Virtual Bridal Appointments

Alexandra, on April 27, 2020 at 3:38 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 2

Hi fellow brides!

Has anyone utilized virtual bridal appointments?!

I was supposed to have my first bridal appointment this past Saturday (4/25) and due to COVID-19, non-essential businesses in NJ are closed Smiley sad . I'm not sure when they will re-open, but I discovered that the bridal salon I was going to is now doing virtual appointments! My wedding is in approximately 10 months. I would fill out a questionnaire, meet my bridal stylist who will show me a selection of gowns, then I will be able to choose up to 4 gowns that will be shipped directly to me to try on. Pretty cool! Obviously I'm hoping when it comes time for the first fitting everything will be up and running so I will have no issues.


If you've done this, how was your experience? Did you ask about alterations, fittings, etc.?

    Hi Alexandra! You'll probably be among some of the first brides to do this!! I think it's awesome that they're accommodating you in this way!

    You can absolutely also ask about alterations, ordering timeline, etc. to prep yourself with some basic info about the shop and their policies. I'd recommend doing a lot of dress style and silhouette research before your virtual appointment - the better you can explain the styles you like, the better the store will be able to select gowns!

    You can also think strategically about the 4 gowns you'll get to try on. Are you at the beginning of your dress search? Then maybe you go with 4 completely different styles so that you can get a better idea of which silhouettes work for you! If you have a pretty clear idea of the style you like then you can get way more narrow with your selections!

    I haven’t actually done this - waiting off until July to shop - but lots of bridal shops in my town (Miami) are also doing this! Look up Brides Of Florida on IG, the owner Macky has a great system in place now of how she’s going about “Saying Yes at Home!”. She offers a step by step process of how it all works, maybe she’ll have some more answers! 😋
