Hello all you Disney Bride experts!
My questions are regarding Carolyn Allen....I live in NY and want to ship, if possible, my dress to Oraldno rather than bringing it on the plane! Does Carolyn allow you to do this? Also what is the approximate cost to ship a dress? Also the approximate how much is it to steam a dress?

Thank you in Advance!
 
Yes you can ship it to her. She charges I want to say $18 for storage, I could be wrong. I also shipped my MOH dress in with my dress. depending on how much your gown weighs depends on how much shipping will cost... mine was under $50. It is worth it.... if you want them to ship it back home they will do that for you too.
 
Nevermind I was wrong about the storage fee...15 for gown 8 for original dress.

Here is an email that can help you.

I just wanted to let you know that the steaming appointment you requested was available :) I have reserved an appointment for you on May 7th, at 7 a.m. Please be sure to call us with your room number at the Port Orleans Riverside when you check in. The Disney hotels will not give out that information, and we will not be able to find you without it. I have reserved enough time to steam your gown and 1 additional dress. If you think you might have more items that will need steaming, please let me know so I can schedule additional time. There is no cancellation fee if they do not need to be steamed. I just want to make sure we have everything ready on time!

Do you need a recommendation for Cosmetology services? We highly recommend Beaute Speciale. www.beautespeciale.com They come directly to your villa and are also available for trial run appointments if you need help choosing a style before the big day. You can reach Ana directly at 321-299-2843 or send her an email at info@beautespeciale.com. We use their services for all our fashion shows, photo shoots and commercials.

The price of your bridal gown steaming is $85, and this price includes a veil and a small wrap. Larger items, such as capes and crinolines (slips), are considered additional items. Additional items, dresses, and tuxedos are $20 each. You may pre-pay with a credit card up to one month prior, or pay with cash or travelers checks at the time of service. We do not accept checks, and we cannot accept credit cards at the steaming.

If you decide to ship your garments to our store before your wedding, there is an additional storage fee of $15 for the first garment and $8 per additional garment. This fee includes delivery if we are steaming your garments at your hotel. The following are considered 'single garments' when calculating storage fees:

*

A gown, veil, and small wrap
*

A bridesmaid or formal dress with a small wrap
*

A suit or tuxedo (jacket, trousers, shirt, vest, tie, etc.)
*

As with steamings, large items like capes and crinolines are considered additional pieces

Our shipping guidelines are as follows:

*

Please do not include items that we are not seaming, such as shoes, undergarments, headpieces (unless attached to a veil that is to be steamed), or purses.
*

We recommend shipping your garments no more than 2 weeks before your wedding. Additional storage fees will apply for garments shipped farther in advance.
*

Be sure to use a delivery service that allows you to track and insure your garments (UPS, Fed Ex, etc.).
*

The outside of the box should list the wedding party name and wedding date. For example: Smith/Jones 2/14/04
*

Also, please enclose a detailed list of all items you are including so we can inventory them when they arrive. This list should also have a contact name, address, and telephone number in case the label on the outside of the box is damaged and unreadable.
*

Payment for storage must be prepaid or enclosed with your garments and may be made by credit card (Visa, Master Card, American Express, or Discover) or money order. We do not accept checks, and we do not recommend sending cash.
*

All steamings and storage fees are subject to an additional 6.5% sales tax.
 
I did this too - it was one of the best decisions we made! It only cost me $30 to ship my dress FedEx, but it was squashed into its original box.

Carolyn Allen also picked up and shipped the dress home for me - fabulous! :banana:
 

You are awesome! Thank you so much! It's not as expensive as I was anticipating! By the way, your wedding pictures are beautiful! I am actually getting married at SBP!
 
I'm going through them as well for the 2 tuxes we need and the steaming of my dress, the MOH dress and my mom's dress...

They are soooo nice!!!!! Everytime I call them they are so sweet and helpful!!

Aww thank you very much! You will love SBP, it's gorgeous. They are affordable and so sweet. You will probably talk with Keith on the phone...he is Sue's husband (she steams the dresses and OMG they are the cutest couple) anyway he is so funny. You won't regret having them be a part of your special day.

Good luck with the rest of your planning.
