Victoria's Bridal Couture
Purchasing over the Internet and Price Questions? 

At Victoria's Bridal Couture, you have a choice on how you purchase your next wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses or other bridal related merchandise. Everything on our website can be purchased in our retail store or over the phone at 954-522-1678. Some of our wedding dresses and most of our bridesmaid dresses can be purchased directly online. 

The chart below shows the benefits with both "in-store" purchases and "internet-only" purchases. Prices on the internet are typically lower than in-store prices because you do get many of the benifits of the in-store experience and will not lower an in-store item to match the price. All internet purchased items will be shipped from our warehouse to a location of your choosing and cannot be picked up in our retail store. If you would like alterations done on a gown that was purchasd on the interet, it will be treated as an "outside gown" and will be charged full price for alterations.

Bridal Slips, Long-line wedding bras, bridal veils, wedding tiaras, gloves, gift cards, wedding gown preservation, and many more items can be purchased online with our shopping cart. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and Discover cards. No Sales Tax.
