Non traditional bride review - Beautiful gowns, but not out-of-the-box…read more This was a hard one to rate. I was initially excited because the website seemed so different from other bridal shops and even specified a black dress and pants suits and breaking out of the mold. I spent time filling out a questionnaire including a link to my Pinterest board. When I arrived the sales person Cora seemed somewhat surprised to see me and did not have many samples picked out (like other stores will do) and did not seem to have read my questionnaire. As a last minute bride, there were off the rack options that I could choose from which I appreciated. BUT I feel like the way the store markets their brand is very different than what they actually offer. Other than some Pop culture decor, I did not see the store as being edgier than other bridal shops. There was one black gown in the display window and a handful of statement pieces on a tiny trunk show rack, but I found myself bored of the explosion of white dresses (and champagne being the primary alternative color) and craving the experience I expected from the description paragraph on the website. I rated it a four because I am taking ownership of not fully vetting all of the designers they carry - but hope one day I can find a non-cliche shop that doesn't feel like it's trying so hard with the aesthetic like Flutter.

An adorable wedding dress shop! Their selection of dresses was decent! If you ask to see some…read moredresses off the rack, their price range was about 700-5000. I did not go with a dress from here, mostly because I liked others equally and they were cheaper. The staff was friendly, though I was surprised the attendant did not help me get into my dresses. There is space for only 2-3 appointments at once, so they do feel intimate. Good natural lighting for getting a feel for the dress. They are pretty strict on the 4 guest max rule. They weren't too pushy and didn't follow up after we left (which I appreciated). Overall I would recommend adding Che Bella to your dress appointment list! Great restaurant (Gai Noi) and park (Loring) nearby for a true girls afternoon!

Even before walking in, I knew it was the right place for me to find my dress based on their social media presence and the intake call I had prior to my appointment.

We giggled together with my squad and I felt honored to have my appointment be in the place they film most of their TikTok's! It was so fun and such a lovely experience. I will recommend everyone I know to get their dress from Luxe!

Both my sister and I purchased our wedding dresses from Bella Bridal Boutique and we absolutely…read moreloved the dresses. This boutique has a great selection of styles and designers at this store, a very generous and comfortable fitting / viewing area in the back, and reasonable prices. The staff is helpful and good at making recommendations for your body type, although very particular about certain things (e.g., no shoes allowed, no men in the viewing area). Other positives were that they shipped the dress to me since I live out of state, and that they were able to get it to me within 3 months of purchase for a reasonable rush fee. They also stayed open late to allow me to make a final decision on the dress and for the processing of the paperwork / payment. On that note...the paperwork. This is one of the reasons I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. The contract they make you sign is a little crazy. You have to initial individual clauses that clear the boutique of any responsibility should the dress show up late, with a different length than expected, and a number of other nuances that you would expect a seller to be responsible for. They will not sell you the dress without your signature on every single line, and when I protested about the terms, they told me that it was in the boutique's best interest to ensure I was happy with my final purchase. So, they gave me verbal assurances that everything would be great, even though I was being forced to sign a document that cleared them of the liability for some potentially big issues. In the end, I was exhausted and wanted to just get everything over with, so I signed it. Thankfully, their verbal assurances rang true, and the dress showed up earlier than expected, without defects, and in great shape. It looked beautiful at the wedding! The only other complaint I have is that I felt very pressured to go with a larger size than I needed. My seamstress ended up having to take my dress in 3 SIZES, which was very expensive and time-consuming. In hindsight, I wish I hadn't given in to the pressure and ordered the size I thought was best. I get that boutiques want you to play it safe since it's easier to take a dress in than out, but 3 sizes off was a little frustrating.

However, the manager Susana, absolutely awful customer service and does not care about making a customer happy. Bella bridal charged my card TWICE for an item I only ordered one of. After months of phone calls, fighting with the store and also talking with my bank, the issue was never resolved. This is not something a bride should have to deal with right in the last moments before her wedding. I finally gave up because I was getting absolutely no where. Absolutely disgusted with the way things were handled by this women and I am making sure to spread awareness of this issue to other brides so they do not shop with this company.

