F.A.Q

Getting to know us:

We have been in the retail business for over ninety years. When our great grandfather opened his first wedding shop in a small town where he and his family lived the store was the talk of the town. His commitment to people who knew him, the men and women of his community and other nearby townships was legendary. Everyone loved his pretty dresses and anytime a young couple got married all family members went to his wedding shop for their  gowns, tuxedos mother of bride and mother of groom dresses.

The wedding guests also purchased their party dresses and cocktail dresses there. If there was a national celebration or a New Year party you could count on him for your evening gowns. If you did not have the funds he would allow borrowing a dress for a small fee. 

He ran the store for nearly forty years until his two daughters took over the business and brought the same ideals of community and customer care to United states. 

Madame Bridal is an offspring of an old established bridal boutique now located in Palm Beach County, Florida for the past 30 years.    

When we decided to open our online store we carried our love of customer care and expanded it to the internet.

Buying Smart:

Sometimes finding a bargain is not a bargain at all.
 
Are you planning your purchase from the cheapest guy on the Internet?
Please don't! Even if you decide not to purchase from our website please read on...
 
We make a concerted effort to give you the best service at the lowest price available. In other words, our prices are among the lowest on the Internet. If your goal is to do some comparative shopping, please consider our top 5 recommendations:
 
1 - Purchase your dress from an authorized retailer. 
* It is very easy to check for authorized retailers. Go to manufacturer's website (Dessy, Mori Lee, Allure, etc.). Find the button that directs you to their authorized retailers. It will usually be written as "FIND A STORE" or "WHERE TO BUY”.
* Search us by placing the State (Florida) and the zip code (33426) or your own state and zip code.
* If you can't find the website with the cheapest price on the manufacturer's website then you are buying a fake.
 
2 - Buy from websites that have an actual “Brick and Mortar” physical location. 
* Our store is in Boynton Beach, Florida in the same town for 30 years.
* If the cheapest guys are strictly Internet retailers, please beware and follow our next suggestions...
 
3 - Look for what other people are saying about the retailer. 
* How many reviews? How often? Please remember that genuine reviews come from the heart. Reviews that start with "This place is awesome" or "the best store ever" could be OK from time to time but usually they are disingenuous and placed  by the owner of the website.
* Genuine reviews are steady and are spread out over an even time period. Fantastic reviews, on the other hand, are usually posted over a very short time period. Any legitimate business will have good and bad reviews. Obviously the number of good review should be much greater than bad ones.  
 
4- If the price of a designer dress does not fall within the price range of all other stores and it is much cheaper it is a Chinese cheap duplicate.
* There expression "If It Is Too Good To Be True" applies in this case. 
 
5 - Beware of hyperbole on the Internet. 
* We want all our customers to know that we are still a good, old fashioned, small, family-run business. We employ local people who have been with us for a long time.
 
And we know fashion. We come from a generation of clothing retailers. 
 
Our goal is to remain a small, customer service oriented retailer. We don't need to make a ton of money. We rather give the very best service at the very best price.

Rush production and priority shipping is available and can be ordered from our website. Rush production is approximately 7-10 weeks. The production charge varies among different bridesmaid companies and it is calculated from $30.00-$60.00 depending on the bridesmaid designer. The rush production charges are indicated on our shopping cart. We urge our customers who are selecting rush production to upgrade their shipping.      

Why am I being charged for rush production and shipping as well?

Rush production charges and shipping charges are not the same. Rush production charge is so the manufacturer can produce the dress/dresses faster. Shipping charge is once your dress arrives to our store and its ready to be shipped to you.

Why does it take so long to get a bridesmaid dress?

Bridesmaid dresses are made to order; manufacturers do not have stock of these dresses. Once we receive a bridesmaid order, we placed the order with the manufacturer, this is why we say they are made to order, and it does not mean they are made to your exact measurements.

 

Sizing and Measurements

Can I have a dress made with my measurements?

Unfortunately that is not possible. Manufacturers make their dresses in accordance to their size charts. Every manufacturer has a different size chart so we encourage all of our customers to get measured professionally before making a sizing decision.

How do I determine my measurements?

How to Measure

I got measured professionally but my measurements are very different from the size chart, what size should I pick?

If you are in between sizes, we always recommend going one size up. If you get a smaller dress, there is nothing you can do but if the dress is a little bigger, you can always get alterations.

How long are the dresses?

Length varies by designer and style. In some instances, you can see on the size chart the length of the dresses. If that information is not provided, please call us at 561-736-8588 or email us at info@madamebridal.com and we will find out for you.

 

Signature requirement and address change:

For your protection all orders are shipped insured and require a signature receipt.  If you work and you are unable to sign for your order please email us info@madamebridal.com to request a signature waiver.  When you are requesting a signature waiver please specify your name, shipping address and order number.  Please make sure your request for signature waiver is sent from the same email address as your order.       

In case you are moving you can ask for an address change as long as your dresses are not shipped and the request is sent from the person ordering and the email address on file.          

 

Fabric and Swatch

How can I tell what Fabric the dress is made off?

If you do not see the fabric type on the description, you may call us at 561-736-8588 or email us at info@madamebridal.com and we will find out for you.

Can I get a color swatch prior to placing my order?

Yes you can. You can send us an email to info@madamebridal.com requesting a swatch.  We can only provide you with a swatch if the manufacturer can provide it. Most bridesmaid companies will allow us to order swatches from them.
