Yes, each client at Marigold Bridal is given a private and personalized experience. An appointment is necessary to ensure that we provide you with the dedicated time and attention required to make your visit not only memorable but also successful in finding your perfect gown and working out all the details. This approach allows us to focus entirely on you, offering a tailored service that meets your unique needs and preferences.

At Marigold Bridal, our wedding gown collection starts at $1,600 and goes up to $9,000+. These prices INCLUDE our comprehensive made-to-measure service. This means each gown is tailored to fit your exact measurements, significantly reducing or even eliminating the need for further alterations after the gown arrives. Generally, alterations after the gown is made can cost between $500-$1,000 in the market, but with our service, you can expect to pay less than you would normally or even nothing at all!

Made-to-Measure Gowns We have samples of gowns averaging between sizes 6-12, with some smaller and some larger. The samples will fit most brides for purposes of trying on and seeing the design. We will be taking 20+ measurements to create you the exact size and design that best matches you and your venue. Consigned Gowns Sizes vary depending on what comes in. We have anywhere from a size 0 to 22. Please contact us in advance of booking to make sure we have a size you can work with.

At Marigold Bridal, we take pride in offering a remarkable selection of handmade gowns crafted by skilled artisans across Europe. While we do not provide from-scratch custom-made services, most of our gowns are highly customizable to create a new and unique look tailored to your preferences. This allows you to personalize details such as the neckline, sleeves, embellishments, and more, ensuring your gown perfectly reflects your vision for your special day.

When coming in for your bridal dress fitting at Marigold Bridal, it is important to bring any undergarments that you plan to wear with your dress. This includes items such as spanks, a strapless bra, and the shoes you intend to wear (for height reference only). These elements are crucial for ensuring an accurate fit and visualizing how the dress will look on your big day. For the best experience, we recommend wearing undergarments in a skin tone color or white so that you can properly see how the dress sits on you.

We ask that you bring up to 2 people with you. We find that the narrower your group is, the more focused they are on the success of finding your dream dress. If a loved one can't make it to the appointment, we can do video calls to make sure they're "there" when you need them most!

Depending on the style of the gown and any design changes, on average, it will take anywhere from 4-6 months for your gown to arrive completed at Marigold Bridal. Once it arrives and passes our quality check, we will promptly contact you to arrange for pick up. We are committed to ensuring that each gown meets the highest standards before it reaches you, and we appreciate your patience during this important process. Rush orders are possible on some styles. Please reach out directly via email or text if you're concerned about time, and we can assist you right away!

Consignment to a retail store means that we will try to sell your goods on your behalf for a set period of time, in our case 6 months. Within that 6 month period, your gown will be physically available in store for our bride's appointments. They can see, feel the fabric, and fall in love with your gown the way you did! We will handle all the foot work, fit questions, concerns, etc so that you don't have to worry about the sales process. We can ensure your gown gets the exposure it needs to find its next bride! Once sold, you, the consignor, will receive 45% of the sale price without having to lift a finger! If the gown isn't sold within 6 months, there may be an option to renew for more time. If interested, let us know and we can send you a copy of our consignment agreement to go over and discuss together.

Normally we would be inclined to say that we would prefer only the latest styles, however each case is unique. Some dress styles no matter how classic at the time, would be difficult to sell in today's market while others would be more popular. We decide on a case by case basis. Please know, the sooner you sell a wedding gown from the time of purchase, the higher the opportunity for not just a sale, but more money. Gowns oxidize over time and start to turn yellow-ish, delicate tulle can start to get holes. We will only accept gowns that are not oxidizing, have no holes, and no missing pieces or stains. We want to offer our brides the best possible quality.

Brand new gowns with tags are priced at around 20% off the market retail price. It all depends on how new and popular the style is. A like-new gown (worn once) will have to be further assessed to check for how loved it looks to determine a fair price. We will decide together on a price that works for us, and feels good for you!

Selling a wedding gown without a store to physically sell it in can be difficult. We fully encourage you however to take your time and try out the process. There are so many advantages of having a physical store that displays your gown for every appointment. Many more eyes, and the ability for the bride to be to actually experience your gown in person. We handle all of the questions and concerns regarding fitting to styling, and every logistic in-between. Marigold Bridal offers consignment specifically because we feel that every bride to be deserves the opportunity to have a bridal appointment where she can feel special and excited. Shopping for a second hand dress online shouldn't mean that they're stuck to online browsing. We want to give everyone a chance to feel amazing just like you did when you went shopping for your gown. Let's work together and give people an experience they'll always adore and remember, when they put on your gown and just know that this is it. 😍

Once your gown sells, we'll be contacting you to discuss how you would like to receive payment! Payment will be sent the following month after it has sold (for bookkeeping purposes). For example, if your dress sells in February, your payment will come in March. All details will be discussed at the time of consignment so that all of your questions are answered and we can make the personalized decision on what works best for you!
