Serendipity has a wonderful selection of "ready to wed" gowns that are in shop and ready to go home same day! These styles are perfect for bridal on a budget, or brides on a tighter timeline, which can be considered less than six months from the wedding day. Here are some frequently asked questions, as well as our off-rack inventory to take a look!

What does "ready-to-wed" mean?

Serendipity's "Ready-to-Wed" selection consists of off-rack styles that were previous sample gowns and are no longer able to be re-ordered in different sizes or colors. Since they were previously used as samples, they are marked down to reflect gentle wear, and the price accommodates a cleaning if needed but otherwise sold as-is.

​

What are the sizes for "Ready-to-Wed" gowns?

Majority of our samples range between size 10-16 bridal, which typically work for street size 8-14. However, we do have some options outside of this as well! Like any bridal gown, alterations are still recommended in order to ensure the perfect fit. Alterations can generally take in a dress a few sizes, however it is more difficult to let out a dress that is too small, if possible at all. If there is any concern regarding sizing, we recommend scheduling time with our alterations specialist prior to purchasing - just reach out for details!

​

What is the price range?

All off-rack gowns are priced below $1,000 depending on the style, size and condition of the gown.

Please contact us with any questions regarding specific pricing on a specific style.

​

Do I need an appointment?

In order to provide the best experience, Serendipity does require an appointment to browse our selections, including off-rack. Brides are able to book a two-hour Bridal Consultation online.

​

Can I place a hold on a dress?

We are able to reserve a ready-to-wed gown for up to a week, as long as an alterations consultation is scheduled within that timeframe. Otherwise, if you think you've found the one, we recommend purchasing same day to ensure it's yours!

​

What is the buying process?

We are able to reserve a dress (longer than a week) with a non-refundable 50% deposit, however payment is due in full in order to take the dress home same day. All sales are final, and dresses are sold as-is.
