They have a huge catalog of dresses to choose from, in a lot of silhouettes. I bought Meadow in white, for my wedding. It is probably the highest quality thing I own, and is well worth the price. The embroidery appliqués feel amazing to the touch, and feel and seem delicate, but the material used is very strong, and the stitches to keep them on the dress are so invisible I had to REALLY LOOK to see them. Before and after my dress arrived, staff was quick to respond to any question I had about the dress itself, their services, and inquiries about how far along in the production timeline it was. Very professional and courteous. I'll update after the wedding with pictures, if I can. read more

This bridal salon is so beautifully unique and I was surprised by the affordability, compared to other shops visited. As a Mother-of-the-Bride for the second time, I had a specific idea in mind for what to expect price-wise. I was delighted to see such intricate applique work and finishing on the dresses, and veils here, and my daughter had a hard time narrowing down her favorites to try on. We also appreciated the variety of materials, styles and sizes for many different body types. The consultant we worked with, Elena, was lovely and super sweet to work with. The shop has high ceilings with a lot of natural light and is very clean inside. The location is easy to find with parking, shops and places to eat or drink nearby. While my daughter is still making her final choice, all signs seem to be leading to "Yes to the (Flora & Lane) Dress!" read more

I meant to write this review months ago-- but I was reminded/compelled to write it today after leaving a bridal dress appointment that made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Michaela at Flora & Lane was absolutely LOVELY and made my Maid of Honor and I feel completely comfortable/at ease from the moment we arrived. The on-site Golden Retriever was an instant +1,000,000 points for me. Though I didn't find my dream dress there, I HIGHLY recommend Flora & Lane for a lovely experience that will make you feel confident and special. Thank you for a wonderful experience read more

I had such an excellent experience at Flora and Lane! This was following an absolutely awful experience at another place and it meant a lot to me the Sara was so incredibly kind and supportive of my vision for my wedding dress. She totally hyped me up throughout the appointment and she seemed really down to earth, which I appreciated. Their dresses are absolutely gorgeous and seem high quality to me. Each one was so unique and I felt so beautiful through the entire appointment. The dresses are also on the more affordable end of things or maybe an average cost for a wedding dress (between like $1500 and $2000 ish), but to me, they look expensive and super nice. Even if I don't purchase my dress here (I'm still deciding), I am so glad I made the trip to Chicago to try on dresses here and I will always remember the experience I had here. Thanks again to Sara for being awesome! read more

Flora & Lane helped make my wedding day magical! Trying on dresses was very stress-free. I went in with two dresses in mind that I wanted to try, and after discussing what I like/dislike, they pulled a dress I hadn't even considered and it ended up being perfect. I was anticipating needing alterations because I'm short and my proportions don't typically fit in standard sizes, but they took my measurements in the store and it fit like a glove! I cannot recommend them more highly. The designs are beautiful, the staff is incredibly helpful, and I could not recommend them more highly. I got some extra fabric for one of my bridesmaids to make my dog a matching outfit and it was one of the highlights of the day. I live in Colorado and flew out to Chicago to try on their dresses, and it was so worth it! read more

For years I knew I wanted to get my wedding dress at Flora & Lane! I flew up for the day from San Diego to the San Francisco location (which has no Yelp) with my crew to try on my dream dresses, with hopes that the experience would live up to the hype in my mind - and it did! I hadn't even considered going into any other shops or trying on dresses anywhere else. I only had 3 months before my wedding, and I was really hoping we could fly home with a dress that day. We tried on only sample dresses, and when I made my appointment, I submitted which dresses I wanted to see the most. Michaela was helpful in getting me dressed and making my family/friends and I comfortable. I got to try on 5 dresses during my appointment and definitely found my dream dress! I knew like every bride hopes to know - the Meadow Forest Green was MY DRESS! I felt so fortunate that it was available for me to take home that day, which isn't always the case for every dress. I felt like a forest fairy goddess on my special day! read more

