At J. Andrew’s, we don’t do gimmicks or guesswork. Just real talk, expert guidance, and a collection of gowns curated for brides who care about craftsmanship, fashion, and a truly unforgettable experience.
Our bridal gowns range from $1,000 to $4,000, with most brides falling in love with something between $1,500 and $2,500.

Yes, once in a while, you might find a sample gown under $1,000 if all the stars align and we celebrate that because it means you found a great deal and we made room for more gowns!

We understand that life happens and always strive to be flexible. However, due to our back-to-back appointments, arriving more than 15 minutes late without prior notice is considered a no-show and may be subject to our no-show/cancellation fee. To avoid this, please arrive on time or contact us in advance to see if a later time is available. If you’re running behind, let us know as soon as possible—we may still be able to adjust, though your appointment may need to be shortened to stay on schedule. We recommend arriving a few minutes early to ensure a relaxed and enjoyable experience!
Yes, appointments are required to ensure each bride receives personalized attention from a bridal stylist. This also helps manage fitting room availability and provides a more intimate, focused & personal experience.
Our Master Stylists typically guide a bride to her perfect gown within an hour to an hour and a half
It is important to note we do not time our appointments, we go at your pace and never want you to feel rushed but realistically shopping for an hour and half is plenty of time when you are being personally styled! It’s best to book at least 1–2 weeks in advance, especially for weekend slots, which tend to fill quickly.
Guest limits can vary based on the appointment type you choose. Our complimentary appointment has space for up to 5 guests to join the bride. You can choose our More the Merrier appointment that reserves our largests suite for up to 7 guests to join the bride or book an upgraded private appointment which doesn't have a limit to how many guests you can bring. Our appointment options are explained thoroughly here: Bridal Appointment Menu

If you have a specific heel height in mind, bring some shoes along to help with length assessment. Sometimes gowns are offered in extra legnth, or petite options and we love to take advantage of those when able! Your stylist will assist you in the dressing room so wear whatever feels most comfortable to you, we typically suggest no bra since the gowns have built in cups and that is like wearing two bras, who wants to do that?
