What an amazing salon!…read more The salon itself was lovely, there are two sides and I was on one side to myself with my party. The other side had two dressing rooms for brides. My stylist, Serki, was incredible, I was so disheartened after checking out another shop the day before and was worried my points weren't getting across. I showed her pictures of what I wanted and the first two dresses she pulled were on the right track, but she took my comments into account and pulled my dress for me on her third try! It was a really lovely experience, we may have been there on a slow day but she let us take lots of pictures and FaceTime my wedding party. She was also great with helping me try on some different accessories and decide on the style of veil I wanted! I was worried about trying what I thought was a smaller boutique but they had an amazing selection, and I was impressed with them trying to help me stay in budget and buying my dress off the rack! Thanks ladies!! Very metro accessible, we metro-ed to King St Old Town and were prepared to walk but the free trolley took us just a few blocks away!

The second visit, months later, resulted in the dress that brought tears to my eyes. I returned because of the comfort and openness of the experience. Most of my positive experience was due to the amazing staff member, Lizzie. She lit up my world during the entire process. She not only assisted me with every try-on but also listened to my likes and dislikes and introduced me to other dress options and ideas. I even requested to work with her again on my second visit. My "Yes to the Dress" moment came with a dress I would have never chosen, but it absolutely rocked my world. I couldn't even try on another dress after that because it spoke to me so deeply and gave me a moment I never thought possible. Thank you, Lizzie, for your attentiveness and for creating that unforgettable moment.

Katie guided me through the entire process with such warmth, professionalism, and care. She was incredibly easy to work with, always communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure I felt confident and supported every step of the way. I was especially nervous going into my first appointment. I didn't have the traditional group of friends with me, and my mom wasn't able to attend that day, so I came alone and felt a little sad about it at first. But Katie immediately put me at ease. She created such a comfortable, welcoming environment that I quickly forgot my nerves and was able to truly enjoy the experience. Their selection of dresses was fantastic, and incredibly curated. To my surprise and delight, I found the dress during my very first appointment- the fourth gown I tried on! Katie's expertise and intuition were spot-on. What truly sets Clifton Bridal Boutique apart, though, is the level of care they provide. Katie even came in on days the boutique was closed so I could try on my dress when my mom was visiting. That kind of dedication is rare and deeply appreciated. Her communication from the initial appointment all the way through final pickup was flawless, and the bridal tailor they recommended was excellent as well. As a bonus, the town of Clifton is absolutely charming with lovely little restaurants nearby. It's perfect for celebrating with lunch after an appointment. I couldn't recommend Clifton Bridal Boutique more highly. If you're searching for a wedding dress and want an experience that feels personal, thoughtful, and genuinely special, this is the place to go.

I spoke with the manager AJ for a bit, and she explained which of my preferred styles they carry and offered similar styles. She allowed me to walk into the store, look at the dresses, understand their pricing and inventory. She even allowed me to try on a dress that I was captivated by! Everyone at the shop was warm and friendly and happy to help. I am looking to return as I move forward with my wedding dress "journey"!

In the end my bride can't even wear the dress.

She is masterful and has so much talent…read more She taught my matron of honor and I so many tips and skills to putting on and taking off my dress, as well as how to walk up and down stairs and bustle. At the first appt for alterations, she let me tell her what I thought needed to be fixed first before offering her suggestions. She did this bc something she might see as an issue might not even bother me. Overall, it was a good experience and I'm very happy with the outcome. She made me feel like a queen in my dress and I cannot wait to show it off on my wedding day. *Parking: There's plenty of parking out front, and more in the lot across front the store. It is a very busy lot, and sometimes drivers from the Starbucks drive through gets stuck trying to leave. Id recommend that you park closer to the Bonchon. **Will post pictures of before and after, but AFTER my wedding in May! Can't have the fiance seeing any pics anywhere hehe PS the elderly man at the register was the kindest gentlemen ever!

Im a bride to be, and I'm the kind of woman that hates trying on clothes. My maid of honor set up an appointment anyway. We arrived to Tangs with my mother, daughter, and my good friend Tiffany (who put tangs on my radar). Lisa was to be my stylist. When Lisa saw Tiffany, she gave her a huge hug! As she had helped her years before to find her perfect dress. I knew I was in good hands Lisa asked alot of questions, but nailed what I wanted instantly. She really listens. The first dress she picked out for me, is the one we all fell in love with. I tried on other dresses, but her first pick....WAS THE ONE! I asked her if it would be alright to have some time to reflect before I commit to the dress. She was so cool about that and didn't pressure me. Later on, I decided... you know what. That's my dress! My maid of Honor called Lisa. Lisa said she'll hang out at the shop until we arrive. And she did. An unexpected personal touch, was that earlier in the day...I mentioned that I love Metallica. She remembered that, and a we walked in to close the sale at 6:53, when they close at 7pm. She had Metallica on the radio for me. She let me try on the dress once more for the photo opp and was so awesome about it. I highly recommend tangs. Love you Lisa, thank you for your time and your patience. I couldn't have found my dress without you!

They called the day before and left a very heartfelt message welcoming to the shop and getting me excited for my appointment. When I arrived, the doors were opened for us and we were greeted by the friendliest staff! Ava Laurénne is the site of an old bank and it has such a unique character. They had some dresses on the bottom floor as well as a few bride stations and their bridal suite with snacks and activities. I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Patty for my appointment. Patty really listened to me and put me in different options I never had considered, a lot of which were top choices! Party was so friendly, caring, passionate and really had a great eye! I tried on many dresses and am very picky and Patty was patient and never tried to rush me. Patty really kept my budget in mind when showing me dresses as well. The dress I ended up buying was $500 less than the top of my price point, which gives me more flexibility for alterations. I ended up finding a really unique dress here which is perfect for my wedding day! I purchased the dress and then they gave me the full bride experience! They brought me downstairs and gave me a free t-shirt, they gave us drinks and snacks, and took my picture in many spots around the store. A really nice and special activity was going into the Phone booth and leaving a voicemail for my fiancé about my excitement for the wedding. My mom, sister, and I had a blast! We couldn't stop talking about how nice and helpful everyone was here and how much fun we had! There is truly no other bridal shop like Ava Laurenne!

My dress experience was decent. I will say, it didn't feel like the "dream dress experience." You…read moredon't get champagne or a very luxury feeling. However, it's a nicer storefront and they have some great dress options. They have in house Seamtress - alterations on your dress is typically starting around $1,200 depending on what you change. I ordered one of their custom dresses that they created with a designer. I further customized my dress with adding a longer train to it and adding a slit. I will say I've seen variations of my dress online by other designers, but I think my quality dress appeared like it was better material. I felt like the customer service varied depending on who you got that day. Some people seemed more kind and tried their best to be accommodating and others seemed like they were just trying to be done for the day. I had around 3 fittings. I could bring 2 people with me each time. They have sample sales available and there's two locations for this company. Overall, if you want the dream dress experience this is not it. However, if you just want to buy your dress and you don't need all the extra bell and whistles (e.g champagne, back drops, private fittings) then this is a good choice. They packaged my dress, veil, and hair band nicely upon receiving everything and they provide a contract with most of the main details of your purchase. You have to pay for everything before you can take the dress (obviously). Overall, if I could do it all again I would probably go with another dress company. That's because I'm extra for the price I ended up paying in total which was around $7K I could've probably gone to a higher end bridal shop with more elevated experience. BUT they checked the boxes and accommodated most of my needs.
