Our business hours are Tuesday – Sunday, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Please schedule an appointment to ensure a dedicated fitting session, as we cannot guarantee same-day availability for walk-ins.

Your bridal appointment is designed to create a memorable and stress-free experience. Here’s what you can expect:

• Step 2: During your appointment, your dedicated Bridal Experience Specialist will hand-select gowns tailored to your aisle style and budget.
• Step 3: You'll showcase your chosen dresses to your friends and family in our dedicated appointment areas.
• Step 4: Your Bridal Experience Specialists will help narrow down your options to your top three favorite gowns.
• Step 5: When you find your perfect gown, we’ll celebrate your “Yes” moment with champagne or sparkling cider in the boutique!
• Step 6: Once we're done celebrating, we'll take your measurements to custom order your gown to ensure a perfect fit on your special day. 

Yes, we do! For an exclusive experience, you can book the entire store for your special moment.

• What’s included: Drinks, light snacks, and a dedicated stylist for your party.

To reserve your private appointment, please contact us at 214-724-0444.

Our 1-hour accessory appointments are designed for you to explore our curated selection of jewelry and veils with a dedicated Bridal Experience Specialist.

• You can revisit items from a previous appointment or discover new pieces.
• Please note that most accessories require a special order, which may take 8–10 weeks unless rush shipping is available.

There is no fee for accessory appointments.

To ensure a relaxed and enjoyable experience, we recommend bringing no more than four guests. Having fewer opinions often makes the process more focused and pleasurable for you, the bride. 

Our price range is wide, as we strive to offer beautiful gowns for brides of all budgets. We have dresses starting at $700, with most gowns ranging around $1,000 to $7,000, and our most exclusive designs reaching $10,200.

All of our offerings include our special custom ordering by the bride’s unique measurements, allowing her to save money on alterations—because that money is much better spent on a honeymoon instead!

Only You Bridal carries only high-quality fabrics in our bridal gowns including Mikado, silk, lace, chiffon, tulle, and satin.

We recommend beginning your bridal gown search approximately 9–12 months before your wedding date.

While we can typically receive dresses in about 6 months, starting early allows time for any desired customizations or adjustments without stress. Check out our blog on this topic! 

Congratulations! Your custom wedding gown is officially on its way. Here’s what to expect next:

✨ Order Processing & Arrival: We have placed the order for your custom dress, which typically takes around 6 months to arrive.

✨ Final Fitting Appointment: Once your gown arrives, we’ll schedule you for a final fitting appointment to ensure it was delivered exactly as ordered and to check if any final alterations are needed for a perfect fit.

✨ Alterations (If Needed): Should any final alterations be necessary, we will keep your gown and have them completed by our expert partners. This process usually takes about 2 weeks.

✨ Pick-Up & Final Try-On: Once alterations are finished, we’ll invite you back for a final fitting to ensure everything is flawless—then you’ll leave with your perfect dress, ready for your big day! 💍

Not yet, as we're in the process of finalizing how we can best offer this service. Only You Bridal does not offer wedding dress preservation services at this time.

We do not offer in-house alteration services. The cost of alterations varies greatly depending on the type of alterations needed. Typically, alterations range from $100 to $1000+.

Custom Fit & Alterations:
At Only You Bridal, we are proud to custom order gowns based on each bride’s unique and beautiful measurements, eliminating the need for standard alterations and helping you save money. However, we understand that sometimes adjustments may be needed due to unforeseen circumstances. That’s why we’ve partnered with a highly skilled alterations specialist to ensure a flawless fit if any changes are required.

You can schedule your first alterations consultation at the time of your gown pickup or book it for a later date. If you prefer an outside specialist, we also have a list of highly recommended experts in the DFW area and can provide their contact information upon request.

💡 Pro Tip: If alterations become necessary, budget approximately 25% of the dress cost and allow 1-2 months for any adjustments. Also, don’t forget to take a video of how to bustle your gown—it’ll be a lifesaver on your wedding day!

Storing Your Wedding Gown:
To keep your gown in pristine condition, store it hanging in the provided garment bag inside a cool, dry, and temperature-controlled closet—ideally away from direct sunlight and water sources.

Day-of Care:
Your gown may need a light steam before the ceremony. Here’s how to safely remove wrinkles:
✔ Cover the head of your steamer with a hand towel or tube sock, secured with a hair tie, to prevent water spots or heat damage.
✔ Hang your gown high and begin steaming from a distance, letting the fabric relax naturally.
✔ For stubborn wrinkles, allow the dress to hang—its weight will help smooth out creases over time.
✔ Satin, Crepe, and Mikado gowns require extra time post-steam to prevent setting wrinkles, so steam them well in advance.

At this time, we are solely focused on brides and do not offer dedicated Mother-of-the-Bride (MOB) dresses. However, we do offer dress customizations, and some of our designs can be tailored in colors that do not resemble traditional wedding gowns. Let us know what you're looking for, and we’d be happy to explore options with you! 💖
