More info from the FAQ section on their website...
1. Are the gowns authentic designer bridal gowns?
Yes. All of our bridal gowns are 100% authentic designer bridal gowns as described.
2. Where do the bridal gowns come from?
Bride Couture™ gets its bridal gowns directly from the manufacturers (designers) and from high end retailers across the country who carry the designer wedding dresses.
3. Are the bridal gowns new?
Most of the bridal gowns are samples from retail stores which means that they may have been tried on. Some of the bridal gowns are purchased from the designers which may be new and have never been tried on. Regardless, Bride Couture™ inspects each wedding dress before purchasing to make sure the bridal gowns can be worn without any visible marks or permanent damage to the gown. If there is any defect or mark on a wedding dress it will be noted in the comments of each dress description. Bride Couture™ has a select professional bridal gown cleaner and seamstress who makes sure every bridal gown is in perfect to almost perfect condition. All wedding dresses are again inspected before shipment. We pride ourselves in having the best selection of high end wedding dresses in the best condition.
4. How often does Bride Couture™ get new bridal gowns in?
New wedding dresses are added constantly depending on the availability from our suppliers. We like to add bridal gowns at least every three weeks. Check back if you do not find the bridal gown of your dreams. New bridal gowns will be added to the end of the gown search results.
5. Why buy from Bride Bride Couture™ and not buy from a retail store?
Even when purchasing a sample bridal gown from a retail store Bride Couture’s prices will usually be much less due to the volume we purchase in. As a matter of fact we guarantee that we will have the lowest price on any wedding dress sold in a retail store. That is our Price Guarantee. Additionally, we provide the bride with the opportunity to return the bridal gown if not completely satisfied. See Satisfaction Guarantee.
6. How soon will I get my wedding dress?
Because we have the bridal gowns on hand your bridal gown will be shipped within 2-4 weeks maximum. Gowns are usually shipped within two weeks of placing an order. *This is a bonus for those brides having a short engagement and wanting a designer wedding dress which usually takes 4-7 months to order.
7. What if I am a size 6 and the wedding dress I want is a size 10?
Sizing can usually be accomplished two sizes down or one size up. Thus, a size 10 will easily be altered by a professional seamstress to a size 6; a size 8 to a size 4; a size 10 to a size 12. You get the picture. Keep in mind that a professional wedding gown seamstress is recommended. You can get an idea of the measurements of the gown you want to purchase by viewing the size chart of the designer. *Remember that wedding dresses are sized smaller than normal street clothes sizes. A size 10 is closer to a normal size 8. You can also try on gowns made by the designer you wish to purchase at a retail store near you to get an idea of what size range will work for you.
8. What if you do not have the bridal gown I have my heart set on?
Because we have access to many retailers and designers there is a good chance we can do the work in locating your dream wedding dress and still save you at least 50% off the retail price. Simply e-mail us at
[email protected]. Please include the designer and style number and our staff will begin locating your bridal gown. We can usually have the wedding dress to you within 4-5 weeks if located.
9. What if I cannot decide between several gowns on your site?
IF YOU WANT TO TRY MORE THAN ONE GOWN PLEASE CALL OR E-MAIL THE ORDER IN AS WE WILL ONLY REQUIRE A DEPOSIT FOR THE GOWNS!
A popular option is to purchase 2-4 gowns, try them on and send back the ones that you do not want. Shipping is very economical because the gowns will be shipped together in one box. Please contact us and we will calculate the shipping for the gowns. A maximum of four gowns can be shipped for this purpose.
