Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an appointment?
We do not require appointments and are open to the public Monday through Saturday. The only times an appointment is required is on a Friday evening, Sunday or for alterations. We now accept appointments for Friday evenings between 5 and 7 p.m. and all day Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Appointments fill up fast so call in advance to schedule a time to shop.
When should I begin shopping for gowns?
We recommend shopping for both bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses about 8 to 12 months before your wedding date. Gowns are continuously being discontinued and prices increased, so we always recommend ordering as soon as you have found your dream dress.
How long will it take my gown to arrive after it is ordered?
Both bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses take 16 to 24 weeks on average to arrive at Eva's Bridal after ordering. Bridal gown orders containing custom changes, special measurements or lengths take about 24 weeks to arrive. Gowns are sent directly from the manufacturer to our store, where our staff individually inspects each gown making sure it meets with Eva's Bridal Center's high standards. The bride is notified immediately when her gown and bridesmaid dresses arrive. We are able to 'rush' the delivery of gowns with an additional fee from the manufacturer under special circumstances. However, we do recommend ordering your bridal gown and bridesmaid dresses 8 to 12 months prior to your wedding date to allow time for delivery, alterations, and selection of accessories to match.
What is the average price of a bridal gown?
At Eva's Bridal Center we have a large selection of bridal gowns ranging in price from $99 to $2800.
How do I order my gown?
After you select your gown we make the ordering process as simple as possible. We only require half of the original price to order. The remaining balance of the gown is due 2 weeks after the gown arrives at our store from the manufacturer. Also at the time of ordering we take your measurements and recommend a size for best fit. Ultimately you choose what size you feel most comfortable ordering, along with what color and length you desire.
Can I order a style I don't see in your store?
Absolutely! We carry only a portion of our hundreds of designers' collections in store and are able to order hundreds more gown styles. Saw your gown somewhere else? No problem! We can order it for you and guarantee the lowest price possible!
How soon should I start my alterations?
Bridal gown alterations should be started 2 months before the wedding. Bridesmaids, Social Occasion, and Prom should be started 4 to 6 weeks before the event date. Appointments fill up quickly so please call in advance for an appointment.
What is required for my first fitting?
For all alteration appointments you will need to bring the shoes you will be wearing for the occasion and the proper undergarments. Before starting any alterations, the gown must be paid in full. Also half of the alteration charges will be due at the end of the first fitting.
