I went there with my daughter to look at bridal dresses. They were very rude and told her the dresses she has tried on were the only ones she likes they looked like they have been there for years. After trying on the five dresses, they said wow it looks like you don't really have anything that you like here. Right then and there I knew it was time to go. The salon should really close read more

I first came to Blushing Bride back in June to look at bridesmaids dresses with a group of 6 - boy am I happy I did not read these reviews before coming! We had a fine time looking through the large variety of dresses, trying on TONS. I only wish that the dresses were a little easier to sift through but they have to display them on rounders due to limited space. All of the staff was super helpful in picking out styles we may like and looking to see which dresses came in which colors, etc. We ordered our dresses to arrive in October-ish and off we went. Fast forward to last week when I tried on my dress and realized it didn't zip fully. At first I thought it was Blushing Bride's fault, they measured wrong, etc. etc. After reading reviews I was hesitant to come back for alterations but figured it made most sense since they ordered my dress. I came in today and they were SUPER helpful. Apparently I had measured in between sizes back in June and I opted to go with smaller size (silly me). Amelia was SO helpful in looking at how my dress fit on me, altering it (when I was there) to get it to zip, etc. I walked in earlier today panicking and left relieved. Alteration prices were super affordable and I am going back in a few weeks to grab my dress! read more

Poor customer service and lack of basic empathy during a pandemic. My friend was due to get married this summer, but sadly, we have been hit with a global pandemic. From the start the service rendered was poor as her requests were not heard nor tended to. She tried on a floor model, which at the time was a little too big for her, she advised the rep that she knew she would have a significant weightloss by the time her wedding came around. They insisted on her purchasing this model to avoid having to order a new one. My friend again, asked for a smaller size and they again - insisted that this would be fine and that "it would fit her." My friend was transparent and advised them of her travel plans, as her wedding was set to be overseas. She was set to leave July 7th. Fast forward June of this year, she attempted to reach out via FB and they never replied, then two weeks ago, my friend reached out to them to explain the situation due to the pandemic, and their response was "No refund is available as the dress was already 'ordered'--" which is a lie, because they insisted on a floor model. To make matters worse, and to essentially, free themselves of any further responsibility they immediately shipped the dress in a BOX. The dress arrived CRUMPLED up with not any kind of GARMENT PROTECTION - but FILLER PAPER, it was WRINKLED and, quite frankly - tainted. This is supposed to be a special moment for a bride, this is the dress that my friend was set to wear for the most beautiful day of her life, or so she thought. The Blushing Bride staff was dismissive from the time a smaller size was requested and to seal the deal, they have lacked any kind of empathy or customer service not offering their consumers a reasonable or fair resolution. They have denied my friend a refund or store credit, for a crumpled-up dress that is all too big for her. We are proceeding with submitting a BBB report as well as a Consumer Complaint with the Attorney General's Consumer Advocacy and Response Division of the Commonwealth. Blushing Bride staff should be ASHAMED of themselves. read more