My daughter wanted to be the third generation to wear the ivory satin wedding dress that her…read moregrandmother and mother said their "yes" in. So Evermore seemed the perfect choice because they specialized in vintage gowns, and I did not want it to be dry cleaned. The dress was in good condition but yellowed, (see before photos) and the store manager assured us that Evermore would be able to restore it to its original color. Sadly, Evermore was not able to do this and damaged the vintage fabric in the process. This was partly due to the work not being started in the timeframe promised (almost two weeks later than agreed upon) which resulted in rushed service and the gown being pressed while still wet with cleaning fluid. The once ivory dress now looked bleached white with ivory splotches and was dull instead of having a satin sheen. (See photo) The manager recommended the dress be processed a second time and then asked for another week after that. Without my permission, the dress was sent out and dry cleaned! The general manager said he thought the dress had grease stains and that he did not know the history of the dress. He could have known had he asked. The dress had been fully examined before any treatment, and there were no grease stains on the dress. The dress came back still splotchy and had been pressed on the right side of the fabric causing heat damage. (See photo) The store manager shook her head and said, "The best I can do is 50% off. I requested the full amount and was given that. Aside from not being able to restore the dress to its original color, the gown was irreparably damaged because of the way it was pressed. I expected that a company that specializes in vintage gowns would train their staff to not press a wet garment and press on the underside of the fabric. I know there are no guarantees in life and mistakes happen. What matters to me as a customer is the response when there is a mistake. I spoke with both the store manager and general manager, and neither would acknowledge that the gown was treated poorly. The general manager said, "What do you expect me to do? Clean the dress again? I have lost so much time and money already." I absolutely did not want the dress done as Evermore had not demonstrated its staff were capable of caring for an heirloom dress. I felt I was treated in a disrespectful way and was shown no empathy for such disappointing results. When I first brought in the dress, I was asked for its value. I said, "priceless." I was encouraged to write that on the form. Now the gown is no longer lovely or the heirloom we hoped to pass onto the next generation. We have less than three months to find a dress. What was supposed to be a joyful part of planning a wedding has been so heart breaking.

During the alteration fitting, the staff expertly pinned my dress and made sure I was happy with their plan. While alterations always seem to be on the more expensive side, Evermore was in line (if not a little less expensive) than other places I've visited to have bridesmaids dresses altered. For the ease, price, and professional staff, I would definitely use Evermore again!

The dresses were all hung up around the shop and we were directed to take photos of the ones we liked and our stylist would grab them for me. All of the little try on areas are in one big room, so if you are a private person looking for a quiet moment, this may not be the stop for you. But for me, it was very fun to see other brides trying on dresses and get inspiration! Our stylist was very helpful and the champagne was a nice touch! Free to make a reservation and I felt no pressure when I decided the dresses were not for me. Vow'd has all their selection online and the prices were true to the listings.

Planning a wedding in less…read morethan 6 months, many bridal boutiques did not have anything to offer me or had exorbitant rush fee charges. After a frustrating day of trying on dresses, Chelsea was caring and calm. She was able to create a fully custom dress for me in under 6 months. Her pricing and process was transparent from the beginning and from our first design session, I felt completely heard and cared for. She approached every detail with patience, warmth, and extraordinary craftsmanship. The dress itself was beyond anything I imagined -- elegant and luxurious. Each fitting felt thoughtful, and her attention to detail gave me complete confidence. Chelsea didn't just create a dress, she created something that felt uniquely mine. Wearing it on our wedding day, I felt comfortable, beautiful, and fully myself. I will always be grateful for Chelsea's talent and kindness and cannot recommend her highly enough for a wedding dress or alterations! She is such an incredible designer.

Great work, worth the price!…read more My bridal shop recommended Modehaus for alterations and I'm glad I used them! When I bought and ordered my dress, I got the vastly wrong size in the bust/shoulders. I was extremely nervous about getting the dress to a point that fit me for my wedding. I'm SO grateful I found Modehaus - Chelsea listened to my concerns and my requests for alterations (I also wanted to add pieces to sleeves) and each appointment I went to I could tell there was careful thought and work put into my dress. I could tell from my first appointment that Chelsea is serious about her work and is truly an artist. I want to note that Chelsea shared the price at the very first appointment, and didn't increase it even when we needed to have an additional appointment to take my dress in one more time. While it's probably on the higher price point of dress alterations, the work she and her team did was absolutely worth every penny. Pro tip - you get a bit of a discount if you pay in cash! HIGHLY recommend Modehaus for alterations!! And the dresses she makes that were hanging around in the shop - beautiful!!
