May our company join the American Bridalwear Association ("ABA") and be listed in BridalwearSuppliers.com ?

To be a member of the ABA, an individual or company must be designing or manufacturing bridalwear for sale in the United States and Canada. Membership in the ABA is typically offered to companies recommended by current ABA members during our Annual Bridalwear Survey. Companies receiving a Pre-Approved ABA Invitation directly from the ABA may register and complete their company profile online via the BridalwearSuppliers.com website, no additional application and investigation process is required.

May our company apply for membership without an ABA Invitation?

Companies designing, manufacturing, or wholesale distributing bridalwear for sale in the United States or Canada may apply for membership, but acceptance is not automatic. Companies that have not received a Pre-Approved ABA Invitation may contact us and request an application form. Application submissions are reviewed and investigated, and decisions are sent to applicants in approximately 30-45 days. If your Company's application is approved for membership you will receive an ABA Invitation with instructions for registering and completing your company profile for inclusion in the ABA directory. If an application for membership is not approved for any reason, at the sole and absolute discretion of the ABA membership committee, that company may not apply for membership again for 24 months.
