The Experience

Our number one goal is to serve our brides and make shopping for your wedding dress fun and stress-free. From the moment you make an appointment with us, we aim to do whatever we can to make your dreams come true.  We know that your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life, and we want the experience of selecting your wedding gown to be a special part of the journey.

You’ll get VIP treatment. When you book an appointment with us, we’ll have you fill out an online form with some basic details about yourself and your wedding. This helps us get acquainted with you and prepare for your appointment. When you arrive, you will be paired with one of our knowledgeable consultants who will guide you during your appointment. She will take some time to get to know you better and learn what styles you’re interested in. Choosing a wedding dress is a big decision and sometimes an overwhelming one. Your consultant is there to help you in and out of the dresses and to give you insight and helpful information throughout the appointment. Many brides feel frustrated by pushy sales representatives when shopping, but our consultants are quite different. Whether you know exactly what you’re looking for or you need some guidance, your consultant is there to facilitate your wishes and to use her expertise to help you select the dress of your dreams! 

Your appointment is all about you. At Bustle, we want to celebrate you! You are special and unique, as is your wedding day, and we want to honor that while you search for your wedding gown. It can detract from the experience to share a fitting room or a mirror with other brides. That’s why we strive to make your appointment a more private matter. You will only share a room with those you choose to bring along to your appointment. Your consultant will also give you privacy to share your thoughts about the dresses you try on (though, please feel free to be honest with her, too!). 

We respect your budget. When you fill out our online form, you can select a price range for your dress. That way we know from the start what your budget is, so there’s no need for you to feel uncomfortable discussing it during the appointment if you don’t want to. Your consultant will never pressure you to buy a dress out of your price range. You can try on dresses and feel confident that you’re not going to fall in love with something that’s not in the wedding budget. 

You’ll walk away with a designer gown at a discounted price. At Bustle, we sell sample wedding gowns. This means our dresses have been tried on but never altered or worn by a bride. Everything in our store has been discounted 15-75% off retail prices and most of our dresses are priced between $1,000 and $3,000.

We love being able to offer brides a high-end, personal experience as you shop for the perfect designer gown at an affordable price. From your engagement to your wedding day, we hope each part of the planning process is special and meaningful for you. It’s a huge joy for us to be part of your story!
