Weddingbee Boards

A bridal salon is a place that sells wedding dresses to brides. They also often sell bridesmaid dresses and wedding accessories such as veils, shoes, and jewelry.

There are several types of bridal salons:

• Department Store - These salons are located in popular department stores. Examples include Sak's Fifth Avenue and Macy's.
• Bridal Boutiques - They are typically smaller, more intimate salons, often carrying an edited selection of dresses. Examples include Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier.
• Full-service Salons - These salons offer a full range of wedding dresses, along with a broader selection of accessories then you will find in your average boutique. Examples include RK Bridal and Kleinfeld.
• Consignment Store - These salons offer second hand dresses from brides. Examples include White Chicago.
• Non-profit Boutiques - These salons resell donated and used dresses. Examples include The Bridal Garden and Brides Against Breast Cancer.

Tips

• Shopping for your wedding dress can be an emotional experience! You may want to share the experience with a close friend or family member.
• A good way to get designer dresses on a budget is to look at consignment stores or non-profit boutiques.
• If you are not sure what type of dress you are looking for, you may want to go to a salon known for its customer service. Smaller bridal boutiques are often known for their customer service, while consignment stores and non-profit boutiques are usually not staffed by knowledgeable staff.