When I came into the bridal studio from Florida last year, I was greeted with a friendly and fun stylist and my name on their entry board. I did have a dress in mind that I had been staring at for over 6 months. My stylist let me try on whatever dresses I wanted within the hour I was allotted and she took her time with me. There were so many beautiful dresses it was really hard to choose from. My heart was set on the Meadow Teal dress and I knew it was the one when I put it on. I've always been non-traditional and I knew in my mind I was not going to wear white wedding dress. The dress was a beautiful surprise to everyone who didn't know it was coming. I can't say it enough how beautiful it made me feel. Every dress I tried on didn't feel right and I kept coming back to this one. I love it so much and I'm so happy to call it mine! They took my measurements and told me the bustle would be included. It came in a beautiful box and packaging that I honestly still have because I don't want to get rid of it and keep it with the dress! I worked with a local alteration specialist to raise the bust line because I don't have a lot to fill out the space and wasn't super comfortable with how deep the chest opening was, but I already knew that when I bought the dress. I also raised the dress up a little bit in the shoulder and I had my alteration specialist create sleeves out of the cape sleeve which made it feel more unique to me and made it exactly what I wanted. I had a great experience from booking my appointment to receiving my dress. Thank you guys so much for making such beautiful works of art and for having me as a Flora and Lane bride! PS yelp isn't uploading my photos for some reason, but you can view them under my Google review. read more

My daughter had been looking at Primrose since she got engaged last summer, and we made the trip to Chicago in March '26 to try it on. She tried on a few other dresses first, but the second she tried on Primrose, she knew it was the one! We had planned to order the dress this summer for a May of '27 wedding, but life happened, and in April the wedding was moved to May of '26. We didn't think there was any chance that we'd be able to get the dress, but we reached out to Flora and Lane, and they assured us that it was indeed possible! They had a sample in her size, and so we expedited the expedited shipping and had the dress within two weeks! The dress could not have been more perfect on her, and it was absolutely spectacular for their ceremony on the water. Everyone that saw the dress, from the seamstress to our families to the dry cleaner, said that it was the most beautiful wedding gown they had ever seen. Thank you Flora and Lane for creating such a stunning gown, for your amazing customer service, and most importantly, for helping to make my daughter's wedding day so perfect! read more

Flora and Lane is the most magical shop to get a wedding dress from. It's been on my radar for a while, and when it was finally my turn - I knew I was going to Chicago!! My experience with the dress fitting was the best, Elena was such a sweetheart. I didn't feel rushed or pushed to do or choose anything. I got to try on everything I wanted too and ultimately ended with my dream wedding dress. My friends and family who joined were also amazed with the selections, the atmosphere and the overall quality of the storefront and the dresses. I truly felt so beautiful on my wedding day and I couldn't picture me wearing anything else. read more

Flora & Lane - One of the best days of my life. Wearing a dress where I feel so beautiful and looking at the most amazing man I could ask for. - Bridal Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

From the moment I set foot in Flora and Lane's Roscoe Village showroom to my actual wedding day, I am completely satisfied with my dress and the experience. You fill out a questionnaire ahead of time about what kind of styles you like and they select numerous dresses for you to try on. They are patient and helpful with cinching the dresses during the try-on so you get a feel for how it will look. I immediately knew I was into the black Starlight gown soon as I put it on, so I ended up with that one. I'm so glad I did, too, because it looked incredible in photos and I received many compliments. Highly recommend if your style is witchy or whimsigoth. read more

I had no idea where to start when it came to wedding dress shopping - I get overwhelmed and fed up easily with shopping in general so I was definitely nervous about this process. I knew that I wanted a 'non-traditional' dress that felt more 'me'. When I saw the unique, beautiful dresses at Flora & Lane, I was over the moon. After looking online, I happened to head out to Chicago for the holidays and set up an in person appointment to try on dresses - this was truly a game changer for me. The staff was friendly, easy to work with and responsive in their emails throughout the process. While a little bit spendier, I truly think these dresses are worth it! Not only beautiful, but well made and made individually for you. Definitely recommend working with this incredible team and considering purchasing a dress for your day from Flora and Lane! read more

