I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here at Anthropologie with my stylist, Elle and this was…read moreprobably my favorite shop for the following reasons: 1. Of all the bridal shops I had been to, I enjoyed the selection at Anthropologie the most. I got to try a variety of styles (beaded, lace, sparkles, simple, a-line, fitted, ballgown, etc.) and narrow down what I like, but I really did like a majority of the dresses I tried on here as opposed to the recommendations or selections I saw at other bridal shops. All of the dresses I tried here I rated 7-9/10 for my personal rating and they all fell within my budget (less than 2k). 2. I loved that I could see their inventory online and indicate ahead of time in the booking form which dresses I wanted to try. These dresses were already on my rack and prepared for me when I arrived. Other shops I had been to gave me time to peruse and look around at the beginning which was nice but it definitely ate into the appointment time. 3. The appointment was free and was 90 minutes long. Sometimes, I felt an hour was too short at other places but here I was able to try on all my pre-selected gowns, peruse the racks more, and try on an extra 4-5 gowns I either missed on the website or were new so weren't listed on the website yet. 4. I enjoyed my stylist's help so much. Elle was very helpful in getting the dresses on and off, clipping the sample down, taking pictures for me as I did not have anyone else with me at my appointment, and suggesting alteration points to make the dresses as close to what I wanted as possible. She was very professional and kind. 5. The availability of the dresses was also a big plus. It sounds like, as long as your size is in stock, it is as simple as ordering online and you can have it arrive within a couple of weeks. They mentioned some styles may be back ordered by a month or so but it's nice to hear that I won't have to wait the 6-8 month timeline for ordering a custom dress through a designer. The only downside I would say is parking. Because this is in the heart of downtown, parking will be difficult. I had a friend drop me off and pick me up for my appointment. Overall, really loved my experience here and would highly recommend stopping by if you like what you see on their website.

COVID review: I was…read moreable to come here by making an appointment weeks in advanced. I was only allowed to bring one guest with me as the BHLDN area is a small section of the Anthropologie store. I did bring one more guest but they had to stay in the Anthropologie section as a "shopper". It was still very easy for my second guest to be part of the experience as I had to walk across the store to the regular dressing rooms to try on my dress, since there was another bride trying on dresses in the actual bridal area. The person that helped me was Sophie and she was super helpful. This was my first place I went shopping for wedding dresses and she provided ample information on each dress I tried on. Since the workers cannot come into the dressing room with you, I had my mom help put the clips on my dress and Sophie was able to provide verbal directions that were helpful. Masks were worn by everyone the entire bridal appointment, but I felt that I was still able to envision the dress and I did try on a veil. For my second appointment I made here, I was able to re-try on the dress with a veil to figure out if I truly liked the dress. During this appointment, I went by myself and Sophie was still able to help me. When I needed help with clipping my dress and placing a veil on, she had a glass fixture on wheels that was used to create space between us. There is a hole in the glass where Sophie put her hands through with gloves to apply clips on my dress and a veil. Overall, I had a great experience at BHLDN and was able to find THE dress here. Their prices are super affordable for wedding dresses and felt of great quality. When you place an order with them, they waive shipping fees also. I'd recommend coming here for wedding dress shopping.

The ladies of Cicada came to this damsel in distress's rescue, let me tell you how!…read more After searching and selecting my wedding dress and doing three fittings I thought I was ready to get married...BUT THEN, a SNAFU! BACKSTORY: We'd been taking months of dance lessons and it occurred to me that my current bustled dress was still far too long and I wouldn't be able to do the choreographed dance for my First Dance . What could an already stressed out bride do? Find another last minute second dress (not ideal) OR call Cicada... well they got me right in to assess the situation and determined we'd bustle me high to the heavens and make this dress work...and in only a few weeks I picked up my dress and sure enough I could dance the night away, HOORAY! I couldn't have made it without the lovely ladies of Cicada, who despite that I'd not had my dress made there, still helped me make my wedding dress ready! Thank you so much!

