Brides Beware!

For the most important dress purchase of your life, it’s important to choose a brand new dress made just for you from top dress designers and current season gowns from an authorized designer retailer like Suzanne's. In our store you have the ability to order your dream gown in your preferred color and size and will receive a brand new dress direct from the designers or you even have the option of buying our floor piece.

Don't shop at an outlet store to save a few dollars on a discontinued dresses or on designer’s stock overages from past seasons. When buying from these stores people don’t necessarily know what they are getting and may involve risks. Customers may see a price tag with a discounted price and think they are getting a bargain on a brand new dress when they are essentially dresses they are trying to get rid of. The dresses from outlet or consignment stores could be copies, knock-offs, counterfeits or imitation that are certain to be of inferior quality. Only genuine gowns offer the true quality, fit, and design of the dress designers we carry. If dress designers we carry are obtained by an unauthorized retailer they have received them through an unauthorized channel. Gowns purchased at these stores will sell gowns off the rack because they do not have the ability to order through the designer.

SBB has all the new trends and we truly take you from "A to Z" offering a full range of services that others don't. Suzanne’s has in-store alterations that will save you money and you know your dress is never leaving the boutique and is in good hands. Any dress purchased from us you also have the opportunity to customize the dress the way you want. Would you like a sweetheart neckline to have sleeves? More coverage? Less coverage? More beading? Suzanne hasn’t met a dress yet that she can’t alter and has over 30 years of alterations under her belt. We don’t just sell you a dress and wave goodbye as we send you out the door! We also carry veils, accessories, shoes, tuxedo rentals, bridesmaid dresses, Mother of the occasion dresses, and prom dresses for one stop wedding apparel shopping.

Check out designer websites to see who is actually listed as an "authorized retailer". You'll be surprised who isn’t. Yet every facet of their social media semantically indicates otherwise.

Suzanne’s Bridal Boutique is a Platinum authorized retailer for Sottero and Midgley, Maggie Sottero, Justin Alexander, Kitty Chen Couture, Moonlight Val Stefani, Moonlight Collection, Moonlight Couture, Sweetheart Gowns, and Sincerity Bridal.

We are very much in the business of providing the latest and the best trends in the industry. We purchase over $200,000 a year in stock minimums for the privilege of doing so. We don’t masquerade as a bridal shop, we ARE a bridal shop.

Buyer beware! With the advent of many consignment shops and outlet stores popping up everywhere, it’s important to be a smart and savvy consumer!

Authorized Retailers

When purchasing your dream gown, only trust authorized retailers like Suzanne's Bridal Boutique!

How to Spot a Fake -Via the American Bridal and Prom Association (ABPIA)

Before purchasing a dress, do your homework. Ensure that you purchase an authentic brand name dress from an authorized retailer by following the guidelines below:

1. Pay close attention to the advertised retail price. Retail prices should be consistent across all authorized retailers. If you discover a store or website that offers a brand name dress substantially lower than others, assume that the dress is a low quality counterfeit fake. Also, be aware of words like “inspired by,” “imitation,” “fake” and “similar to” that appear on the store’s website or advertisement.

2. Visit the brand name’s “Where To Buy” webpage (or store locator). If the store, web page or retail company in question is not listed, it may be part of a counterfeit operation.

3. Challenge the authenticity of the brand name being advertised. Every authentic dress will bear a hangtag and inside garment label with the brand’s logo. If your dress is missing a tag or label, it may be a fake reproduction. Also, double check the spelling of the brand being represented.

4. Take note of the pictures displayed on the website or advertisement. If the imagery used includes a model with a blurred out or pixelated face, cropped off head or displays any other suspicious photo-changing feature, the website or advertisement may be selling counterfeit dresses.

5. Visit the website’s Contact Us page. An address in the United States as well as a telephone should be listed, not just an email address. It is also important to double check that the telephone number isn’t being forwarded to China or another foreign country.
