The Gown Ordering Process:
A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Your Dream Dress at Bustle
Planning a wedding is an exciting journey, and one of the most memorable parts is finding the perfect gown. At Bustle, we understand that this process can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Here’s a breakdown of the gown ordering process to ensure you have a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Step 1: Research Bridal Stores
Before you dive into trying on dresses, start by researching bridal stores. Look for boutiques that align with your style and vibe. Check out reviews, browse social media, and gather recommendations from friends or family. At Bustle, we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming atmosphere where every bride feels special. But don’t take our word for it - read our reviews!
Step 2: Make An Appointment
Booking a time slot at Bustle ensures that you receive personalized attention from our experienced stylists. Appointments can fill up quickly, especially on weekends, so be sure to reserve your spot in advance. We offer a range of different types of appointments so you can find the one that’s best for your party!
Step 3: Choose Your Entourage
Deciding who to accompany you on this special day is important. Whether it’s your mom, your best friend, or a mix of loved ones, choose people who will support and uplift you. Remember, the right company can make the experience even more memorable.
Step 4: Gather Inspiration
Before your appointment, gather inspiration to help guide your stylist. Create a mood board on Pinterest, save posts on Instagram or bookmark your favorite looks online. This visual reference will help communicate your style preferences and make the search for your gown more efficient.n Our favorite way for you to do this is by saving looks from our inventory into your client portal!

Step 5: Trust Your Stylist
At Bustle, our stylists are passionate about helping brides find their dream gowns. Trust their expertise! They’ll offer valuable insights and suggestions based on your preferences, body type, and wedding theme. Remember, they’re here to help you navigate the options and find the perfect fit.
Step 6: Have an Open Mind
While it’s great to have a vision of your dream gown, keep an open mind during your appointment. Sometimes the dress you least expect can surprise you! Be willing to try on styles that you might not have considered initially—you never know what might end up being “the one.”
Step 7: Finalize the Details
Once you’ve found your gown, it’s time to narrow down the details and get it ordered! Accurate measurements are crucial for a perfect fit, so our team at Bustle will guide you through this process. Then we’ll confirm the color, and any other accessory details.
Step 8: Making the Investment
After selecting your dream dress and taking your measurements, it’s time to make it official! At Bustle, we offer flexible payment options to suit your needs. Once payment is completed, you’ll receive a confirmation, and the excitement of waiting for your gown begins!
Step 9: Design and Construction Timeline
The final step in the gown ordering process is the waiting game. Generally, gowns take about 3-5 months to arrive, so patience is key. Use this time to finalize other details for your wedding and to dream about how stunning you’ll look in your gown. Check in with us at any time to ask about the progress! You’ll get an email and a text from us the moment your gown arrives.
Finding your wedding gown is an incredible experience, and at Bustle, we’re honored to be part of your journey. By following these steps, you’ll navigate the gown ordering process with ease and confidence. Remember, we’re here to support you every step of the way, and we can’t wait to help you say “yes” to the dress!
