Bridal FAQs
Are appointments required?
For Saturday's you must book an appointment in advance as we are typically fully booked and do not have enough space or staff to accommodate brides without one. During our weekdays (Tuesday through Friday) we can generally accommodate walk-ins as long as we have a stylist and dressing room available.
Are bridal appointments complimentary?
Yes, our Initial Bridal Gown Appointments are free. However, if you are scheduling a VIB (Very Important Bride) private appointment then the cost is $150.
How many guests can I bring?
Our fitting rooms can accommodate six guests plus the bride comfortably. If you plan to bring more than that, please let us know ahead of time and we'll adjust the seating arrangements.
How long will I have for my bridal appointment?
Our Initial Bridal Gown Appointments generally last an hour and a half. Our VIB appointments last two hours.
When should I expect my dress to come in?
We recommend ordering your dress 12 months in advance to ensure you have plenty of time to get alterations/ a bustle done on your dress before your wedding. Currently, our designer dresses are taking 8+ months to arrive.
What should I do now that I've purchased my dress?
If you are needing alterations or a bustle put in, reach out to a seamstress to book an appointment. Consider your bridal accessories (veil & jewelry) to match your dress. The week of your wedding consider having your dress steamed. We offer streaming services here at Mara. Visit our Dress Services page for more information.
Do you sell dresses off-the-rack?
Yes, you can purchase a dress off-the-rack. This is a great option for brides who have a shorter timeline!
