Colors and Swatches

Online images of products may vary due to display and monitor settings. If a dress has multiple color options it will be listed under the product options. We are not responsible for any color variations, and recommend you view colors in person or order a swatch to ensure the right color is ordered.

Each manufacturer has its own color names and hues and they vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. For example, an Bill Levkoff navy dress does not perfectly match a Venus navy dress.

In order to ensure all the dye lots match for bridesmaid dresses, we required that you order the same style and color dress and we place the order together.

We are not liable for mistaken color selections.

Sizing

A professional should take all of your measurments. On our website you will find size charts for each manufacturer, if your chart is not listed, please email info@heartstringsbridal.com and one will be emailed to you. The manufacturers size chart establishes a standard size. Your measurements determine the closest size. All dresses fit each person diferently and rarely fit PERFECTLY! Your dress may require alterations. Sizes have been scaled to fit as close as possible to your measurments. If you request a size that differs from the size recommended from the designer we are not responsible. If you gain, lose weight or become pregnant after the order has been placed we cannot be held responsible for the size change. When you take your dress to a seamstress we cannot be liable for their interpertations of what size "should have been ordered."