Just a follow-up from my 5/12/16 review.... Before visiting any boutiques, I had extensively researched gown designers and their current and previous season's lines, finding 5 gowns I just HAD to try on. I printed all 5 gowns and excitedly headed out to find my dream dress. Blushing Bride was the second Bridal Boutique I visited looking for my Wedding Dress. I had called to make sure they had my "it" dress in-store, as to not waste the trip from the South Shore. They had the dress! I headed up with my girls (my aunt, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and sister) so they could offer their opinions and make sure I walked out looking fabulous. Well.... My dream dress was VERY different than the pictures online. I was crushed. My consultant Olivia was super positive and asked me what I was looking for in my dress. I told her I wasn't sure but gave her a long list of what I didn't want - satin, large doily lace, too much bling, princess gowns, etc. Olivia let me go through the racks and look at every single dress & gave me markers to tag which dresses I thought I may want to try on. And she let my girls take a peek too & tag some of their own. Trying on dress after dress, I was beginning to feel a bit discouraged. She listed to me critique every gown & ultimately put together a good idea as to what I was looking for. She told me that she was going to bring in a dress for me to try on and not to judge it on the rack or make an opinion before it was on my body... boy, was that difficult! The dress she brought in to the fitting room I had actually vetoed 3 TIMES when my girls had pulled it. Hesitantly and with a zipped lip, I put the dress on, slipped my feet into heels and walked out to the mirror. I was absolutely stunned - it was EXACTLY what I was searching for. Olivia was incredible. She actually listened to me (unlike the last boutique which just "yes'd" me to death.) I couldn't believe it. Once I was "jacked up" with the veil, I knew this dress was it. It was literally right in front of me the whole time - everyone could see it except for me. One little snag, which owner Vicki corrected straight away. The veil Olivia showed me which PERFECTLY matched the lace in my dress ended up being discontinued when I got to the register. Vicki offered to lower the price, but the veil was white (the dress was ivory) and the netting had some holes in it. She offered to make me a brand new veil - cutting off the lace and putting it on new netting and then dipping the veil so the hue matched my dress and still offering me the lower price. Talk about going above and beyond for your customer! I went back a few weeks later to look at Bridesmaid Dresses. Again, I went online and looked at every vendor Blushing Bride carried and fell in love with Bill Levkoff. I had one dress in particular I was looking at, which was the first one the girls tried on. And it was perfect. The most painless boutique visit ever. My consultant suggested the girls try on a few more, just to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. I'm glad she suggested it because it helped solidify my decision and I had no second-thoughts for the rest of my wedding planning. I also had my alterations done at Blushing Bride with Amelia. I met with her three times for my fittings and every time she was patient, listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. She did such a wonderful job working with me on my bustle and showed me two different options, working to make sure I was satisfied with the end result. Amelia even dealt beautifully with my OCD, looking the dress over inch-by-inch when I picked it up. (Sorry, again!) I would say, overall, that Blushing Bride was probably the best bridal boutique I could have chosen. Not only did they find the dream dress I didn't know I wanted, but they fit it to me like a glove and were professional, kind and eager to make sure my dress shopping experience exceeded my expectations. And it did. 5 stars, ladies. Thank you so much. read more

Rude. Unprofessional. If I could leave no stars I would because they don't deserve a single one. One of my friends was due to get married this summer but her wedding has been postponed due to the PANDEMIC. They sent her wedding DRESS in a BOX to her house, made her buy a dress in a model that she knew wasn't going to fit her because she was losing weight and that's just the start of it. Save yourself time, stress and I'm sure there's better wedding dresses out their than this trash place. read more

If I could I wouldn't give any stars. The customer service is horrible, they handled the covid pandemic poorly and they hang up in my face every time I try to get a point across . The owners I'm assuming are extremely disrespectful and ignorant Vicky especially. I would not shop here if I were you, and if you read the past reviews you'd agree. I understand the pandemic was unplanned for, but hanging up in a paying customers face is uncalled for and unprofessional. Put it this way, I'm a bridesmaid and the brides dress was sent in a box to her house because they, "ran out of space". DO NOT SHOP HERE read more

I ordered a dress from Blushing Bride for my sons wedding date of October 16, 2021. The dress came in in mid-September. After numerous visits to the shop, Vickie and the seamstress, Linda, continued to lie to me. They told me it fit when it was clearly two sizes too big! After telling me it was fine, Linda pinned it to take it in 8 inches! (What happened to fine?) When I asked about the top of the dress, Linda told me I needed a new bra! I asked, "what bra do you recommend?" She said a Wacoal...I had on a brand new Wacoal bra! Clearly, a professional seamstress should know that the bust inserts in the dress can be removed and replaced with smaller ones! In the end, after investing close to $700.00 in the dress and alterations, I refused to give them another dime! Save yourself a lot of time, money and dealing with people who care only about making a buck, and nothing about the customer! I went to David's Bridal and walked out with a gorgeous dress and shoes that fit perfectly! This shop is a Sham! Shame on them! read more

