ERGO NEXT specializes in business insurance for bridal shops

Bridal shop insurance usually includes several types of policies to help protect you, your business and your employees from different types of business risks. Your coverage may include:

General Liability insurance for bridal shops

General Liability insurance for bridal shops

Protection for damage to other people's property and injuries to non-employees

General liability insurance could offer financial protection if someone other than an employee — such as a customer or vendor — is injured at your bridal shop, or if you or your employees accidentally damage someone else's property. For example, it may help if a customer trips during a wedding dress fitting and needs medical care, or an employee accidentally damages a customer's belongings, depending on the policy.

general liability can help you pay for:

Legal defense costs after a covered claim
Damage to someone else's property
Medical expenses if someone is injured at your store
Workers’ Compensation insurance

Workers’ Compensation insurance

Often required to help protect employees from work-related illnesses or injuries

Workers' compensation insurance could help pay for medical expenses and lost wages if an employee is injured on the job or suffers a work-related illness — and it's often required if you have employees. This can be important for bridal shops where employees lift heavy garment bags, move display racks or assist customers during fittings. Optional owner's coverage could also help protect you.

Medical expenses and permanent injury benefits
Lost wages and job retraining
Employer's liability insurance in the event of legal action against you
Commercial Property insurance

Commercial Property insurance

Protect your building, inventory, equipment and other business property

Commercial property insurance could help protect the property you rely on to run your bridal store, including wedding dresses, accessories, display fixtures, sewing machines, computers and POS systems and the business space you lease or own. Business interruption insurance — part of commercial property coverage at ERGO NEXT — may also help replace lost income if you have to temporarily close for repairs after an event like a fire, theft or extreme weather damage.

How can bridal shop insurance help your business?

Wedding apparel store insurance could help to:

  • Protect your shop, inventory and equipment. Business insurance could help protect the retail space you own or lease from things like fire, theft or vandalism. It can also cover the contents of your store, including gowns, veils, shoes, tuxedos, POS systems and other business property if it’s damaged by a covered event.
  • Handle liability claims against you. Liability insurance could help protect you if a customer is injured at your bridal shop or if your business accidentally damages someone else’s property.
  • Hire employees. Most states require workers’ comp insurance for small businesses with employees.
  • Protect your business driving. If you or your employees transport inventory, make deliveries or attend bridal shows or events, commercial auto insurance could help protect you while you’re driving cars, vans, trucks or trailers for work.
  • Deal with product liability issues. If a wedding dress, veil or other product you sell is alleged to have caused bodily injury or property damage, product liability coverage may help with the costs of damages or your legal defense.

Bridal shop insurance FAQ

If you don’t find answers to your frequently asked questions here, our licensed, U.S.-based insurance advisors are standing by to help.

Does bridal shop insurance cover wedding dresses and formalwear?

Commercial property insurance, one type of business insurance that can help protect a retail store like a bridal boutique, could help protect your wedding dresses, formalwear, veils, accessories and other business property you own if your store suffers damages from an event like a fire, winter storm damage, theft or burglary.

Do I need insurance to exhibit at bridal shows or wedding expos?

Many bridal shows and wedding expos require vendors to carry general liability insurance and provide a certificate of insurance (proof of insurance, also called a COI) before they can participate. Requirements vary by event space and organizer, so it's a good idea to check what's required before the event.

Does bridal shop insurance cover alterations and dress fittings?

Many bridal shops offer alterations or dress fittings as part of their services. The insurance your business needs depends on the services you provide and the policy you choose.
