David's Bridal Announces Virtual Video Appointment Experience

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., June 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- David's Bridal, the nation's leading bridal and special occasion authority, announced today the introduction of video into their Virtual Appointment Experience. With this launch, hundreds of stylists will be available to assist, guide, celebrate, and inspire brides and bridal parties from around the world on the video communications platform, Zoom.

David's is constantly seeking feedback from their brides, and a video feature is exactly what they wanted.  It was an obvious add-on to the already successful Virtual Appointment Experience the brand launched last month. David's has always been able to provide the entire wedding party with their dresses because of their 300 stores across the country, and now, with Virtual Video Appointments, her mom, her grandma, and her entire bridal party can experience it with her at the same time no matter where they are located in the world.  She can simply schedule the appointment with an expert stylist directly from the website and a follow a few easy steps.  David's stylists can show dresses, color swatches, provide styling advice on veils, and much more.  David's even offers specialized video appointments if she just wants to review accessories for her big day.

"Our stores have always been a place for friends and family to gather and celebrate some of the most exciting moments life has to offer," said Kelly Cook, Chief Marketing and IT Officer at David's Bridal.  "With the launch of virtual video, brides are able to see mom and grandma's smiling faces, review bridesmaids color options with her best gals, and share the dress of her dreams, even from hundreds of miles away.  One of our stylists shared she saw a bride, her mom and her bridesmaids do a champagne toast together when the bride found THE ONE. The bridesmaids were in six different states but celebrating together, on video, with the bride.  So amazing."

Here's what customers can expect with Virtual Video Appointments:

1. Book your Virtual Appointment: After you book an appointment online, a Zoom link will be sent via email for your video styling session.
2. Complete your Style Profile & Vision Board: Tell us about yourself!  To personalize your appointment, share a bit more information by filling out your style profile and vision board. Both tools, found only at David's, outline questions that will help determine your wedding day vibe and give your stylist an idea of gowns she personally recommends based on your style and budget.
3. Make it a Party: Share the Zoom link with your mom, maids, or grandma if you would like them to join. Don't forget to bring the champagne!
4. Start your Virtual Appointment: Click the Zoom link to join your stylist at the scheduled time. If you're inviting friends or family, they can do the same!

"With this program we are able to provide our customers with yet another outlet to connect with our expert stylists, and shop David's from the comfort and convenience of their own homes.
