    Shipping Policy

    Made-to-order production timeline

    Most pieces available in our online boutique are made-to-order. Standard production typically requires 12–14 weeks before shipping.
    Timelines may vary based on design complexity, fabric availability, seasonal production volume, and designer capacity.

    Accessories or items marked “In Stock” ship within 3–7 business days unless otherwise noted.

    Order processing

    Production begins once your order is confirmed. Because each piece is created specifically for you, production and delivery timelines may vary. If additional time is required due to supplier delays, fabric restocks, or seasonal volume, our team will notify you.

    Shipping methods and tracking

    Once production is complete, all orders are shipped via UPS, FedEx, or USPS.
    A tracking number will be emailed once your order leaves our studio or designer partner.

    Delivery estimates

    Total delivery time includes production time plus shipping time.
    Duchess Bridal is not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs, weather, or events outside our control.

    International orders

    International shipments may be subject to customs duties, taxes, and import fees, which are the responsibility of the client.

    Lost or stolen packages

    Once a package is marked as “delivered” by the carrier, responsibility for the package transfers to the client. Please contact the carrier directly to initiate a lost or stolen package claim.

    Boutique vs. atelier timelines

    The production timelines listed above apply exclusively to items purchased through our online boutique. In-store bridal gown orders follow their own designer-specific timelines and policies, which are communicated during your appointment.

    For any questions regarding shipping, production timelines, or order status, contact hello@duchessbridalboutique.com.
