For The New and Just-Wed Bride, White Chicago is White On!
You are engaged to the perfect person, wearing the perfect ring and planning your perfect dream wedding. Everything is perfect until you begin the hunt for your perfect dress.
Somewhere between the pushy sales people and the sickeningly high price tags, you find yourself wondering how you will ever find or afford that designer, fits-you-like-a-glove, brings-tears-to-their-eyes dress that you have envisioned since you were twelve? And if you do, what on earth are you going to do with it after your big day?
Enter White Chicago.
Located in the heart of the River North arts district, owner Ursula Guyer's vision for White Chicago was to create the perfect place for brides-to-be looking for a high-fashion designer gown without the designer price tag. But there's lots more in store here!
Not only will you feel like you've stepped into a dream when you enter this gorgeous, bathed in white, lower-level art space to find an amazing selection of some of the most sought-after gowns from the bridal gown pantheon of Badgley Mischka, Monique Lhuillier, Vera Wang and the rest – you will find them at 30-70% off. Which is enough to make any bride weep with joy.
This is not your typical consignment boutique. White Chicago is the cream of the crop in upscale bridal consignment, with racks full of the best dresses in a range of sizes, a resource lounge with wireless internet access, and an actual runway, so you can see for yourself what your dress will look like as you walk down the aisle.
White Chicago specializes in new and once-wed designer dresses, but don't let “second-hand” hang-ups from days gone by keep you from missing out on this extraordinary experience.
From the moment you walk in (you will be asked to take off your shoes and given a cute pair of socks, so as not to dirty the impeccably white floors), you, your entourage – even your fiancé, should you choose to share the experience – will be treated like absolute royalty.
You will be talked to, not talked at. You will be listened to and understood. You will be made to feel as though choosing your dream dress is one of the best parts of the process rather than the high-stress, tear-filled experience of the days before White Chicago.
The dresses are immaculate with 70% of them arriving directly from high-end designers and stores.
White Chicago only accepts dresses that are in pristine condition, less than four years old, and with original retail prices of over $1,500. So you can be sure that the dress you fall in love with is perfect in every way.
If you're a just-wed bride looking for a good home for your beloved wedding dress, White Chicago will help you pass it on to someone who will love it as much as you – and you can get back up to 50% of the sale price!
