FAQ
We recommend ordering your dress 10 to 12 months before your wedding date. During this time your gown will be shipped, received in our store and still allow for time to work with a seamstress for alterations.
On average, wedding gowns take anywhere between 7 and 10 months to arrive in our store. Due to COVID, shipping complications are more prevalent across all industries, including bridal.
Our gowns are in the $1,000 to $2,400 price range - our average gown price is $1,500 - although we do have some gowns above that range as well.

We do have "off the rack" options at Adore Bridal Illinois. Many dresses are only available to special order, but there are a great deal of gowns that can be purchased out of our stock.
