Styled Shoot Inquiries

We truly enjoy collaborating with talented local vendors and connecting with new wedding professionals to recommend to our brides! We love participating in styled shoots that align with our values and resonate with us creatively. For us, these shoots offer a wonderful opportunity to build personal and professional relationships with fellow vendors. While the photos are always a great result, the real value lies in the networking and the connections we make.

Just a couple things you should know before we work together…

1. Our first question that we always have when fielding styled shoot inquires is,  do you have a model? Since we are a consignment boutique, our gown availability varies greatly. To keep the bottom of the gown clean, the best models are going to be taller that 5ft 7inches. 
2. We require a model fitting to take place in our shop the week prior to the shoot during normal business hours. Since bridal sizing is tricky, submitting measurements just wont cut it. We also like to hand select the dress for the model that best represent our brand.
3. Due to the consignment nature of our business, the gowns we carry do not belong to us and will be worn by a future bride therefore, they must be returned in the same condition in which it left the shop. 
4. Hair and Makeup artists, please refrain from using heavy makeup that could possibly transfer to the dress on the models chest.
5. When published online, it is required by all users to tag Astraea appropriately whenever the gown is shown in photos. No need to tag if the gown is not in the photograph. 
6. Upon return, the gown will be assessed by a team member of Astraea Bridal and if cleaning or repairs are necessary, a fee will be assessed at that time and can be as high as 50% of the cost of the dress. Before the borrower takes the items from the shop, a credit card will be stored on file.
