Hi Bride-to-Be,

You might have seen TikTok videos of brides enjoying their bridal appointments with champagne in hand, surrounded by their bridesmaids sipping away in celebration. Some of those are part of paid experiences, while others are complimentary depending on the boutique.

While I think that’s a lovely idea, that’s not something I offer here at Accapella Bridal. That said, I’ve had brides ask if they can bring their own champagne and glasses—and I have absolutely no problem with that!

The reason I don’t offer the full “champagne and photoshoot” experience myself is simple: I run Accapella Bridal on my own, and I personally handle all fittings and alterations. To offer that kind of experience, I would need to hire staff, which would take time away from the one-on-one service and sewing work I focus on for each bride.

It’s easy to get swept up in the sparkle of it all, but remember: once your dress is ordered from most boutiques, the experience often ends there. You're handed off to a seamstress elsewhere.

At Accapella, your journey continues with me—Connie—from your first appointment to the final fitting. With over 35 years of bridal dressmaking experience, and a full-time fashion design education that emphasized precision pattern-making and sewing long before the internet era, I bring both craftsmanship and continuity to your experience.

That’s the difference here at Accapella Bridal.

Warmly,

Connie 🌸
