Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need an appointment?

Yes, appointments are required. This assures you a dedicated bridal consultant has time set aside just for you, and will assist you and help you select and try on gowns. 

However, last minute appointments are sometimes available, so do not hesitate to call us at (316)832-0760. We can sometimes accommodate same day appointments.

What special accommodations are you taking related to Covid-19?

We are only booking one bride at a time. We ask that bride and their groups bring masks with them to the appointment. We clean and sanitize between each bridal appointment. We are open by appointment only, and our hours may vary.  We ask that if you or any member of your group is feeling ill that they do not come into the shop. Our door is locked, and you will need to ring the doorbell upon your arrival. 

How long does an initial bridal consultation last?

Most first time bridal consultations will last around 60-90 minutes.  If a second appointment is needed, they usually last around 30-45 minutes. We give each bride our undivided attention and ensure that she that she doesn’t feel rushed. 

What do I need to bring with me when I come in for a bridal consultation?

You should wear what undergarments you may wear under your dress. Light colored underwear work best, and a light colored strapless bra is helpful but not necessary. Keep in mind, the consultant will be in the fitting room with you to help you put dresses on. 

How many people can I bring with me to my bridal appointment? 

We suggest a group of 2-4 people. We have found that keeping your group smaller can be more comfortable and help make the experience better for the bride. We are a smaller salon, so space is limited. 

What is the price range of your dresses? 

We have simple styles that can be in the $300-$500 range. The Majority of our formal gowns are in the $1000-$1700 range. We always have a nice selection of designer samples that can be purchased at a great savings. These gowns can run from $600-$900. We will always try to be mindful of your budget and can help you find the perfect dress while staying within your budget.

What size gowns do you carry?

Most of our sample gowns are sizes 8-14, but we do have some sample gowns in smaller and larger sizes as well. We have clips available that we can put on dresses that are not the right size. We have a very nice selection of plus size gowns. We pride ourselves in having a gown for every body type and we work hard to make each bride find a gown that flatters her body.

How long do your special order dresses take to come in?

Most of our gowns take 4-6 months to arrive. Some of our designers offer rush orders for an additional charge, and sometimes the designer has dresses in stock that can be shipped and received within a few weeks. We can almost always find a way to help you get your dream dress, even if your wedding is soon. 

Do you sell dresses off the rack if my wedding is right away?

Yes! We always have a very nice selection of dresses that you can purchase off the rack, and some of the designers have hanging stock that can be shipped out right away. 

When should I begin shopping for my wedding dress?

It is never too soon to begin your search.  Some brides start the day after their engagement.  Usually, it is best to start looking 10-12 months prior to your date.  This allows you enough time to narrow down your selection and order the gown with plenty of time for alterations or any delays. If you start shopping really early, be prepared to buy or order a dress when you find one you love. Wedding dress availability can change, so if you see a dress you love and come back later it be no longer be available.

Do you provide alterations?

We have an excellent seamstress who has been providing our brides with expert alterations for over 25 years. She does a great job, and she is very reasonably priced. However, you are welcome to use a seamstress of your choice as well. 

What are your store policies?

Half of the purchase price plus the full sales tax is required before an order can be placed.

Alterations are not included in the price of your gown.

When you special order a gown, your measurements are taken to ensure the best fit possible. However, the dress is not custom made to those measurements so some minor alterations and custom fitting is sometimes still needed. We have been measuring brides for over 35 years, and we have lots of experience which helps us know the proper size to order for each bride. 

We accept all major credit cards.

All sales are final due to the unique nature of bridal and formal wear. No cancellations, exchanges or refunds. Payments are non-refundable.

Relax and have fun and let us do all the work. We try our very best to make sure each bride finds the perfect dress, but also that she enjoys the wonderful, full-service bridal experience that we provide at Reni’s.
