### FAQ

###### Who/what should I bring with me?

The people most important to you, an open mind, and a vision for your wedding day! All our dresses have proper structure, so you don’t need any special undergarments!

###### How many people can I bring?

If they’re important to this decision, they’re invited! If you have more than 6 people you may want to consider a Royal Treatment appointment!

###### What is your price range?

At our Indianapolis (north and south side) and Louisville, KY locations, our special order dresses start at around $1500 – $5000. We have options to purchase a dress directly out of our collection at a discount as well - Our Columubs, IN With Love, Sophia's location is also a sample sale ALL YEAR ROUND! With dresses as low as $499, you can always purchase a dress in-stock and discounted there!

###### Do you do bridesmaids and tuxedos?

We do not do Bridesmaids dresses at Sophia's, but we LOVE working with Tuxedos! You can see more info on the [TUX PAGE](https://sophiasbridalandtux.com/tux/)

###### How long are bridal appointments?

We work one-on-one with you and will never rush your experience! Most people spend about 1.5 hours trying on and falling in love!

###### How many appointments will I have?

We always tell people to come ready to fall in love! It’s just like finding the right partner, you never know when it’ll happen! Most brides find the perfect dress on their first appointment, but we are here to support you in whatever process you need to find the right dress!
