Some gowns come temple-ready right off the rack. Others can be paired with modest overlays or jackets. Ask your stylist about options that work for both the ceremony and the reception. Browse gowns available in store to see current styles.

Planning for Alterations Before Your Big Day

Bridal Closet does not offer in-house alterations. You will need to work with an outside seamstress or tailor for any adjustments to your gown. This includes hems, bustles, sleeve changes, or fitting tweaks.

We recommend booking your alterations appointment early. Most brides schedule their final fitting two to four weeks before the wedding. Sandy and Draper have several skilled tailors who work with bridal gowns regularly.

When you purchase your dress, ask our stylists for timing advice. They can help you plan backward from your wedding date. This way, your gown is ready with no last-minute stress.

Utah's busy wedding season runs from May through September. Alteration shops fill up fast during these months. Book ahead to secure your spot.

Caring for Your Gown After the Wedding

Your wedding gown deserves proper care once the celebration ends. Professional cleaning removes dirt, sweat, and stains from Utah's red dust or outdoor receptions. The sooner you clean it, the easier stains lift out.

Preservation boxes protect your gown for years to come. They shield the fabric from light, moisture, and insects. If you plan to pass your dress down or keep it as a keepsake, preservation is worth the investment.

Sandy's arid climate helps prevent mold and mildew. However, sunlight can fade delicate fabrics over time. Store your gown in a cool, dark closet away from windows.

If you're leaving for your honeymoon right after the wedding, ask about pick-up and drop-off services. Some cleaners will collect your gown so you don't have to rush.
