FAQ

Second Looks, Resort, and SALE are already stocked in our facilities. After receiving your payment, they are ready to ship! Bridal gowns, on the other hand, are made-to-order only, which means that our team will begin work only after receiving the purchase. Please be advised that these gowns take between 2 to 3 months for completion.

Many of our gowns have the option to lengthen the hem or train should you require this customization. If you are looking for a tailored or customized gown that is not suggested online, please email [email protected] We unfortunately do not customize ready-to-wear articles.

Clients located in Paris (or visiting!) can request to pick up their online orders in our flagship at no extra cost. Returns can also be done in store, with previous email confirmation. Please note that fittings will not be possible. Unfortunately, we only offer this service at our Parisian boutique.

We recommend having your wedding date and venue booked before you begin your search for a dress. It is important to have the date and location established so you can envision the wedding’s overall look, and know when your dress needs to be read. We recommend having your first visit 6 to 8 months in advance of your marriage. Most of our brides have 3 - 4 appointments, although this might vary depending on your needs and the boutique's schedule. In general, there is a first appointment to try on the dresses you have loved on our site. This will be your first point of contact with our brand and will allow you to see how you feel on a Rime Arodaky. Then, we will schedule a second appointment with one of our seamstresses so that she can take your measurements. Third and fourth appointments will be to try on the dress and make any alterations needed. As for Second Looks, Resort, and SALE articles, they are already stocked in our facilities. After receiving your payment, they are ready to ship!

Keep your dress stored in its original garment bag. Leave it in a dry place, not exposed to heat or direct sunlight. Place the dress on a flat surface rather than suspending it on a hanger in order to minimize the risk of stretching. Steam your dress the day before your wedding. Maintain an adequate distance between the steamer and the dress. In case of minor imperfections, clean it with a clean white fabric, Marseille soap and some water.

Your dress might suffer from a crazy night of dancing. We recommend taking it to the dry cleaner after. Once clean, fold your dress and place it in a Rime Arodaky conservation box.

Preorders are a limited-time opportunity to order ahead of anyone else. They also include some unique pieces from the collection that might never make it to retail. We will deliver these pieces as soon as they are ready.