Thanks to Vicki, Amelia, and the rest of the staff who helped me along the way I felt like the most beautiful bride in the most perfect dress for me on my wedding day last weekend. From the moment I went to the store the girls helping me choose a dress were very honest in their opinions, up front about alteration options. While some may feel that they are "pushy", I think that they're simply very good at what they do. Every dress I tried on looked pretty good, and I got the constant "Do you like Dress B better than Dress A?" and if the answer was yes then we kept it and if not we put it away. This is something I needed because otherwise I could have never made a decision on which dress was right for me. I also purchased my dress about 3 sizes too large as it was off the rack and less expensive than what it normally would have been and was assured that the alterations could be made to fit me appropriately. I was nervouse after reading some of the reviews. Vicki essentially talked me down and I couldn't be more appreciative of her patience with me, and nonjudgement during this event. Amelia did wonderful alterations and I only had to do 2 fittings (the initial and the first follow up to that) she did such a perfect job. Again, I couldn't be more thankful for that. On the day of my wedding I kept receiving compliments of how perfect the dress suited me, and I really couldn't have imagined myself in any other gown. For a pretty big Maggie Sottero gown I was able to dance comfortably in it all night, and the bustle was solid as anything. To top this off, I bought my dress off the rack a year and a half before the wedding, and without any fuss they held onto the gown for me safely as I didn't have anywhere to store it. So thoughtful and helpful. I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants an honest opinion, solid seamstress work, and a group of women who can talk you off a ledge (if you need it). Blushing Bride will help you to feel like the beautiful bride that you should be on your big day. read more

I wanted to give this place a shot despite the negative reviews, but I spent 10 minutes in the store before I walked out. With six months until my wedding, I was told I would have to pick something off the rack because there was no way they could get me a dress in time. There was one dress I loved, but the consultant actually took it from my hands and said 'You can't have this one' in a condescending tone. Needless to say, their sales and customer service skills are dismal. The staff should take some advice from the reviews they've gotten. Later in the day I had a wonderful experience at a store in Newburyport. And I happily bought a dress! read more

Avoid this shop. They are unprofessional and yes rude. It was a HORRIBLE experience for me at a time when your already stressed as the Mother of the Groom. I was told to buy a larger size dress then hit with a HUGE alterations bill. If you do buy a dress there stay away from the seamstress. She is so unprofessional, rude and not sure she knows her stuff. Many things wrong. One she had no clue what to do. My dress had designs on it and when she shortened it forgot to secure design. Some came loose at the Wedding. Thank god it was the bottom. I wish I never stepped in this Shop! read more

Horrible HORRIBLE customer service. They really need to take a class in customer service and human decency because last time I checked, telling people they need to "hit them gym" because THEY SIZED THE WHOLE BRIDAL PARTIES DRESSES TOO SMALL isn't acceptable by any means. They didn't even take responsibility for it. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

A friend of mine is apart of a bridal party that went to blushing bride for their brides maid dresses and was met with extreme informality when it came to the sizing. There are 7 girls total and and 5 out of 7 already picked their dresses up and noticed that the sizing was too small. When they individually brought the problem to the employees attention they were told to "hit the gym". Not only is that extremely unprofessional but also Incredibly inconsiderate, considering that it's their job to make sure the customer is completely satisfied. I do not recommend doing business at this establishment and would look elsewhere for your bridal party needs. read more

Very unprofessional and rude staff. Will not be ordering from this bridal shop. Work on your customer service skills, you have now lost your 2nd sale in a row just from 2 separate weddings I have been a part of in the past 2 years. Good luck in the future I hope that you can learn and grow from this. read more

Out of all vendors I dealt with for my wedding, Blushing Bride caused me the most aggravation. Blushing Bride ordered the wrong bridesmaid dress. Their owner Vicky would not take responsibility for ordering the wrong dress and kept telling me the dress received was the one they ordered. Most of the dresses came in a month before the the wedding. Vicky told me there was no way they would be able to get the right dress shipped in time for the wedding. I find it hard to believe they couldn't rectify their mistake with a rushed order with over a month to spare. Unwillingly, Vicky told me she would have the seamstress alter the dress to my liking. This wasn't ideal, since the style had cups in the bust for a 7 year-old. When I arrived to pick up my wedding dress the day before my wedding, they were STILL sewing the dress. They closed the door to the sewing room and I sat waiting an hour for my dress to be sewed and altered. After 4 fittings, over 8 months of them holding onto the dress, and an outrageous cost of $500 for alterations, the dress should have been ready for pick-up. This caused me to be late for all of my additional appointments the day before my wedding. I will say that Adrienne was very helpful, and their seamstress Valerie was lovely and very talented. However, there are many other bridal shops and boutiques that are worthy of your business and precious wedding money. read more

Went here before the pandemic to look for bridesmaid dresses and returned recently with my mother to give this place another try. Not worth your time or money. The workers were rude both times I went there and complained about customers the second they'd leave. Disgusting. read more

