The bridal world can be pretty hectic, and when it’s your first time planning a wedding, it can be a lot to process! 

Here at Revelle we offer 6 Different types of Bridal Consultation, each one catered to the different needs of our brides whether it be budget, timelines, or distance, we've got you covered. Check out our handy breakdown of each appointment type!

0. The Pre-Consultation

DURATION: 20 MINS
FEE: NO FEE!

Our complimentary pre-consult is all about helping you figure out if Revelle Bridal is the right fit for you and your wedding! 

The Revelle style is off-beat, with independent designers from across the globe offering splashes of non-traditional bridal bliss. We have carefully curated our collections and found our niche. The pre-consult is a twenty minute phone call to find out if we have the vibe that you’re looking for, and to help answer some of your questions ahead of time. We know that a bridal consultation can be overwhelming and there’s a lot to process as you get in and out of gowns, so having your key questions answered before you even walk through the door can help you make the most of your time in the boutique.

1. The First: Initial Bridal Consultation

DURATION: 90 MINS
FEE: $30 inc HST (Credited in full when you purchase a gown with us within 60 days of your consultation)

The most popular consultation type is The First. Once you’re familiar with our collection of gowns and Designers, and you know Revelle has your style, we recommend booking “The First”. 

This consultation type allows you to shop our entire Designer collection. During the 90 minute consultation, you will be able to narrow down the shape and style of your dream dress. Based on your vision, budget, and plans, your stylist will pull styles - sometimes unexpected ones - to help you find the perfect gown for your day. 

For most of our designers, the latest recommended order date is 8 to 10 months ahead of your wedding date (shorter timelines can sometimes be accommodated with ‘Rush’ orders). If you’re shopping around a year out from your wedding and your budget is $2500 and up, this appointment type is for you! 

(Note: If your wedding is within six months, and/or your budget is below 2500$, please scroll to the Ready To Wear section!)

Sometimes, this might be the bridal consultation where you find The Dress, and if so, your stylist will take your measurements and set up your order, as well as helping you celebrate!

If you’re not ready to say yes at that first consultation with us, that’s okay! Your next step would be …

2. The Second: Follow-Up Bridal Consultation

DURATION: UP TO 90 MINS
FEE: NO FEE (Complimentary first follow-up for brides who have previously paid for a consultation with us!)

Not everyone buys at their initial consultation. Some people need to sleep on it, some need to see another store first for certainty, whatever the reason, we get it! 

Once you’ve made up your mind, you can book back in for a complimentary Follow-Up Consultation. This consultation type allows you to come back and retry your finalists. You can bring the same people, different people, or come alone. Whatever works best for you! 

For some brides this consultation may only take fifteen minutes, for others it may be a bit of ‘start-over’, and that’s okay! For that reason we allow up to 90 minutes to ensure that you have the opportunity to work through different options and styles to ensure you make the decision that’s right for you! 

If you purchase your dress at this consultation and it is within 60 days of your Initial consultation, your initial $30 fee will still be credited to your purchase!

3. The Encore: Subsequent Bridal Follow-Ups

DURATION: UP TO 60 MINS
FEE: $30 inc HST (Non-refundable, non-credited)

While many brides purchase their dress within two Revelle consultations, we completely understand that sometimes a little more time is needed! 

For our bride who needs to visit us for a third (or subsequent!) bridal consultation, our Encore consultation is available. If you’ve been to Revelle previously and had a first follow-up, but need to come back again, we’ve got you! 

During your Encore Consultation, your stylist will review the options and styles you have, and help you figure out which of your contenders is The One. 

We do not place a limit on the number of Encore consultations that you may book, but the $30 fee for an Encore is per consultation and is not credited to your purchase.

4. The Ready-To-Wear - Initial Bridal Consultation

DURATION: UP TO 90 MINS
FEE: $30 inc HST (Credited in full when you purchase a gown with us within 60 days of your consultation)

For budgets under $2500, or for shorter-notice brides, we have our Ready To Wear Bridal Consultation. This consultation allows you to shop our ‘off-the-rack’ gowns, which is made up of ex-samples and our very own Bash collection in collaboration with Maide. 

With all styles under $2500, and the ability to walk away with your gown the same day, our Ready To Wear gives you Revelle style at a price point you’ll love. 

This consultation flows in a similar way to our “The First” appointment, starting with a chat with your stylist, a look at the Ready To Wear collection, and then the process of narrowing down ‘The One’.

5. The BLVD Luxe Experience

DURATION: 120 MINS
FEE: $250 inc HST (Credited in full when you purchase a gown with us within 60 days of your consultation)

Our Luxe Consultation offers exclusive use of our larger BLVD suite. We can accommodate Bride + up to 7 guests. 

Whether you want to make the bridal experience that little bit more magic with delicious treats to take home and extra special gifts, or if you just have a bigger crew to involve in your dress finding journey, the Luxe Consultation allows you to have it all! 

The consultation runs similarly to The First, allowing you to shop our designer collection and narrow down the gowns you love. You will be working with a senior stylist who will use their expertise to answer all of your questions and ensure you get a luxury bridal experience to remember. 

You have 60 days to use the $100 credit from your consultation fee, so while it’s amazing to be able to say yes there and then with your Bridal Hype Squad, if you need more time, we’ve got you!

6. The Virtual

DURATION: 45 MINS
FEE: NO FEE!

Not local? Having to shield or isolate for any reason? Let us bring the Revelle Bridal Experience to you. Through the power of Zoom, we will link you up with one of our Revelle stylists who will share our collections and styles with you. The first step is browsing our selection and narrowing down the styles you’re most interested in. 

If you find styles you love and aren’t able to make it into the boutique, for a fee we can ship the samples out to you to try on at home. We’ll send everything you need to get the perfect fit, and schedule a virtual follow-up so your stylist can help talk you through each gown and the options available. 

The Virtual is perfect for out-of-town brides who are located in remote areas where their local bridal boutique might not carry the styles they love, or brides who are not comfortable travelling into Revelle at this time.

With six bridal consultation types, we know there’s a lot of choice, so hopefully this guide helps you choose the right type for you!
