What To Know Before An Appointment At Chic Parisien

Here at Chic Parisien, a luxury bridal boutique in Miami, we hear a lot of the same questions over and over — and that makes perfect sense! Wedding dress shopping is a once in a lifetime experience, totally unlike the purchase of any other dress in your life. Not only is the dress ripe with sentimental importance, but the process of buying it is completely different too. As if it wasn’t stressful enough! That said, we believe wedding dress shopping shouldn’t be stressful. This should be an enjoyable, luxury experience from start to finish alongside the help of our talented and experienced bridal stylists.

Today, we thought we’d answer a few of the most frequently asked questions about a bridal shopping appointment at Chic Parisien. For more detailed FAQs visit our dedicated page.

What does it mean to work with a private bridal stylist?
We pair each bride with a stylist for the entirety of her wedding dress shopping experience. Your stylist will first listen to what you like, where your wedding is taking place, whatyour budget is, and you can share any inspiration photos and screenshots you may have collected (we encourage this!). Then, your stylist will head into our stock room of luxury bridal gowns and select and edit of gowns for you to try on. Our gowns are not out on display, so communicating with your stylist is super important and ensures that they have the right sense of what you’re envisioning. That said, you’ll be working it out together as you go. Your bridal stylist will listen to what you like and don’t like about each gown and tailor the options for you from there — until you land on your perfect wedding dress!

Then what happens?
You say yes to the dress! Then, your stylist will talk you through next steps including taking your measurements, nailing down any customizations, order lead times, etc.
