My beautiful baby sister is getting married next July and wanted a magical Say Yes To The Dress…read moreexperience to find her wedding dress. Her amazing fiancé booked The Wedding Studio's VIP experience with custom touches and help from the owner herself, Adrienne. Without giving too much away on the specific personalized touches Adrienne and her team gave my sister, my sis had the most amazing experience here and as part of her bridal team, I was wowed myself! The dresses are gorgeous, diverse, and reasonably priced. The exterior AND interior of the studio was decorated perfectly, with flowers everywhere. And the VIP experience is 10000% worth the price!! My sister and the whole Bridal crew were crying happy tears by the end. Adrienne really made us all feel like a part of her family. I will absolutely be coming here for my own wedding dress shopping experience in a couple years... and I don't even live in the Indy area! And yes, my sister Said Yes To The Dress!!!

Found my wedding dress here a few weeks ago!…read more I was here two years ago as a MOH for my friend, who also got her dress here. Anna was our stylist at that time and was great to work with. When looking for my own dress this year, I knew I wanted to get an appointment here. We requested Anna as well, but she had moved to a manager role. Alyce was my stylist and a fellow bride herself and we bonded over wedding planning things. Anna made sure to stop in and say hello as well since she wasn't my stylist that day which was so kind! I was able to find my whole bridal look here while staying under budget!

Young is price gouging brides, plain and simple, and the entire environment is designed to trap you. My first appointment was a nightmare. While my stylist, Maddie, seemed nice enough, the owner, Young, is a total nightmare. She kept ripping back the curtain while I was half-naked to give blunt opinions on my body and pull dresses that were nothing like what I wanted. It's a vulnerable thing to change in front of a stranger, and she made me feel completely insecure. They also have a weird "rule" where you can't pull more than five dresses so you don't get "confused." I've been to eight other shops, and none of them have this rule. It's clearly just a tactic to force a quick sale. When I found a dress I liked, Young pulled out all the stops to force a "yes," making me shut my eyes while she grabbed a veil and flowers. When I said I wanted to think about it, she basically asked, "What's there to think about?" and pressured me into calling my mom right then and there. I later found out a friend had the exact same experience; it was her first time shopping and she was also convinced to buy a dress she didn't want because of their intense pressure. Her experience with their alterations was even worse. They charged her $1,100 just for a hem and convinced her if she took it elsewhere it would be messed up. During her reception gown fitting, she knew she had gained 15 lbs, yet the dress zipped right up. The stylist looked visibly nervous and told her to just claim she "lost weight" and leave with the dress. I'm still kicking myself for going back, but I was hitting major dress fatigue. Young was even more involved the second time and guilted me by saying she "didn't charge me" for the second appointment fee. When my friend and I said we didn't like a gown, they just piled on accessories--pearls, sleeves, and a veil--to "blind" me to the fact that the dress itself wasn't right. They never disclosed the prices of these extras until the register. I was filled with so much anxiety from Young telling me I wouldn't have a dress in time that I just swiped my card. My wedding was almost 10 months away at this point. Once they have your money, they do not care. When I realized I'd made a mistake, I offered to pay a restocking fee or exchange my brand-new gown for a floor sample, but they refused to help. Their only "solution" was to offer to help me find a different dress in their store; essentially asking me to spend even more money with them. They hide behind the "custom order" label, but you're just ordering from a catalog of sizes. I found my new dress at Sophia's and the experience was 10x better. They listened, never pressured me, and let me go home to think about it without charging me for appointments. That is how it should feel! If you look at other one-star reviews, you'll see that Young's standard response is to bash the bride and claim they are lying, pulling up "notes" to try and paint herself as the victim. This is a classic case of gaslighting. She attempts to manipulate the narrative to make the bride question her own experience and memory of the events. It is a defensive tactic used to avoid accountability for the high-pressure, toxic environment she has created for not just brides, but her employees and past employees as well. I left the shop crying with a dress that isn't me. Save your money and your sanity--go anywhere else! I've been to Nancy's, The Wedding Studio, The Finery, Hailey Nicole, Vows, and Alexandra's. They were all vastly better experiences!

I had several of my girls with me and they were accommodating about my larger group, and receptive to all of the feedback coming from a variety of directions. In terms of my dress selection, I got the dress I wanted by the designer I wanted (Essence of Australia) for the price that I wanted. My dress was a sample dress and honestly fit almost perfectly. I was so grateful this was such an amazing experience. An added bonus was once I found my dress, they let me try on accessories and hold a sample bouquet so I had a better sense of what I would look like on my big day. I not only got my dress, but also a stunning veil. I cannot recommend this bridal shop enough. Between the friendly and attentive staff and the gorgeous location that felt trendy yet homey, this was the best experience I had looking at dresses and helped me say "Yes" to the dress.

