What to expect when you arrive:
The So Sweet Boutique Experience!
From the moment you check in, your journey to finding the perfect gown begins. You’ll be invited to select your first three preferred styles, thoughtfully chosen as the starting point of a curated and personalized experience.
Once your selections are made, you will be escorted to your own private dressing suite and introduced to your personal stylist, who will remain with you throughout your appointment. Your stylist will expertly assist you in and out of each gown, ensuring the process is effortless, comfortable, and refined—while also preserving the beauty and integrity of our designer collection. A dedicated support team manages all re-hanging and garment care, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience without distraction. We also want your guest to sit back, relax and take part of the memorable occasion, we do all the work!
Your private dressing room is assigned to you for 45 minutes to one hour, providing ample time to explore multiple silhouettes and styles. Through years of experience, we’ve discovered that a thoughtful, curated approach leads to the most confident decision. While we begin with three gowns on your holding rack due to the craftsmanship and weight of our dresses, this is simply the starting point—not a limitation. You are encouraged to explore additional gowns as time allows, saving your most-loved selections to re-try on. We recommend reserving the final 5–10 minutes of your appointment to revisit your top two to three favorites, allowing you to make your final selection with confidence and clarity.
Our collection is elegantly merchandised by size and then by color, creating a seamless and intuitive shopping experience. We encourage you to explore one size above and below your typical size, as designer sizing varies and many of our gowns feature luxurious stretch fabrics that allow for a beautifully adaptable fit. For complete transparency and ease, all pricing is displayed on the outside of each garment bag, allowing you to shop comfortably within your desired budget. At So Sweet Boutique, we believe luxury includes honesty—there are no unexpected prices or checkout surprises.
During peak season, wait times may extend up to two hours. While you wait, you are welcome to browse our showroom and preview gowns, allowing you to identify favorites and more styles to try on prior to your turn. If you prefer to step away, enjoy the mall or dine nearby—our registration system will notify you via text when your private styling suite is nearly ready. We kindly recommend planning your visit accordingly to fully enjoy the experience we provide. When it is your turn, you’ll receive our full attention. On average, guests try on 8–10 gowns during the alloted time frame. Should you wish to explore additional styles and another guest is waiting, we may briefly pause to ensure every client receives the same elevated level of service—after which we will gladly continue assisting you
We are honored to create an experience that is both memorable and meaningful, because we understand how special this moment truly is. As part of our commitment to exclusivity, we proudly offer a local dress registry, ensuring that no two gowns of the same style and color are sold to the same school for prom or homecoming within the same school year from our boutique. Your stylist will personally verify availability through our registry prior to purchase. Please note, this registry applies exclusively to in-store purchases and does not extend to online orders. We cannot wait to welcome you and help you say yes to the gown you’ve been dreaming of.
XoXo,
So Sweet Boutique Formal & Prom ✨-
