I didn't end up choosing a dress here but I really enjoyed my experience. They charge for appointments, but the money goes towards your dress if needed. The sales people aren't pushy, which is very much appreciated. I felt gorgeous in a lot of the dresses, but decided to save some $$$ by visiting elsewhere. I think it's a good idea to try on dresses here even if the budget isn't super aligned. Understanding how fabric at different price points can look and feel made me feel very confident in my later decisions. read more

Great experience with Mary! She has a shrewd sense of what would look good on a person, even if it's a style they never would have originally picked for themselves. She was also very efficient and I was able to try on a ton of dresses during my appointment, so many of which looked amazing on me. I definitely recommend I do Bridal and I said yes to the dress :) read more

I flew in from AZ, I was hopeful this bridal shop would have "the one". It was my first time shopping & I had the most fun experience finding my wedding dress earlier this month. They truly have every dress you could imagine. I want to give another special thanks to Kaely. She absolutely made the day magical and helped me say YES to the dress. I never felt rushed. She valued my feedback and brought me things I may not have picked on my own. She was so kind to all of us (I brought a party ) and made them all feel welcomed & special. I would recommend I Do Bridal and the entire team to every bride wanting to experience finding a wedding day outfit! read more

My friend got married and we came here in search of bridesmaids dresses. They were super friendly on the phone when we made the appointment and the service when we got there was more than you could ever expect when going dress shopping. I loved how easy it was to see all of the dresses organized by color and don't even get me started with how impressed I was with the curtain in the round dressing areas! I loved how spacious the fitting room areas were and that other guests had room to sit in comfy chairs while they waited for you to try things on and then switch places. I highly recommend giving your business to this team of professionals as they will not steer you astray! We didn't feel rushed or uncomfortable for one second while we were here - which cannot be said across the board for shops in this particular industry. read more

Years ago when I was going to get married I used this company and they gave great customer service. This last week I called with a few questions about a dress they pulled in their window. They have been great and positive experiences every time I work with them. Haven't purchased a dress yet but look forward to doing it with them someday. read more

I cannot give enough stars!! We had an appointment on Friday (1/22/2021) afternoon and never once felt rushed, pressured, or judged in any way. Jennifer was absolutely amazing and exceeded all my expectations! She was so professional even when I was 90% naked LOL, and was so much fun every step of the way. She helped me pick out the perfect hairpiece for my wedding day, and we even ordered my reception dress! I had so much fun and I can't wait to see her again to pick up my orders! read more

I see they have pushed down my review, so I will rewrite it. We went there helping my daughter look for a dress, (its a very emotional visit and energy is high) within 2 hours or less of finding what she thought was the dress, she called, emailed and texted asking to cancel the order. They said they would contact the designer to see what they could do (which they probably did'nt and made an excuse they cant cancel) they still had'nt even started the dress by this point!!!! Very selfish, read the small print before you sign and pay them (They went over the bill , payment etc, but don't mention you cannot cancel with in a reasonable amount of time and don't even leave a window of grace period. Not a good experience, they were not transparent when discussing the full term, I was there and she didnt say anything about thier policy. too bad read more

From the minute I walked in I felt so comfortable here. The staff greeted me immediately and Cait who was going to be helping me was right there ready to go. She showed us to the room and had dresses already pulled from the ones I had picked on their website ahead of time. She had really listened to me about my insecurities when we had spoken on the phone and didn't pick anything that wasn't in my budget or comfort level. My mom can be difficult sometimes and she was tired and frustrated from the previous stores we went to and not in the best mood. Within the first few dresses all that melted away and Cait joked around with us and put us at ease. She found me the perfect dress and put no pressure on me whatsoever to buy it that day. She walked away and gave us time to talk alone which helped with my anxiety about the decision. I got to take the dress home with me that day and have been waiting to write this review for a long time! My wedding was beautiful and I felt so comfortable in my dress and thought of Cait and that special moment that she created for my mom and I. It is something I will always cherish and did not expect to happen. Thank you! read more

I had a fabulous time here at I DO Bridal. I had gone to Davids earlier the same day and tried on dresses, dresses, and more dresses. I asked if they had anything in silver and the consultant told me I was crazy. The minute I got to I Do and I started talking with the consultant, I felt very comfortable. She asked me what my budget was and what I was looking for. I said "I got shot down at Davids, but you don't happen to have anything in silver do you?" She said "Oh I think I have something perfect!" Boy was she right! She picked out the PERFECT dress. I am a small person and I did not want poofy, lacey, taffeta-y massiveness that the girl at the other store tried to put me in. The consultant at I DO pulled the perfect platinum silver mermaid style, sweetheart neck, rouched satin dress. My mom and bridesmaids pulled quite a few dresses, and she was great about letting me try them on for their sake, even though they did continue to pull the princess dresses (thanks mom, you just want a laugh). She didn't pull a single poofy dress; everything she pulled was slim. In the end, the platinum dress she pulled was a bridesmaids dress so it was in my price range, and was easily ordered in a size 2. I was WELL within my budget (which is great because I ended up going waaaaaaay over budget with alterations...) and only had to spend one day dress shopping. Perfect! Side note: they don't let you take pictures until you've confirmed that you're going to purchase. So if you have people not at the fittings that are important to have input from, this isn't the place for you. read more

I Do Bridal - Dress I purchased from I Do. - Bridal Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Amazing experience. Gorgeous store and very helpful staff. I highly recommend coming here. I will be referring everyone to I Do bridal!

