Bliss Bridal was the second salon we went to in search of bridal gowns for my daughter's wedding…read more Our consultant, Sky, was very personable and energetic. She was eager to share her experience but listened to my daughter and encouraged her to find a dress that captured who she was. While the dresses hung in long rows in the middle of the salon, the private fitting room offered an enormous mirror and platform for the bride to be, an attached chaging room and plenty of surrounding seating for guests. Parking was easy, including spots directly in front of the salon. My daughter loved the selection of dresses, and I appreciated the open communication with our consultant. While a record of specifics is noted in their records, I did request and get a business card with the same.

My recommendation is if you make an appointment, book double slots so she has the time necessary for your party, and ask for Neenah. The negatives are this location, being smaller, does not have every item, or every fabric swatch. But luckily at least I can get them online

I found my dress here! Amanda helped me try about a dozen dresses, including one about 10 times…read more She was very patient and helpful for me to figure out what I was looking for in a dress. I am really glad I came here. One thing that could have been clarified, when you purchase a dress and you do not use credit card you cannot pick it up immediately. Supposedly this is an industry standard, but not something we were told when we put it on hold. We were purchasing a sample dress and were concerned about waiting for a dress we had purchased, so we had to go to multiple ATMs to get cash (not easy to do without flagging your card).

I went to Evermore Bridal for my wedding gown back in mid-April 2 weeks after I got engaged, and…read morepurchased my dress the same day. I was told that because my dress was a brand new style that it would be in by the end of May/beginning of June. My dress didn't come until the end of July- so that was the first issue. I didn't make a stink about it because at least it arrived before the wedding. However, I was also advised that the 12 I tried on in the store (pictured is me wearing the size 12) "was way too tight" and that I needed to be measured to see what size would be appropriate. Against my own instincts I obliged, as I thought the professionals knew what they were doing. They sized me and told me to go with a 16, so that's what we did. When I finally got my dress over a month after I was told it would come in I took it into my seamstress right away. The seamstress immediately asked me how much weight I had lost since trying on and ordering the dress. Much to her surprise, I hadn't actually lost ANY weight at all. The seamstress then went on to tell me I was going to need to have my dress taken in 2 full sizes, all the way back down to a 12. So I'm basically having to pay for an entire new dress because the seamstress is going to have to take apart and reconstruct the dress. I contacted the manager of Evermore to give her a chance to remedy this issue prior to writing a bad review because I hate leaving bad reviews. However this situation is inexcusable and her unwillingness to do ANYTHING to make it right makes me sick- zero compassion or empathy for a bride who has to spend $1500 on alterations because of a mistake her employee made. My only other thought is that they intentionally tell their brides to order the wrong size so they have to spend money at the alterations shop that they partner with- because I was specifically asked if I'd be using their partner for alterations prior to deciding on and ordering my dress. The manager basically wrote me off and told me that I signed a contract when I took the dress home and that I should have tried it on before I left the store and there's nothing she can do for me (I live 5 hours away and needed to get going). I was apparently a fool to trust the "professionals". What a shame.

Katherine did my best friend's wedding gown and Katherine has MAGICAL skills! She did what many…read moreprofessionals deemed to be impossible for her dress. I was with my friend when she tried on the dress (off the rack) and I was worried as to how the dress could be made to fit her (even though she is teenie tiny) but her wedding dress was two sizes too small! Katherine made my friend's dress fit her PERFECTLY (from adding the two sizes and somehow making the bra/breast area fit perfectly without a gap (I feel like this is difficult to accomplish with a wedding gown and I see lots of brides with the gap around the bra area and it bothers me). I'm super picky and I was SOLD on hiring Katherine when I saw my friend on her wedding day - she seriously looked like a model in a movie! I told my friend "I need your wedding gown professional's contact info STAT for my own upcoming wedding. So so glad I called! Katherine also made (herself!) a beautiful sash for my daughter's flower girl dress (and for all of the other flower girls) ... they were so classy and so cute!! Super high quality too! The veil Katherine made (also herself) for my friend was GORGEOUS and I'm so excited for mine now (I get married next year)! Katherine has been so nice and so personable in my own wedding gown alteration process - and it's so nice and refreshing to have this! She is available via text message which I also appreciate a lot. Even though my wedding isn't until the Spring, I highly recommend Katherine after seeing the end results for my friend's wedding and for my daughter's dress, and this is such a huge weight off of my shoulders to feel confident that my wedding gown will be taken care of by her (someone so talented and also fun to talk to!) for my wedding day. If you're looking for someone for alterations and it's stressing you out like it was for me, I would call Katherine!

