The other consultants on the floor were friendly and helpful.

Thanks to Hayley, my sister found the dress of her dreams and the veil to match! Since we're from out of town, Hayley triple checked all the details and made sure we knew the next steps. Most important--they stuck to her budget! Can't wait for my sister's wedding, all thanks to Lace!!

After a day of going blind with wedding dress shopping, my best experience by far was at Blush…read moreBridal. A large part of that experience was my wedding dress consultant, Georgia. Not only did she maximize my in-store experience and help me navigate the very many dress styles, but she took the extra step to text me the next day to see if I had questions or wanted to come back for a follow-up appointment. While I could have technically found this dress anywhere, my experience at Blush Bridal was definitely top notch. The only word of warning I have for brides is to have an approach to tipping in mind before you purchase your dress. I wasn't expecting a tip option to pop up at the time of purchase, and hadn't seen much guidance on dress tipping with my initial research. My surprise turned into immediate anxiety as I had no idea what the industry standard is (and there really isn't one) but I suggest tipping a flat rate rather than percentage (after all, the price of your dress could fluctuate wildly, but ideally the service is the same regardless of that price)--otherwise you might end up well over your budget!

Absolutely insanely bad, and all the dresses had to be taken off the rack and they were all out of season and wore down. I truly can't believe how much better this bridal studio was. We were even allowed to touch the dresses and look at them, whereas at the Queen's lace we weren't even allowed to look or touch them. And, our stylist there didn't care what we wanted. Whereas Chloe took such good care of us. She let us grab them and she pulled good ones too, she catered and took care of us so well. We will be back!!!

I recently went looking for wedding dresses and found this store amongst the Reading Bridal…read moreDistrict shops. For my appointment, I had the last one of the day on a Wednesday and I was the only bride trying on dresses. They had quite a selection of dresses to try on and most were what I was looking for. The bridal stylist I worked with was Brigitta who was very patient and wonderful. She worked with me to understand what I liked in a dress and if I was not liking a feature. She took my opinion into consideration especially when out in front of my family I brought who had loud opinions. Online and from what I found, the dresses were all under $2,000 just as advertised. I unfortunately did not get my dress here but would definitely recommend this shop.

Shoutout Connor for being the best stylist, she truly had MY best interest at heart.

After purchasing six wedding dresses from Bridal & Formal over the years, I never thought I would…read moreleave this review--especially for a business that prides itself on being family-owned and creating special experiences for brides and their families. My daughter tried on a floor sample that fit her, and the exact same size was ordered. When her brand-new gown arrived, it was approximately 1 1/2 inches from closing. She had gained about five pounds, which we never denied, but no one adequately addressed the significant difference in fit between a heavily tried-on floor sample and a brand-new gown. It wasn't our job to know how repeated try-ons might affect the fit of a sample gown. It was their job, as experienced bridal professionals, to account for that and make sure the correct size was ordered--not simply order the same size because the floor sample fit. That is exactly why you rely on professionals when purchasing a wedding gown. General Manager Tina Minshall took my daughter's measurements. When my daughter asked, "Did I go up a size? What are we looking at?" she was told she had "gained an inch and a half in your back area." Her additional questions went largely unanswered, and she was essentially told the gown would have to be altered. The way this was handled was dismissive and insensitive. My daughter left in tears. What should have been a joyful experience trying on her wedding gown with her family instead left her embarrassed and feeling terrible about herself. We never asked for money, a refund or free alterations. I wrote directly to the owners about what happened, hoping simply for an acknowledgment or apology. Weeks later, I have received absolutely no response. After six wedding-dress purchases, our family's loyalty ends here. I have another daughter who will eventually need a wedding gown and several granddaughters behind her. Bridal & Formal will no longer be where our family shops. A dress can be altered. The memory of watching your daughter cry during what should have been a wonderful family moment is much harder to fix.

The whole boutique is dirty and the dressing room smells. 5. The dresses are dirty, stained, ripped and missing elements Overall we felt that the stylist could not care less if we were there or not.

Also, if you're a smaller size, they are not likely to have much for you in general. If you want clean and basic, this is a great option! Unfortunately, I am the opposite and wanted something more unique. I like lace, beading, pearls, and glitter. She brought out of few cute options but they just didn't work for me. The value is there if you can find something you like though. Oh, I will say, I didn't like having to wait outside of the building until they were ready for me. It seemed unnecessary considering I was alone and I saw nobody else inside. (I was cold out there lol)

The business model sounds great, but what you see on Instagram does not match reality…read more The dresses were often looking dirty and worn. As other people have noted, you can't touch or look at any of the dresses so the experience depends on the stylist picking things out. I think this model is weird because the stylist clearly did not understand what I was communicating even though I had pictures and described what I wanted. The worker called me well in advance to ask me about my venue, style of dresses I like, etc. then, on the day I went for the dress, the stylist asked me the same questions again. What was the point of that ten minute call. I also told the lady and the person on the phone I want a certain style of dress. They kept on bringing out random dresses in styles I told them I did not like. After an hour of politely trying on dresses I didn't like, she said she didn't have any dresses in the style I like. If this is the case then I don't know why they didn't just say that and we both could have saved our time. There was not a lot of selection and it also took forever because she was looking for dresses as we met instead of preparing beforehand so there were long pauses. Maybe come here if you want to try on a variety of styles and are okay with long pauses between trying things on. After having to do alterations and dry cleaning the obviously worn dresses, I'm not sure you are saving money by buying a sample dress either. The dresses were not cheap.

Maybe it's my own ignorance thinking a $500 budget for a MOG dress was plenty, but when I arrived…read moreand informed them of my budget, and I was made to feel small. My sales associate informed me that all of their dresses were on average $1,000 or higher. Disclaimer: when I made the apt online I noted my budget was $500, no one ever reached out and informed me this was not appropriate for this store. I was given an incredibly small portion of the "discount" and damaged rack of dresses to try. When I finally found pale blue-green dress that could work (It was $200 and heavily pilled and frayed in the seems). I took a photo and sent it to some friends and my husband. They all said it looked white with blue floral application. I'm the MOG, I can't wear anything remotely white (or photographs white) to this or any wedding. When I told them the feedback and that I couldn't get this dress, they started to pressure me pretty hard. I had my Mom and Aunt with me, they were pressuring to, because they knew that was the last dress that was in budget and could work. I finally had to very firmly say "I can't". I was pretty upset I was being encouraged/pressured to settle on a damaged dress that "could work" (not the feeling I was going for), because it was the last one in my budget. After that, I just got dressed and just left. I left feeling upset, small, and overall embarrassed. Went to David's Bridal right after, had amazing service, tried on so many dresses, and picked one that was half of my $500 budget! Helpful Hint: if someone makes an appt at your store, notates their budget, and if it's not realistic, please notify them. Also, there are no prices online to even gauge what caliber of price and product you have in the store. Even your "Tips" section doesn't elude to $500 being a small budget being it's considered a bridal boutique. "Bridal salons and boutique stores can range from $300-$2,000"-directly from your website. --maybe put a statement the average cost of dresses in your shop (that's not on the damages discount rack).

There might be 40 dresses at most when looking through your sizes. The dresses were expensive and lots of them gave a "trashbag" look. The lady "Barbra" that helped us used the phrase "well now i'm waiting for ur opinion" in a snobby tone, because I had told her before what I had and hadn't liked. This was very upsetting and made everyone in our group feel very insecure. If you've made it this far... go to Carrie Karibo. We were also rushed through the appointment and were only able to try on 8 dresses during the appointment. We went over to carrie karribo and we tried on over 20 dresses.