I just bought my wedding dress here last weekend and I'm SO excited!! The girl that I worked with (and I can't remember her name) was super helpful in helping me figure out exactly what I was looking for. She pulled some recommendations, listened to my mom and sister as they critiqued each dress, and was really engaging and fun to talk to. It was a very intimate and excting experience, and I am so happy to have this item checked off my to-do list ;) I can't wait to come back for my bridesmaids and for my mom to shop around - their selection is HUGE. PS - the owner also told me that they do bridal dress restoration, so if you are looking for a place to bring your dress post-wedding (you don't have to have bought it there) I plan on coming back next year to have them do it - there was another girl picking one up as we were leaving and we got to see it all packaged up: very cool! read more

HORRIBLE customer service. This is the type of place that cares about their commission, not you ladies, DONT shop here unless you want to add more stress to your wedding planning read more

Such wonderful and amazing service!! We just left another bridal boutique that we were not empressed with. We knew the dress we wanted and without an appointment (but you should make one) made us feel so wonderful!! The owner is AMAZING and made you feel right at home!! Bought my dream dress!! I would suggest this shop to everyone!! read more

Blushing Bride - My dress!! - Bridal Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

Please brides to be do not shop here if you want your dress shopping to be a good experience. Purchased a FLOOR MODEL DRESS because they said it fit although I wanted to order a size down because I've had gastric sleeve surgery. So those that know the process know how much weight you can loose and quick. They told me that the size I tried on is fine and they can alter and didn't recommend a smaller size even though that's what I wanted. Fast forward. My departure date for my wedding was July 7th so that's when the dress was supposed to be picked up. I called them a few days before and asking about refund policy and if they can give me some time beige I can pick it up. Literally they next day there was a box outside my house with a wrinkled wedding dress that costs a good amount of money. Obviously anyone would be upset. It's clearly damaged. I called they said they can "steam" and weren't even apologetic. Today I called asking if I can drop it off and pick it up tomorrow because I had a tight schedule and it was there fault that I had to even go through this. Long story short Vicky hung up on me plenty of times and refused to be of any help. I could keep telling you why not to shop here but I think you get the point. Save your money for a better bridal shop. Trust me you'll save yourself a lot of stress. read more

UPDATE : The morning of my wedding day we ran into another disaster with one of the bridesmaids dresses. One of my bridesmaids straps had been sewn on twisted.. not a huge deal but mildly annoying. We then realized that the criss-crossed straps in the back were sewn at different lengths, and therefore would not snap in. Thankfully, my grandmother had brought a sewing kit and we were able to sew the strap in place so the dress could be worn. Talk about stress, sewing a bridesmaid dress literally minutes before the ceremony was about to start! It gets worse... immediately after introductions, the strap which was sewn on twisted, snapped off the dress. The stitching was frayed and clearly was not done with care, my bridesmaid hadn't even started dancing yet when this happened. So please, stay away from Blushing Bride, especially for alterations!!! read more

No stars , no good customer service what so ever , i have been to the store once and the staff are very rude and i couldn't even stay in the store , because i wasn't comfortable, then it comes to my friend she gave a shot and got a dress , during this whole covid 19 , the store should consider helping out brides (their customers) my friends dress was sent a box , all wrinkled up without even a notice that it was going to be sent , she tried to get a size down because it fits big , and they gave her hard time and denied it , that is not okay , because the dress is new , not worn it was sent just a couple days ago , she wasn't asking for a return but for the dress to fit the way she would want it just like any other bride would want her dress to feel good and comfortable in, its very sad to see that they didn't even try to find solutions or some sort of way to be helpful to the bride , no empathy. read more

We really loved our experience here. They were so friendly and accommodating, they helped us find so many beautiful dresses to try on (there are 6 of us bridesmaids and we all have different body types) Nicole especially was such a beautiful person. I normally hate dress shopping because I'm very insecure about my body and I can never find anything that fits right but she quickly helped me find a dress that worked for me and she was just so empathetic and helpful. They really know what works for different body types and they made the whole experience so much better. The bride also picked out her dress here and she looked absolutely amazing! I just can't wait for all the awesome pictures we'll take and all the amazing memories we'll make in our beautiful dresses! read more

Blushing Bride was an amazing experience for my entire family. The owner and seamstress were both amazing and I was able to find a one of a kind wedding dress that I am completely in love with. Blushing Bride is the first and last place I looked for a wedding dress. The owner and seamstress devoted all their attention to my family and truly made it a wonderful experience. I will be bringing my bridal party to Blushing Bride to choose dresses for my wedding. Everyone was extremely professional and most importantly listened to the bride to be! I am so glad I chose to look at Blushing Bride and will be recommending them to my family and friends. read more

