Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose a full service salon over buying from an online company?
There are many reasons to choose a full service store like Minerva's Bridal. As a full service salon, we provide alteration services, one-to-one service by professional bridal consultants, fittings, and the peace of mind of delivering a genuine designer gown that's just what you're looking for! Online shops can't offer that.

How long has Minerva's Bridal been in business?
We've been proudly serving Central Florida since 1987.

Do I need to make an appointment?
We highly recommend that you make an appointment, but you are welcome to walk in. Please note that if you come in without an appointment, you may have to wait for help, as our store can get very busy. If you make an appointment, we can better dedicate our time to you for the best service possible.

How long does it take to special order bridal gowns?
A special order gown typically takes 12-16 weeks to order.

Do you give style numbers of gowns?
For the protection of you, our designers and our store, we do not give out style numbers. There are many websites that claim to sell "genuine" designer gowns for extremely low prices. As we say, if the price is too good to be true, it's probably not a genuine designer gown.

Do you do alterations?
Yes, we do all of our alterations in-house by experienced seamstresses.

Do you rent tuxedos?
Yes, we do! You can find our tuxedo store, Uptown Tux adjacent to Minerva's Bridal Suite.