We got to our visit and we had to wait in the little room for like 10 minutes for the other appointment to finish up; that was fine. Once it was our turn, we got to utilize the main big room, which was great! We were able to bring in our own drinks, so we danced around and had some beverages. Our consultant did a wonderful job listening and pulling all the options she could. I tried them all on, then a couple on a second time, and realized I found my dress. Yay! They even gave us a discount out of the blue. Yay! The sizing, ordering, paying (2 installments) and pick up/try on were easy. I felt like a beautiful bride and princess during the experience and in my wedding gown! I would recommend Blue House Bridal.

With her I figure out I liked modern elegant shapes that complimented my body, and omg were her selections serving body! (I've included photos of the runner up dress.) She was so sweet and patient and even wanted to see pics of the dress I eventually chose.

Leila was recommended to me by a mutual friend, and the custom outfit she made for me for 2019's Diner en Blanc Indianapolis event (pictured) was fabulous! As it was my first time having anything custom designed for me -- not even my wedding dress was custom! -- I wasn't sure how the process would go or what look I even wanted. Throughout our multiple sessions, from brainstorming to mockup to final piece, Leila often could tell by my body language if something about our work-in-progress just wasn't 100% right yet and would work with me until it met my (and her) expectations. She's great at communication and was eager to help me understand different fabrics, how they feel and how much they cost so I could get an outfit within my price range. She also listened to my wishlist and made the outfit in 2 pieces so I could get more mileage out of it later. Because my custom outfit experience was great, I also ran to Leila with a bridesmaid dress alterations job only a few weeks before I needed to leave for my friend's wedding in Cancun. She made time for it, and the off-the-rack dress ended up fitting perfectly!

Hands down the BEST bridal boutique experience!…read more I've been to Nancy's Bridal Boutique about three different times while searching for my wedding dress, and every single visit has been nothing short of amazing. Scheduling an appointment is super quick and easy, which already sets the tone for a great experience. I worked with Annie, and let me just say... she is a GEM. She seriously feels like a best friend you've known forever -- bubbly, kind, and just so easy to talk to. She's incredible at her job. Not pushy at ALL, but somehow understands exactly what you want even before you fully know how to explain it. She listened to everything I liked and didn't like, and within the first four dresses, she found my dress. Like... who does that?! She nailed it. One thing I loved most is how willing they are to work with you to make sure your dress feels perfectly "you." They'll mix and match details from different gowns, try out accessories, and help piece together ideas until it feels right. They truly want your dress to be something you absolutely love -- not just something they can sell. They care deeply about your happiness, confidence, and how you feel on your wedding day, and that shows in everything they do. Nancy's has such a beautiful variety of gowns -- literally not a single ugly dress in the place. Everything is high-quality, elegant, and unique. The whole boutique has this warm, welcoming "home" feeling, and the entire staff is so kind. I truly felt blessed to have found this place. And honestly? For the quality and service you get, the prices are really reasonable compared to many other bridal stores. I've actually never written a review before, but I felt like I had to after having such an amazing experience here. I could not recommend Nancy's Bridal Boutique more. It was perfect, and I'm so grateful I said yes to the dress!

I did not have a good experience at Bella bridesmaids - they were extremely pushy and the whole…read morething felt so rushed. I brought three of my friends with me to start trying on dresses and get a general idea of what color pallet I want for my wedding. We were assisted by a woman who did not introduce herself , and I explained to her that I wanted to do mismatched shades of rust/terracota and allow for my bridesmaids to pick dress styles within those guidelines that they love and feel comfortable in. We began the appointment trying to nail down the exact color pallet and fabric textures. I tried to explain that I don't exactly know what colors I want but I want my friends to find dresses they like, which could dictate what final colors we end up with. The woman helping us did not allow us to start looking at dresses on our own until we had our colors set. She kept asking me what color I wanted to "put each girl in" which rubbed me the wrong way because I tried to make it clear that my main goal is for my friends to feel comfortable and beautiful while still looking cohesive. We also were continuously made to feel stupid for not knowing exactly what the fabrics were called or what the colors were. Once we decided on colors, my friends were able to start looking at styles. Because now they were constrained by colors, their options were very limited. Each person was also not allowed to stray from their "assigned color" even though this appointment was meant to be an initial design consultation and getting a feel for dresses. Some colors had only 1 or 2 dress options in the store to try. The whole time it felt like they were just trying to make an immediate sale and didn't care about how our experience was going. Granted, our appointment was 4:30-5:30pm on a Friday, but the whole time it felt like we were being rushed out of the store. If they do not want to see customers on Friday evenings they should not make appointments at this time. The last major issue is the "size inclusivity" that Bella seems to preach. The friends I brought with me had a hard time finding dresses that they could actually try on because most of the dresses on the rack were very small sizes. My friends are not "plus size" but were just looking for slightly larger sizes than were available. They claim to have dresses in size 0-32, but there were hardly any dresses in larger sizes that we could try on. Overall, this experience was terrible and my friends and I left the store feeling disheartened and frustrated. The next day we went to David's bridal and had a much better experience. While the dresses at Bella were pretty, the customer service did not make it worth it.
