(back to top) PAST BRIDES SELLING CONSIGNING THEIR WEDDING DRESS 1. How do I know what price to sell my dress at? A good place to start is with the wholesale price of your dress which is usually 50% of the actual cost if you purchased it through a retailer. We suggest selling your dress between 40-60% of the retail price. The higher the discount, the better chance you will have to sell your dress. If your dress was purchased within the last 1-2 years it will be more desirable to Brides to Be and you will have a higher chance of selling your dress. (back to top) 2. Do I have to be at the Bridal Swap all day to Consign my wedding dress? No. You do not have to be at the Bridal Swap all day. DreamGroup will consign the dress for you. (back to top) 3. If my wedding dress doesn't get purchased what happens? If your dress doesn't get purchased by the end of the day, all you need to do is pick it up once the Bridal Swapis over. However, you will have a second opportunity to sell your dress through SmartBride Boutique. (back to top) When you register to consign your dress at the Bridal Swap, you will be able to add a listing to SmartBride Boutique. The listing will include the photo of the dress and all of the dress details, along with a message telling Brides that they can Try on and Buy the dress at the Bridal Swap. This is a great opportunity for Brides to Be to actually see & touch your dress thus allowing a greater chance of it being sold. If however, it doesn’t sell at the Bridal Swap, you will have a second opportunity to sell your dress through SmartBride Boutique as your listing will continue on their website until it’s sold or until you remove it. (back to top) 4. Is there a registration fee to consign my dress? There is no registration fee to consign your dress. You just need to fill out a registration form and then bring your dress to the event. (back to top) 5. How much will I make if I consign my dress at the Bridal Swap? If your dress sells at the Bridal Swap™ you will receive 70% of the selling price less any credit card processing fees. Consignment through most retailers is 50/50. We are offering an even better consignment price to encourage Past Brides to bring their dresses to the Bridal Swap. When you consign your dress at a retail shop it can take months and months to sell, however, with the Bridal Swap™ you will have your dress exposed to at least 300 interested brides in one day! (back to top) 6.What will be done to prevent people from damaging the dress while trying it on? We are definitely taking precautions with the Consignment Dreses. There will be attendants overseeing the dresses on the racks, we will have fitting room attendants and we will also be posting signage asking Brides to take care while trying on the dresses, however, with that said you need to keep in mind that multiple Brides may be trying on your dress and walking around in it and it may be exposed to a small amount of wear and tear.