I am beyond disappointed. I made it very clear to my stylist that I wasn't interested in a dress that showed a lot of cleavage (just a personal comfort thing). She assured me that they could bring the plunging neckline of the dress I loved up to my specifications. When they sent me progress photos, I pointed out that the neckline didn't look raised. They assured me it had been. When I got my dress, the neckline was still plunging, showing alllll of the girls. And now, after they "custom measured" me, there was very unflattering bulging fabric around my midriff. Flora & Lane assured me that once my seamstress brought up the shoulders, both issues would be resolved. Nope, even with alterations, the gals are on full display and the bulging is very visible. They then tried to tell me that the neckline was to my specifications (a lie), that my seamstress could simply close the neckline (not enough fabric for that), and that the bulging fabric was because their dresses are a "standard sizing" after taking all of my measurements during my fitting and very much leading me to believe otherwise. Their best solution for the bulging was to have my seamstress completely removed large sewn-on appliques and re-attach them, a process she told me would be a time-consuming nightmare. Flora & Lane told me this was "feasible for an experienced seamstress", implying that my seamstress was somehow not up to snuff despite doing amazing work. During the tedious and unfriendly process of trying to work with their customer service, I was told to shop around for a less pricey seamstress (mine charges average prices for my area), that I should have asked for a higher neckline had I wanted it (I absolutely asked for full coverage and indicated my desired neckline with measurements in store), and that I shouldn't add a panel to the dress for my comfort because it would compromise the original vision of the dress, as if it's not my gown to do with as I choose. After much pushing on my end, the best offer I got from them was for either a refund on the neckline alteration plus $100 off the dress, which wouldn't even cover the alterations to fix the chest and bulging fabric, or for them to rush remake my dress a little over 2 months out from my wedding, which I don't trust them to do properly and wouldn't leave my seamstress enough time for alterations. All I asked from them was to cover the cost to fix their errors, $500, and they couldn't even do that. Which sounds to me like they value the cost of remaking my dress at less than $500, under a fifth of what they charged me for it. My mother's theory on this is that they order pre-fabricated dresses and just attach the appliques and lace in house. Oh, and they'd expect me to return the first dress back to them should I choose the remake option. I had followed Flora & Lane online for years and even though their prices doubled in the last few years, I still couldn't picture myself getting married in anything else. But after this terrible experience with them, interacting with their lackluster customer service, and being insulted and gaslit by them, I would never recommend them to a prospective bride. Save your money and go with the seamstress on Etsy making nearly identical gowns to theirs for a tenth of the price. Update: After I posted my review on four different sites and threatened to file a dispute with my bank, they panicked and sent me the cost of the needed alterations plus their original offer of refunding the fee they'd charged me to raise the neckline (as they should considering the work wasn't done correctly) and $100 off the dress "as a gesture of good will." Their good will was then immediately undercut by telling me I'd once again misunderstood a comment in one of their previous emails, gaslighting me one last time for good measure. (I'll update again at a later date with photos and screenshots, after the wedding.) read more

A few eyebrows were raised when family/friends found out my daughter and I drove to Chicago from Oklahoma for an "unconventional wedding dress". Twice! I would do it all over again. If you are not a conventional bride or are looking for a dress other than white, (they do have some in white) please do yourself a favor and check out Flora and Lane. The staff is wonderful. The space is set up to where the bride has an intimate, one on one experience. All attention was on her without any outside distractions. We even left the back way so we would not disturb another appointment which was very thoughtful. The prices were up front and very reasonable. The variety of dress styles and colors will satisfy everyone's taste. Great communication while we were waiting for the custom dress. I do not have anything negative to say. The experience was wonderful. My daughter received everything she asked for and was so excited when her dream dress was delivered. Thank you Flora and Lane. Thank you Elizabeth for making the experience so special! read more

