We no longer have a maximum guest count for our appointments. Our couches comfortably seat 4-6 guests, so guests over and above this number may have to squish or stand for the duration of the appointment. We always recommend that you bring your key decision makers with you so that you can say YES! Want to book a private room? This will be subject to request and availability.

We are a small business and by appointment only, last minute cancellations and no-shows impact us. This also means another bride on our waitlist misses out on a spot they could have taken. Your card wilI be charged a non-refundable booking fee. If you cancel 72 hours in advance, your appointment will automatically be fully refunded to your original form of payment.

A quick note about guests, we kindly ask that only infants who are still in the carrier stage and are required to be with a guest at the appointment come to your appointment.

We recommend shopping and saying YES anywhere from 12-14 months before your wedding.
You will need 10-14 weeks for alterations before your big day too! It’s better to have more time before your big day! Also, don’t wait to call a seamstress until your gown comes in, call after you have said YES!

A trunk show is where a particular designer sends a collection of dresses to TMB for a limited period of time for brides to view additional styles, outside of what The Modern Bride has previously curated in the boutique. In some cases, you will be able to see the entire collection! Trunk shows are by appointment only and tend to book up quickly due to their only being here for a limited time, so book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment! On some occasions, with certain designers, there is a special offer of 10% your purchase during a trunk show.

Every designer is different! The average production time is 5-10 months, there are some rush options that you can choose from and we can go through those if you are working on a tight timeline.

YES! All dresses, no matter how you measure on the size chat will need little tweaks to make sure it fits like a glove. We don’t offer alterations in house, we leave that to the professionals. After you say YES to your dream dress, we will email you a list of our recommended seamstresses!

You’re human it happens, however we are unable to stop production of your gown or issue a refund. Dress regret happens sometimes, start by just giving us a call!

If you feel like the only option is to consign your dress once it arrives at TMB, we recommend Sixpence Bridal!
