I had a wonderful experience here! I am a size 18 and I was able to try on plenty of dresses in my size and I believe they have dresses in store to try up to size 28 or 30. They were very knowledgeable and that really helped me to not feel anxious. Every dress I tried on was beautiful. I ended up finding my dress here and it is better than I could have imagined. They spent a lot of time with me picking out accessories while I was in the dress I ended up buying. That way I was able to make sure the dress was right for me. Not rushed at all. Also, I went alone without my family but I am still able to include them in the experience because because Weddings with Joy offers a special dress pickup experience with refreshments etc like a little party and I chose to do that when my dress comes in.

Went home last weekend to surprise my parents and surprised my mom with an appointment for me at Weddings with Joy! Ashley made the experience so fun and made us all laugh and cry the whole time we were there! So excited to unknowingly keep the weddings with Joy name in my family! My mom got all of her dresses and tux’s there in 1993! Driving by the shop when I was little I told myself that is where I was getting my dress! Thank you so much for making me more and more excited for my wedding! You guys are the best for sure!

My experience at Weddings with Joy was amazing! Kristin was so sweet from the moment we opened the door. It was such a amazing experience to have with my mom, especially because it was in an intimate setting; just us two and Kristin in the shop. We had her full attention and she really took the time to get to know my style through questions and suggestions. The whole process just flowed and it didn’t feel rushed at all. Kristin showed me different veils and hair accessories too. Overall, an amazing experience! The shop is so cute too!

I had the absolute best time at weddings with joy! Kristin my stylist, was amazing and got right to work pulling dresses that looked similar to to the photo I showed her. She was happy to answer any questions I had about fabric color, if I could alter a dress, and about accessories! This was my first time trying on a dress in person, and I can happily say that I said yes to my dream dress! I’m only sad that it’s not socially acceptable to wear this dress all the time…!!! I would highly recommend wedding with joy!

Questions & Answers

What sample sizes do you carry?

Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2021
Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2021

We have dresses from size 2 up to 30. During your appointment, your bridal stylist will help you achieve the closest fit possible. Bridal sizes typically run much smaller than standard street sizes.

How much do your dresses cost?

Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2021
Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2021

Our wedding dresses range from $400-$2000 with the majority being $1200-$1600.

How far in advance do I need to order my dress?

Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2021
Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2021

We recommend saying yes to your wedding dress at least 9-12 months before your wedding day. Most wedding dresses take about 4-6 months to arrive after they’ve been special ordered for you! You’ll also want to give yourself time for alternations and fittings after the dress arrives. If you are shorter timeline, don’t stress, we have wedding dresses that are available for immediate purchase, straight from our collection.

What’s the payment process like?

Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2021
Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2021

We require payment in full to special order your dress from the designer. However, we can arrange for a payment plan to be created if need be.

Are cancellations possible?

Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2021
Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2021

Due to the custom nature of our business, all sales are final. We cannot accept cancellations once your order is placed or accept returns for whatever reason. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. In the unfortunate circumstance, the event is cancelled or postponed, you are still responsible for picking up the gown and accessories.

What can I do with my dress after the wedding?

Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2021
Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2021

We work with Wedding Gown Co., which provides wedding dress cleaning and preservation. We even have special discounts for our #joyfulbrides!

Are photographs allowed?

Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020
Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020

They are allowed but we ask that you refrain from taking them until the end of the appointment when we have helped you narrow down your choices to three gowns. Taking them throughout the appointment can be distracting and may not be the best use of your time. We also ask that when viewing the photos to remember that our gowns are samples and may not be in the color or condition that your gown will be upon its arrival. Also, the gown has not been professionally fit to your body and therefore may not be lying exactly right.

How should I prepare for my bridal appointment?

Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020
Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020

Take some time to discover what you prefer in a wedding dress by browsing through bridal magazines, websites, and good'ol Pinterest. This will help us get started in the selection process, although your stylist may also have some recommendations that you will love. The most helpful undergarments to bring to your bridal appointment are nude spanx (or leggings!) and a strapless bra.

Are children allowed in the boutique?

Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020
Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020

We adore children, but our boutique is filled with delicate, expensive items and it is not an appropriate environment for them. Children require a lot of care and attention and we also feel that caring for them takes the attention away from the bride, which in our world, is always the star of the show. We kindly request that you leave small children at home.

Who should I bring with me to my appointment?

Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020
Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020

We recommend you bring only a few people whose opinions you value the most. We’ve found the more people who attend the appointment, the more challenging it is, since it’s easier to lose focus on what is important to you.

How long can I expect my bridal appointment to be?

Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020
Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020

Our appointment times generally last 60-90 minutes. We are a small boutique, and all our dresses are out for browsing, and we have found that amount of time is perfect for selecting your favorites and trying them on.

What if I need to cancel or change my appointment?

Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020
Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020

Not a problem, just give us a call or text to let us know. We’d be happy to reschedule the appointment for a better day and time. You will receive a reminder text message 48 hours before your appointment. You can reply to the message to confirm or cancel, or you may call the store directly. We appreciate the courtesy of confirming or cancelling as soon as possible.

Do I need to make a bridal appointment?

Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020
Weddings With Joy - Open By Appointment Only | Aug 16, 2020

While appointments are not mandatory, we strongly recommend scheduling one. This is to ensure we have a spacious room and a bridal consultant available, who can help assist you in and out of the dresses. We do our best to accommodate walk-ins, but cannot guarantee you’ll be able to try on bridal gowns.

Do they sell under garments for wedding dresses like (hopefully) hoopless underskirts and stuff?

Miss Mausoleum | Aug 17, 2018
Ashley Lieb | Aug 17, 2018

They do sell fuller crinoline (spelling?) Skirts for a line gowns
