FAQ’S

  • Our showroom ranges from $1,200-$6,000 with the majority of our gowns averaging $1,800!

  • We love to hear this question because well…we love you too! Honestly? We say don’t go to your ‘dream shop’ that fits your vibe FIRST. Unless, you know you are a one and done girl (we feel that also!). We are SO excited to have you visit ASAP, but the truth is, usually your friends & family sometimes want you to try a few shops before saying yes (it’s inevitable, unfortunately) so we always say hold out for where you know you want to find the ONE until you know you’re 100% ready. Whenever that may be, one and done or after a few trial shops…we are ready to have you & cannot wait to help you find your one & only!

  • We have a wide range of sample sizes, because hello…we are all not the same! We carry size 6-32 within our showroom. Keep in mind, bridal sizing runs smaller than your street sizing (annoying, we know) so we always say to calculate your bridal size, add at least one size to your street size! And don’t worry, we take this into account when selecting our sample sizes for you.

    We also take time to clip you into the dress properly to ensure a good visual as to how a dress would fit if it was within your perfect size. Detailed measurements will be taken and a discussion will be had together before ordering the proper size for your dress. We keep things very transparent!

  • We do not have an in house seamstress. This is simply because we believe every bride should have the freedom to use any seamstress they would like that best fits their budget vs being forced to pay more than they would like for in house bridal alterations. Not loving the idea of finding your own - don’t worry! We have one we work very closely with who knows our designers very well and works with us on customizations as well. Either way, we got you!

  • Due to our exclusive and intimate nature we have a strong 3 guest max policy. We ask this because our space is so intimate, we also believe this is such a personal and vulnerable moment for you. Over the years we have found more guests take away from your special moment as opposed to add to it. So, select your 3 decision making helpers who you know will support your decision and make you feel confident. We will be beside you every step of the way also! Your stylist will also help document and send you any photos and videos you may need!

    • NOTE: We always suggest including any additional guests you couldn’t bring to your initial appointment, to your pickup appointment. Where they can then see you in your gown, ready for the big day.

    • Additional Guests: If you feel you absolutely cannot narrow it down to 3 guests, we offer a Private as well as an Exclusive Appointment - The shop is entirely yours to bing as many guests as you’d like! Available Tues-Fri.

    **Supervised children under 13 are welcome during Private or Exclusive appointments only

  • Not at all! Any undergarments that make you feel your best is all we would recommend. (Hint, nude is always the way to go when trying bridal gowns!) other than that, just your ideas & excited self is all you need. We are here for the rest.

  • No one has to tell you or convince you, you just KNOW. No, tears don’t always happen, so don’t force it. Everyone expresses themselves differently, if you aren’t emotional to begin with, don’t expect yourself to be day of, sometimes excitement just takes over! If you are a cry-er..let it out! There’s no set way of knowing you have found the one, just like your style, everyone is different. Kind of like finding your partner…you just know. If you feel confident, comfortable, happy and can envision yourself walking down the aisle to your person - you found it!

    *My biggest advice: go with your gut. & as always, don’t try to be something you are not. be you. The right dress will come!

  • In order to find what you love and have ample time for ordering and alterations, our designers recommend 7 months from your wedding. Special re oder gowns take about 4-6 months to arrive adn you want to allow your seamstress about 3 months to perfect your fit.

    *Note: some of our designers offer in stock inventory we can achieve closer wear dates with yet this stock is typically minimal. Rush options are sometimes available for a fee.

    We do not reccomend begining your search anything over 2 years out.

What our brides say

“Chase was so great at helping me find my wedding dress! She made it relaxing and fun, and picked out my favorite two based on my style and vibe! This was the only appointment I booked and I was so happy to find the one dress while my mom and finance’s mom were in town!”

— Victoria Morgan

“I said yes to my dress here! I have been to 7 different bridal stores and of all of them, One & Only had the most unique, modern, elegant, and reasonably priced gowns. Natasha was a great stylist - she’s sweet, patient, informative, and had a great eye. She is also very attentive to any questions or concerns I have via email. I’m also a big fan of the portal I was sent prior to my appointment that included a look book of styles available in store. Finally, the aesthetic was unique - I loved and appreciated the small touches, and the Welcome sign in my bridal room with my name on it. I love the design and layout of the shop, too. This is not your mothers bridal shop.

So if you’re a modern bride looking for a personalized experience with a great aesthetic, you’ve found your One & Only ;)”