I chose this seamstress for my wedding dress alterations because someone recommended her services,…read morebut unfortunately my experience was extremely disappointing. The alterations ended up being taken a little too far and it lays weirdly on the sides (puckering etc), and when I received my dress back, it had visible dirt/stains on the back of the dress that were not there when I brought it in. My dress was brand new when I dropped it off, and when I expressed concern, I was told that it came that way/she didn't know what happened, which was frustrating because that simply was not true. I now have to spend additional time and money getting my wedding dress professionally cleaned myself, and no discount or effort was made to make the situation right. Communication throughout the entire process was also unclear. I was never given a firm completion date, which created unnecessary stress during an already stressful time leading up to a wedding. Wedding dress alterations are expensive, and for the amount I paid, I expected much more care, accountability, and communication. I left feeling frustrated and disappointed with the overall experience. While she was kind personally, I would not return and would not recommend her services.

Well to keep the long story short, it was the fourth place we came for the dress and we were very happy. My friend was able to say yes to her dress for her wedding in the fall of 2018.

The staff is super helpful and they make sure you are treated well and not rushed. They listened to her vision and were uber helpful. I really enjoyed coming here. Can I get married again and pick a dress? We plan on being back to look into bridesmaids dresses. Until then .

I absolutely loved my experience at White Dress Bridal Boutique! My consultant, Mel, was AMAZING…read more She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. Even though this was my very first bridal appointment and I wasn't ready to say yes just yet, I could not stop thinking about one of the dresses I tried on here. I went to a second appointment at a different boutique afterward and had a terrible experience. None of the dresses compared to the one I tried on at White Dress, and it really highlighted how special my experience here was. The entire staff was so kind and genuinely made me feel celebrated. They even gave me a bride bag with several thoughtful items at the start of my appointment, which was such a nice touch. I've already made another appointment to go back and hopefully say yes to the dress I loved. I would absolutely recommend White Dress Bridal Boutique to any bride looking for an unforgettable dress-shopping experience.

Haley was incredible!! She really helped me narrow down the type of dress I wanted while making sure I felt comfortable and confident. (Like so many brides, I ended up loving a completely different style than what I thought I wanted!) I wasn't ready to say yes at my first appointment, so I checked out some other stores, but nothing compared to White Dress. The dresses here are clean, well-kept, and absolutely stunning. When my family came into town, they even squeezed me in for a last-minute appointment because there was one dress I couldn't stop thinking about. Sure enough, I found the one! The whole team goes above and beyond and truly knows their stuff. I can't recommend White Dress enough!

Hope helped me find my wedding dress and she was beyond amazing. Hope was knowledgeable, kind, personable, and she picked out the top two dresses that I tried on (she knew me well!). I appreciated how she included my family in the process while also being mindful of my preferences and opinions. Hope has the perfect personality for this and I will always appreciate that she found my wedding dress. Any bride will be lucky to work with Hope! I came back to Miss Ruby Boutique a few hours after my appointment to say yes to my wedding dress. I had wanted to take some time to think about my decision. Claire was available to help me try on the dress again. Claire and I had a great conversation that helped seal the deal which was followed by champagne and a photo session. I am so thankful for her kindness and taking me in at the last minute. Overall, Miss Ruby Boutique has impressed me for so many reasons. The first being, every staff member that I interacted with was phenomenal. I felt that they were all sharing my excitement. Secondly, there has been consistent communication since I booked the appointment and following the appointment. It is easy to get a hold of the staff at Miss Ruby with follow-up questions. Thirdly, some of the Milwaukee made dress purchases go towards organizations chosen by Miss Ruby which was a pleasant surprise. I had shopped at other bridal salons in the Milwaukee area and my experience at Miss Ruby exceeded all other salon experiences. My family who was with me during my appointments also agreed. THANK YOU to the entire staff at Miss Ruby Boutique! It was truly a beautiful day there with my family who traveled to Milwaukee. I am so excited to wear my wedding dress :)
