Fun Fact: Heather was one of the first brides to purchase her gown from Formality. She stayed in touch with us thru the years, and when we had an opening, we knew she would be a perfect fit! She has recently been through the gown shopping experience, and provides a fresh perspective to current brides. We like to say that she has serious "street cred", if that's a thing in bridal.
She is calm, patient, level-headed, and has a knack of connecting with brides.
Heather is a mom to an adorable toddler and a stepmom to a grown son. She and her husband are also in the process of building a new home near us in wine country.
At Formality, we think it's really important that brides have a boutique experience like the one you see on that special show.
When you book an appointment, you can bring 4 guests for a traditional bridal gown appointment or up to 8 guests for a VIB deluxe appointment. Once you make your gown selections, it's off to beautiful dressing room to try on beautiful gowns.
Then its out to show your group what you look like in each of your beautiful selections.
Don't worry if it doesn't fit you perfectly just yet... that's totally normal. We can usually perform fittings in house so that your complete bridal experience is with us. No need to go out searching for someone that you trust to make alterations to your precious gown!
Congrats on your engagement! Now, let’s get down to business! It is our job to help brides find “The” dress.
Our goal is to provide a top-shelf dress shopping experience while saving you a ton of money. All of our gowns are $999 or less.
That’s right, every single bridal gown in our extensive inventory is yours for under $999
Size 4 to 28. Beautiful gowns for practical brides!
Know how at a lot of bridal stores the accessories cost nearly as much as the gowns? Yeah...we think that's crazy too.

Q: Are appointments required?
Yes, we require appointments to ensure that we have a dressing room reserved for you and that we are available to provide a wonderful experience and that YOU are our sole focus. For the optimal bridal experience, we do not accept walk ins.
Q: How many guests can I bring with me to my appointment?
We are currently permitting three guests for a traditional 90 minute appointment and 8 guests for a VIB appointment. If you want to include others, we encourage FaceTime or a similar technology once you've narrowed down your selection to allow them to be a part of your big "Saying YES" moment.
Q: Can I bring my child in with me to my appointment?
Yes, but we don't recommend it as it can be distracting to brides and difficult for little ones to be in a bridal store for 90 minutes or more. But we do understand that sometimes it simply can't be helped and that they must accompany you.
Q: How long is a bridal appointment?
Standard Bridal appointments are 90 minutes long. A VIB appointment is 2 hours long.
Q: Is Formality reSale handicap accessible?
We offer a wheelchair lift to allow walkers and wheelchairs into the main part of our store, but the VIB area is not accessible via wheelchairs.
Q: What are your current Covid guidelines?
Your safety and health (and ours) is a priority. We will follow all recommended guidelines as indicated by the CDC.
