THE EXPERIENCE

If you are looking for a weekend only we suggest making your appointment as far out as possible. We book out on weekends almost 2 months in advance. The earlier the better!

Underwear is required. We suggest wearing nude undergarments and a strapless bra, pasties or sticky cups. If you feel more comfortable and are planning on wearing Spanx under your dress then feel free to bring them.

Per Alice in Ivory policy, our gowns are to be handled by stylists only. Not only does this promote better sanitation, it ensures the quality, cleanliness & overall life span of our dresses. We want to ensure all brides can enjoy a sample that is accurately represented in color + construction to the best of our ability. Lastly, we rely on our stylists to ensure that all dresses are appropriate for you in budget, sizing + production timeline.

We recommend our brides to start shopping 10-12 months out from your wedding date. Most gowns take 5-6 months to produce and our seamstresses require 10-12 weeks for alterations. While dresses can be rushed on a shorter timeline, it is a much more expensive and stressful process.

Keep it intimate! Bride + 3 guest maximum. We ask this of our brides not only because our space is more intimate but also to keep in mind that this is a very vulnerable and personal moment. After years of running appointments, we have found more guests tend to take away from the moment, not add to it. Only bring the people that truly know your style and taste and if you are nervous about who to choose, don't be afraid to come alone! We will be your hype girls & can take any photos or videos you need.

We have two beautiful, intimate and private rooms for you and your guests. Room 1 is slightly larger than Room 2, but other than that there is no difference! Our guest policy remains bride + 3 guests in either room.

Samples range in bridal size 6-12 (regular dress size 6-8). We as a boutique try to invest in multiple sizing options as much as possible, however contact us directly if you have additional questions about a certain style/gown. If you are very petite or more curvy, know that samples will not fit perfectly + you will need to use your imagination a bit more with certain styles. As mentioned above, make sure to be thoughtful with your guest selection and bring people who you know will make you feel most beautiful!

No, we will order you a new gown based on your measurements and the designer's size chart, and from there it will take 5-8 months to arrive as they are made to order.

Yes, all sales are final. You can pay in full as well, but you don’t have to. We require a 60% deposit with the remaining balance due when the dress arrives.

Your gown should come in fitting nicely, but alterations will still be necessary to get that perfect fit. We do not offer alterations at our boutique, nor are they included in the price of the gown. We have great recommendations in the city.
