MOTHER OF THE BRIDE/GROOM
We carry over 100 Mother of the Bride/Groom dresses in our Saratoga Springs, NY boutique. Our gowns range in price from $260-$1200, with the majority falling around $300-$800. Some of our gowns take up to 6 months to deliver, while other gowns can be purchased off the rack or delivered from the designer within two weeks.
Appointments are required. When you make an appointment with us, you will be assigned a Stylist who will guide you through our collections and gown options. We know that shopping for such a big event can be overwhelming, and we love helping our clients determine what silhoutte and color is most flattering for them!

FAQs
Q: Do I need to schedule an appointment to try on dresses?
A: Yes! While we would love to be able to accommodate walk in appointments, our space is limited as is the number of consultants. All customers must have appointments.
Q: How does a typical Mother of the Bride/Groom appointment work?
A: Our appointments are scheduled for an hour and a half. You will have a dedicated Lily consultant for the duration of your appointment to assist with selecting and clipping dresses, as well as to answer any questions you may have and take measurements when necessary.
Q: What sizes are your dresses available in?
A: Most of our sample MOB/MOG dresses range in sizes 6-18. Select styles are available in 20-28. Our Sorella Vita, Jenny Yoo & Amsale dresses are sampled in sizes 4-28 (Street size 0-24). We work carefully with each customer to select the best dress size for them, based on measurements and the specific designer's size chart.
Q: Do you have multiple sizes in each style or color?
A: Generally we only have one size in each of our styles & colors. Certain popular styles we may have more than one sample of, in different sizes & colors. Feel free to inquire if there are specific dresses you are interested in!
Q: What is your payment policy?
A: Dresses must be paid in full for us to place the order with the designer. Once we place an order with a designer, we are not able to cancel the order.
Q: How far in advance should I order?
A: We recommend placing orders at least 6 months before the date of the wedding. Certain designers do offer quick ship options, however, many operate on a 2-5 month production schedule. You should allot 1 month for alterations.
Q: Will I need alterations?
A: Most likely you will need at least a hem. Other common alterations are to the bodice and straps. We do not have a seamstress on staff, but do have a list of several talented seamstresses locally.
