What insurance do bridal shops need?

Bridal shops and boutiques could benefit from:

  • Public liability insurance – Can help protect you where customers and other members of the public have accidents or injuries that occur on your premises.
  • Employer’s liability insurance – Intended to provide cover if your employees have accidents or injuries whilst at work for you . Please note that you have a legal requirement to get employer’s liability insurance if you employ any staff.
  • Professional indemnity insurance – Can help protect you for claims of negligence or misconduct, such as accidentally damaging a gown during an alteration.
  • Buildings insurance – Can help protect your bridal shop premises for damages resulting from insured events such as; fire, flood, theft, and other incidents.
  • Stock and contents insurance – Can help protect your stock, along with your equipment, such as sewing machines for insured events such as; loss, damage, or theft.
  • All of the above will be subject to policy terms and conditions, exclusions and any applicable limits.

Key risks for bridal shops

Bridal shops face unique challenges and risks, including:

  • You could accidentally soil or damage a gown while making alterations, or while delivering it to a customer.
  • A fire, a flood, or another incident could damage your stock or your premises.
  • A customer or an employee could slip, trip, fall, or otherwise injure themselves while visiting your store.
  • Thieves could break into your store, damaging valuable equipment and stealing valuable stock.

Insuring high value wedding dresses

If you stock high value wedding dresses, either for sale or for lease, then we can tailor your bridal shop insurance to include higher cover limits.

This can cover your most valuable gowns for loss or damage due to fire, flood, theft, or human error depending on the cover you decide to purchase. The cover can extend to incidents that occur off your premises, such as items that get lost or damaged during delivery.

How much is insurance for bridal shops?

The amount you pay for your bridal shop insurance will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • Your store’s size and location
  • The specific services you offer (i.e. whether you offer alterations, and whether you sell or lease gowns)
  • The value of your stock
  • The level of cover you need.
