Occasions
is a privately owned bridal salon committed to making your experience
enjoyable and relaxing. We are a full service salon offering everything
from Bridal gowns to the finishing touch tiara.
1) Come visit our salon during
our business hours Tuesday through Saturday call us for an appointment
today.
2) Our dresses are available
for your perusal and our friendly staff will assist you in trying on as
many
dresses as you like. We often have one sample size of each dress style
in our
store but we can special order any dress in the size and color offered
by the
manufacturer as long as the dress has not been discontinued. The
average
delivery time of special order dresses is approximately 16
weeks. Rush
cuts and super rush cuts between 6 and 8 weeks are often available at
an
additional cost.
3) Upon selecting a special
order dress, we will take your measurements to help in ordering the
appropriate
size. We measure the largest part the bust, the smallest part of the
waist and
the largest part of the hips, along with a "hollow to hem"
measurement when necessary. A hollow to hem measurement is
done by
measuring from the hollow of your neck to the hem of the garment to
determine
if extra length is needed. After
checking the manufacturer's sizing chart, we are happy to recommend a
dress
size to be ordered.
4) Once your dress size and
color have been determined your dress is now ready to be ordered! We
will
require a MINIMUM 50% non-refundable partial payment is required to
secure your order for your dress, headpiece, shoes
and/or jewelry. Upon receipt of the deposit, your order will be placed
with the
manufacturer and we will be given an approximate ship date. This is the
approximate date that the dress is to be shipped from the manufacturer
to our
store. It could take up to two weeks from the approximate ship date to
arrive
at our store.
5) Your dress arrives at
the store! A courtesy call is immediately placed to let you know that
your
dress has arrived. At this time we would like you to come in to the
store to
try on your dress. Often alterations are needed on the hem or to take
the bust,
waist, and/or hips in to make a perfect fit! You should plan to pay for
the
balance on your dress in full at this time.
6) If alterations are
required for that perfect fit and you would like to have this service
done via
our referral, we will provide you with the name and phone number of our
tailor/seamstress. You may then give her a call to get aquainted and
receive
information regarding her services and scheduling. Early
scheduling,
approximately 2 months prior to the event, will ensure convenient
appointments
for you and timely fittings. In addition, the undergarments
and shoes you
choose to wear with your gown will be required for your fittings.
You are now on your way!
