Say yes to resale!! Kleinfeld Bridal officially enters the resale arena. Kleinfeld’s is famously known for being the focus of TLC’s hit show “Say Yes to the Dress.” This is a big deal because of their exposure – the magnitude of their reach is outstanding. With dresses for several different budgets, another player is saying, it’s OK to wear a dress that was preloved. “The marketplace to buy and sell your wedding gown, with the most trusted brand in bridal.” All gowns go through a thorough inspection to insure authenticity and quality. Each inspection is video recorded. They don’t charge a commission on sales – instead, they charge a monthly listing fee. Worldwide, 70%+ consumers plan to buy used goods this year with 86% buying or selling pre-loved items in the last 12 months (eBay 2024 Recommerce Report, May). The secondhand market is projected to reach $276 Billion with a B by 2028 (Recommerce Report, 2023). Would you or someone close to use buy a preloved wedding dress? What about my Gen Z network reading this? P.S. I don’t consider myself extremely superstitious, but part of me is wondering, what’s the story of the woman who wore this dress before? Did she have a happily ever after? Will her vibes carry forward to me if I wear it – good or bad? #resale #preloved #secondhand #wedding #weddingdress #bridal #dress #retail

Trends In Bridal Fashion: What Brides Want In 2024 Wedding bells are ringing, and brides-to-be everywhere are anticipating their special day. But before walking down the aisle, there's one essential task on every bride's checklist: finding the perfect wedding dress. #Fashion #Wedding #WomensClothing

FOUR essential tips for customizing your bridal shoes. 1. Stick to What You Know- Comfort is key on your big day. If you love block heels, stick to them! Customize within your comfort zone to ensure you're at ease throughout the event. 2. Coordinate with Your Attire- If you have three pairs of shoes for your wedding events, match each with your outfits. If you're going with just two, choose versatile options like rose gold and either gold or silver. These colors complement most bridal looks beautifully. 3. Heel Height- Brides often worry about matching their fiancé’s height, but remember, your comfort comes first! Wear heels that boost your confidence. Your happiness and confidence will shine through more than any heel height ever could. 4. Bridal Sneakers - Consider a pair of bridal sneakers or sneaker wedges. They're lightweight and perfect for dancing the night away without any discomfort. Remember, your wedding is about celebrating your love and joy. Choose shoes that make you feel confident and comfortable! #handmadeshoes #madetoorder #customise #bridalshoes #weddings #bridalsneakers

When is it too early? Before you say "I do" to that wedding dress, let's talk about why it pays to have patience when deciding which dress to buy for your wedding. Once you get engaged, that urge to dive into bridal shops is tempting. But timing is everything. Finding that sweet spot between shopping too early and too late is crucial. Let's break down the wedding dress shopping timeline and tackle the burning question: How early is too early to say yes to the dress? I have seen many brides who have planned their wedding for a year or two away but rushed out to buy their dress, only to get nearer to the time and not like it anymore, or it doesn't fit. Shopping for your dream dress too soon can leave you drowning in a sea of options, turning even the most decisive bride into a blubbering mess. Every season, a fresh batch of stunning bridal designs hits the bridal shops, throwing more options into the arena. And keep in mind that the bridal shops have sales at the end of the season to make room for all those new designs. Now, there's nothing wrong with a bit of wedding dress shopping to gauge which style you like and suits you, but perhaps hold off on the buying in case it comes up In the sales. That's a tip worth considering for any budget-savvy brides. That's a gamble you might not be comfortable with in case you miss out, but it might be worth it in the long run if you have plenty of time before your wedding day. Do you know how much you have to spend on your dress? Have you done your budget and found your venue yet? Perhaps it might be prudent to leave off buying the dress until you have more of your wedding planning in place and know what kind of money you have left to spend on your wedding dress. #weddingdressshopping #findthedress #gettingmarried

The most popular topics that I've been writing about recently might be the category killer stores. There are several highly specialized stores that offer much more selection in a specific category than other stores do. This often makes them destination stores as well because it's worth driving for a while to find products that aren't available elsewhere. That would normally make it hard to find businesses similar to these stores, but there are a few retailers such as department stores that stock so much merchandise that they can serve as alternatives to multiple specialized businesses. I just wrote up another comparison article about the wedding dress store David's Bridal. It's hard to find other brick-and-mortar stores that only sell wedding dresses, but if you want to try on a dress in person you might also want to know what other stores sell them. https://lnkd.in/g7C4cnyW
