Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s answer your most frequently asked questions about wedding dresses and our wedding dress shop!
When should I make an appointment to find my wedding dress with you? How long do dresses take to come in?
The best time to make your appointment is when you’re ready to find your wedding dress! Dresses take 4-6 months to come in and you want to leave 2-3 months for alterations. So, 9-12 months before your wedding date is a great time but we have brides who find their dress 2 years before their wedding and brides who find their dress 1 month before their wedding! We are thrilled to be part of your bridal journey no matter when you’re ready to find your dress!
Do I need an appointment to try on wedding dresses at One Fine Day Bridal?
Appointments are recommended, especially on Saturdays! Walk-ins are welcome but we may not have a room open which is why we’d love to help you set up an appointment. Our appointments are 1.5 hours. Book your appointment now!
I live 3 hours away, is it normal to come shop with you?
Yes! Funny enough, we quite frequently draw from a 3 hours radius around Fort Wayne. We get a lot of brides from Fort Wayne, but we also get to help brides from Auburn, Warsaw, Goshen, Van Wert, Lima, Defiance, and surrounding areas. It’s amazing what social media has done for our business and attracting all of our beautiful out of town brides!
Rest assured, if you are coming out of town, we have several options for getting your dress to you when it arrives! Our goal is to make your time with us stress free and fun.
What price range are wedding gowns at your Fort Wayne boutique?
Our curated designer collection features gowns across various budget ranges. Contact our boutique directly or visit our Gowns page to learn more about our designer price points.
What sizes do you carry in-store?
We pride ourselves on being a size-inclusive bridal boutique. We carry sample gowns ranging from bridal sizes 6-28 to ensure every bride can find her dream dress comfortably.
How does payment work?
We only need ½ down to get your dress ordered and we ask the other half to be paid within 30 days of your dress’s arrival to our store. You’re welcome to pay for the full amount when you say yes but it’s not necessary.
