Finery Bridal Chic

What Finery Bridal Chic does

Finery Bridal Chic is a single-location, appointment-only bridal boutique based in Rochester, Minnesota, serving brides in Rochester and the surrounding Southeastern Minnesota market. The company operates an in-person, personalized fitting model built around 90-minute appointments, supported by a Bridal Vision Guide that lets brides pre-select and communicate style preferences ahead of their visit, and Cojilio as the underlying booking platform.

Its core product is a curated assortment of designer wedding gowns from Lis Simon, Eddy K, Willowby by Watters, and Studio Levana, priced between $1,500 and $3,600 with the majority of inventory in the $1,500-$2,500 range. The boutique complements its gown offering with accessories from Erica Koessler, Olive & Piper, Goldfine Jewelry, and Jaxie. The company is launching a bridal consignment program in May 2025, adding a second-hand inventory channel alongside primary designer sales.

The business model is consumer retail with a high-touch, service-led go-to-market: revenue is generated per bride through gown and accessory sales, with no disclosed enterprise contracts, subscription revenue, or outside investment. The company is privately held, has 6 employees, and operates from a single physical storefront with no disclosed online sales channel or additional locations.
