LPG Brides’ Guide to the Ultimate NYC Bridal Appointment Experience

Our Exclusive Bridal Experience & Process

At our New York flagship location, you’re in for a truly personalized experience with a private, one-on-one appointment. Your LPG gown will be crafted to your exact measurements using our unique design method and specially carved mannequins created just for you.

 

Congratulations, You’re engaged! Now what?

You’ve got the guy, you’ve got the ring—now it’s time for the dress! Here’s how to make the most of your bridal experience:
Book Early: Don’t wait until the last minute! Ideally, schedule your appointment at least 9 months before your wedding. This allows our dedicated team ample time to craft your dream gown perfectly.
Rush Orders Available: In a hurry? No problem! We offer rush orders to seamlessly fit your wedding timeline, keeping your experience stress-free.
Destination Weddings: Planning a destination wedding? We’ll ensure your gown arrives on time and is ready to travel with you, no matter the distance. Let’s make sure you look absolutely stunning on your big day!

 

How to Prepare for Your Appointment

Stay open-minded—you might discover a gown you hadn’t initially considered, and it could turn out to be the one that’s absolutely perfect for you! For inspiration, browse through our Mystique de Mariée or All That Jazz collections to discover timeless designs, and take some time to explore LPG gowns on Instagram or Pinterest.

One of the best things to bring to your wedding dress appointment is nude, seamless underwear—especially if you’re planning to try on form-fitting styles. Brightly colored or dark undergarments can be distracting and may take away from the overall look of your gown.

A little pampering goes a long way too, so consider having your hair and makeup done before your appointment. This will help you fully envision yourself on your big day. Feeling put together and confident is just as important as looking your best. Finding ‘the one‘ can be an emotional experience, so make sure your mascara is waterproof!

 

How to Maximize Your Appointment: 6 Things to Keep in Mind

This is a once-in-a-lifetime purchase, so keep in mind that certain alterations, customizations, and a veil cost extra, so have your budget allocated for that. 

  1. Don’t hesitate to share your likes and dislikes with our consultant! She’s there to guide you and make the entire process smoother and more enjoyable. Share your vision and any specific details you have in mind for your dream dress.

  2. Too many voices can be overwhelming, so keep your entourage small by bringing only your most trusted friends and family. Our experienced consultants are here to guide you and help you find the perfect dress to make you feel beautiful and confident on your big day.

  3. Keep the number of dresses you try on to a manageable number. Focus on a small selection to give yourself the opportunity to appreciate each option and find the gown that truly suits you.

  4. The dress you’re eyeing might not be IT, but if there’s a detail you love—like the fabric or silhouette—don’t give it up! You can always keep those elements you love and make them work for you. Customize the gown to fit your dreams.

  5. Make sure to relax and have fun! While it may seem to be a cliché, your wedding day is truly one of the most meaningful days of your life. When selecting your dress, stay true to your own personal style, because it’s the key to feeling beautiful and confident on your big day.
  6.  

Time to pop the champagne—it’s decision time!

After confirming your decision [yay!] and drinking champagne, there are a few important things to know:

  • Don’t overthink it! It’s a big decision, but when you know, you know.

  • Be prepared to provide a non-refundable deposit, usually around 70% of the dress’s total cost.

  • Detailed measurements will be taken by our consultants to ensure the best fit.

The decision isn’t always clear after the first try-on, and that’s normal. If you need another visit, we’re always here to help guide you in finding the perfect gown. What’s most important is that the dress you choose truly feels like the one. Scheduling a follow-up appointment allows you to revisit your favorites and take time to reflect on how you felt in each dress.
