We want all of our brides to have the best experience possible, so appointments are highly recommended on weekdays and necessary on Saturdays. You can make an appointment online by clicking here.

In addition to our complimentary “Luxe Bridal Appointment” we also offer an upgraded VIP experience. Click here for more information!

We recommend booking one appointment per day. Start with the store that feels the most like your vibe. If sparks don’t fly, try again when you’re fresh another day. Multiple appointments in one day can be overwhelming. We want to keep the process fun for you!

Start gathering pictures of gowns that catch your eye. This will help your consultant get a better feel for the look you are trying to accomplish. Decide on your budget for your gown. A beautiful wedding gown can be purchased for any price, but it is a good idea to know what you are comfortable spending before going into the appointment. Gowns at Bustle range from $1,000 - $6,000 with most gowns falling into the $1,700 - $2,900 range. 

Bridal gowns are made with incredible inner construction and don’t typically require a bra. If you’re more comfortable wearing a bra, feel free to bring your favorite strapless bra. Some brides choose to bring shapewear. It’s not necessary but we’re all for what makes you feel comfortable and confident!

It is a good idea to wear your hair in a similar style to what you envision wearing for your wedding day. This will help you to get a more accurate picture of the "whole look."  We do ask that you wear a minimal amount of makeup/perfume as we try our best to keep our sample gowns as pristine as possible. Bring any family and friends that will be honest, positive, and supportive. 

We are size-inclusive, Bestie! Our samples range from bridal size 6 (street size 2-4) to bridal size 30 - and orderable up to size 34! Brides of all sizes will feel welcome in our store and have plenty of options. We pride ourselves on having the most extensive collection of extended sizes in the area - in all different styles!

Yep! We’re really good at what we do. We have curated an incredible collection of gowns to suit anyone’s taste. Whatever you’re looking for - we have it! We’re experts at finding the perfect gown for you - even if it’s not what you expected! Come in with an open mind or a detailed list of “must-haves.” You’ll be shocked at how easy the process will be!

Of course! We have a great collection of beautiful accessories - veils, belts, jackets and gorgeous headpieces.

Brides have the option to pay in full for their order, or start with a 60% deposit. The remaining balance can be paid in installments of any size via our personalized online customer portal.

We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards.

Some brides choose to leave a tip for their stylist. This is completely optional! You will be prompted on the credit card terminal and can choose a certain percentage, or any amount, including $0. Tips are never required but greatly appreciated by your lovely stylist!

You will have access to your own personalized online customer portal with detailed information about your order including any balance owed, color, size, and delivery timeline!

You are also welcome to call us at any time to check on the status of your gown order. Keep in mind that we are not typically updated as to the status of your order until it has shipped out to us from the designer, so we may not have many updates for you. In other words, if you have not heard from us: "no news is good news!"  However, we welcome any phone calls, e-mails, or visits at any time.

Designers do their best to make the gowns with the best fit possible, but they are unable to anticipate your unique shape. It is rare that a bridal gown will not need any alterations. Most gowns need at least a hem and to have the bustle sewn in. Alterations should be expected on any gown.  Based on your measurements, we will consult with you to order the size that will need the least amount of alterations.

Alterations are not done at Bustle.  We refer to a tailor in Baton Rouge who has years of experience and a very long record of very happy brides!
