Dresses can take up to 4-6 months to produce, since it is being made to order. When you factor in shipping and alterations, it could be a 7 month total process. We suggest deciding on a dress 7-9 months prior to your wedding date, so you have time built in for fittings and accessorizing. There are rush options & priority gowns for weddings under 6 months, but rush fees do apply.

Take some time to look through magazines and websites so you have a general idea of what you prefer in a wedding dress. This will help us get started in the selection process, although your consultant may also have some recommendations that you will love. It is helpful to bring undergarments of similar styles that you will wear on your wedding day, including strapless bras. Also bring heels of a height that you will wear for your wedding so you can get the complete picture when dress shopping.

We recommend that you limit your party to three or less during your visit at Chantilly Place. We are a cozy little boutique with limited seating and we have found that the opinions of a trusted few always make for an easier decision for you.

We like to order the dress as close to your current size as possible, but all bridal gowns need alterations to give it a perfect fit for your wedding day. We offer on site alterations so we'll be happy to assist you with any of your alterations needs. If you'd prefer you can take your gown elsewhere to be altered.

It is important to order all your bridesmaids dresses together so they are cut from the same bolt of fabric. If members of the party order late it is their responsibility to take care of any rush charges that will apply, not the store. With bridesmaids who are out of town, they can call us with their measurements that were take by a professional tailor or local bridal shop and place the order of the phone. Once we receive the dresses we notify the bride and it is the bride or a member of the wedding parties responsibility to pick up and ship the gowns to out of state members.
