I was so disappointed with my experience at GLL today. I called about a week ago to make my…read moreappointment, and was told that I could pick from the entire inventory if I came in within the next two weeks. So I made my appointment for a week out and was so excited, I had a list of dresses that were all in stock for me to pick from, that I confirmed on the phone with GLL. When I started my appointment I was immediately told that I needed to pick from the "ready to wear" selection because my wedding date was too soon (July 2026). I told my stylist that I was deliberately told I could choose from the entire inventory if I made my appointment within two weeks but she was persistent that I had to pick from the "ready to wear" selection, which only had about 3 of the dresses on my list. I had driven almost 2 hours from RI for this appointment and wouldn't have if I knew that I wouldn't be able to try a bunch of dresses that I loved! I came to my appointment with 6 family members/friends and only two of them were given champagne. They asked for more and were told no. We thought this was odd but didn't think much of it. Throughout trying on dresses, I felt super rushed and like I was not being heard at all on what I liked about each one that I tried. For example I loved one dress but it wasn't fitting right, I needed a size smaller, but my stylist wouldn't let me try the smaller size; instead she kept telling me "it will look much better when fitted correctly...." At the end of my appointment, I had only one dress that I was (kinda) interested in, until my stylist told me we were out of time and that I couldn't try on a vail with my final pick. I was honestly floored at this point and felt like I accidentally offended my stylist or something for her to basically kick me and my 6-person entourage out. I left GLL feeling super sad, rushed, and confused.

Small bridal salon in Boston…read more This was my first time trying on wedding dresses and I was definitely nervous but Grace Loves Lace made it a great experience. It was easy to make an appointment online, I took the T in but there was some street parking right outside the shop entrance on a little side street. The stylist I had my appointment with (Lay) was super sweet. She offered me a refreshment, asked about my wedding, took my measurements, then brought out the dresses I had put in my appointment request. I honestly fell in love with the first dress and, seeing what I liked about the dress, Lay picked out a gown that wasn't in my original list to try on that I also ended up loving, more than the other ones I had picked out. She also helped me to envision what the dress would look like with some alterations. She is definitely very good at her job. The one thing I would have liked was a bit more alone time to check myself out and take videos and walk around, it felt a little awkward to have someone hovering most of the time. Overall though it was a really great experience and I would highly recommend Grace Loves Lace to any bride to be, especially if it's your first time wedding dress shopping.

I had the best experience both times I visited Vows Bridal. The first time, I went with my mom,…read morebest friend, and two of my cousins. My stylist was Kelly and she was amazing. I tried on probably 10 wedding dresses in a beautiful private room. Kelly let all my guests pick a dress for me that they loved, and I picked several that I loved. I didn't feel rushed at all. I thought I had found my dress but I held off on buying it because I had a second fitting the next day at a different store. Kelly didn't make me feel obligated to buy anything right then and there which I really appreciated. I tried on another dress I loved the following day which left me very confused. It was mermaid style which I had not tried at Vows because I felt it wouldn't look good on me. I reached out to Kelly again and asked her if I could come in again and try some more dresses in the mermaid style. She was so sweet and accommodating. I went in for a second appointment with her, tried on the original dress I had in mind, and tried on some more in the mermaid style that I saw online, and also some that Kelly pulled for me. I ended up finding the one! It was by Allure Bridals and about $1900 which was within my budget. I ordered the dress and it was ready for pick up earlier than expected. It was very big on me so definitely required a lot of alterations, but it was absolutely stunning and I felt so confident and beautiful on my wedding day. Thank you Kelly!!

