Ruined your wedding dress? Here's how DoorDash can help your wedding emergency
(WHTM) — June is traditionally the biggest wedding month, but many couples are rethinking the traditional big wedding ceremony, and the industry is meeting those needs.
With weddings costing tens of thousands of dollars, more and more couples are skipping the big reception and going small. Some are getting married on a moment's notice. If so, one bridal chain wants to help.
'This would be one of our off-the-rack little white dresses,' says Tasha Ruphard, who has an unconventional solution for brides who have decided on a last-minute wedding.
A DoorDasher can pick up an item that's in stock in your size and color and deliver it to your home. David's Bridal partnered with DoorDash to deliver dresses as quickly as a fast food meal!Of course, brides have been able to order online for years, but when is that dress going to show up? Well, with DoorDash, you should get it within an hour.
From jewelry to last-minute bachelorette party accessories, the platform has mostly inexpensive dresses that you order after some simple measurements.
Of course, don't expect custom tailoring here at the alterations shop, St. Claire's Closet. Owner Elizabeth Stockhauser has fixed plenty of online dresses that were a poor fit.
'There are less layers in there, less foam, the pads are a little cheaper, sometimes you get a look that doesn't quite fit right,' said Stockhauser, who has a lot of concerns with buying any wedding dress online, even if it is not last.
'The fabric or the cut is not what it looks like on the model, so you have to watch out, sometimes pictures are not the same product.
Instead, she says, try your local bridal salon for samples or off-the-rack dresses, or buy a dress secondhand at a consignment or used clothing boutique.
But bride-to-be Toni Goldsmith loves the idea of DoorDash if a detail slips through the cracks.
'I think that would save a lot of bridezillas from happening, if they were able to have that,' said Goldsmith. 'While you may not want to doordash your wedding gown. It's a great way to get that last-minute item someone forgot, when you are already at the church.'
It may not be perfect, but it beats taking that wedding photo in a sweatshirt and shorts, and way you don't waste your money.