After searching multiple places for a dress I came to Blushing Bride. They went above and beyond to help me. They knew my taste and what I would look good in. They had honest opinions on how the dresses looked and I appreciated that as I didn't hold back on my opinions either. As soon as I tried on my dress I instantly new it was the one! I cannot thank you ladies enough you really know what you are doing! I want to wear it every day!! read more

My really good friend who decided to get married on the fly had a budget of only 200$. If it were not for vicki and her huge heart to help, we would not have an amazing wedding dress!!!

Just called to inquire about bridesmaid dresses. The lady answering seemed pretty unaware of the inventory and when I asked if they offered a discount for 9 bridesmaids she replied "I don't know- I just work here". Yes, yes I know you do- that's why I asked. Needless to say I will not be buying here. read more

I found my dress at Blushing Bride after visiting several other bridal stores. My mom and I were the only ones in the store and Vicki was very attentive and took the time to pull a bunch of dresses for me. Blushing Bride carries Maggie Sorretto and Rebecca Ingram. There dresses are very reasonably price. I found a beautiful dress for under $1,500. I felt really comfortable in the store. There was a large dressing rooms and mirrors with areas for guests to sit. They also had a large selection of bridesmaids dresses. read more

My mother and I had a wonderful experience here last week while looking for a mother of the bride dress for her. The ladies were so helpful. They listened to what my mother wanted- and more importantly, didn't want. They pulled out dresses that met her exact vision. She ended up buying the first dress she even tried on! She went through a variety of dresses before going back and picking "the" one, but the ladies were beyond helpful and weren't the least bit pushy (where we have found most other places to be). We had a blast. It was such a great experience to share with my mother during this special time. I highly recommend Blushing Bride!! read more

Blushing Bride has been nothing short of disappointing through the Coronavirus. My friend purchased a dress from the floor for her wedding happening this month (which was canceled due to COVID-19), when she tried to get a refund for the dress they refused and because the dress was "ordered" - when in fact it was a dress that was on the floor already. They then shipped the dress in A BOX just to make the return IMPOSSIBLE. My friend tried to get a copy of this supposed contract where "all sales are final" but the sales rep refused!! They hung up the phone on her multiple times. They have no sense of good customer service or what having empathy entails. This is a BRIDE who has had to CANCEL her wedding because of a PANDEMIC!! Something completely OUT OF HER CONTROL. If that so called contract exists then I'm sure something like a PANDEMIC would be an exception!! They don't have the decency to talk to my friend and reason with her or compromise! Let's not forget about how the sales rep who kept hanging up the phone on my friend kept pronouncing her name completely wrong, even after being corrected - multiple times! She was being completely condescending. Please don't buy your wedding dress here!! Save yourself the stressss!!!! If I could leave 0 stars I would. read more

If I could give Zero stars I would. Skip this place and go across the street. I purchased a gown here under pressure after being told it would takes months to get a gown if I didnt get it that day. I have seen the same gown online from the manufacturer for 50 dollars cheaper. Biggest waste of money. Thank God I purchased a gown for my sons wedding that I LOVE. read more

We will be in touch. Liz will be call you. Soon so special. Dress. Love it so much thanks sweet vickey. Blushing bride mom Christine. S

I wish there was an option to leave zero stars! So, my daughter bought all of her bridesmaids dresses there. The women who work there are totally out of line & rude! One bridesmaid had just had a baby, 5 months before, and the woman sizing her asked if she just had a baby and told her that she was going to "size her dress down" for "motivation." When another bridesmaid went back to try on her "custom sized" dress, it didn't fit and she was was told to "hit the gym." Of all of the seven bridesmaids' dresses, NONE of them fit! In addition, if u go there, make sure you you get to have your measurements taken by the blonde woman who works there. Clearly she doesn't know how to read a measuring tape. Now ALL the bridesmaids need to spend MORE money to have unnecessary alterations. Thankfully there are other venues, who are actually reputable, that they can go to. So, if you want to add just a little more stress to your planning and be FAT SHAMED, but all means, do business with Blushing Bride. You won't be disappointed. read more

