Executive Summary

Bridal boutiques and wedding-service providers today juggle appointments, sample gown inventory, alterations and deposits using spreadsheets, consumer booking tools or bulky POS systems, which leads to scheduling friction, lost deposits and higher no-show rates. Small owners and stylists—often single-location businesses—spend significant time on administrative work that distracts from sales and client experience. Build a cloud-native, mobile-first SaaS that is scheduling-first but integrates inventory/sample tracking, alteration workflows, deposit/layaway payments, automated SMS/email confirmations, and simple billing/receipt flows so stylists and managers can run front-desk and back-office tasks in one place. Include role-based access, analytics dashboards and an embeddable online booking widget to meet brides where they search. This is a timely opportunity: roughly 300,000 wedding-service and bridal retail businesses represent a $1.05B TAM (300k × $3,500 ACV), and macro trends—verticalization of SMB software, brides’ expectation for online booking, and the shift to digital deposits—favor niche, workflow-focused solutions. Many boutiques are willing to pay a $3-4k ACV for software that measurably reduces no-shows and administrative hours. You can out-compete generic scheduling and POS tools by baking in bridal-specific workflows (sample tracking, gown lifecycle and alteration scheduling), templated appointment types and marketplace integrations to shorten onboarding and deliver immediate ROI. Be candid: competition is medium and customer acquisition plus deep integrations (payments, accounting) will require focused sales and partnerships, but the unit economics look attractive if you win local clusters of boutiques.
