Consignment

At Discount Bridal and Formals, we understand that many brides find themselves unsure of what to do with the wedding gown they wore (or the wedding gowns they didn’t wear—those they bought or ordered and didn’t return).

Consigning with us is a sustainable and meaningful way to give your dress a first or second life. You’ll be helping another bride find her perfect gown while also recouping some of your initial investment. Ready to give your gown a second chance at love?

Benefits of Consigning Your Wedding Dress @ Discount Bridal and Formals

  • Financial Recovery: Recoup a portion of your initial investment.
  • Wider Reach: Access a larger pool of potential buyers through the salon’s network.
  • Environmental Impact:
    • Contribute to a circular economy: Support a more sustainable fashion industry by giving your gown a second life.
  • Convenience & Reduced Stress:
    • Let the salon handle all aspects of the sale, knowing your gown is safe and being respectfully handled.
    • Avoid the hassle of private sales, such as posting online, canceled meetups, answering repetitive questions, shipping, dealing with unsatisfied buyers, and relentless spam.
  • Privacy: No need to host strangers in your home.

Consignment Rates

  • Typically range from 30% to 60% of the retail selling price.
  • Factors that influence the rate:
    • Designer: High-end designers may have higher rates.
    • Condition: Pristine condition with minimal alterations commands higher rates.
    • Age of the gown
    • Popularity of the designer
    • Overall current supply/demand
  • Our Consignor/Consignee Split: 60/40 or 70/30, determined after a dress evaluation.
