Planning for a wedding or a special event requires careful timing. Understanding the differences between Made to Order and In Stock items helps ensure everything arrives right on schedule.
Key Factors to Consider
When deciding between Made to Order and In Stock items, consider:
Your Event Timeline: Do you have months to spare, or is your event coming up quickly?
The Specific Items You Need: Certain items (like bridal gowns and custom separates) are predominantly Made to Order, while others may be readily available.
Seasonal Delays: If you are ordering between January and March, expect higher demand to extend production times for Made to Order pieces.

Important Policies to Keep in Mind
-
Cancellation Policy: Because In Stock items start packing almost immediately and Made to Order items head into production shortly after purchase, their cancellation windows are a bit different:
In Stock items can be cancelled within 30 minutes of placing your order.
Made to Order items can be cancelled within 72 hours of placing your order.
Once these windows pass, we are no longer able to cancel the order. Please see our Cancellation Policy for full details.
Return Policy: Whether an item is Made to Order or In Stock doesn't affect whether it can be returned. Please refer to our Return Policy for specific guidelines on which items are eligible for a return.
