What a Wedding Dress Consultant Does
A wedding dress consultant helps brides choose, style, and coordinate their wedding gown and accessories. They manage appointments, suggest silhouettes, handle fittings, and often liaise with designers and boutiques. Their guidance can simplify planning and save time during a busy wedding season.
Tipping a Wedding Dress Consultant
Tipping a wedding dress consultant is not always required, but it is common when they provide dedicated, personalized service. Industry guidance suggests a gratuity of 15% to 20% of the total consultation or dress purchase price when the consultant goes above standard duties. For simple advice or brief appointments, a smaller tip or a thank-you gift may be appropriate.
When and How to Give a Tip
Tip at the final fitting or after the dress is delivered, when the consultant has successfully managed your order and any adjustments. If you bought the dress through the consultant, calculate the tip on the dress price before taxes and discounts. For multi-boutique searches or extensive planning, consider a higher tip to reflect the extra time and coordination involved.