It was amazing to mix and match a top and bottom from different designs to really fit my own style. The top being from the Kaylin dress, and the bottom being from the Alexis Jumper. Morgan is extremely talented and creative. She was there from my initial trial, and all the touch points up to the big day. She is also very supportive (my hype queen) and helped me feel confident every step of the way. I can't speak highly enough of Cicada Bridal.

Growing up in Seattle, Luly Yang was the first place we went to try on dresses. I was a bit nervous as I usually have a hard time finding dresses that fit perfectly and my mom is super judgmental. Meg and Stephanie greeted us and were so nice and welcoming. We tried on a few dresses and they really set the bar in regards to the fit, material and customer service. We had a few other appointments already set for the week, so I wanted to wait to see those appointments through before deciding and they were so understanding. (We had other studios who really tried to pressure us to purchase day of-even offering discounts). Another plus was there was no fitting fee to try on the dresses - unlike all the other studios we went to. We did end up coming back and getting my dress at Luly Yang. They were amazing through the whole process and they work with you through each step. I loved being able to design my dress and pick out the materials. Luly was also there to help make the dress look perfect and Mei was amazing with alterations. I can't wait to have to another opportunity to work with them in the future!

She truly transformed my experience. My dress went from a beautiful vision to a reality. It was absolutely perfect, everything about it. I learned and felt the love and intention that Luly puts behind each design. My dress became mine and more special when Luly told me what she liked about my dress. She, herself, is so inspiring, a beautiful and authentic, powerful, and strong woman with incredible style. Not only my dress, I loved my veil and each part of my dress- Luly and her team were patient with my particular requests and perfect desires. The shop itself smells amazing! The entire environment from the smell to the beautiful pressed gowns in the windows, the white bridal room, the incredibly sweet team, and the attention to detail would make most people believe that the dresses are out-of-this-world expensive however, I think they are priceless because of how special, intentional and personal the entire experience can be. The last year of relationship with my dress, Fatima, Luly and staff has been 5 stars. If your first experience or interaction is less than I am making it out to be, I recommend giving them another chance, meet Fatima, she will meet all her promises and truly make your experience the best she can. Oh and for kicks, my photographer was Peter Mahar, I posted a couple photos- so you can see this perfect dress that made my wedding dreams come true. Enjoy your experience!

The selection of the dresses is huge and you can view their catalogue online, which was really nice to do in advance. The staff was very friendly. The balance between being able to look and pull dresses on your own, but also receiving help from the stylist pulling their suggestions for you was great. I prefer having the freedom to browse on my own, but the assistance and suggestions were also helpful! She really took the time to listen to my likes and dislikes. Initially, I was SURE I knew what I wanted, after multiple failures and not really liking the way things looked on me, the stylist convinced me to try on basically the opposite of what I *thought* I wanted.... it looked incredible. It was easily the perfect dress- MY dress. Without her, I do not think I would've found it. She was very friendly, fun and knowledgeable. I will recommend this place to anyone I know in the market for a dress. Thank you!

Everything from the professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, and amazing customer service was wonderful to experience, as the other places I went to really fell short in comparison. I was fortunate to find my wedding dress at Christinbridal, and they accommodated all of my needs to make sure my dress is perfect and will arrive on time for my wedding in may 2024. They also made arrangements to set me up with their seamstress who was able to confirm that all alterations I was seeking were possible and they would work together to ensure my dress met my expectations. I specifically want to point out the consultant, Christinna, who helped me find my dress. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and exceeded my expectations with every gown she brought out after I told her only a few details of what I was looking for. I highly recommend this store to go wedding dress shopping, the customer experience was one for the books!

Chrissy was incredibly pleasant to work with, as well: friendly, down to earth, intuitive, a great listener, and highly skilled. If you need a dress made to order (or alterations to an existing dress), you can't go wrong with Wai-Ching Studio! [Side note: her line of existing creations are absolutely amazing: beautifully made, one-of-a-kind, and absolutely fabulous.] Definitely make an appointment with her if you have something special in mind.

The privacy and attention to YOU is a huge bonus that elevates the entire experience.
