Bitsy Bridal Utah Frequently Asked Questions

The Appointment


Bitsy Bridal is a full service Utah wedding boutique where each stylist attends to only one bride at a time. If you walk in during busy times, you'll probably have to wait until a dressing room and stylist become available. You can reserve a stylist and dressing room by scheduling an appointment online.

Bitsy Bridal has everything you need. You could bring your favorite heels or your favorite spanx, although it is not necessary.

Bring your most respected friends and family. A lot of guests tend to convince you to get a dress you don't want! (They just don't know you)

At Bitsy Bridal, we believe that "protecting the designer's integrity by not taking pictures" is just a ploy other shops use to sale. You can go to the designer's web page or the social media any time: Pictures are everywhere. Not being able to take pictures is just a SALES technique that other shops use to push the bride to purchase the dress. As a result, brides end up with overpriced and unwanted dresses because she has no idea what she looks like in the dress. We want our Bitsy Brides to be absolutely happy with their dress purchase. Wedding dress shopping is an emotional process. Bitsy Bridal does not take advantage of brides like that. Take as many pictures as you'd like and share them #bitsybridal when you're ready!

We are one stop bridal shop in Utah for all your bridal wear. From gowns, to accessories, to veils, we will be able to style you to your unique personality. Contact us to schedule some time with us.

Absolutely not: When you know, you know! Don’t we also stop dating after we find the one? Our line up is uniquely curated giving you a variety of rich selections. We work closely with both our domestic and international designers so that Bitsy Brides can find the one in no time.

We kindly ask that you leave the little kiddos at home. We are full of white dresses and delicate accessories, scissors, and pins from alterations. It is not a suitable place for kids. Children can also be very disruptive and distracting to other brides in the boutique. Parents are also responsible for anything children harm in the boutique. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
