What to Expect when you visit

We get it. Shopping for a wedding gown can be a really daunting task. At Finery, we want to take the stress out of gown shopping by providing you with the most custom gown shopping process in the area. Our hope is that you find a style that is yours and a gown that is unlike the others, all while having fun along the way. Have additional questions about your appointment with us? Please reach out! We want to make sure your mind is at ease before you even set foot in the boutique. Read below for some frequently asked questions.

What should i bring to my appointment?

We recommend bringing any undergarments that you plan on wearing on your wedding day. Unsure what that looks like? A good strapless bra and seamless underwear are a great place to start. We have a small selection of high heels to wear while you’re trying on gowns (but only if you want!).

IS THERE A CHARGE FOR AN APPOINTMENT AT FINERY?

Heck no! However, you’ll see that we require a credit card to reserve your appointment. Questions about that?…Just give us a jingle.

WHAT SIZES ARE YOUR SAMPLES?

Our gowns range in size from 10-26. We work hard to be size inclusive and have a good amount of plus size offerings. All of our designers have a range in sizing that makes it possible for every bride to have her dream dress, no matter her size. Specific questions on sizing? Just give us a ring. We’re happy to help!

How many guests can I bring?

We welcome brides to bring up to four guests along with them as they shop (bride + four). Please note that all guests must be over the age of 18, though babies needing to be bottle or breastfed are welcome. Our shop just isn’t set up for tiny people :)

Looking to bring more guests with you? Please give us a call or send an email to learn more about our “Chic” appointment!

Special Note:

**Please note that due to the nature of the use of the items we sell, all sales are final and we cannot accept returns. Thank you for your understanding :)

parking

We have a small parking lot in front of our building but additional (and FREE) street parking is located alongside our building on 11th Street NE!

WHAT HAPPENS IF I CAN’T MAKE IT TO MY APPOINTMENT?

We totally understand - stuff happens… schedules change, family members get sick - heck, even you get sick! Just give us a call and let us know if you won’t be able to make your appointment so we can open that time slot for another bride. **Please do note that appointments cancelled less than 48 hours in advance will be charged a small cancellation fee of $75. That goes for if you just don’t show up.

Why? Well, each week we have a list of brides who are on a wait list to come see us and when we have less than 48 hours notice (or no notice at all) that you won’t be able to make it to your appointment, we have a lesser chance of getting one of those other brides in your time slot. We so appreciate your cooperation with this policy. Don’t worry, when you make your appointment, we’ll remind you of how this works so you know the routine :)
