Most of our designers take around four to six months to create a new gown. Any custom measurements and changes may require additional time. Certain designers have dresses “in stock,” however, availability varies so be sure to ask your consultant about your quick turnaround options if you are in a time crunch.

Our sample gowns range in size from 6-24. Most of our designers use a European size chart which means our samples run 1-2 sizes smaller than street sizing. We also have the largest selection of Plus Size sample gowns (Size 16+) in Central Texas.

Yes! We are proud to carry one of the largest collections of Plus Size gowns in the Austin, Texas area in sample sizes 16-24. From Ballgowns to Fit and Flares, Lace and Tulle to Satin and Mikado, Sleeves to Strapless and we have it all!!

We understand that this is an important time in your life and you want all of your loved ones to be there when you find that perfect dress! Bring the closest friends or family members whose opinion you value most. Keep in mind that many differing opinions can sometimes make your decision harder and less enjoyable, as well as take the focus off of you and your desires. On Saturdays and Sundays, we are unable to accommodate parties larger than two at the moment. On weekdays, we are more than happy to accommodate larger parties by appointment. Due to the delicate nature of our inventory and out of respect to other brides, unsupervised children are not allowed past our lobby and children under the age of 12 are currently not permitted into the salon due to CDC guidelines in response to COVID-19.

We receive new stock pieces almost daily. With over 450 bridal gowns, we have the largest inventory in Central Texas. We work hard at providing unique designers and styles that cannot be found elsewhere. In fact, we are Austin's exclusive retailer for 8 bridal designers! We carry styles for every type of wedding, in any season. Tulle, lace, taffeta, satin, organza - you name it, we have it! Ballgown, Fit n Flare, Sheath, A-line - yep, we have that too!

Yes, please! Photography is always welcome, as is video chat and other social media platforms. We realize that it is hard to remember everything you have tried on and not every loved one can be with you at your appointment. However, it is important to remember that your pictures may not accurately represent the final look and fit of your gown due to the fit and color of the sample.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, personal checks and cash. We also offer a payment arrangement with a deposit of 50% of the total balance due upon ordering and payments scheduled thereafter. Orders will not be placed and items cannot be removed from the store until checks have cleared. We can accommodate over the phone payments as well as online payments through our secured payment website.

Your personal bridal consultant will take measurements and then compare them to the respective designer’s size chart taking into consideration the style and fabric of the gown. Sizes can vary greatly from ready to wear clothing, which is why you cannot rely solely on your typical dress size when picking your bridal gown size. Ordering a size bigger is always preferable to ordering a size smaller, as a gown can be taken in during alterations. Of course, the final choice is always left to the client after you receive the proper guidance from one of our highly trained sales staff.

No! Most designers offer a Guarantee of Authenticity to ensure the highest quality, which is why they are only available at Authorized Retailers. There are numerous online companies that produce fake, copied products from cheaper, low quality products and sell them as “designer” gowns with no security that you will receive the proper color or size. Online companies are less reliable as they may close without warning. Signature Bridal Salon also offers many more services than an online boutique ever could, such as personal consulting that continues from shopping, to purchase, and up until the Big Day.

At this time we do not offer on site alterations, however if you purchase your gown with us, we will provide you with a list of seamstresses in the greater Austin area whom we have worked with in the past and have been given positive feedback from our many of our Brides. 

Currently, we recommend between 6-10 weeks for the alteration process, depending on the complexity of your dress and amount of "non-traditional" alterations you are planning on making. For example, if you are just doing the standard hem, side seams and bustle, you should allow yourself 6-7 weeks. If you are planning on creating a custom strap or jacket in additional to standard alterations, you would want to allow 9-10 weeks.
