Urban Bridal Shop Kansas City
FAQ'S
Q. What is urban bridal shop?
We sell the largest selection of designer sample wedding dresses off-the-rack in the Midwest. All of our gowns have never been altered or worn at a wedding. It’s like a sample sale everyday, without the craziness that goes along with a sale! We have anywhere from 300-450 gowns that we sell off-the-rack at discounts that generally range from 25-70% off retail. Why wait for a sample sale where you will see a smaller amount of dresses AND have to deal with the craziness of many brides trying to get the same dresses at a sale?!
Urban Bridal was created to give brides a fresh + modern take on the wedding gown industry. We feel that the wedding dress shopping experience should be a fun but relaxing experience. From the moment you walk into the shop, we want you and your bridal crew to feel welcomed and relaxed. We want this appointment to be about you, the BRIDE and what you want. For us, it’s not just selling a wedding dress, it’s assisting each individual bride until you find YOUR wedding day look! We bring in so many different designers and styles and keep a wide range of styles, sizes, and price points. We're so excited to meet you!!

Q. This is my first time shopping, how many people can I bring?
We strongly suggest that you limit this to a couple of key people. Yes, you love your mom, sister, sister-in-law, grandma, maid of honor, and six bridesmaids but we’ve found that it’s hard to figure out what you love when there are too many opinions. With that being said, each bride is allowed to bring 1-6 ADULT guests. No children, no people swaps. If you have a special situation, give us a call and we can do our best to accommodate your party :)
Q. How long do appointments last?
We set aside 90 min appointments for our brides. For many, this is enough time to find your perfect wedding day look and say yes to the dress! If you are just shopping accessories, give us a call and we can schedule a shorter 30 minute appointment.
Q. How much do your bridal gowns cost?
Our gowns range from $750-$2,500 The majority of our gowns are between $900-$1500.
Q. What is a sample store?
Think “Sample Sale”, everyday! We have the largest selection of off the rack sample gowns in the Midwest. We have anywhere from 300-450 gowns instore at most times. We don’t do any orders and most times only have 1 of every dress. So, when you find the dress you love….you should buy it. ;)
Q: What size samples do you have?
We always have gowns in store that fit up to a regular jean size 12. We also have a smaller selection of dresses that range from 14-24. We have every bride answer a few questions for us when setting up their appointment to ensure we have gowns in store that will be the correct size. If we happen to be low on sizes, we will let you know.
Q. My wedding is in a few months, can i still get a dress?
Yes, we are a 100% off the rack sample store and we carry between 300-450 samples in store at all times. When you find a dress with us, you buy and take with you the SAME DAY.
Q. Do you have dresses to purchase off the rack?
Yes! We are 100% off-the-rack. We carry the largest selection of off the rack dresses in Kansas City metro, quite possibly the largest selection in the Midwest in 1 store.
Q: When should I buy my veil & accessories?
Many brides will purchase at the time of their appointment. If we don’t have the perfect veil or accessories at the time of your appointment, many will purchase around 2 months before wedding. This way, you aren’t leaving too many things until right before your wedding.
Q. What do i need to bring with me to my appointment
1. underwear – you must wear underwear. We suggest nude, but any color is fine as long as you have them on. If you come to an appointment without them, we won’t allow you to let you try on.
2. strapless bra – optional (you will usually take off because so many dresses have amazing backs that you will want to see without the bra strap in the back). Don’t spend money on a new strapless bra, chances are it wont work for your wedding dress and you wasted money on something you wont ever wear again.
3. shapewear – optional for sure. If you are one that feels more comfy when wearing it, then bring it!
4. We suggest bringing anyone that is helping you make your decision. Since were a sample store, if you find the dress you love and wait to purchase, there’s a chance the gown will be gone when you come back.

Q. Do You offer alterations in House?
No. Although we don’t do alterations in-house, we have partnered up with the best seamstresses in the area! We connect all of our brides with a seamstress and confirm the alterations before our brides walk out the door. By no means do you have to use the seamstresses we suggest, but we highly recommend them!

The only hold we do is $150.00 non-refundable 24-hour hold. We do this to allow brides to move money around if needed.
Q. Do you do payment plans?
We don’t do payment plans. We do take all forms of cc, debit cards, and cash.
Q. Do you offer cleaning & preservation packages?
Yes! You said "I DO" now what? We work with a cleaning and preservation company that has been preserving dresses since 1913! Simply drop your gown off with us, and we will take care of the rest!
