We are so happy to be able to open our doors back open to our brides! But if you are not able to come in at this time you can shop for your bridal gown or bridal party dresses right in the comfort of your home, with our virtual shopping appointments!
Here is how our Virtual Bridal Appointment works:
Step 1: Schedule a "Get To Know You" Call
Request a Virtual Bridal Appointment here and we will then give you a ring to have a get to know you phone call. This will help us find out what you are looking for in your wedding gown, the look and feel of your wedding and we will even ask you for your Pinterest board or fave saved images from Instagram.
Step 2: Schedule Your Virtual Appointment
After your phone call we will set up a zoom meeting, where you can invite up to 2 guests to join you!
Step 3: Your Stylist Will Select Gowns For You
During your Zoom call, your stylists who will take you through our boutique as if you were here with us and talk you through our bridal collections. The stylist will then present a collection of gown that she has hand selected for you based on your conversation and the look and feel of your wedding.
Step 4: View Gowns on Mannequins
The stylist will then put 3-5 gowns on mannequins so that you can see the silhouettes and fabrications and how they drape. That is also the perfect time for the stylist to discuss possible accessory options that will complete the look!
Step 5: Send You Gowns
At the end of your appointment, if you are a bride getting married in Fall/Winter 2020 or Spring 2021, you can choose up to three gowns that we will send right to your home to try on!
Step 6: Try Them On!
For your at home try on, we will provide :
- instructions on how to try on the gowns at home
-clips to ensure the best fit
-a return address label
-a measuring tape so if you find the one you can watch our video on how to measure yourself (we are also happy to assist with this process)
-a YES sign so when you select your dream gown you can celebrate and send us your yes picture!
We can also set up a Skype, FaceTime or Zoom call with one of our stylists to help you through this process, right in the comfort of your home!
Step 7: Celebrate!
