- What are the rules for your Bride of the Month Contest?
-
Our rules for the contest are as follows... First and foremost if you win YOU MUST contact the vendor seven days or less after the day you win. The contest is based on likes and shares, must be shared from our Facebook page, the original post. Only one like per person, and you can share as many times as you want! You must have the wedding in the state of Oklahoma. It is a combined total of likes and shares from the first of the month until the last day of the month at 10:00PM If you purchase after 5PM on the last day of the month you will be entered in the next months contest. A little hint is you can also tag friends, on the original posts comments, to get them to share it for you if they didn't see your original share on your newsfeed. Good luck!
BTW any whining or complaining about our contest gets you disqualified. This is just for fun for our brides to win fun prizes. Don’t be mean. Enjoy the contest!
- Should I bring pictures of gowns I like?
-
Yes, that will give our consultants an idea of what you like. Or you may send them via text before your appointment. Remember that even though we may not have the exact gown in the picture we will have many similar styles some you may even like better. Let our consultants guide you to find the perfect gown, that is their job, and with the big selection we have we will be able to find you the perfect gown.
- Can I take pictures of the dress I like?
-
We do allow pictures. But do not recommend taking pictures of dresses you don't like because that takes up precious time that you can try on more dresses.
- Should I make an appointment?

Yes, at Facchianos we do not permit self service bridal. Every customer is helped by a consultant one on one, we do allow walk-ins but appointments take priority. We do have to reserve a room for you to try on. Call 918-461-8697 or go to our website www.facchianos.com to schedule yours.

- When should I order my gown?
-
Brides Magazine recommends ordering your gown a year before your wedding. At Facchianos we recommend 9-12 months before so you do not have to rush, this is supposed to be an enjoyable time of your life with no stress. Most of the designer gowns take 5-6 months for delivery, alterations can take between 6-8 weeks for fittings and altering. If you want a formal bridal sitting most photographers want to do that between 1-2 months before, so you have to have alterations completed by then. Most brides do not know all the details and do not always leave the allotted time. We can do weddings quicker if you plan on purchasing off the rack, or if you want to have the gown rushed, then rushing is additional.
- What if I lose weight after ordering my gown?
-
You can lose weight, but we still recommend ordering 9-12 months before. 99% of brides need some sort of alterations and any experienced wedding seamstress will tell you it is easy to take in a gown, and it will look just perfect, even taking it down multiple sizes. We DO NOT recommend ordering a smaller size because there is a lot of stress in wedding planning and trying to fit into a smaller gown will just add to your stress. It is far more expensive to let out a gown or add panels so it is best just to order it in your present size and have alterations if needed.
- What do I need to do for alterations?
-
Alterations are scheduled with an alterations person, off site. You will need to bring your shoes and any undergarments you will need to wear under your gown. If you do not have them you may purchase some of those here, we have bra cups, and slips for added fullness.
- When do I need to order my bridesmaids dresses?
-
Facchianos recommends ordering bridesmaids at least 5 months prior to your wedding. Bridesmaids do need to be measured professionally and 99% of them will need alterations, manufacturers do not offer custom sizing. Facchianos always takes measurement to determine size in order to minimize alterations.
