How to Decorate a Bridal Store

Decorating a bridal store requires sensitive consideration; the bride is considering one of her most important purchases in her life. The cost is not as significant as the emotions that are involved with this spectacular day. The challenge of creating the ambiance of relaxed sophistication and beauty may be directed in a thousand ways.

• Have at least three separate areas for the bride, bridesmaids, mothers, flower children, ushers and spiritual readers. Depending on the size of the wedding, more people need some type of present from the wedding party, from scarves or jewelry, to the elaborate dresses of the bride and family members.


• Ensure plenty of room for trying on and comparing clothes. Consider it possible that several members of the wedding party may arrive together to sample various clothing designs. Designing and decorating with extra space for guests to see clothes and add opinions will set your boutique apart as a luxurious store.


• Create a room for quiet conversations for the wedding party. An area where decisions can be made, light refreshments served and ideas exchanged. The bride and other members of the wedding party will be trying on clothes and exchanging opinions of the clothes and other socializing. Critical for making decisions with so many people involved a room for quiet conversations.


• Decorate with comfortable seating and tables for writing and serving light refreshments. The style is so flexible, if you are specializing in an era or a modern look, these will have stronger furnishing requirements. Stay away from pictures, you want the bride to try on wedding dresses, focus on mirrors and remember the store is for selecting very important clothing.


• Your personal choices will reflect the salon's décor. There are brides with every type of taste. A modern setting may offer general designs for gowns and varied interests for the bride. The antique or Victorian store will offer a sense of comfort and elegance; an emphasis on antique gowns may limit some bride’s decisions.
