When planning for your big day or a special event, understanding the difference between Made to Order and In Stock items can help you make informed decisions and ensure everything arrives on time. Let's explore these two options and their implications for your wedding planning.
What does "Made to Order" mean?
Made to Order items are items crafted specifically for you once the order is placed. This approach helps reduce environmental waste and offers a more personalized experience. Here's what you need to know:
Turnaround time: 2-6 weeks for production, plus 1-10 days for delivery
Recommended ordering time: 4 months before your event
Items include: bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, junior bridesmaid dresses, mother of the bride dresses, flower girl dresses*, fabric by the yard, separates, sashes*, veils*, wraps*, and more.
It's important to note that between January and March, production times can increase by up to 10 weeks, so plan accordingly!
Please note that items marked with * can be in either category.
What does "In Stock" mean?
In Stock items are items that are already made and ready to be shipped, offering a faster turnaround for those on a tighter timeline. Here's what you need to know:
Processing time: 2-7 days, plus 1-10 days for delivery
Recommended ordering time: At least 1 month before your event
Items include: try-on dresses, final sale dresses, swatches, flower girl dresses*, groomsmen accessories, jewelry, sashes*, veils*, wraps*, and more.
Please note that items marked with * can be in either category.
Making Your Choice
When deciding between Made to Order and In Stock items, consider your timeline and the specific items you need.
Remember to check the estimated delivery window for each item to ensure it will arrive before your event date!
Note: Whether an item is Made to Order or In Stock does not determine if it can be returned. Please refer to our Return Policy for specific information about item returnability.
