We have compiled a list of commonly asked questions to help prepare you for your experience and expectations at Mimi's Bridal!

DO I NEED AN APPOINTMENT?

Yes! Our boutique is currently open by appointment only. We require a scheduled appointment to enter our store at this time during our COVID-19 in store procedures.
At Mimi's Bridal we set ourselves apart by quality, not quantity, and therefore our Bridal Boutique has a limited number of dressing rooms. When you schedule an appointment you will have a private fitting room with a one-on-one bridal stylist reserved just for you to make sure you receive the Mimi's Experience!

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I ORDER MY WEDDING DRESS?

Due to COVID-19, we currently recommend ordering your wedding dress anywhere from 10-15 months before your wedding date. This leaves time for any alterations needed or customizing. Don't be discouraged if you don't have that long of a timeline! Not only are there rush options that can be added to your dress for it to be delivered faster, we have curated a collection of wedding dresses to be ready to go home with you the same day!
 For bridesmaids we recommend 5-6 months before your wedding date to allow sufficient time for them to arrive and have alterations completed. 

HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN I BRING TO MY BRIDAL APPOINTMENT?

Our boutique currently has COVID-19 procedures in place. Please view our COVID-19 procedures to keep up to date with our most current in store politics - including maximum occupancy.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR OR SHOULD I BRING ANYTHING WITH ME?

We ask that our brides wear appropriate undergarments when trying on wedding dresses. Think strapless bra & underwear in a light color. Bring anything that’s going to make you feel more comfortable trying on wedding dresses! 

DO YOU PROVIDE ALTERATIONS IN YOUR BOUTIQUE?

Once you have selected your seamstress, you should also call and schedule a fitting with them.
