What’s the Best Style for My Body Type?

Here’s the thing: every body is beautiful, and there’s a gown out there made for you. Your stylist can help pinpoint which styles will flatter your figure best.

How Do I Feel in This Dress?

If you’re not feeling like a stunning bride when you try on a dress, that’s a major red flag! Ask your stylist how you should feel in the gown and don’t be shy about expressing if something isn’t right. At Mon Amie, we believe in a you-do-you approach.

What’s the Timeline for Alterations?

Oh, the journey doesn’t end with just picking the gown! Alterations matter, and knowing the timeline is crucial. This allows for any customizations or adjustments you want. We’ll make sure your dress fits like a glove, so no worries there!

What’s Included in My Package?

Before you say “yes” to the dress, ask what’s included in your gown package. Some salons offer bonuses like preservation services or fittings. Make the most of your investment! Speaking of, check to see if any special events or collaboration trunk shows are happening that might include some mon amie favorites!
