Shopping for a wedding dress in lock down
You may have read my recent article where CT2 suits showcased their ‘At Home’ service powered by AI technology. Well good oul’ tech brings us some extra joy as a bridal boutique in West Meath, The Bridal Lounge, has leveraged a blend of technology and delivery to your door so you can try on your potential perfect gown..
I caught up with Abi who owns and operates The Bridal Lounge
At Home Try On Service
“I have been hosting Virtual Consultations since November and I never knew just how much of a demand there would be for this service. It has been so successful and I will continue to offer this service even when we are back open in person.
With so many new Brides and Bridesmaids booked in for Jan that were Summer’21 Weddings, I knew I needed to find another way of helping these Ladies find their dresses. I had been trialing out the At Home Try On service initially with Bridesmaids gowns and have now extended the service to Bridal gowns!
The process consists of an initial Virtual Consultation that can be booked via the website which will automatically generate the Zoom meeting and details. The call lasts for an hour where we discuss your vision and establish your Bridal style. We narrow down 3 styles and for a small on loan fee, you get to try these gowns on in the comfort and most importantly the safety of your own home.
They are couriered to your house and included in the box are clamps for helping you fit the gowns, a tape measure for your measurements, chart on how to complete your measurements and a little belt as you never know when you may need that little extra sparkle. You get to keep hold of the gowns for 3 days and they are couriered back on day 4.
This service is perfect for those Ladies who may feel a little tight with time and don’t want to hold out until shops reopen to purchase off the rail. This option still allows for Brides to choose the most amazing dress and have it made and delivered in time.
Trying on at home in their own comfort zone will deliver a more enjoyable experience. A follow up Virtual call is then made to ensure measurements are correct and to get the ball rolling in getting your dress made. Gowns are then couriered back to the boutique and all fees paid are redeemable against your deposit/purchase.”
