Allow Enough Time For Your Appointment

Isabelle’s recommends calling your preferred bridal boutique at least two weeks in advance to schedule your appointment. Although some bridal boutiques accept walk-ins, you may not receive as much time and attention without an appointment. Scheduling one-to-two hours should allow enough time to try on dresses. Avoid busy weekends by booking your visit during a weekday for more intimate attention from your bridal consultant.
