The event will be held at Crown Plaza in Annapolis, MD. Parking is free for all. There is limited parking so please arrive timely, but please be aware doors WILL NOT open early. We will be allowing you to shop during your designated shopping timeframe only. 

Your registration will guarantee ATTENDANCE to the sample sale and is NOT a one-on-one appointment. Consultants will be available, but not necessarily assigned to you. We DO NOT allow gowns to be tried on when it comes to improper sizing as this can cause damage to the gowns and warrant you to pay for a gown you don't love or cannot find, but have fallen in love with. The gown must be within an appropriate alteration range in order to achieve the best fit as these gowns are exclusively sold off-the-rack. Consultants will direct you to the proper sizing racks upon arrival and it is best to try on a couple in that size range before making modifications to a different size, as each designer's size chart can run differently.

Please remember bridal sizing can run 1 - 2 sizes up generally, but in some cases 3-4 sizes up, so DO NOT look at gowns that are your current jean size. A Bridal Profile is filled out when registering for your shopping timeframe. Please fill this out as accurately as possible so our consultants can best assist you. This helps us stay on time, as we must be mindful of the all brides for the day. 

Gowns will have tags on them and if there are any questions, please ask a consultant. Gowns will be verified at check out so switching tags will not be permitted. ALL gowns will be $499 and UNDER during the sale! All gowns will be well under their retail value, so regardless of price point they are all a great deal. If you have the budget / timeline we will have other off-the-rack and made-to-order dresses available an will offer 10% off on them during this event. However, they will not be the focus for this event -- as there will be 300+ gowns from $299 - $499 + Tax!

Please arrive on time to ensure you have the availability to look at the gowns. If you do not find a gown, you are more than welcome to make an appointment at Champagne Taste Bridal to choose from gowns in our boutique at NON-SAMPLE SALE pricing (still a good deal) and new arrivals or made-to-order gowns. Admission fees are for the attendance to the sale and are NON-REFUNDABLE, even if you do not show up for your registration the fee will be retained. Tickets / Appointments can be transferred by email [email protected].

Once you have booked your appointment, there is NO REFUND for non-attendance cancellations, only transfers approved by emailing [email protected]. If you are unable to transfer your tickets, we can offer you credit to our sister boutique, Jack & Juni, to be used by the end of the year, as long as you have cancelled your event registration via email within 7 days of the event. If you cancel inside of the 7 days prior to the event or just don’t show up, your registration fee will be forfeited.  

  • PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF GUEST COUNT -- We encourage there there be no more than 4 guests + the bride and refrain from children IF POSSIBLE as the aisles can be tight -- this is a sample sale, so it can be chaotic and too many opinions can also be EXTREMELY overwhelming for our brides in this type of sale environment. We do suggest to refrain from bringing children to this event specifically because the the gown aisles can get tight and main doors of the shop will be open and we are located on a MAIN HIGHWAY!
  • If you plan to try on gowns, please refrain from recently being spray-tanned, wearing makeup that easily rubs off or any lipstick colors. These can damage gowns and cause you to have a purchase a gown you don't absolutely love!
  • All vendors participating and any that provide gift bag inclusions will receive a list of the attendees and may use these for marketing purposes.
  • Photographs may be taken at the event and by registering yourself and your guests, you permit Champagne Taste Bridal, LLC & Affiliates to use any photographs, without further approval, for marketing purposes through social media and print advertising.
  • All gown sales are FINAL, non-refundable, not exchangeable, and not returnable. Gowns are all sold 'AS IS'. Alteration questions should be asked at the time of the show and will be priced independently by an independent seamstress. Champagne Taste Bridal can offer seamstress suggestions but holds no liability to their work.
  • Attendance at this event is done at the attendee's own risk. It is the responsibility of the attendee to practice safe distancing, proper mask procedures, and hand hygiene. Champagne Taste Bridal, LLC Owner, Staff & Affiliates will be doing their best to ensure a sanitized and safe experience. 

Champagne Taste Bridal, LLC reserves the right to ask any attendee to leave the premises if they are not following proper COVID procedures, being unkind to the sales staff, vendors, other bridal expo participates or participating in any form of horseplay (pushing, shoving, foul language and other activities that may be deemed harmful or unnecessary).
