BRIDAL CONSULTANTS HAVE AN EXPERIENCED EYE- Bridal Shop consultants typically have years of experience helping women pick out bridal gowns. They know all about Body Types, Colors, Matching Dresses w/ Venue Type, Gown Designers & Collections, Colors, and more. This provides priceless insights into selecting the right gown for you. On the other hand, there is very little or no customer service experience when shopping online. It's more like playing the lottery and hoping you get it right. That’s not a strategy you want to count on.
PEACE OF MIND - In addition to getting In-Store customer service, you also will have the peace of mind that goes with purchasing your dress from a store. You can always call or visit the store if you have questions before your wedding date. After buying from an online seller, best of luck trying to hunt them down for answers. Typically these online stores are based out of China, India, or other countries that you can't exactly visit on a whim.
COST - While the upfront cost of a dress online may be less expensive than from a Bridal Store, you have to consider the actual cost. By actual, I mean, after all, is said and done, how much did you spend on the dress? You can count everything from shipping costs, additional alteration costs, and emotional costs.
EMOTIONAL STRESS - A wedding dress is one of the essential components of a wedding for the bride. If something goes wrong, that can result in major stress and anxiety for what should be one of the most special events of your life. You have to treat the bridal dress selection process with the utmost delicacy and tenderness.
