How To Go All-Out Saying "Yes" at Home

People in every industry are experiencing unique challenges due to COVID-19. Many elements of daily life have been altered or halted altogether. Lockdowns across the US and the world have posed difficult questions to communities and businesses everywhere. However, in the face of all the negativity and uncertainty, couples wanting to tie the knot and start a life together has not been put on lockdown.

Here at Brides of Florida, we needed to think of a new way to celebrate Brides to Be and we found it! Our Brides of Florida Say “Yes” At Home Boxes have been a hit for all of our quarantined Brides and we’ve loved seeing all the different things that they’ve done with their at-home bridal experience and we especially love this new way for Brides to have a beautiful try-on experience in their own home.

Now that it’s been almost 3 months since we launched, we wanted to share a few pointers on how to make your Say “Yes” at Home experience just as unforgettable as it would be in store!

Decorate Your Full-Length Mirror

A full-length mirror is an absolute MUST for your at-home try on! If you really wanted to spruce up your at-home experience though, make your full-length mirror stand out with some flowers or string lights! If you’re a little sad that your bridal appointment won’t take place in-store, we recommend going above and beyond to make your home environment feel extra special. Plus, you even get the added benefit of decorating exactly how you’d like! So go big because you’re only gonna have this experience once!

Prepare a Spread of Goodies

If you have some friends or family in quarantine with you, set up a brunch or appetizer-style spread for your appointment! Along with a decorated mirror, your home will be transformed into a totally upscale bridal boutique with decor and a nice spread for you and your family to snack on between gowns! Brunch, charcuterie, cookies and cake, whatever your dream spread is, have it prepared to make your experience that much more unique!

Create a Say “Yes” Cocktail

Have a go-to drink? Take that cocktail and put a special twist on it for your at-home appointment! Put a bridal flare on your cocktail of choice to make your at-home appointment feel ultra-luxe. There’s no better reason to treat yourself during this time than your Bridal appointment! Whatever you need to do to feel taken care of is essential for your appointment.

Keep a bottle of Champagne Chilled

The last thing you’d want is to say “Yes” to the dress and have no bubbly cold to toast your decision! On top of your snack spread and cocktail of choice, keeping a cold bottle of sparkling wine is an absolute must and is the cherry on top of everyone’s bridal experience. When our brides say “Yes” in-store, the pop of champagne is one of the most special parts for the Bride and our whole team, saying “Yes” to the dress is one of the most memorable moments in the whole wedding process, just because you're saying “Yes” at home doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it right!

Don’t forget to hang your Say “YES” at Home banner, provided by #BOF that’s inside your box! And if you really want to the extra mile (which you should) the Say “YES” balloon arch is available from our friends at @myballoonworld
