Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions and answers about your Lorie's Bridal Gallery Experience!

Do you carry plus-size gowns?

Absolutely! We carry a variety of sizes in our store, there is something here for everyone!

Do you alter gowns in store?

While our Gallery does not alter gowns in house, we partner with several local seamstresses who are incredibly talented and we would be glad to give you a recommendation.

Do I need an appointment to shop?

While appointments are always encouraged, our Gallery is open every Friday and Saturday and Sunday for walk-ins. We do however require appointments for week-day shopping. Unfortunately, due to several no shows over the past few months, we now require a $35.00 deposit for all appointments.  This fee will be applied to your purchase.  if you are a no show, you will lose this fee.  Thank you for understanding.

What should I bring with me for my appointment?

We recommend you wear or bring skin colored under garments, shoes are not necessary when trying on gowns and all other accessories can be found in-store to complete your look. We do not however discourage our customers from bringing anything they feel will make their experience more successful. 

Can I invite friends and family to join me during my appointment? 

Of course! Lorie's Bridal Gallery is a strong believer in celebrating your big moments with those that love you most! While we recommend limiting your group to 5 or fewer individuals, we ask that if you plan to bring more you schedule a private appointment, to ensure we can accommodate everyone!
Disclaimer: We do not recommend bringing toddlers and children into the Gallery. Our main concern is the safety hazards for children on the floor such as pushing mirrors, fragile decor, falling mannequins, and damaged merchandise. 
Our goal is to provide an exceptional experience for all of our brides in every way possible.