The bride brought us bridesmaids here because her mom had a wondeful experience with the staff getting her dress for the wedding. My experience was easily the polar opposite of that. I apologize for the length of this review, but I've been seething since I got my dress 3 weeks ago and wanted to give them a shot before giving them 1 star. Clearly, they didn't use that shot well. When the 4 maids, bride, mother of the bride, and aunt (mother of 2 of the bridesmaids) arrived, it was cramped. The selection is great, but there isn't nearly enough room to move around. All of the dresses they had us try were size 12, when the MOH and myself are very easily NOT 12s or 14s. Because of this I trusted the staff for my sizing and ordered the size dress they recommended (a 22 for me, a 20 for the MOH. I wear size 12 jeans, she wears a size 8). When the dress arrived 5 months later and I tried it on, it was FAR too large. It didn't touch my body anywhere and seemed hopeless for altering. The MOH ignored their staff and ordered a size smaller and hers fit like a glove, which led me to understand that their staff doesn't know how to properly measure or size dresses. After explaining this to them, they had me come in to try on the dress and prove to them that it was too large. I live in Wisconsin and luckily was here this weekend planning my own wedding, so I was able to accommodate. I walked in and was not-very-nicely greeted and taken to a dressing room. I put the dress on and came out of the room to an empty space where my mom and I waited a few minutes before anyone came back. They clipped me up and explained that the dress was somehow only one size too big and tried to get me to say I lost weight when I haven't. They began to push alterations on me saying that returning it or ordering a new size just wasn't possible. They refused to admit that it was too big, and kept assuring me that they followed the designers sizing based on my measurements. I explained how the MOH ordered a size smaller than they recommended and hers fit fine, but they tried to tell me that she must have lost weight or just had some other magic factors for that reasoning. I told them that if they weren't going to give me a significant cost savings on the alterations that it would be easier for me to just bring the dress home to Wisconsin, but instead of listening the owner tried to sell me a pair of shoes and continue with measurements for an alteration! I finally told them that I don't want the shoes (which were ugly anyway) and would rather get it altered by someone I trust than get "standard" prices from them and have to fly back and forth. I left very grumpy with a $350 dress that doesn't fit and will now easily cost me up to $500 total when it's all said and done. The staff at Blushing Bride has no concept of customer service. They are all rude and harsh with cold attitudes. I understand that bridesmaids dresses are a tricky business, but that's no excuse for leaving girls out to dry when the staff makes mistakes. If you're willing to pay for an overpriced dress that won't fit while they try to sell you shoes and cheap jewelry, then this is your place. Otherwise, go anywhere else. Please, save your bridesmaids, bride, and mom st he trouble and take them somewhere else. read more

i went to Blushing Bride with a certain designer dress that was showed on website. There was nothing even close to the dresses on their website for Mother of Bride. The woman that helped me was rude and demeaning. I picked out a few dresses that I thought I would like and she pulled them out of my hand and said "This is ugly!" Really? You need to work on your unprofessional staff! I would not recommend your store to anyone. You lost and good sale and from your reviews I see you have lost many for the same reason. rude! rude! rude! Total waist of the drive. And by the way lady, I thought the outfit you had on was just as ugly as your personality! If you want a good experience .....avoid this place! read more

Do yourself a favor - SKIP THIS PLACE! There's a reason that out of the 14 reviews posted here only 4 are favorable. The staff are pushy, not friendly and can't properly measure. I'd be afraid to have alterations done here as well. read more

