Think Twice Before You Buy Your Wedding Dress Online!

More and more people are shopping online for a multitude of things due to convenience and often a cheaper price tag. While there are a lot of things that can be purchased online, your wedding dress really should not be one of them. When you buy your wedding dress online, you should consider a few risks that you take before you make the purchase. Today, our South Florida Bridal Boutique has a few risks to consider before you buy your wedding dress online.


Low Quality

A huge problem in the fashion industry is the sale of counterfeit dresses. It is easy for a shady store to sell a knock-off dress online. Your first clue is a price that is too good to be true. If the gown is discounted more than 50%, it is probably a fake.

Counterfeit dresses will claim to be the real thing, even using photos from the designers that they are copying. Brides that have had this happen to them were devastated when they received it in the mail. These gowns can be made of inferior fabrics, and while the may resemble the dress that was ordered, it will be sewn in a much different way. Sometimes the color won't even be what you ordered. Only stores that are listed on the designer's website as authorized retailers are allowed to sell the real gowns.

The (lack of) Customer Service

When you come to your wedding dress shopping appointment at Bridal Couture of the Palm Beaches, you will be the center of attention. We will listen to your likes, dislikes, needs, and desires for your dream bridal gown. After that, we will assist you in trying on different styles until you find exactly what you love, and we are always here to answer any questions or concerns that you may have after you purchase your wedding dress.

Ordering your gown online is done only between you and the computer, usually with no assistance offered. Many online wedding dress stores also have an "All Sales Are Final" rule, meaning once it arrives on your doorstep, you are stuck with it. The companies that are not trustworthy are also very hard to get in touch with by phone or email if you can get them to answer you at all.

Bad Fit

A photo of a gorgeous bridal gown on a model may look perfect to you, but there is no promise that it will look like that on your own body. Every woman's body is different, and without physically trying on the wedding dress, there is no way to know which style looks the best on your particular body type. Also, there are many shades of "white" when it comes to fashion, and trying the dress on is the best way to know which one highlights your skin tone.

Taking your own measurements for ordering can be a big mistake. Only a skilled seamstress knows exactly how to take them correctly, and letting anyone else do it can be a gamble. A dress that is very far off from the correct size when it arrives can cause you to spend a lot of money on alterations.

You Miss the Amazing Experience

The most important reason to shop at our South Florida wedding dress store is that shopping online robs you of the amazing experience you get in a store. This is a once in a lifetime event, and you should savor every moment of it, making lots of wonderful memories in the process. You and the people that are closest to you should spend this time shopping, laughing, and enjoying it all.
