Circle Park Bridal.

...most asked questions

 

Can I take pictures of the gowns I try on at your shop?

Yes! Although it is not allowed at most bridal shops, we actually encourage you to have pictures taken of the gowns you try on. To capture the look of excitement and joy the first time you try on your dream gown.... we are so all about that!

Your gowns are the same styles at other shops but are so much cheaper! Are they samples or irregulars?

All of our gowns are brand new designer gowns! They are not samples or irregulars! You will find the same styles for $100 to $500 more in other bridal shops!

Do you carry bridesmaids or mothers of the bride gowns?

Sorry...Our shop is all about the bride! (okay, we do have flower girl dresses, but they're so cute, we couldn't resist!) We don't have in-stock bridesmaid or mother of the bride gowns, but our incredible designer can quote custom design prices. If you can imagine it, she can create it!

What's with the mural of Circle Park and the stage in your store?

We wanted to have a great place to take a scrapbook memento for you and your family or friends that are shopping with you of this special time in your life! We commissioned Kathy Love to create the images of Circle Park so step on up and say "Groom"!

Can I have some privacy or do you require your staff to be in the fitting room with me at all times like many shops do?

We understand modesty and basic privacy! We are available to help you with the entire dressing process in the room but find most brides can slip on a gown, they just need a little help zipping the back or tying the corset.
Whatever your comfort level.. that's what we're comfortable with!

How many people do you allow in your store?

We request that a bride brings no more than two other people with her when shopping. Trust us, the more you have, the more difficult it become to make a decision!

Do you allow BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle)

YES! As long as the beverage of choice is a clear liquid (white wine or champagne, perhaps) just in case some should fall onto our carpets. Let your visit to our shop be your first Happy Hour stop! We are the perfect place to try on gowns and start off your cocktail evening here in Addison! Note we do reserve the right to limit or refuse consumption to any group (if we believe the age is too low or the consumption is too high!)

You offer light refreshments every day?

Absolutely! Shopping for gowns is both physically and mentally tiring! We know this and want to be sure you stay hydrated and get a little sugar boost if needed, too! This my friend, is not your average boutique!

Can I just browse through your shop and check out the styles you carry without someone breathing down my back?

You bet! We encourage you to take your time and check out the many styles we offer, at your own speed. Because we like to let our gowns "breathe" and so you can see all their fabulousity, they are not confined in plastic bags.

We ask everyone that enters the store to use the provided hand towelettes to remove oils and dirt so the gowns can remain in perfect condition. The gowns are high up off the floor to keep them from dragging... if you have any trouble reaching them, we're happy to help!

Do you have any gowns for rent or sell consignment gowns?

No but with MANY gowns priced below $500, you can afford to have a brand new gown to call your own!

Your shop is so different for a bridal shop. Who designed it?

Ah shucks..... we feel pretty happy about the way it turned out, too!
