shoes. Our gowns provide support and are best tried on barefoot.
- DO bring along up to four (4) guests whose opinions you value.

3. Collaborate with Your Personal Stylist
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a dedicated stylist who will take your measurements before guiding you through the selection process. They’ll discuss your wedding vision, style preferences, and budget to identify options that align with your unique taste.
Crafted by some of the most popular designers in the world, our gowns vary creatively in style, color, and material. Even better, our inclusive collection features dresses and plus-size wedding gowns in sizes ranging from 4 to 28.
This ensures that we offer something that fits your vision and flatters your beautiful body.

4. Discover Your Perfect Dress
In the privacy of our fitting area, you’ll try on a selection of gowns curated just for you. We encourage an open mind — many brides are surprised by the styles they fall in love with!
Your stylist will be there to assist with fittings, provide honest feedback, and ensure you feel beautiful in every dress you try. Communicate with them clearly so they can narrow down their suggestions to your perfect fit.

5. Celebrate Your Choice
Once you’ve found “the one,” we’ll guide you through the next steps, including measurements, ordering, and timelines. You might be able to take your gown home that very day!
