Bonjulies Bridal and Prom Boutique, in downtown Horseheads, keeps a written record of every prom gown it sells.
You are one-of-a-kind, and we want you to feel that way during your magical night, so we created a prom registry. We keep track of each dress sold, so we never sell the same dress to the same school dance!
The shop has been at this since 1994, and the store calls itself the Twin Tier's most unique, sought-after bridal boutique. Bridal is a big part of the business, and prom gets its own appointments. Prom visits are booked online.
The prom labels on the floor
Bonjulies describes each of its prom designers.
- Sherri Hill
- Described by the shop as designed to enhance and fit the female form, with fashion-forward styling and wearability.
- Jovani and JVN
- Jovani for the big statement, and JVN, which the store recommends to any teenage-fashion lover at an affordable price.
- Amarra and Primavera Couture
- Primavera gets the shop's shortest blurb, stylish and magnificent gowns, and Amarra sits alongside it.
- Faviana and Dave and Johnny
- The shop describes Dave and Johnny as couture fashion redesigned at affordable prices. Faviana is about celebrating yourself at life's special moments.
- Chandelier, Colors and Sydney's Closet
- Sydney's Closet is the store's pick for trendy plus size prom dresses.
Not every style from every designer hangs on the rack. Call with the style number of a specific dress, and staff will check availability with the designer.
Fittings, shoes and a Wednesday tux delivery
Bonjulies has a seamstress on site who alters prom, mothers and bridesmaid dresses bought from the shop. Alterations run by appointment, and the store's advice for that fitting is specific.
Bring to the fitting
- The shoes you will wear on the night
- The undergarments you will wear on the night
Shoes are in stock, and so are bras and cups.
You can also leave the gown at the store until final pick-up.