THE BEST DECISION!! I truly looked high and low for the perfect wedding dress for my woodland fairy themed wedding and I could not find what I was looking for anywhere in my area (I'm located in Denver CO), and then I stumbled upon Flora & Lane through tik tok actually and I was IN LOVE!! F & L dresses are unlike anything I have seen and are so unique and just absolutely gorgeous! So my mom and I hopped on a plane to Chicago to get my dream dress. My experience in the shop was magical! The lovely lady who helped me try on dresses was so kind and made the experience so enjoyable :) As soon as I tried on THE dress I knew I had found the perfect look for my dream fairy wedding! It was absolutely worth every penny I spent and I am so grateful for the Flora & Lane team for all their efforts and the beautiful dresses they create, they are truly one of a kind! They accommodated my request of adding some extra mesh for additional coverage as that was my only worry that I felt supported in my dress (I am a size DD in the chest area). The dress fit like a glove and i felt every bit like a fairy princess that I had dreamed of since I was a little girl on my wedding day!! Thank you thank you thank you Flora & Lane! I would also like to note that I am a size 16 in dresses and I had absolutely no issues with sizing :) From my experience they have a huge range of dresses for all body types. read more

Highly, highly recommend Flora and Lane and designer/owner Catherine Yatana. Dresses. If you are looking for bohemian, relaxed while still elegant, FAL will have options for you. The quality and design of the lace (the lace!!!), the delicacy of the craftmanship....these dresses feel more expensive than they are. If ballgown/princess is your thing, FAL is likely not going to be a fit. I wanted a dress to pair with a flower crown, espadrilles and natural make up - and the Giselle gown was perfect. Most of them do seem to be designed for a smaller frame, but that is made clear on the website. Customer Service. As soon as you walk into FAL for your appt, you are warmly greeted and made to feel special. Once I decided on the Giselle, Catherine was careful to take all my requests for alterations, which included adding fabric to the boddess for more coverage, removing some of the fabric from the skirt, modifying the strips, etc. In short, she was happy to make any change to the dress that I needed and very patient to answer all my questions. I also had an expedited timeline that Catherine committed to meeting. I did pay for "rush" service, and had the dress with a few weeks to spare. Location. I drove an hour each way to the FAL studio four times (initial appt, two fittings and pick up) and never had an issue with parking. It is clearly visible from a major street (Western), so I can't imagine how anyone who has ever driven in the city would have an issue with location. It is a proper store front shop - the building is commercial and residential, it's not "in an apartment building." Totally worth the drive. Also, the studio is just so beautiful and calming - perfect setting for the 1:1 consultation that Catherine does so well. read more

The dress is beautiful but the customer service and/or returns are non-existent. I had heard they worked with you to make your day perfect, They offered to give me $500 dollars for the brand new dress and I would need to order the new one at full price.

IF YOU ARE BIGGER THAN A SIZE 4 DO NOT TRY DRESSES HERE I've tried on dresses at 4 other stores (Alice in Ivory, BHLDN, Grace Loves Lace, and David's Bridal) and I never had an experience as traumatizing as this. First of all, the store is extremely difficult to find as it doesn't have a sign out front and it's in an apartment building - likely because they don't have a retail license. When I got in after walking the block, Catherine explains that she only has size 10s which I don't foresee being a problem. I'm a size 12-14 in regular clothes and 14-18 in bridal sizes. Other stores have a really helpful solutions to make the smaller sizes work, Anna Campbell has detachable sleeves and BHLDN uses paneling. Catherine tries to get me to try on the Giselle which is not my style but I knew it was because it was stretchy and open in the back. Instead I try on the Laguna. I could barely get it up my thighs let alone zip it up an inch (see photo of front). Next I try on the Novella. OMG. I couldn't even get the sleeve over my forearm and this part is the worst: Instead of providing any solution to see what this dress would look like on me Catherine says "so let's move on to the next dress." I almost died. Even though she does custom sizing this dress was basically excluded from me. I couldn't believe it! I have never had a bridal consultant say that to me. If she had more forethought she could make the sleeves detachable or have slits in the sleeves for the dress ppl are trying on. I was so overwhelmed, I started to cry. I asked her to give me a moment, and I ended the appointment early. I couldn't stop crying. I told her she should have more sizes. I told her that she was being discriminatory. Instead of apologizing, she went on the defense: this is how the dresses were, there was info on the website. And then she proceeded to show me on the site where it says they only have a size 10. (I've tried on a size 10, this is not a size 10). I was still crying. I told her she should have a sign out front for the store. She showed me on her phone the email where they have a map with the store (!!!!) I could not believe it I was absolutely floored by the customer service. I left the appointment feeling like garbage. Catherine may make beautiful dresses but she does not have good people skills. A crying woman is giving you direct feedback on your product and your giving a defense? How Catherine behaved showed a very big lack of professionalism and maturity. I was hoping she might send an email apologizing or trying to make up for it. She didn't. I hope FAL can be more inclusive in the future or at least more empathetic. I don't know how it can survive if it doesn't. read more

