First Look Information

Congratulations, your dress has arrived to our shop!

Please take a moment to read these helpful tips for your ‘First Look’ Appointment:

  • Prepping for the appointment:

    • Please do not get a spray tan the week of your appointment. We do not want anything to rub off on your gown

    • Please do not wear heavy makeup to this appointment, we want to keep your gown clean!

    • Bring with you any undergarments or shoes you are thinking of wearing (though this is not necessary!)

    • Be prepared to pay your remaining balance

  • When you arrive:

    • We will ask you and your guests to remove your shoes. We want to keep your dress clean!

    • You will be assigned a consultant who will escort you to your appointment space and ask a few questions

  • During the Appointment:

    • Your consultant will discuss the fit of the gown and what to expect during alterations

    • This is the perfect time to try on accessories - veils, shoes, jewelry. Remember, all Lily Brides receive a 10% discount on additional purchases for their wedding!

  • At the end of your Appointment:

    • Your remaining balance will be due as well as payment on any new accessories

    • We will go over our “fit notes” and provide you with a list of local Alteration Specialists

    • You are welcome to take your gown with you, or we can store it for you, free of charge, for up to one year

    *As part of our services we offer free steaming of your gown upon its arrival.  You may find that it will need additional touch-ups after alterations.  We are happy to provide a second steaming for a discounted fee
