​

What is an appointment request?

Appointment requests are just that, a request for an appointment, submitting an appointment request is not a guarantee of the time you are requesting, it is a preference for what you would prefer. We will call you to finish setting up an appointment and get a little bit more information from you. If the time you have requested is not available we will give you alternative times when we call you. Please make sure all of your contact information is correct in the booking information so we can contact you. If you would like you may add alternative times that work for you in the notes section of your appointment request

​

How long do appointments take?

Week day appointments are an hour and a half long which gives you all the time you will need without feeling rushed. During Saturdays, Each Appointment  is two hours, which allows you to try on several gowns with accessories and veils to find your dream dress! We have found that two hours on a Saturday is generally the perfect amount of time so you do not feel rushed and can take your time in your dream dress once you find the one! If you would like more time than this, just let the Consultant know when you schedule over the phone, or make a note on your booking notation when you book online.  You may also email us with special requests or book a Sunday Private appointment , as they are 3 hours and you'll get the entire boutique to yourself and can bring up to 20 guests with you. DURING THIS TIME, YOU AND YOUR PARTY ARE THE ONLY GROUP IN THE SHOP AND WILL BE GIVEN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AS ANY OTHER REGULARLY SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT. 

​

What do I need to bring? 
Please bring any accessories or shoes you already have for your wedding day. We also recommend proper undergarments to help you feel comfortable during your appointment or any garments you will be wearing under your dress, spanks ( our fav! ) and and most importantly, an open mind! Please remember, you absolutely must wear underwear while trying on any garment in our boutique, just as you would be required to while trying on jeans or a swim suit at any clothing boutique.

 

Don’t be surprised if you find “the dress” on your first visit to Grace. If you do not already have shoes, spanks or accessories, don't even worry! Sometimes brides have a full vision from the start and others need to get the gown for everything else to fall into place.

​

When should I arrive for my appointment?

Please arrive about 5 minutes before the start of your appointment. We are a small boutique and we are generally fully booked, especially on Saturdays. If you anticipate to arrive anytime before that, give us a call, we may be able to move your appointment time up. Alternatively, there are 4-5 great coffee and pastry shops within a 3 minute drive of our shop, we will be happy to suggest a spot to grab a quick drink on your way in! If you arrive at the boutique more than 10-15 minutes in advance, we will not be able to start your appointment until your appointment time. We may be wrapping up our first appointment or your consultant may not be on site yet for the start of their day. Please be patient with us as we want every one of our brides and their guests to have the same wonderful experience as you and do not want anyone to feel rushed. If you are running late for your appointment, we will have to reduce the time-frame of your appointment to make sure that, again, each one of our brides and their parties are able to get the same great experience as you! We as a team do everything we can to help out and make sure that all of our brides are taken care of and attended to as quickly as possible!

​

What should I expect during my appointment? 

When you arrive, you will all sit down and chat with your consultant. We love weddings, each one is unique and special, We want to hear about your proposal, your fiance, what you are thinking in terms of your wedding style and if you have photos of gowns or any other information we need to know, this is the time to share with us.

You will then walk through our shop with your friends, family and consultant and select any gowns that catch you eye that fit your style and vibe. (YES, you can touch our gowns, you get to feel them and hand select whatever you like, don't worry though your consultant will help you select styles they think you will like too! ) Usually we like to stick to about 6-10 gowns!

 When it's time to try on your selected gowns, your consultant will help you into the gowns. We find that this ensures that our gowns stay in the best shape possible ( they have a tough life, always being clipped and zipped ya know!)  and that before you leave the fitting room the gown can be pinned, tucked and clipped  for a  flawless fit! However, if you would rather slip into the gowns alone, just let your consultant know, We will happily step out and come back in to help you zip up and clip you into the gown. We do ask that  guests just have a seat and enjoy watching the big 'reveal' when the bride steps out of the fitting room. We want everyone to have the same great experience, bride, guests, friends and family included. 

COVID-19 update. you and your party will be the only ones in the shop with your dedicated consultant. You are required to wear a mask per Maricopa county mandate. You are only allowed to ! bring 4 guests with you, so 5 total allowed in the shop per appointment including the bride

If you'd like to bring up to 9 guests you can book any weekday and if you have more than 9, you will need to book a private Sunday appointment.  Please make a notation in your online booking or mention this to your consultant when you book your appointment over the phone. We can not accommodate more than 1 large party at a time due to our small space. Please be aware of this and respectful of our time, space and the other bridal parties in the boutique. If you end of with more guests than you anticipated, please give us a courtesy call so we can make arrangements to accommodate all parties at the time you are scheduled.
