Tracy literally held my hand through my "i need to find my dress, like yesterday" crisis as my wedding approached, and sure enough we found my wedding dress and were able to talk through modifications and everything else. Im so happy with how my bridal look turned out and 100% recommended this shop to anyone searching for their wedding dress. The staff was even there for me through my "did i pick the right dress" crisis a few weeks out from my wedding, where they helped me try my dress back on and even a few others... just in case... and helped reassure my decision. Most dresses seemed to be priced from ~$2000-$5000. But i believe they have some lower priced ones and also much more expensive dresses based on the designer and other factors. Pictures from my dress and veil at the shop then from my wedding day.

Nedra and Jenna at Posh were AMAZING. I came here for what was my second bridal try on appointment…read moreanywhere and had the best time. I ended up finding my dress and veil here and getting it preserved through them. Parking is through the other side of the street, away from where the entrance to Posh is. There was a decent variety of options here considering how small the store is. I noted some preferred designers that they happened to have and helped me focus on those areas when I was picking ones to try on. Jenna was the one who assisted for my actual try ons. I opted to go alone so it was nice that she was giving me good feedback without being pushy. She paid attention to what I liked about certain dresses and ultimately recommended a few other dresses that had them. My dress ended up being one Jenna added for me! It was perfect because I was debating between something super classic vs romantic and she knew immediately that she could find me something in the middle. I got alterations done here as well as my veil. Altogether I was able to stay within my budget, though alterations were definitely a bit pricier which I know is common. Monika their seamstress was also great at giving me recommendations on what would look good without me really overthinking it. After my wedding I came back to get my dress preserved. They send it out to a third party but I was glad it was through them so I know I could trust it. I definitely recommend Posh for your bridal needs! Be sure to schedule an appointment and text them. They're incredibly responsive and helpful!

From the beginning, she was…read moreincredibly kind, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right dress, not just selling me one. Maria took the time to really understand how I wanted to feel on my wedding day, my personal style, my venue, and what would work best for my body while still being comfortable and lightweight enough to actually enjoy wearing all day. She even pulled select dresses from the back that weren't on the floor because she knew they fit what I was looking for and were within my budget. What I appreciated most was that there was absolutely no pressure. Maria held my dress for me while I went to FIVE other bridal shops because I wanted to be completely sure I had found the one. After trying on so many other dresses, I came right back to Maria and Bridal Showcase and purchased it! You can really feel how much experience Maria has and how much care she puts into what she does. The quality of the dresses and the level of personal attention, customization, presence, and consideration she gives you is something I just didn't experience at the larger bridal shops. I would recommend Bridal Showcase and especially Maria to anyone shopping for a wedding dress. She made such an important part of the wedding experience feel thoughtful, personal, and special. I'm so grateful I found my dress here!

They had champagne for everyone and it was truly a blast, but slightly overwhelming with so many personality types on my side of things. I recommend this to get the experience, but just want to give a heads up on that. I also had fallen in love with a sample dress that just did not fit my body unfortunately, though Tam & Melody tried their best to see how they might be able to modify it. At the end of the day it was just too much to do to the dress. For my second visit, I tried on a dress that I was initially interested in but didn't have time to try on at my first visit. And... well, this is the one. I tried on a few others as well, and ultimately left thinking about that first one. Melody was so awesome for not pushing me to make a decision, I really hate that feeling. So I was grateful to her for being so patient with me- this is a big decision!! At my final visit, it was just to re-try on MY dress and then one that was super similar to it. And that just locked in my decision! I am sooo happy I found my dress and I am very grateful to Melody for all her help

There's only one large dressing room and there were multiple people waiting to try on so we felt like we had to rush. I'm pretty sure the people behind us left. We found a dress that my daughter liked so she came in to take measurements for her seamstress. Only she didn't really take measurements, she just played with the tape measure and talked about her whole family. We were trying to tell her what may need to be fixed on the dress and she really didn't seem to know what she was talking about. She continued to tell us about her son dying in an automobile accident and something about her husband and how I think it was her sister who adopted a kid and the kid was black and gay and she just couldn't accept that he was gay. Me having a black gay child I took offense to that. The only reason I didn't walk out then was because my daughter really liked this dress and she only had 2 weeks til prom so we just wanted to get measured and get out of there. She said it would be ready in a week. We received no call to let us know if it was gonna be ready or not so we called and she didn't remember which dress it was. Finally she called back and said it would be ready later that day. When we went in to try the dress on it wasn't altered correctly. And she told us that we could take it back to the seamstress. When I told her what was wrong with it and what we had discussed she started to get upset and said we didn't mention that before. I told her just to exit the dressing room so she could change and we could leave. She then got even more upset tore the tie to the corset of my daughter and scratched her back in doing so. She told us to pay the 75 dollars for the alterations and to get out of her store. We left and took it to the ladies at Amaxing Fit tailor who do her alterations and those ladies were excellent. I recommend if you go to Judy's just buy the dress and go strait to her seamstress cause this lady doesn't know what the the hell she's doing and she's rude and prejudice. And she calls herself christian
