** UPDATE: We are now hoping to reopen on May 16th as per the Governor's instructions.  In the meantime, we have started offering Virtual Bridal Appointments, if you are looking to get a head start on your dress shopping.  If you already started shopping we can answer any questions you have to help you virtually saying say to your dress!  You can book an appointment right on our website!

We have been closely monitoring the rapid spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) across our country and so happy to finally see a possible flattening of the curve.  This is hugely a result of us all staying home and avoiding social situations. Our main priorities continue to be the safety and well-being of our customers, employees and community.  Following the guidance of Governor Cuomo, we hope we can reopen both our Brooklyn and Long Island locations on May 16th. We are eager to help our brides find their dream wedding dress and continue to service our wonderful Lotus brides!  

Are you ready to set up a bridal appointment with us?  If so, you can book an appointment online by clicking the "APPOINTMENTS" tab on the upper right of this page and follow the instructions.  We are so excited to meet you!

If you are a Lotus Bride, we want to assure you that you are in good hands and we are here to support you and take care of your needs.  We have been monitoring all our orders closely to make sure the delivery time frames are acceptable based on your wedding date. So far we have not experienced significant delays but this can change depending on the current global situation.  Most of these delays are not production related but shipping related due to the prioritization of medical supplies like PPEs, gloves, ventilators etc. We have been in contact with all our designers to ensure shipments that are ready, are shipped to us right away.

We have also received a few requests from brides who have been to Lotus Bridal before and wanted to say yes to the dress digitally.  We can definitely help you with that! Just reach out to us and we'll make it happen!

If you have any questions you can reach out to us via email at [email protected], if you are a Brooklyn bride, and [email protected], if you are a Long Island bride.  All emails will be answered within 24 hours. 

And this note is to all our healthcare workers, first responders, essential workers and military: 

We are forever indebted to you for making the personal sacrifices so that we are safe and taken cared of.  Is easy to let fear overtake our lives but seeing the good you do gives us all strength to get through this.  Let's all do our part by continuing to stay home and practice social distancing. Together we can make it through this!  Stay safe and be well!

Everyone Meet Peggy Hwang! 

Peggy is a Lotus Bride who just celebrated her nuptials in January, with a beautiful ceremony surrounded by all her friends and family! Peggy was such a delight to have in the store and our girls remember her fondly. Peggy wore an amazing dress by Stella York and she looked absolutely fabulous on her big day! 

One thing that's even more amazing about Peggy is that she’s a nurse in the Intensive Care Unit at John Hopkins Hospital and is battling the COVID-19 pandemic daily. Lotus Bridal would like to thank Peggy for her contribution in this global crisis. We are so proud to be of service to brave women like you. Sending you strength and positive thoughts as you suit up for the front lines.

If anyone is looking for a way to help out Peggy and her team of amazing people please reach out to us at [email protected]. Medical supplies like masks, gloves, alcohol wipes, hand creams and even snacks are super appreciated! 

Lotus Bridal is forever grateful to all health care workers, first responders, essential workers and military for their unwavering support and dedication to our community.  You guys rock and we are sending you all our love and strength to get us through this.

Please spread the word that the best and easiest way to help is to STAY HOME!  You might not feel sick but you can still be spreading the virus.  Let us work together to make this brutal coronavirus go away!  Stay safe and be well!

We have been closely monitoring the rapid spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) across our country in recent days and after hearing Governor Cuomo’s update today, we will be temporarily closing both our Brooklyn and Long Island bridal boutiques starting Sunday March 22^nd.  We expect to reopen both locations by Wednesday, April 15^th.  Our main priorities continue to be the safety and well-being of our customers and employees.  We must all come together as a community and do our part to #FlattentheCurve. 

Both stores will be open this Saturday, March 21st for any last-minute pickups. We will have very limited staff so please set up an appointment so that we can prepare your gown in advance.  If you have an appointment with us during this temporary closure, we will reach out to you to reschedule.  Although we will be closed to the public, we hope to continue to receive and process shipments as well as answer any of your questions or concerns. You can reach us anytime by emailing us at [email protected] if you are a Brooklyn bride or [email protected] if you are a Long Island bride.  All emails will be answered within 24 hours.

We send you a ton of love and support as we all navigate through this difficult time together!  We will continue to update our Instagram with new gowns so you can save them to try on when we reopen.   Can’t wait to help you find your dream dress and for you to become a #LotusBride!  Be well our beautiful brides!

At Lotus Bridal, the safety and well-being of our customers and employees remain our top priority.  As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) continue to affect our communities, we have taken immediate measures to ensure we are continuing to deliver the level of quality, excellence and timeliness you are accustomed to from us during these unique circumstances.    

We are closely following the guidelines and recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).  We have increased the frequency of cleaning and sanitizing both our Brooklyn and Mineola locations as well as stocked both stores with the necessary cleaning supplies.  All Lotus Bridal employees have been trained on precautionary health measures, including washing their hands frequently and the importance of staying home if they are showing any signs of illness. 

We do implore our customers to reschedule their appointments with us if they're showing any signs of illness or have been in contact with someone who has.  As a community, we can all join together to slow the spread of this outbreak by being responsible, using common sense and washing your hands!  Let’s all work together to flatten the curve and help save lives and protect our community and loved ones. 

Many Lotus Brides have been reaching out to check on the status of their orders amid the Coronavirus outbreak and we are happy to say that so far, we have not experienced any significant delays.  We are in close communication with all our designers weekly to ensure that our customers' wedding gowns are on target.  We will continue to monitor the deliveries and will reach out to you directly if we are informed of any delays. 

We have heard that many brides who require a dress immediately have difficulty finding it.  Hopefully, Lotus Bridal can save the day!  We carry an extensive selection of sample sale gowns in our Mineola location that can be purchased the same day and also carry designers who have an amazing selection of in stock gowns.  If you’re in a pinch, please reach out to us so we can help you find your dream wedding gown! 

Thank you for being part of the Lotus family and putting your trust in us.  We remain fully committed to the safety and well-being of you and your loved ones.  If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us.
