FAQs
What is the price range for your wedding dresses?
There’s a dress for every bride at Vivid Bridal Boutique. We proudly have a wide range of prices that vary between $1,700 and $4,500. Most of our gowns are about $2,200 – and we always ask our brides for their budget to make sure we find a dress for the right price. We love to help everyone and respecting your budget is a must for us!
We also have gowns ready to go with you on the same day of your bridal appointment. Perfect for brides with a close wedding day!
What sizes are your samples of wedding dresses?
Our sample sizes range from size 8 to size 30.
Did you know wedding dresses can run up to three sizes too small? It all depends on the designer as each one has their own size chart. For example, if you’re a street size 8, chances are you’ll be a bridal size 12 or 14.
Don’t feel discouraged! You are beautiful and this is just a number. Your dress will not truly be your size until it is altered to your body shape anyway.
Do you carry Plus Size wedding dresses?
Absolutely YES! Vivid Bridal Boutique is all about embracing everybody and every body.
Not only do we have Plus Size dresses but we also offer dresses specifically made for the curvy bride. We carry two lines specializing in Plus Size gowns.
What is a bridal Sample Sale?
Sample Sales, such as our Bridal Fashion Sale, are how we make space on our racks for new arrivals, but also to give you special discounts on rare dresses that have been discontinued. The dresses are sold in “as is” condition, but we take fantastic care of our gowns.
Do I need to make an appointment to try on wedding dresses?
Yes, this is the only way we can assure you that you’ll have a fitting room designated to you as well as a bridal stylist to help you the moment you enter our doors.
How do I book an appointment to try on wedding dresses?
You can book your appointment to try on bridal gowns right here! If you don’t find a time that works for you, you can send us a message on our contact page!
Is there a fee to book an appointment to try on wedding dresses?
Yes. At Vivid Bridal Boutique, it is all about you!
We offer personalized and memorable experiences to all of our brides. Each bride is assigned to a bridal stylist for your one-on-one appointment. We want to make the most of your time with us and to help you to find your dream wedding dress. A $45 fee will be charged at the time of your booking and will be applied to your wedding dress purchase when you buy it the same day.
How many guests can I bring to my wedding dress appointment?
We are an intimate boutique and for this reason, we ask our brides to limit their guests to 3 people. We understand that some of you would like to bring the whole entourage, but we want everyone in your party comfortably seated for this experience.
Also, let us share a very important tip: Big entourages can supply you with too many opinions and can get very overwhelming for you! Think of the people that you really want to be there to share this very special moment with you. Plus, at our store you can take pictures, record videos, and FaceTime; these are great tools to share your memories with those that couldn’t be at the appointment.
If you would still like to bring a bigger party, give us a call and we can set up an appointment or you can opt for one of our Special Private Appointments.
What should I bring to try on wedding dresses?
We’re often asked ‘what to wear wedding dress shopping?’ and the truth is, it’s completely up to you! Many brides-to-be find it helpful to wear a strapless bra and ‘Spanx’ to ensure they feel comfortable and confident while trying on our range of dresses.
Also, if you have a treasured family heirloom, like a veil or piece of jewelry you know you’ll be wearing on your big day, we would love for you to bring it along. It’s such a special moment when you find a dress you love and it can be even more magical when you can see it paired with your unique accessories.
We should mention that we don’t supply high heels at Vivid Bridal Boutique, primarily for hygiene reasons and because everyone has different size and style preferences. But don’t worry about the lack of height – we’ve got a perfect pedestal for that. It’s like your personal stage, allowing you to envision exactly how you’ll look on your wedding day. We can’t wait to assist you in finding your dream dress!
When should I order my wedding dress?
When we say that wedding dresses take up to 8 months to come in, we mean it. Depending on the designer and time of the year, that’s really the turnaround.
Also, the majority of the brides need alterations and we recommend starting this process two to three months out from your wedding day.
Another aspect attached to wedding dress shopping is… everything else! Until you buy your dress, a lot of other things are on hold, such as bridesmaids’ dresses, decorations, flowers, etc. Simply because this is your day and everything goes around you. No pressure lol.
I am on a diet and I’m sure I will have lost weight in the next few months. When should I order my bridal gown?
Every bride and body type is different and we want to make sure we can accommodate everyone. A good rule of thumb is that if your wedding is less than a year out, you should book your appointment as soon as possible. The ordering process for some dresses can take longer than others, and we want to make sure you’re in the dress of your dreams without needing to pay a rush fee. Let our stylists know about your diet plans and they will guide you through the designer’s size chart, and together you will order the dress in the right size.
I was measured at a specific size. Will I still need alterations even if I ordered the right size?
Most likely, yes.
Let’s put it this way: Two brides can be the same size, but have very different body shapes. Both brides will likely need different alterations to make the dress fit their specific curves.
Also, when we order a certain size for you, we are ordering the one that is closest to your measurements and body. Keep in mind that this is still a commercial size and not a custom-made dress.
When should I start alterations on my wedding dress?
We recommend starting this process two to three months out from your wedding day.
DO YOU OFFER ALTERATIONS ON BRIDAL GOWNS?
No we do not offer alteration services at Vivid Bridal Boutique.
Are all sales final at your bridal store?
Yes. Simply because when we order a dress for you, that dress is for you.
The designer immediately starts the process of cutting the fabric for your dress… or if it’s already in production they assign a dress for you. The designers don’t let us switch out dresses and we can’t take any orders back.
Let’s think about it for a quick second: would you like to buy a dress that has been taken into someone else’s home and then returned to the store? No, right? So we don’t take any dresses back. All sales are final, with no exceptions.
The good news is: We are not pushy AT ALL. We will not sell you a dress until you are 100% sure that that is your dress. So, no reason to bring it back!
I’m only a few months away from my wedding and I haven’t bought my dress. Can you help me?
We love you already, okay? We will do absolutely everything in our power to find you the most beautiful wedding dress there is. The first step is to schedule an appointment with us.
The good news is that our designers are great with in-stock inventory and we can check what they have in production and grab your dress ASAP. Also, we have a great selection of off-the-rack dresses, and if you fall in love with one of these you can take it home with you the same day as your appointment. How great is that? So, yes! We can help you: Email us or Call Us
Will it be difficult to find a parking space when I visit your bridal store in Woodbridge?
Not at all! We are located in a street mall with plenty of parking space. And it is free!
Will I be charged if I miss my appointment?
The appointment fee is non-refundable, but we can reschedule you once if you call within the same day.
