Why you should book a weekday wedding dress shopping appointment
We know when an engaged couple is working full time, planning a wedding gets done when there is time allowed. This means laying in bed late at night sending emails to vendors, browsing Pinterest for inspirations on a lunch break, or even making decisions over martinis at happy hour with your best friend.
This lack of time for wedding planning doesn’t differ from finding time to find the perfect wedding dress. For working brides, it can be hard to find the perfect time or day of the week to shop for your dress. From working weekends, bridal shops being booked on Saturdays and Sundays or wanting to escape to the beach or lake on weekends, weekends aren’t always the best time to go wedding dress shopping.
So we designed a solution for you! Join us for one of our weekday bridal appointments.
Here’s why you should book a weekday wedding dress shopping appointment
Book a bridal shopping appointment during your lunch break
Appointments at The Bridal Finery are around 2 hours. However, we can work with your schedule. If you are an excellent decision-maker and only need around 45 minutes to an hour, we are totally fine with that. We have many professional working brides who go shopping by themselves or with one friend during their lunch breaks. Feel free to uber eats lunch to our Winter Park bridal shop or enjoy our complimentary cheese & crackers and hot tea while shopping on your lunch break.
Lunch break appointments available at 10:30 am 1:00 pm and 3:30 pm upon daily availability. Click here to book your appointment.
When you purchase your wedding dress during your lunch break and only have limited time, we recommend booking a follow-up accessories appointment to shop for jewelry, undergarments, and to have a celebratory champagne toast. Your follow up appointment can be any day that works best for your busy schedule and your wedding date. Our accessories follow up appointments are about an hour long. We will style you in your wedding gown, pin your hair in a style that is close to how you’ll wear it on your wedding day, and style you with accessories and undergarments that compliment you and your wedding gown.
Book a happy hour bridal shopping appointment
Leave work around 3 or 4 pm on a slower day and bring your work BFF for a happy hour bridal shopping appointment! We will supply the cheese & crackers and a celebratory champagne toast when you say ‘yes!” to your dress! Finding your dress on a Wednesday or Friday afternoon gives you the entire weekend to enjoy time with your fiance, to go to the beach, or do just about anything for two days! Happy hour appointments are perfect for the bride who has the availability to skip out of work a bit early during the week or for the bride who works late hours and wants to sleep in, like a nurse or a bartender.
Happy hour appointments available at 3:00 pm, 3:30 pm, 5:00 pm, or 6:00 pm upon daily availability. Click here to book your appointment.
During our happy hour appointments, brides and their guests are welcome to bring in champagne and other happy hour essentials like a charcuterie board. We provide champagne during a toast at the end of the appointment when the bride says ‘yes!” however, we do not provide champagne throughout the appointment.

A nightcap bridal shopping appointment
End your workday by shopping for your wedding gown. Join us for a 6:00 pm appointment after work with your best friends and family. If you’re feeling tired from your long day, we got you covered! From hot green tea to iced coffee, we have the caffeine covered. The nightcap appointment is perfect for the bride who is better at decision making at night and is a night owl. Like our lunch break appointments, feel free to Uber Eats food to our boutique for dinner. During your sit down consultation with one of our Bridal Fashion Stylists, you will have time to eat the food you ordered, re-energize, and relax before trying on wedding dresses and decision making. During our nightcap appointments, brides will have time to find their wedding dress, undergarments, and all accessories that pair perfectly with their wedding dress. Within 2 hours, you will feel so confident and accomplished with the bridal fashion side of wedding planning!
Nightcap bridal appointments: 5:30 pm upon daily availability. After hours appointments are available upon request. Click here to book your bridal appointment.
After your appointment: head to Santiagos Bodega for a margarita or sangria for a celebratory drink and for a late-night happy hour. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate finding your wedding gown.
