LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lulu's Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc. (“Lulus” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: LVLU), the attainable luxury brand for women, today announced the opening of its first bridal boutique in Los Angeles, offering a novel approach to the bridal shopping journey – from engagement to honeymoon – and delivering an elevated, end-to-end wedding attire shopping experience for discerning brides. Open beginning February 1, the bridal boutique is located on the upper level of the Lulus on Melrose retail location and is a specialized space dedicated to all one’s bridal needs – from bridal gowns, bridesmaids dresses, bridal accessories, shoes and more. At launch, a curated selection of gowns will be available exclusively first at Lulus on Melrose.
“We know how important someone’s wedding day is to them and we’ve created an experience that invites brides and wedding parties to see first-hand the elegant construction and premium finishes of each of Lulus’ fashionable, yet attainably priced gowns,” said Crystal Landsem, Chief Executive Officer, Lulus. “Our aim is to make every woman feel beautiful, celebrated and as if she’s the most special version of herself for every momentous occasion, especially her wedding. At Lulus, brides won’t have to compromise – attaining that luxurious look without breaking their budgets isn’t a dream, it’s a reality.”
Lulus first introduced a dedicated bridal category in 2019 and has since dressed endless brides for all their important wedding-related moments. In recent years, the Company has experienced exponential growth in the bridal, bridesmaids and wedding guest categories, with the classic silhouettes of the “Awaken My Love White Long Sleeve Lace Maxi Dress,” and “Heavenly Hues White Maxi Dress” among its most popular wedding styles. The introduction of an appointment-only bridal boutique enables the brand to offer its customer-first online experience to brides in real life.
One Destination for Every Wedding Occasion
The Lulus on Melrose bridal boutique is an end-to-end wedding attire experience, showcasing a curated selection of bridal dresses, bridesmaids dresses, bridal accessories and shoes. Brides visiting the boutique will experience Lulus’ signature bridal concierge service in person, with “Book A Styling Session” appointments made online. During the appointment, customers will work directly with a bridal stylist who will deliver a white-gloved experience, guiding brides on sizing, fabrics, styling suggestions and special orders. Brides will be able to take their dresses home the same day or if ordered at the bridal boutique, will receive their dresses in a fraction of the time of traditional wedding dress orders.
Lulus on Melrose is specifically designed to make wedding occasion shopping easy – in addition to the bridal boutique, brides and their entourage can shop for festive bachelorette and wedding guest options in the designated “Party Shop.” From her engagement, to her bachelorette, to getting ready on her big day and walking down the aisle, Lulus has something for every occasion.
Designed Like a Dream
The bridal boutique is designed for celebration, complete with unique, social-ready vignettes, complimentary non-alcoholic beverages and attentive customer service. Dreamy fabric-draping, pearl adornments and sumptuous velvet tufts set the scene for a memorable appointment. The focal point of the bridal boutique is a 3D seashell-inspired photo backdrop designed by artist and set designer Romain Goudinoux and exclusive to Lulus on Melrose, offering an enchanting and unforgettable photo moment just for bridal.
First to Melrose
While the bridal boutique features a condensed edit compared to Lulus’ vast online selection, three all-new bridal gowns will be available first exclusively at Lulus on Melrose at launch. Available at price points ranging from $99 to $268, the first to Melrose edit features timelessly sophisticated and flattering bridal gowns. The new “Your Sweetie White Tie-Strap Column Maxi Dress” ($99.00 USD), the “Ethereal Perfection White Organza Embroidered Bustier Maxi Dress” ($138.00 USD), and “Infinite Adoration Ivory Beaded Embroidered Lace Maxi Dress” ($268.00 USD), will be available in-store. Extended sizing for select dresses will also be available in-store.
Open House Bridal Event and 100 Dresses For 100 Brides Giveaway
To celebrate the opening of the bridal boutique, Lulus is hosting an open house bridal event on Saturday, February 10, 2024, from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. PT. The event kicks off with Lulus’ biggest dress giveaway yet.
