Alterations
Average price of wedding dress alterations is between $800-1500 (prices may vary depending on how the dress fit and the customization). We suggest starting alterations 3-4 months before the wear date or earlier. Bridesmaid dresses range around $200-500 for alterations and Mother-of-the-Bride gowns range around $300-700 for alterations.
Please make sure to have shoes ready during 1st fitting. You are not obligated to use our in-house alterations and you are more than welcome to search for outside alterations.
Call or Email us at hello@boleebridal.com to schedule your fitting.
If you are just looking to get a quote, please email or give us a call at (408)774-9242 to set up your appointment. Appointment will run about 15 minutes long.
For a quote on gowns purchased outside of BoLee Bridal, there is a $25 appointment fee. The fee is waived when you pay for your alterations. Fee is refunded if you cancel 48 hours before the scheduled appointment date.