HORRIBLE/RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I would not recommend Blushing Bride to anyone, ever. I ordered a bridesmaid dress and a flower girl dress from here (at the bride's request). I normally wear a size 14, so when I was measured for my dress at a size 18, I didn't question it, thinking the dresses must run small. After spending over $500 on the 2 dresses they arrived. The flower girl dress had a tie at the neck that was frayed with all of the stitching coming out. The shop owner and seamstress tried to tell me that "it just needed to be pressed out". I held firm and insisted that it be repaired. My dress was gigantic on me! The bridesmaid dress had a series of pin holes through the sheer fabric and again I was told "This is how the fabric is, it just needs to be pressed out." After reading some of the other YELP reviews, I am not surprised to hear that others ordered dresses from here that were too large for them. As this was clearly evident in their lack of interest and rudeness once I informed them that I would not be having any of my alterations done at their shop. I left both dresses with them for repair. After not hearing anything for 4 weeks, I called the shop and was told that they left a message for me weeks ago that they were ready. I never received any message and they told me well we left a message for "someone". I returned to the shop to retrieve the dresses which were paid for in full. The flower girl dress was repaired, but the bridesmaid dress now had a pull in the fabric. In dealing with the shop owner, Vicki, I was told by her that I should "get my eyes checked" because she didn't see anything and that the dress was in perfect condition by her standards. When I explained to her that it was not up to my standards, she angrily told me to "take it up with the bride" and stormed off with my dress. I might add that all of this happens at the entrance to the shop because they do not have a private space to look at gowns, in fact when I was measured it was in front of the glass doors at the entrance to the shop, I should have known then that I was dealing with 0% professionalism. She then called the bride (seriously, who does that), and told her that I am "banned" from the shop and someone else will need to come collect my dress. So I now am the proud owner of a dress with defects in it that needs MANY alterations. The complete and total disrespect for their customers is evident, I am shocked that they still have any customers. If I could give them ZERO stars I would. So please avoid the hassle and avoid this shop at all costs! read more

I was very underwhelmed with my experience at Blushing Bride. First of all, the store is cramped, which made it difficult to get around and see the dresses. The service left a lot to be desired, too. Our sales associate was kind to get chairs for my mom and bridesmaids while I tried on dresses, but that's where the pleasantries ended. She never asked about my wedding, venue, budget, nor did she seem to care who I was or who I brought with me. I tried to force some friendly conversation, but she was not having it. There were some lovely dresses that I tried on, but we ended up leaving empty handed. I wanted to have fun and enjoy the experience, but the sales associate made it painful and depressing. We ended up at a store across the street where they were excited to work with us and listened to what we were looking for! read more

I had a very mixed experience at The Blushing Bride. I took my sisters and my mother with me to look for gowns and ended up getting my dress, the bridesmaid dresses and my mothers dress all there. It was the first bridal shop i went to and felt attended to. the selection was great for brides, bridesmaids and mother of the bride dresses. My only issue was that while trying on dresses the shop owner Vicky was pushing accessories and veils. I ended up going with one of the veils she put on because it was beautiful and matched my gown perfectly. Once she put it on my sister and mother vocalized how much it complemented the dress. I should mention that the dress color is a champagne gold-ish color and the veils color just seemed to match perfectly. The price was high.. way higher than i ever thought I would pay for a veil.. but IMPULSIVELY I bought it.. Once the dress and veil came in, and I went for my first fitting we pulled the veil and my mom, sisters and I had the same reaction.. eeewww.. that is not the right veil, the color was very off and it looked nothing like we had remembered . It looked nothing like the veil I remembered putting on. We brought it back to the bridal shop where I was told that this was the veil I had ordered, and they would not allow returns. Final sale is final sale, I get it. But I was hoping that with all the money spent on all the dresses for the wedding that they could be a little accommodating.. which they were not. this would have been a much different review if they were more accommodating. Be mindful of the emotional experience of buying dresses, I feel a little like they used the opportunity to sell. I don't know what to say about the veil looking VERY different than the one I tried on.. maybe take a picture.. I wish i did. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Vicky and her establishment are terrible! This place is a joke. We purchased a jumpsuit for my wedding and they had me try on a belt that I was basically forced into purchasing. I never really got a chance to look at it before it was shoved into a bag. I know now why, as it is clearly completely damaged. When I took it out to look at it at home I noticed that many of the stones were missing. This belt was $300.00, first of all I had no idea how much it was until it looked at the receipt. Second, they were clearly trying to sneak one by me selling me this piece of garbage at this price and it worked. I felt embarrassed at the time and just figured I could use it. When my daughter and I returned back to the store to pick up my jumpsuit I brought the belt to return as it was completely damaged. I knew they didn't allow for returns but figured they would do the right thing since they sold me a floor model, damaged belt. Well, I was wrong. Vicky wasn't in so my daughter spoke with another girl who said I would have to call back to speak with Vicky about it later that week. We left the belt at the store since it was about a 3 hour trip from home and didn't want to have to drive back. When my daughter called to discuss there was no discussing... She (Vicky) would not allow for a return and blamed the destroyed belt on me. She said we could have a store credit but that doesn't really help us and that's not the point... Long story short I wouldn't work with Vicky, she clearly doesn't know when to do the right thing. Customer service is at an all time low at Blushing Bride... read more
