High Vibe Bride FAQ
Your Easy Guide to a Confident and Stress Free Dress Search
Since our gowns are all mostly off-the-rack, schedule your appointment when you are READY to find yours!
Some brides need their gown last-minute, OR find their dream dress a year before their wedding... we are here for both!
Orderable dresses can take many months to come in, depending on the style and designer, so one year ahead of the wedding date is recommended for ordering your dress, although rush shipment is available for shorter timelines.
We have HUNDREDS of styles in every size and style, available right off the rack for any time frame.
Alterations time can be several months, we recommend securing your alterations spot as much in advance as possible, as we and other seamstresses book up in advance.
We do not recommend shopping for your wedding dress more than 1.5 years before your wedding date, as bodies shift and styles change.

Alterations are to be expected in every wedding gown for a perfect fit.
We provide alterations on an appointment basis, ONLY on gowns purchased at High Vibe Bride.
Each alteration is an additional cost, which can be quoted at your dedicated Alterations Appointment.
Most brides spend an average of $500 on most gowns, including hemming, sizing, and bustle. Some gowns need much less, and some much more.
In order to provide the best service to our brides, we ONLY offer alterations services on Wedding Gowns and Special Occasion Dresses like Mother of the Bride that are purchased through our shop.
Bridal Alterations usually range from $250-850, with an average being $500. If you are tall you may not need a hem, or if the gown fits you perfectly you may not need it sized, so in those cases, it would be less! We can only quote alterations at an in-person Alterations Consultation.
We do now carry Mother of the bride and groom dresses, by special separate appointment from bridal shopping. Some of these dresses are suitable for wedding attendants, bridesmaids, or guests, if you are not doing matchy-match for your bridesmaids, that is!