Extremely disappointing bridal experience!…read more Our experience with Katie at Flair was one of the most disappointing parts of my daughter's wedding dress search. Before our appointment, we had personally heard concerns from several people we know about their experiences at Flair. My daughter consciously put those concerns aside because she was hopeful and genuinely wanted to experience Flair for herself. Unfortunately, after our appointment, we learned that the people we knew who had shared those concerns had also had Katie as their consultant. We arrived 12 minutes late to our appointment and were immediately told that it was fine, but that we now had only 48 minutes. We understood that we were late, but the tone was abrupt from the beginning. Despite my daughter having been asked in advance to send the designers and specific dresses she was interested in, none of the dresses had been pulled in preparation for our appointment. The lack of engagement continued throughout the appointment. Between dresses, while my daughter was changing, Katie would repeatedly go back to the desk, peruse her laptop, and grab another dress. She never once engaged with the three of us sitting there or used that time to talk through what my daughter was looking for. When my daughter was ready in the dressing room, she actually had to call out to Katie to let her know she was ready so Katie could come in and adjust the dress. There was never a sense of excitement or anticipation. There was no "magical reveal" or moment where my daughter was made to feel like a bride. The appointment felt more like moving through a series of dresses as quickly as possible than creating the experience you would expect from a bridal boutique. What was most troubling, however, was Katie's treatment of my daughter. Rather than getting to know her, her vision, her wedding, or even the people who had come with her, Katie spent a significant amount of time lecturing her about the bridal process. She questioned why my daughter had not already chosen a dress--whether she hadn't found "the one," or whether the process had been "too quick and too easy" and she wasn't trusting it. She talked about how a bride needs to "manifest" her dress. She asked very rehearsed, direct, and quite frankly abrasive questions on WHY she wasn't ready to make the decision right there and then. It felt less like supportive bridal guidance and more like Katie was trying to convince my daughter that she was approaching the experience incorrectly. My daughter was never made to feel celebrated as a bride. When we asked reasonable questions about the dress, including the bustle options because my daughter felt the dress was heavy, Katie seemed aggravated and initially dismissed the question by saying there were "many options." When I asked about the price, she said it was within budget and responded, "I told your daughter the price in the dressing room, it is within budget." Even the veil experience felt rushed and careless. Katie said, "I'm no hairdresser," grabbed a few pieces of my daughter's hair, and hurriedly put the veil on her head. These may seem like small details, but during a bridal appointment, those moments matter. A bride should feel beautiful and cared for. By this point, my daughter was upset and overwhelmed and knew she wasn't ready to make a decision. When she asked if she could come back in a few days before she had to head home, back to Tampa, Katie told her, "No, I'm completely booked." She then proceeded to pressure my daughter into taking her measurements so she could just call if she decided to proceed with the dress. Katie ultimately asked the three of us accompanying my daughter to leave the area and wait in the hallway because her next bride and mother had arrived. I understand appointments need to stay on schedule, but the lack of any flexibility, combined with the pressure my daughter was already feeling, made the entire experience feel extremely transactional. At one point, while measuring my daughter, Katie even asked, "Did I say something?" By then, the answer was obvious. A bridal appointment should make a bride feel excited, beautiful, heard, and supported. My daughter left feeling rushed, interrogated, and pressured. We came to Flair willing to put aside things we had previously heard because my daughter wanted to experience it for herself. Unfortunately, our experience confirmed those concerns. Our lasting impression was that making the sale was more important than helping a bride find her dream dress. That is not the experience we expected from a bridal boutique, and I would not recommend booking with Katie.

She must have the steadiest hand of all time and patience like no other because she executed everything PERFECTLY. I also really appreciated her honesty with me throughout the entire process. When I first tried on the dress for her, she immediately noticed that the ballroom-style skirt was a bit large for my petite frame, so she suggested that we remove a few layers of the petticoat under the skirt. I trusted her suggestion and I'm really glad I did because it came out incredible! Great experience all around.

Elena altered my wedding dress which I purchased from La Reine Bridal. Elena was very nice and…read morehelpful especially with my dress requiring many alterations as it was very intricate and delicate, and had long sleeves which needed a lot of work. I also needed crinoline added underneath which I wanted sewn into the dress. I went for an initial fitting, and then two more until the dress fit just right, and picked it up on the fourth visit. I recommend going for alterations 2.5-3 months before your wedding day, and having your wedding shoes and any undergarments with you, which Elena was very nice to remind me on the phone. Her prices might be a little bit on the higher side, but her work is worth it especially if you have a complicated dress like mine.
