1. SHOULD I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT BEFORE I COME TO LOOK AT WEDDING GOWNS?  

Yes.  At Danelle’s Bridal we do not permit self-service. Every future bride is assigned a personal consultant that will wait on her alone. We do accommodate walk-ins but appointments are always given preference.  *Weekdays after 5pm, as well as on weekends, we HIGHLY recommend appointments* 

Please call 719-593-0020 to schedule your appointment today! 

2.  WHAT ARE THE PRICES OF YOUR GOWNS?

Our bridal gown prices range from $400 - $1,200.  Gowns in our Couture Pavilion range from $1,250 - $3,000. 

3.  ARE ALL THE WEDDING GOWNS AT DANELLE’S BRIDAL “IN STOCK” AND READY TO TAKE HOME RIGHT AWAY IF I WANT TO?

We carry both “in stock” gowns as well as special order gowns.  It should be noted that these styles could change on a regular basis. Danelle’s stocks a nice selection of stock and sample gowns but has a much larger special order division.

4.  SHOULD I BRING IN PICTURES FROM MAGAZINES OR THE INTERNET OF GOWNS I LIKE?

Yes, Yes, Yes. BUT, we strongly advise that you remember two things: First, the models used by the bridal designers average 6’ tall and wear a size 4.  So unless you are this tall and wear a size 4, the gowns may not look the same on you. THIS IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO TRY ON SEVERAL STYLES AND SEE YOURSELF IN THE GOWN BEFORE YOU BUY IT.

The second thing you should know is that many designers sell gowns that are not advertised in the magazines and are not available online. Danelle’s carries a beautiful collection of unadvertised, “one of a kind,” designer gowns, gowns that tend to look better on “normal” sized women, so BRING AN OPEN MIND. It has been our experience that when many women see themselves in a pictured gown they thought they loved they exclaim, “Gee, I thought it would be more exciting.” But, when they try on a gown style they had not even considered before, they go crazy over how good it makes them feel. You should also know that when a bride brings in a picture of a gown she likes, 70% of the time we either have that exact same dress or one that is very similar.

5.  CAN I GET A CATALOG OF THE WEDDING GOWNS YOU CARRY?

Unfortunately, it’s impossible for Danelle’s Bridal to publish a catalog. This is because our styles and the wedding gowns we have available frequently change.  We do have selected designer catalogs in the store for your viewing. 

6. WHAT IF I FIND THE GOWN OF MY DREAMS AND I’M NOT READY TO BUY IT YET? (I’m not ready financially or I want my mom to see it.) CAN YOU HOLD or STORE THE GOWN FOR ME?

Sorry, we can’t. Danelle’s’ Bridal usually has only one of each gown (with a few exceptions).  If you find one of our “in-stock” gowns is the gown of your dreams, you should think seriously about purchasing it that day as it could be sold off the rack at any time. That is why we suggest that before you set an appointment you ask yourself, “If I found the wedding gown of my dreams in my budget, can I buy it today?” If the answer is no, just schedule a tour so you won’t fall in love with any one gown. It’s best to be ready at Danelle's Bridal by bringing your mom or whoever you want with you. That way when you find the perfect dress, you won’t have to leave it behind. We do have a lay-a-way plan

7.  WHAT ARE YOUR PAYMENT PLANS WHEN I FIND MY PERFECT GOWN?

To purchase a stock/sample gown, usually full payment is required.  However, special arrangements can be made when necessary.  All special order gowns require a 50% non-refundable deposit.  Shipping times for special order gowns average 3 – 6 months.  Once the gown arrives in our store the balance is due within 2 weeks.  We do accept payments after the order is placed until the gown arrives.  Gowns must be paid in full prior to any alterations.

PAYMENT TYPES INCLUDE: All credit cards, cash and cashier checks.  We do not accept personal checks on final payments.  Gowns must be paid in full prior to any alterations.

8.   HOW IS DANELLE’S BRIDAL DIFFERENT FROM OTHER BRIDAL STORES?

There are three BIG differences.

* First, although both Danelle's Bridal and the big chain both stock wedding gowns, the big chain store manufactures its own dresses at their factory, i.e. all the wedding gowns “they” sell were made by them (not designers). At Danelle’s we carry only designer gowns within a wide range of prices. 

* The second BIG difference is that the chain stores have “fixed styles for the season”. This means that for the most part their dress styles don’t change during the year. They can even give you a catalog because they are selling the same gowns over and over. At Danelle's Bridal we don’t have “fixed styles”. Our wedding gown styles and inventory change frequently. The benefit to you, our customer, is that if you don’t find the gown of your dreams on your first visit, just come back in a few weeks and you WILL see new and different ‘in stock” wedding gowns.  

* The biggest difference is that at Danelle’s, we pride ourselves on excellent customer service, making your bridal experience enjoyable.

9.  DOES DANELLE'S BRIDAL DO ALTERATIONS “ON SITE”?

Yes, we have two seamstresses that provide on-site fittings.  One seamstress is a master seamstress and both, individually, have over 20 years of experience in the bridal industry.  We recommend having the alterations done six weeks prior to your event.  Any alterations done in less than 4 weeks will require a rush charge.  You should plan to BRING THE SHOES you will be wearing with the dress – along with any undergarments.  We do carry a full line of slips and other accessories to complete your ensemble. 

Alteration appointments are available Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.  To schedule your appointment, please call us at 719-593-0020.
