The Details
Everything you need to know before your visit, from appointments and gown timelines to fittings, alterations, and ordering.
-
To ensure the most personalized and memorable experience at Always Couture, appointments are highly recommended. Booking in advance allows us to dedicate one-on-one time with you and your guests, provide a more intimate styling experience, and offer access to our exclusive bespoke couture gown collections.
Walk-ins are always welcome and will be accommodated whenever availability allows, but if you’re looking for a dedicated, uninterrupted experience, we encourage you to reserve your appointment in advance.
-
We recommend beginning your gown search at least eight months before your wedding. Each gown is created to order, and production timelines vary depending on the design, fabrics, and detailing. Rush commissions may be possible depending on your wedding date and material availability.
-
Because our gowns are bespoke and crafted to your individual measurements, we are proud to accommodate brides of all sizes.
Our boutique sample gowns currently range from sizes 6–16. However, our experienced stylists are skilled at helping you envision the fit, silhouette, and proportions of each design, regardless of the sample size available. With expert styling and a little couture finesse, we can help you discover the gowns and silhouettes that make you feel your most beautiful and confident.
-
Alterations are available through our in-house sister company, Always Alterations, located within the boutique.
We offer professional alterations for wedding gowns, special occasion dresses, menswear, and everyday clothing. We also welcome gowns purchased from other boutiques and retailers.
For bespoke gowns created by Always Couture, minor alterations within the scope of the original design are included in the gown’s price. Changes that go beyond the original design or significant changes in the bride’s measurements may incur additional charges. Alterations for off-the-rack gowns and garments purchased elsewhere are priced separately.
We recommend scheduling alterations within 10 weeks of your event to help ensure the best possible fit.
