FAQ - Formality Bridal

Please reach us at pbowersschebal@yahoo.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

We are open Mon/Wed/Thurs/Fri: 11 am to 7 pm ….. Sat/Sun: 11 am to 5 pm

We are currently permitting up to 4 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.

What types of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, credit cards, and debit cards.

Where do you get your gowns?

We get our gowns from all sorts of places, but primarily from boutiques as samples. We have great relationships with boutiques around the country, which allows us to offer a wide selection of beautiful gowns that you might not get to see in our area.

Do you buy gowns from brides?

From time to time we will purchase gowns from a bride if it hasn’t been worn down the aisle or had any alterations. However, we don’t purchase David’s Bridal gowns or online purchases. If you’d like us to consider your new gown, feel free to send us a pic along with pertinent info, like size, alterations, and how much you’d like for it. You can send it to pennyformality@yahoo.com or text it to (440)251-0571.

Sorry, pictures with missing info will not get a response.

Can I hold a gown?

We don’t offer holds, as our gowns are priced hundreds, sometimes thousands, less than those other boutiques. We price them to sell quickly. We do offer a 30 day layaway policy if your budget is extra tight right now.

Do you clean the gowns that you sell?

We source our gowns new from designers or as samples and haven’t been worn by a bride. However, our gowns may have been tried on as samples. Cleaning is optional and can be done at your discretion.

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.

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.

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.

How long is a bridal appointment?

Standard Bridal appointments are 90 minutes long. A VIB appointment is 2 hours long.

Is Formality re-Sale 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.
