Appointment scheduling
Appointment Scheduling Built for Bridal Boutiques
Brides shop for appointments at 10pm, not during store hours. CloudBridal gives them a beautiful booking page that works around the clock — while you stay in control of rooms, stylists, and schedules.
Online booking
Let Brides Book While You Sleep
Most brides research shops in the evening — after your phone stops being answered. With CloudBridal, a booking link on your website or Instagram bio replaces the voicemail box. Brides pick an appointment type, see real availability, and lock in a time in under a minute.
Availability is computed from your actual capacity — fitting rooms, staff schedules, and per-day overrides — so a bride can never book a slot you can't actually serve.
- Booking page brandable to your boutique, linkable from anywhere
- Appointment types you define — bridal, bridesmaids, fittings, pickups
- Real-time availability based on rooms, staff, and schedule overrides
- Automatic email confirmations with reschedule and cancel links
No-show protection
Deposits and Card-on-File That Stop No-Shows
An empty fitting room on a Saturday costs far more than any deposit. CloudBridal lets you require a booking fee or a card on file per appointment type — so serious brides book, and no-shows think twice.
Payments run through the integrated Stripe connection and are recorded automatically on the customer's profile, so there's nothing to reconcile later.
- Require a deposit, a card on file, or nothing — per appointment type
- Booking fees collected securely through Stripe at the moment of booking
- Payments recorded automatically against the customer profile
Arrive prepared
Know Your Bride Before She Walks In
The best appointments start before the bride arrives. Customer registration collects the details you actually want — wedding date, budget, style preferences, party size — with questions you fully control. Answers land on the customer profile automatically, so your stylist walks into the room already knowing the story.
- Fully customizable registration questions
- Responses populate the customer profile — no re-typing
- Favorite items collected ahead of the visit, so you can pull gowns early

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about appointment scheduling in CloudBridal.
Can brides book appointments online themselves?
Yes. CloudBridal includes a public booking page you can link from your website, Google Business Profile, or Instagram. Brides choose an appointment type, see live availability, and book without calling — and your staff can always book on their behalf in the calendar too.
Can I require a deposit or card to book?
Yes. Each appointment type can require a booking fee or a card on file through the integrated Stripe connection. Many boutiques use this for Saturday bridal appointments to eliminate no-shows while keeping weekday bookings free.
How do appointment reminders work?
CloudBridal sends automatic email reminders before appointments, and on eligible plans SMS reminders as well. Brides can confirm or reschedule directly from the reminder, and confirmations show up in your calendar.
How does CloudBridal know what times are available?
Availability is calculated from your fitting rooms, staff schedules, appointment durations, and any per-day overrides you set — like holidays, trunk shows, or shortened hours. Brides only ever see times you can genuinely serve.
Is there a limit on appointments?
The Basic plan includes 50 appointments per month, which suits smaller boutiques. Core and Ultimate plans include unlimited appointments.
Does the scheduler work with my existing website?
Yes. You get a hosted booking page you can link from any website builder — Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, Shopify — or from social media. No code required.
What happens when a bride needs to reschedule?
Her confirmation email includes secure links to reschedule or cancel within the rules you set. The calendar updates instantly and the slot opens back up for other brides.
Can I ask brides questions before their appointment?
Yes. The customer registration tool lets you define your own questions — wedding date, budget, sizes, style preferences — and answers automatically populate the customer profile before the visit.
