As the sister store of The Dress Theory, LVD Bridal is a modern, off-the-rack bridal boutique
offering a curated selection of designer wedding gowns at discounted prices. As an off-the-rack
shop, our gowns are ready to take home the same day, allowing you to skip the long wait times
typically associated with bridal shopping.
Yes, appointments are required. This is to ensure you receive personalized attention from our
stylists. You’ll also have access to a private fitting area, and our team will help guide you
through the gown selection process. We cannot accommodate walk-ins at this time.
Our gowns range in price from just under $1,000 up to $6,000, with most dresses falling in
the $1,500 to $4,000 range. We offer high-quality, designer gowns at a fraction of the original
retail price, making luxury more accessible.
Our collection includes gowns in a wide range of sizes, typically from 0 to 24. However, since
our inventory is consignment-based, size availability can vary. We recommend booking an
appointment to explore our current selection.
We carry a variety of sought-after designers, including Sarah Seven, Rue De Seine, Rime
Arodaky, Alexandra Grecco, Flora Bridal, Theia Bridal, Scout Bridal, Gala by Galia Lahav, Rita
Vinieris, Vera Wang and many more. Our inventory is ever-changing, so you may find unique
styles from other designers too!
Since our inventory is constantly changing, our website may not always reflect our full current
selection. Booking an appointment is the best way to see what we have available. If you're
interested in specific gowns from our website, please include the gown names and designers in
your appointment intake form, but keep in mind we can't guarantee their availability. For those
outside of Nashville looking to purchase a gown, feel free to reach out to us through the 'Contact
Us' page.
Our inventory is constantly changing, with new gowns arriving frequently. Since we are an
off-the-rack shop, what you see today might not be available tomorrow, so if you find 'the one,'
we recommend purchasing it during your appointment.
Yes, we offer a selection of veils, headpieces,belts, and jewelry to complete your bridal look!
We have a large selection of both made-to-order veils and off-the-rack veils, as well as a small
selection of headpieces, belts, and jewelry. Your stylist can help you find accessories that
complement your gown during your appointment.
No, the majority of our gowns are sample gowns that have only been tried on but not worn or
altered in any way. However, we do offer a small selection of gowns worn by happy brides
looking to give their gown a new life.
Appointment FAQs:
You’ll have the entire showroom to yourself during your 60-minute appointment, along with
personalized, one-on-one attention from an experienced LVD stylist. We’ll start by discussing
your wedding vision, style preferences, and budget, then your stylist will pull a curated selection
of gowns while you relax in our private fitting area.
As an off-the-rack shop, all our gowns are ready to take home the same day. You’ll try on

and we strive to create a warm, welcoming, and pressure-free environment for an enjoyable

Appointments are 60 minutes, giving you time to try on gowns, discuss your vision with your
stylist, and find 'the one.
We do not charge a fee to book an appointment. However, because we reserve the entire
showroom just for you, there is a $50 cancellation fee for any cancellations made within 24
hours of your scheduled appointment time. We appreciate your understanding!
We recommend bringing nude undergarments, a strapless bra, or silicone pasties, but we
suggest trying on gowns braless as it helps you better visualize the necklines and backs of
gowns. Keep in mind, cups and other bust support can be added during alterations. Shoes are
welcome but not necessary. Most importantly, bring an open mind as you explore different styles
with your stylist. Don’t forget any inspiration photos you’d like to share!
Yes! We encourage brides to bring a supportive entourage. You are welcome to bring up to
five guests to share this special experience with you.
To maintain the quality of our off-the-rack gowns, only LVD stylists handle the dresses. Our
experienced stylists know the inventory inside and out, so they’ll select gowns based on your
preferences and vision.
Yes, you're absolutely welcome to take photos!
We do offer complimentary champagne! You are also more than welcome to bring in your
own champagne or celebratory beverages, but please keep in mind that they must be clear or
no darker than white wine. Red wine, rosé, or any other darker colored beverage is not allowed
in order to protect our gowns. Coffee is allowed, but it must be in a cup with a lid and only
consumed when seated and not near any gowns.
We understand that things come up! If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let us know
as soon as possible. This allows us to open up your spot for another bride.
We recommend making your appointment a child-free experience to maintain a calm and
focused environment for you and your guests. However, if bringing a child is necessary, please
ensure they are supervised at all times.
Other FAQs:
LVD Bridal does not provide in-house alterations. However, we have trusted seamstresses
we can recommend who specialize in bridal alterations. Since our gowns are off-the-rack,
alterations are key to achieving that perfect fit, and our expert stylists will talk you through that
process. Just a friendly reminder - alterations are necessary for almost all wedding dresses,
whether or not they are off-the-rack or made to order!
We do not buy gowns outright, as we operate as a consignment shop. This means we sell
gowns on behalf of the owner and share a portion of the sale once the dress sells. Currently,
we’re not accepting gowns on consignment directly from individuals. However, when we do,
gowns must be no more than 5 years old, in excellent condition, and we are very selective about
the designers and styles we accept.
All in-store sales are final. Since our dresses are consignment pieces and off-the-rack, we do
not accept returns or issue any refunds.
Please use the “Contact Us” section on our website for all gown size, price and availability
inquiries, or call us at 615-487-2893 (please note - if we are unable to answer your call, kindly
leave us a voicemail and we will get back to you as soon as we can!).
Don’t worry! Most bridal gowns can be altered to fit you perfectly. Our stylists will guide you
on how alterations can adjust the gown to your body, and we can recommend trusted
seamstresses who specialize in bridal alterations.
