Frequently Asked Questions

 

We can't wait to help you find your perfect wedding gown!

1. Do I need to make an appointment?
Yes! In order to best serve our brides, we require appointments for all visits to BAHAR & REZA Bridal Boutique. Appointments may be scheduled online or by calling our store.

2. How many people can I bring?
Our guest limit is 3 people (ages 12 & up) plus the bride.

3. What is your price range?
The wedding dresses in our shop range in price from $1,400 - $3,000. We also have a selection of sample gowns available to purchase off-the-rack and take home same day that begin at $500. Please note, the availability of sizes and prices within the sample gowns vary! Please call with specific inquiries.

4. What sizes do you carry?
The dresses available to try on in our boutique range from bridal size 10 - 28. If you would like to know what your approximate bridal size is, please read question 5! We do have the ability to order dresses as low as bridal size 2 and up to bridal size 34. We do not have every style available in multiple sizes, so please call us if you have questions or are looking for something specific!

5. What is my bridal size?
In our store, your bridal size is approximately 2 or 3 sizes higher than the clothing you wear on a daily basis. For example, if you wear a pant size 8, you may fit comfortably in a bridal size 12 - 14. We measure all brides prior to ordering your gown to find the best fit according to the size chart.

6. Do you carry plus size wedding dresses?
Yes, we carry plus size wedding dresses at BAHAR & REZA Bridal Boutique. We have dresses in store available to try on up to a bridal size 28, and we have the ability to order certain gowns up to bridal size 34. Our section of plus size wedding dresses vary in style and price. If you have a specific style or budget in mind, please feel free to call us to check availability.

7. What should I bring/wear to my appointment?
Most brides wear comfortable clothes. While wearing a bra trying on dresses is optional, we ask that brides wear underwear (nude color is best). If you plan on wearing a shaper, a corset, or any other specific undergarment on your wedding day, it is wise to bring it with you. We like to be able to measure you in these undergarments to recommend the proper size. You are also welcome to bring high heels, or any other specific shoe you plan to wear the day of the wedding.

8. Do you buy wedding dresses?
Unfortunately, we do not buy wedding gowns either worn or unworn.

9. What are your hours?
For bridal shopping, we are open by appointment Tuesdays through Saturdays. For alteration and other services, Mondays through Friday.

10. When should I shop for my dress?
We recommend shopping for your dress approximately 10-18 months before your wedding. Any needed alterations takes approximately 3 months. However, there is no such thing as shopping too early! If your wedding is coming up quickly, we would love to show you our off-the-rack styles that would be available to buy and take home the same day! We can also discuss rush-shipping options for our ordered gowns.

11. Do you have in-house alterations?
We do have an alterations department in our store, where we offer variety of services. If you'll be staying at your current size for your wedding, you can start your alterations at any time. If you anticipate losing or gaining around ten or more pounds, be sure to allocate 3 months for alterations before the wedding. Please bring your shoes for your alteration fittings. For more information, please visit our Services page.

12. What designers do you carry?
We carry the award-winning bridal designer, Essense of Australia.

Please note we do not carry all styles by this designer. Please call with specific dress inquires.
