✨ These gowns are sample pieces from boutiques, giving you access to designer gowns at an unbeatable value
✨ In addition to the gown sale, there will be merchandise to shop and browse through! Sample Sale Appointments are non-negotiable on timing — arriving early will not allow pre-browsing and only access to the merchandise and to explore the property while you wait for your appointment.
There will be NO FOOD or BEVERAGE at this event, BUT we will be providing a token Resort Gift Card with the value based on attendance for our registered bride!

PLEASE REMEMBER — This event will be for 2026 and 2027 brides mainly — please note most Summer 2026 should be in alterations by May with gowns in hand, so this would be an event that would need to equate to finding the perfect gown for early 2026 brides, which is totally possible. Though we love a good deal, tight timelines are no fun either so just consider that! 🙁
