Intellectual Property Policy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

This Intellectual Property Policy explains who owns the designs, images and words on bridetee.shop, how you may and may not use them, how we try to respect other people’s rights in what we sell, and what we decline to print when you type text into one of our personalisation fields. It also explains how to tell us about a trademark, design or other concern. For copyright notices in the formal DMCA format, see our DMCA page.

1. What belongs to Bride Tee

The Bride Tee name, the role-word designs, the date layouts, the itinerary tee layout, the drawn homepage line-up of seven tees with the bride in white at the centre, the product images, the product descriptions, the size advice and the text of our information pages are owned by Bride Tee or used with permission. They are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws.

The idea behind the store is simple and we are happy for anyone to talk about it: start from the wedding colours, keep the bride in white, and put everyone else in one colour name from the palette. What we own is our particular expression of that idea: our drawings, our layouts, our product photos and our words.

2. What you may do with our content

• Share a link to any page or product in the group chat, by email or on your own social accounts. That is exactly how most bridal parties choose a design together.
• Take a screenshot of a product or of the palette line-up to show the bride-to-be or the other bridesmaids what you have in mind.
• Print a page for your own planning folder, such as the size advice or the count-back of making and transit days.
• Quote a short extract with a link back to the page it came from.
• Post photos of yourself and your bridal party wearing your Bride Tee pieces. Those photos are yours.

3. What you may not do with our content

• Copy our designs, product photos or descriptions to sell the same or similar products in another store, on a marketplace or through a print service.
• Use the Bride Tee name, or anything confusingly similar, in a way that suggests we made, sponsor or approve something we did not.
• Present our drawings, including the line-up illustration, as your own work.
• Scrape or bulk-download the site with automated tools, apart from normal search engine indexing.
• Make derivative products from our designs without our written permission.

If you would like to use something in a way this section does not allow, for example featuring a photo of our tees in a wedding planning article, email us and ask. Many requests like that are easy to agree to.

4. Our design rules: original only

Every product in the range follows the same rules, and they exist as much to respect other people’s rights as to give the bridal party something she can wear again after the wedding.

What our designs use

• Plain role words: Bride, Maid of Honor, Matron of Honor, Bridesmaid, Bridesman, Mother of the Bride, Mother of the Groom, Flower Girl, Junior Bridesmaid, Ring Bearer.
• Generic words for the weekend, written in lower case where they are generic, such as a bachelorette party tee, a hens weekend tee, a bridal shower or a morning-after brunch.
• Dates in numerals, and plain place words for the itinerary tee.
• One or two inks, and colour names that describe a colour rather than a product: Sage, Dusty Blue, Terracotta, Black, Blush and Butter for the party, and White, Natural and Black for the bride.

What our designs never use

• Names or logos of sports teams, clothing or beauty brands, bridal shops or wedding planners.
• Names, catchphrases, imagery or ceremonies from television shows. We use “bachelorette” only as an ordinary lower-case word, never as the name of a programme, and we do not use rose-ceremony imagery.
• Artist, tour, album, film or character themes, including the well-known pop tour and doll themes that appear in a lot of bridal merchandise.
• Venue names, resort names, or the logos and slogans of cities, tourism boards and destination brands.
• Lyrics, film quotes or lines from books.
• Slogans of any kind. A Bride Tee piece has a small word and a date, not a joke.

We also leave some phrases out for reasons that are not legal ones. Some buyers have told stores like ours that certain popular bridal phrases feel culturally inappropriate, so our copy says bridal party, team bride or I do crew instead.

5. Personalisation fields: what we print and what we decline

Four of our products have personalisation fields: the Future Mrs Crewneck with Last Name, the Name and Role Crewneck, the Weekend Itinerary Tee with Place and Date, and the Name and Role Tote Bag. The place-card preview beside the fields shows the text exactly as it will print, and the same text is repeated in the cart, at checkout and in your order email. We print exactly what is typed, including spelling, capitals and spacing. No proof is sent before production, so what you see in the preview is what you get.

Because we print what is typed, the fields come with a simple rule: they are for your own names, roles, places and dates. By placing an order, you confirm that you have the right to the text you entered.

How this works in practice

A maid of honor planning a bachelorette weekend in Nashville can type NASHVILLE into the place field, because that is a plain place word. She should not type the name of the bar, the hotel, a festival or a city tourism slogan. A hens weekend in Queenstown can use QUEENSTOWN, not the name of the lodge. A bridesmaid called Taylor can type Taylor as her name, but a crewneck that turns a name into a reference to a famous tour is not something we print. A last name is printed as the bride’s own name; a famous brand typed into the last name field is not.

Please also leave out text that is offensive, that refers to drinking or adult jokes, that includes profanity, or that names another person in a way they would not agree to. That fits the rest of the range: a small word and a date, worn by a whole bridal party including the flower girl and the mother of the groom.

If an order includes text we decline

We do not check every name or spelling before production, and we print what is typed. If text that breaks these rules comes to our attention, we may decline to make that line and will email you about it. You can then change the text within your order, or cancel that line and have it refunded. If you are unsure whether a word is fine, email us before you order and ask. The change window is 24 hours after ordering, so the earlier the better; see Cancel or Change an Order.

6. Respecting other people’s rights

We do not knowingly sell anything that copies another person’s trademark, artwork, design or writing, or that uses someone’s name or likeness without permission. Bride Tee has no affiliation with any wedding brand, venue, planner, television show or designer, and nothing on the site should be read as suggesting otherwise. Where other names appear on the site, for example the name of a country in our shipping information, they belong to their owners and are used only to describe facts.

If we learn that a product may infringe someone’s rights, we look at it promptly, and if the concern is valid we change the design or remove the product.

7. How to report a concern

Email support@bridetee.shop with the subject line “IP concern”. To help us act quickly, include the following.

1. Your name and contact details, and your relationship to the rights owner, for example the owner, an employee or a lawyer.
2. The right you believe is affected, such as a trademark with its registration number and country, a registered design, or a description of your artwork.
3. The full URL of each product or page concerned, with the colour name if the issue is one colourway.
4. A short explanation of why you believe there is a problem.
5. A statement that the information you give is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

For copyright, please use the format on our DMCA page, which lists the elements a copyright notice needs.

8. What happens after you report

Our first reply comes within 24 hours on business days. We then review the product or page you named. If we need more information, such as a registration certificate or a clearer link, we ask before we decide. If the concern is valid, we change or remove the content and tell you what we did. If we believe there is no problem, we explain why and you are welcome to reply.

Customers who already ordered a product we change or remove can still use our normal return rules: returns within 60 days of delivery, refunds sent within 7 days of the return reaching us. Details are in our Refund Policy.

9. If you find our designs copied elsewhere

Copies of small, clean designs turn up on marketplaces quite often. If you see our line-up illustration, our product photos or our role-word layouts on another site, we would be grateful for a link. A copy may look similar in a photo but has nothing to do with our sizes from S to 5XL, our youth sizes, our free shipping or our 60-day returns. If you ordered from a site that is not bridetee.shop, we cannot help with that order, but we can tell you whether it came from us.

10. Ideas and feedback

If you send us an idea, such as a new role word you would like, a colour name for the palette, or a gift for the weekend bag, we may use it without payment or credit. We never publish your name, your bridal party’s names or your wedding date without your permission. How we handle personal details is set out in our Privacy Policy.
