Part-time Bridal Sales & Styling
About Us:
The Bridal Finery opened in 2017 in Winter Park, FL. The boutique is locally owned and operated by two Orlando women. The boutique offers off-the-rack and special order designer wedding dresses. During a private bridal appointment, brides will work one-on-one with a stylist to find their wedding dress and accessories.

We host in-house alteration fittings and accessory add on events. Our sample sizes range from 2-18. Price ranges from $3,500 to $16,000.
Mission Statement: Our mission is to empower brides to wear what they love and feel the most beautiful as they walk down the aisle. By doing so, we celebrate individuality and bring joy into their lives. We are the new family tradition.
