bridal appointments

Dress appointments 1.5 hours. If you are doing an alteration fitting that will take about 1 hour.

Its best to allow 4-6 months before your wedding to order a dress. That means you will want to start shopping at least 6 months in advance.

Most of the dresses sold at Elite Dress Bridal are special-order. A special-order dress is made specifically for you by the designer, based on the measurements we take from you, the designer then uses their size chart that is closest to your measurements to create your dress. In most cases an alteration is necessary to fit the dress to your body shape and height.

Yes, almost every gown at Elite can be customized for an additional fee. Please, consider booking an appointment with our wedding dress and fashion designer.

Our prices start at $1,500 and range up to $8,000. On average our bridal gowns are in the $2,000- $4,000 price range. Off-the-rack samples run on sale from 20 to 60 percent off.

Most of our sample dresses are in the wedding dress size 14. Please note that a wedding dress size 14 is equivalent to a street size 10. Our consultants are experts at clipping and pinning to ensure great fit. Overall, we carry size 4-20.

Once you have chosen your dress, your bridal consultant takes 3 or more measurements typically, bust, waist, and hips. The dress is ordered from the designer according to your largest measurement, then to ensure the perfect fit our seamstress will alter the dress at your fitting appointments.

Please be sure to bring the following: budget parameters, pictures of dress inspiration, any bridal accessories like shoes or veil (if you already have them), proper undergarments (if you plan on wearing spanks or strapless bra, please bring them) and most importantly don’t forget to bring an open mind! Do not be surprised if you find “the dress” on your first visit to Elite Dress.

Besides a few private label designers our wedding dress and fashion designer Nata Bindas created her own wedding gowns collection now available at Elite Dress Bridal boutique. While working on wedding dresses design, Nata considered all the details the brides were looking to have on their dress. She took into account multicultural differences and preferences of each ethnic group.
