Running a bridal boutique is a dream job for many, but managing inventory?

Not so glamorous.


From tracking hundreds of styles and sizes to keeping tabs on reorders, samples, and special orders, bridal inventory management can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where BridalLive comes in. Our all-in-one bridal shop software is designed to simplify the inventory process, so you can focus more on your brides and less on the spreadsheets.


Here’s how BridalLive makes inventory management easy, organized, and stress-free.


1. Centralized Inventory at Your Fingertips


No more clipboards or outdated spreadsheets.


With BridalLive, all your inventory, from bridal gowns and veils to tuxedos and accessories, is organized in one system. You can view styles, colors, sizes, availability, and even photos, all from your dashboard.


  • Track in-stock and sample items
  • Organize by designer, style number, category, or price
  • Easily search and filter your full collection


2. Barcode Scanning for Quick Updates


Tired of manually entering every dress into your system? BridalLive supports barcode scanning so you can:


  • Quickly check in new shipments
  • Easily locate an item for a bride
  • Scan items during checkout or return


This saves time and reduces mistakes.


3. Track Special Orders Like a Pro


In bridal, most gowns are ordered per customer, which means tracking special orders is crucial.


BridalLive allows you to:


  • Log special orders with designer, style, and custom notes
  • Record expected delivery dates
  • Notify brides when their gown arrives
  • Avoid lost or forgotten orders


Your team stays organized. Your brides stay informed. Everyone wins.


4. Know What to Reorder (and What to Stop Ordering)


Your best sellers should never be out of stock.


BridalLive provides reports and insights on what’s selling and what’s sitting. This helps you:


  • Identify your top-selling styles
  • Avoid overbuying slow movers
  • Plan smarter reorders and trunk shows


Bonus: You’ll save money by buying strategically.

5. Sync Inventory with Appointments


Want to create a seamless shopping experience? BridalLive lets you connect inventory to appointments, so stylists can:


  • Pull dresses ahead of time
  • Mark favorites in the bride’s profile
  • Track what the bride tried on
  • Add notes for future visits


It’s not just organized, it’s personal.


6. Go Paperless & Cloud-Based


Your inventory data lives securely in the cloud—accessible from anywhere. That means:


  • Work from the front desk, the fitting room, or even from home
  • Stay updated on deliveries and appointments in real-time
  • Keep everything backed up and secure


No more binders. No more stress.


Inventory management doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. With BridalLive, you get the tools to organize your stock, serve your brides better, and grow your business with confidence.


Whether you're a new boutique or a seasoned salon looking to streamline your back office, BridalLive helps you stay on top of inventory—so you can stay focused on what really matters: the bride.
