Answer: Yes, we have coordinating bridal gown jackets for you to choose from.  Whether you need an option for cooler weather, or your ceremony location  These jackets are made from the same fabrics and laces as our bridal
gowns, and are meant to coordinate beautifully with your Alfred Angelo gown.
Question: Can I buy an Alfred Angelo gown online?
Answer:  We recommend that you do not buy your gown over the internet. We have received many
calls from brides who purchased online only to find that they didn't receive the dress they
expected, or it was delivered too late for their wedding. Some received counterfeit dresses,
others received used dresses or the wrong style or size. Some brides have found that buying
over the internet didn't really save them money because they were forced to pay hidden
charges and had trouble finding a qualified alterations specialist who could properly fit their
dress.

This is the most important dress you will ever buy. Saving a few dollars is not worth the risk.
The internet is a great place to narrow down styles before you visit a store. But when it
comes time to purchase, it has been proven time and time again that the best place to buy is
a full service bridal store where you can see, feel and try on the dress before you make a
commitment. Our company stands behind the Alfred Angelo dresses purchased at
authorized bridal retailers.

Answer: In the continental US, extra fabric is usually available to order, your bridal specialist will be
able to check the availability of the fabric at the time you place your order.

Organza - all in 55 colors.  We do not offer Taffeta Jackets or Shawls. Please check with