I ultimately did not get my dress form Flora and Lane, however, that does not mean I didn't enjoy my experience. Catherine made my appointment so personal and took time to listen to me.

My experience with Flora & Lane and working closely with Catherine was absolutely amazing and couldn't have gone more smoothly. I came to FAL with a custom request and a very distinct wish for what I wanted my dress to be. From my first appointment and on, Catherine, the head designer, was warm and welcoming. She listened closely and took many detailed notes about my wishes and design requests. She asked questions related to aspects of the dress I hadn't yet considered like the total pro that she is! She made the whole process FUN! My vision for the dress came to life in a way that ended up being even more beautiful than I had thought it could. Everything was done in a timely way and even completed ahead of the schedule! Catherine is a true artist and professional when it comes to her and her team's work, and I can't recommend them enough. I am forever grateful for the experience I had with FAL, especially for something so special as my wedding dress read more

I am so glad that I found this beautiful boutique!! I was having such a hard time finding dresses that I liked and the dress shopping experience was so stressful until I walked in to Flora & Lane. The head designer/owner Catherine Yatana is amazing and immediately made me feel completely relaxed and her dresses are gorgeous and so unique. I was looking for the bohemian style for my outdoor wedding and this is exactly what I found in her store. They are each designed by her and you can tell how much love she puts in to each of her dresses. They are beautifully crafted with gorgeous lace and my dress had the most beautiful beading I have ever seen. She was also super helpful and supportive through the entire process of alterations. She spent so much time with me to make sure the dress was perfect. I definitely recommend this studio, especially if you are into the bohemian style as well. It felt like such a personalized experience and it was just wonderful, I can't say enough good things! - Sarah Major read more

I booked an appointment very last minute with 3 months timeline before my wedding at Flora & Lane and could not be more happier. All of the other stores in Chicago basically turned me away because of my tight timeline. They gladly accepted me with open arms. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by Catherine into their lovely store. Oh what a relief it was that our entire group had the whole store space to ourselves. No distractions whatsoever which made me feel more comfortable. Catherine walked me through the different style of dresses they had on the rack. It didn't feel like she was trying to push me in any way to make a sale. It was more like a collaborative process picking out the styles I liked best. Just a reminder that their selection is a bit limited but beautifully curated. I was able to pick out the exact dress style that I wanted to try on which was a big plus for me. There is no limit on the number of dresses you can try on either. At the end, it came down to two dresses and they were accommodating enough to let me essentially combine the features into one dress. I mean, just amazing that I can do this on such a short timeframe! They will go 100% out of their way to make this experience special for you. If the cookie cutter , traditional and poofy dresses are not appealing to your taste, this place is for you! read more

I was a bit nervous to wedding dress shop, but Catherine the designer at Flora and Lane made this experience so wonderful. It is one on one and your entourage are the only people there. It is very personal and the space is inviting and beautiful. The dresses are unique and were exactly the dreamy style I was looking for. She made all of my appointments light hearted and enjoyable. I went four different times, one just to look, the second to say yes! And the third and fourth for final fittings. Every time was just as amazing as the last and I never felt rushed. The dresses are affordable and made for you, so you can customize different pieces (which I did) and don't have to pay a ton extra for alterations. AND everything is made local in Chicago which is a huge bonus! I would recommend this shop to anyone. My final dress is absolutely perfect and exactly what I had envisioned for my big day. Can't wait to go back just to say Hi! read more
