Express Bridesmaid Offerings

Most bridesmaids companies cut your dresses after you order them in order to be able to offer a large arrange of styles, colors and sizes. While times vary among designers, most companies require cut periods of 8 to 16 weeks before the gowns ship—and it should be noted those are just “estimated” delivery times. The times can vary from the estimate, especially during the busy season. This means that, in order to allow for possible delivery delays and ensure adequate time for alterations, depending again on which company you order from, a regular order must be placed 3 ½ to 6 months in advance to ensure adequate delivery time. Bellisima has a number of options available to the bride who does not have that much lead time available.

In addition to the value collections listed above (see offerings under $100) several of our designers offer some of their better selling styles in express options that can vary in delivery from “shipped within three business days”, like Eden’s In-Stock Bridesmaid Program, to delivery within two to four weeks, such as Davinci’s “One Week shipping” or Raylia’s three week options. These programs offer a limited number of styles in a limited number of colors, but can meet the requirements of many brides who don’t have a significant amount of time till their wedding date.

Additionally, most of our companies offer four or five week cut periods on any of their regular bridesmaid styles for an additional fee (see designer links below for the full range of styles available in the bridesmaid collections). However, use of rush delivery services still requires a several month lead time as even rush orders do not commit the designers to a specific delivery date, i.e., they may vary from their estimated ship date if there are delays in their production schedules. Plus most customers will require some alterations and adequate time must be allowed to ensure you can arrange any alterations needed.

Finally, we do have several hundred recently discontinued bridesmaid dresses in our Diamond Value Collection clearance center in our upstairs ballroom. These dresses are from top designers with original MSRPs of up to $350, but all are priced $69 or less in our clearance center. However, sizes are mostly limited between 8 and 14 since this is the size most companies include in their bridal sample packages.

Since time is of the essence for the bride who has less than three and a half months before her wedding, we strongly encourage you to make an appointment to talk to one of our consultants so we can get information on your requirements and offer you the greatest number of options possible to help keep the stress of planning a wedding in a limited time frame to a minimum.

**Dream Gown Give Away Contest Rules

Contest entries are available at all bridal shows at which Bellisima Bridal participates (see website for show schedule) or at the salon. Just schedule your appointment and we’ll offer you a game card. Please remind us if we forget.
Entries must be obtained from us before May 1, 2012 (or while 800 last), and must be redeemed by July 1, 2012. To be valid, entry cards must remain sealed in their envelope and cannot be opened except in the salon in the presence of a Bellisima consultant or employee. Once cards are opened at the salon, any offer of a gift item or discount must be redeemed within two weeks.
All game cards are winners. Cards offer discounts from 5 to 30% off merchandize; dozens of prizes like shoes, veils, tiaras, or accessory of your choice with two game cards being dream gown winners.
Instead of pre-selecting what merchandise will be gifts, the discretion is left to the winner to choose their prize. Discount offers are good on any gown or accessory you would like to purchase. Offers for specific gifts may be redeemed for merchandise with the following values: veils and other accessories—good for up to $69 on in stock merchandise of the type described in the offer, or $59 on special order merchandise of the same type (i.e., shoe gift card is to be redeemed on the purchase of shoes, etc.) Some cards offer “any accessory” and may be redeemed on any accessory item. All cards offering specific gifts may be used for a credit in the above specified amounts if a higher priced item is selected. We encourage you to check our outstanding accessory values; brides often report veil prices at other salons being more than 50% higher than ours on the exact same merchandise, and our prices on shoes from the top designers usually beat the prices that can be found on the internet. Gown winning game cards are good for in-stock dresses valued up to $800 (we have more than 1000 gowns priced under this value in our store) or special order dresses valued up to $650 or a credit of these amounts on purchase or order of a higher priced gown (e.g., an $800 credit toward the purchase of an in-stock dress priced at $900, or a $650 credit on the special order of a dress priced at $800.)
Game entries are void if not opened inside the salon or if expired by not being used within two weeks of opening, or within the contest timeframes as specified above, and may not be redeemed for merchandise other than as described on the card or per the above terms. Odds of winning a discount or gift is 100%. Odds of drawing a winning gown game piece are 1/400. All cards must be redeemed in accord with the contest terms to be honored. Do not open at home. Limit one entry per bride.
