Welcome to the Bridal Boutique Directory

Polished Brides celebrates the places where dreams take shape—the bridal boutiques that guide, support, and inspire brides on their journey to the perfect gown.


Our Boutique Directory inside the Polished Brides Playbook features shops that set the standard for service, curation, and unforgettable experiences.

Boutique FAQs

Do we pay for our brides to apply?

No—brides apply directly with a $25 application investment. TIP: Have the bride purchase at checkout, give her the $25 off her dress, this way its a win win! (NOTE: all bride submissions must be by the bride or their party, NOT the Boutique. We do not allow this.

Exclusivity?

Regional & Country slots are limited; local exclusivity may be considered case-by-case. We are only going to accept a specific number of Boutiques so the list is more "exclusive"

Are Retreat passes included?

Retreat attendance pertains to selected Cover Couples for cover portraits; boutique placement is separate.
In short, any winning bride will receive 2 tickets to the Blueprint Retreat
