Say Yes To “GREEN” Couture: New "GREEN" Bridal Salon Opens In Sacramento, In Time For Earth Day!

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - April 8, 2015 - PRLog -- SAY YES TO “GREEN” COUTURE

Second Summer Bride - a new SUSTAINABLE full-service consignment and resale bridal boutique in Sacramento, selling wedding gowns from leading designers at prices up to 75% off retail!

Sacramento, Calif. (4/8/2015)Second Summer Bride opened late this March, offering on-trend bridal gowns and accessories, aiming to step beyond tradition with a new “green” bridal gown concept. Second Summer Bride is Sacramento’s only sustainable full-service bridal salon specializing in selling designer runway samples and overstock, bridal salon showroom samples, and once-loved gowns at prices 25 – 75% off the original retail price.

The new boutique, located at 1433 Fulton Avenue, Suite A in Sacramento, CA 95825, sells gowns from couture and well-known designers including Hayley Paige, Lazaro, Enzoani, Matthew Christopher, Kelly Faetanini, Jim Hjelm, Vera Wang, Pronovias, Maggie Sottero and many more. Second Summer offers options such as purchasing a designer gown literally “off the runway,” to consigning your own once-loved gown to allow it to be loved by another bride, truly embracing a “green” concept.

While many people think of consignment as trying to squeeze a few dollars out of old clothes pulled out of Grandma’s closet, Second Summer Bride elevates the concept by procuring a wide selection of gowns directly from designers or from other salons that may be closing or dropping the line, then sells these gowns at a fraction of what they would sell for brand new, in addition to allowing brides to consign their once-loved gowns. The result is a fantastic variety of gowns, most of which have never been worn down the aisle.

“A bride is always looking for ways to save money without forfeiting her wedding vision, from the quality and look of the gown to her expected level of service within a bridal boutique,” said Karla Fuentes-Rivera, 15-year fashion veteran and owner of Second Summer Bride Sacramento. “What makes Second Summer Bride special is that we drastically minimize the carbon footprint that buying a new gown creates with our consignment/re-love model and still offer that high caliber of service and quality brides expect, with a variety of budget offerings! We allow our brides to feel good about their dress: not only does she get a great deal, she’s also minimized the environmental impact of her wedding on our planet.”

“We cater to every bride – the environmentally conscious, small budget, big budget, destination, mature, young, traditional, vow renewals, second marriages, elopements – you name it, we have a dress for it,” said Fuentes-Rivera. “With no limit on which designers we can carry and 3,000 square feet of showroom space, I am confident Second Summer Bride has something for every type of bride in Northern California.”

In addition to bridal gowns and accessories, Second Summer Bride also offers an eclectic fashion-jewelry collection with all pieces priced at $49 or less, and Second Summer Bride is home to an in-house alterations department that takes appointments every day of the week. All together, Second Summer Bride can complete a bride’s look from head to toe.

Whether you are a “green” bride, a bride on a budget, or you don’t want to drive hours to find your couture gown, Second Summer Bride is the destination for your dream wedding gown. The boutique is open Tuesday-Friday 11a.m. to 7pm, Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday by appointment only. Appointments can be made online at www.secondsummerbridesac.com or by calling 916.330.4422.
