Personalized Bridal Appointments
Regardless of whether you select a standard bridal appointment or a VIP experience, a luxury wedding salon offers a thoughtful and well-planned experience with undivided attention from a team of expert stylists. Bridal consultants at luxury bridal salons typically ask more questions and inquire more about your specific preferences. They’re also well equipped with not only the necessities, but amenities for the bride and her guests. This often includes beverages, champagne, pedestals, large mirrors, ample seating, Instagram-worthy lighting, a highly trained team, and a luxurious space. From the check-in process to the celebratory, “say yes” moment, all details are intentionally and perfectly planned. Whether you’re seeking a glamorous, fairytale, alternative, or classic bridal look, your wedding dress consultation is tailored to your individual preferences and unique vision.
Expert Styling
A luxury bridal salon employs seasoned consultants who understand fabrics, silhouettes, and designer aesthetics. While other bridal shops may have a system that requires you to shop for yourself, an expert bridal consultant at a luxury bridal shop browses, selects, and styles your bridal look for you. Whether you’re drawn to a garden party vibe, an industrial edge, regency elegance, or maximalist drama, their expertise will ensure that you’re guided throughout the entire process.
Bridal consultants at luxury bridal salons require extensive training, previous styling experience, and more credentials than average bridal shops. Consultants are passionate individuals who have made bridal fashion their career. As a result, stylists not only take the time and effort to guide you towards your dream dress, but they are also dedicated to learning about you, your love story, family dynamic, and all of your wedding details.
Customizations & Alterations
High-end bridal boutiques often provide in-house alterations and customization services.
First and foremost, in-house alterations are more streamlined and provide peace of mind for the bride as alterations take place at the same location and with the same team. Fittings generally include the hem, bustle, the molding and sculpting of the gown to the brides’ shape, steaming, and packaging the dress in a cloth garment bag. Luxury bridal salons who offer in-house alterations not only display exemplary service and quality of work, but may also provide additional offerings during the alterations process.
Similarly, because luxury bridal salons, like Kleinfeld, have earned strong reputations in the bridal industry, their teams often work directly with the bridal designer’s team. In instances where a bride has a question or concern regarding a possible customization, the store’s expert team is able to directly call, text, or email the designer him or herself. The store’s team is properly trained to effectively communicate with the design team to find a solution and submit a complete order that is precisely what the bride is asking for. This impeccable attention to detail would not be possible without extensive training and the team’s expertise. As a result, you’re able to create a one-of-a-kind gown that is uniquely yours!
