13 must visit bridal boutiques & appointment prices
Here in Ireland, we are so lucky to have so many gorgeous bridal boutiques all across the country.
If you’re just starting the hunt for your perfect, dream wedding dress it might come as a surprise that you have to pay for a bridal appointment. In most cases this is a (fairly) nominal amount, and it is usually available to redeem against the purchase of your dress. However, it is something to keep in mind if you’re planning to visit a few bridal boutiques.
When you first start looking for a wedding dress, it can be quite overwhelming – so we (and most bridal boutiques) would recommend trying on various styles and fabrics in your first bridal appointment, and then from there its a lot easier to nail down what you want.
