WHEN DID NEW LEAF BRIDAL SHOP OPEN?
New Leaf Bridal was founded by our lovely owner who always dreamt of opening her own bridal shop. In 2018 she left the medical field after almost two decades and turned a new leaf!
Our owner knew that she wanted to open a bridal shop that had a mom and pop feel combined with the most exclusive selection of gowns that would make every bride feel one of a kind!
With over 700 brides and counting, our mission at NLB is to give each bride a unique curated bridal experience they won't forget! Our focus is on diversity and size inclusivity so we welcome ALL brides!!
WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN APPOINTMENT?
When you arrive with your guests you will be greeted by your bridal consultant who will go over any inspiration you may have, then you will be encouraged to browse through our collection to pick a few dresses that catch your eye!
After you have selected some gowns to try on, you will step into your own private bridal suite (wheelchair accessible) where your consultant will help you in and out of gowns. You will be trying a variety of sizes so your consultant will carefully adjust the gown to your size then you will get to reveal your picks to your guests.
When you say 'I Do' to your dream gown, we do a little photoshoot to capture this special moment with you and your guests!
We can't wait to have you Begin Your NEW LIFE At NEW LEAF Bridal! XX, NLB Team
DO I NEED AN APPOINTMENT?
We pride ourselves on only taking one appointment at a time so every bride can have her special moment and for this reason we are by appointment only!
We always try to accommodate same-day appointments, however our pre-scheduled appointments do have priority. You can call us at 909-295-9613 to find out our openings!
IS THERE A FEE FOR APPOINTMENTS?
Our appointments are free, however a card on file is required to book.
If you do not inform us of the cancellation 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment time slot, a non-refundable 'No Show' fee of $50 will be charged to the card on file.
If we are notified 24 hours prior to your appointment time, no fee is charged!
IS IT NORMAL TO "SAY YES" AT MY 1ST APPOINTMENT?
Yes! A majority of our brides have said yes to their dress at their first appointment and usually end up happier with their bridal gown shopping experience overall because it was an exciting and a once in a lifetime experience they got to share with close friends and family!
It's all about how your gown makes you feel and if you find your gown at your first stop, it's meant to be!
WHAT DESIGNERS DO YOU CARRY?
At the moment, our featured made-to-order designers are Lillian West, Adore by Justin Alexander, & Sincerity.
The collections we carry have an organic, natural quality about them, they feel fresh, modern, and effortless.
WHAT IS YOUR SIZE RANGE?
Our sample gowns range from a bridal size 6-26 in store, and can be ordered from bridal size 2-32.
Once you find your dream gown, one is ordered for you based on your measurements on our designer's size chart.
*Please note that your bridal size is typically up to 2 sizes up from your standard dress size (example: standard dress size 12 = bridal size 16). At our shop, we order your gown based on your measurements, not the size listed on the tag because your bridal size may vary from each designer.
WHAT IS YOUR PRICE RANGE?
Our price range for made-to-order gowns is $1200-$3500, with a majority of the gowns around $1500-$2500.
If you are wanting to stay below that price range, our "Off the Rack" section has many beautiful gowns that have great savings!
At our shop we are very transparent about our pricing so all gowns will have tags that clearly state the price of each gown. When brides tell us their budget our focus is to only stay within their desired price range, always!
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN I BRING?
Our seating can typically seat up to 5 guests comfortably, please call us ahead of time if you wish to bring a larger party.
In our experience however, we do recommend only bringing those who truly support you because finding your dream dress should be a special, fun experience with those who lift you up, always!
WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY APPOINTMENT?
Standard undergarments are required to try on gowns at your appointment in order to keep our sample gowns in the best condition possible (often samples will be sold off the rack to brides who do not have time to order).
Please note that if you do not arrive at your appointment with the standard undergarments we will provide an alternative.
Nude-colored shapewear & heels can be helpful with the envisioning of the gown, however they are optional.

WHEN SHOULD I ORDER MY GOWN?
All of our gowns are made-to-order, which means that they do not start making your gown typically until we put your order through for your size.
Standard production is 6 months, so we recommend our brides to start looking for their wedding gown about 1 year from their wedding date to ensure enough time for the gown to arrive and alterations.
In addition, some gowns can be ordered under 6 months with rush fees if possible.
*Please keep in mind that if you order a gown with ANY type of customization (alternative color, lining, petite length, tall length, extra appliques/fabric) this can add up to 2 additional months onto the production of a gown.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I FIND MY DRESS?
After you say 'I Do' to your dream dress, you are measured, then your payment is processed and your order goes through to the designer.
Once your order is submitted, no changes or cancellations can be made because each order is custom made for each bride.
Just like how you know your fiance is the one you also need to be sure your dress is the one as well because all sales at New Leaf Bridal are non-transferable & non-refundable so please keep this in mind as you begin your bridal gown shopping.
WILL MY GOWN BE A PERFECT FIT ONCE IT ARRIVES?
We measure your bust, waist, and hips to compare them to our designer's standard size chart so that the fit is most accurate as possible, however most brides will need some form of alterations.
Standard alterations include adjusting the bodice/straps, hemming the gown length to your height, and adding a bustle.
DO YOU DO ALTERATIONS?
We do not currently offer any in house alterations within our shop, however we do recommend three local independent seamstresses (both specialize in bridal gowns).
WHAT IS "OFF THE RACK"?
Our "Off The Rack" section is currently made up of sample gowns that are no longer re-orderable from our designers so they are perfect for any bride who is in a time crunch or is on a strict budget!
Each sample in this section is in great condition and has amazing savings for any brides who want a deal!
Our current Off The Rack Collection includes gowns from designers Justin Alexander, Willowby, Mon Cheri, Martin Thornburg & more!
CAN I PUT A GOWN ON HOLD?
We cannot put any holds on made-to-order gowns or from our "Off The Rack" section, which are first come first served.
DO YOU SHIP WEDDING GOWNS?
Unfortunately we are not able to ship your wedding gown once it arrives.
We require you to inspect your gown in person so we can assure that the gown is of the highest quality when you take it home!