I don't think I could say enough positive things about my experience at I Do Bridal! The staff is wonderful, the dresses are great quality, and the prices are very reasonable. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone! When I went in, I really had no idea what I wanted - there were a variety of dress styles that I'd seen in magazines and liked, but had no idea what would look best on me. Luckily, Bridget was there to help me negotiate the mass of silk and tulle. She is so skilled in what she does and her ability to connect with brides-to-be is an amazing - she's obviously worked very hard to cultivate both! We talked a bit about how I envisioned my wedding (vintage, romantic, not stuffy and formal but comfortable and friendly) and my budget. Bridget told me to look through the racks and pull a few dresses that stood out, and she did the same. After trying on my picks, and realizing I had no idea what I was doing (can you say cream puff at the prom!?), I tried on Bridget's suggestions. Each one was more beautiful and more figure-flattering than the last. Finally, she said she'd saved the best for last. Before the dress was even all the way on, I was hooked! It was beyond anything I could have imagined. Because I am LDS/Mormon, I needed a modest dress with cap sleeves and a higher-than-typical neck and back. Bridget, having worked with many LDS brides in the past, was extremely knowledgeable and respectful of the standards and values I uphold. She used swatches of fabric and pins, jackets and sashes to show me some of the many options for adding a sleeves. She even went out of her way to contact the designer to see if they offered a "modesty package" on my particular dress. Again, I can't say enough about Bridget. She was a real blessing to me and I know my wedding wouldn't have been the same without her help! read more

If you want lots of inexpensive options, come here. Just don't come on a weekend. And don't bring a group. And even then, on a weeknight with only one person with you, don't expect the experience to be relaxing. The shop is tiny and packed way too tight. The staff has you dig through racks crammed with dresses to find something you might like. My personal preference would have been to show the stylist a picture (which I did) and have her pull similar styles for me (which she did not). I left the shop with a couple of dresses in mind that I could have considered, but the experience was seriously lacking and I never went back. I'm low maintenance and don't need anything special, but a chair for my mom to sit in would have been nice. The only chairs in there were full with three people from another girl's family. (Who, btw, were sitting 2 feet away from my mirror and commenting on everything I tried). And not being allowed to take pictures is pretty much a deal-breaker. How are you supposed to think about a dress or compare options if you can't take a picture to refer back to later?? read more

Ooooh! I really like this place!!! I arrived on a Saturday, without an appointment (you can't make appointments) and was put on the wait list. Lucky for me, the girl ahead of me never returned for her appt, and I was able to get in within like 25 minutes. I told them what I was looking for, a mermaid gown with some excitement and that I'm a size 18/20. I was really impressed with the selection of plus size gowns available. I was able to try on several gowns that fit my criteria, and could have tried on more if I was open to A-line or ballgowns. They have a ton of beautiful dresses, and the ladies are so nice! I wish I knew the name of the woman who helped me, but she is recently engaged. She helped me into the dresses, had a great attitude, and played photographer so I could think on the dresses over night. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone! read more

I had a marvelous experience at I Do Bridal! I ended up here on my wedding gown weekend because 2 of my friends had gotten their gowns here. I ended up with my gown from here, too! Gorgeous, everything I wanted, and in my price range. Of the stores I went to that weekend, they had the most diverse and quality and affordable selection I saw. Yes, the store is a little small, but you shouldn't bring a huge posse with you when you gown shop anyways. Quality people, not quantity, is what you need when making this big decision. Bridget was my consultant and she was really good at making it not feel like a sales pitch, and making me feel comfortable with the whole experience. She listened to me first, mom second, maid of honor third (important hierarchy of opinions here!) I would say I'd go here again, but I don't intend to be married again. read more

So I am one of the lucky brides that has a comfortable budget, but I did find my "dress" ... only to lose it over the weekend :( They can hold your dress for $100 for every business day (and it would become store credit if you don't choose to get the dress). I had plans to see 2 other stores so I decided to give it a week and not put a hold on it, which for this store I think it's only 2 or 3 business days. They get discontinued dresses, so they only get a handful of sizes... Either way, they were super helpful! I don't think they have much variety, but I was kind of on the specific side of things... I might still go there for my sash if I choose to use one. read more

My daughter found the perfect dress. Mary was fantastic. She was friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic. The whole staff was welcoming. The prices were reasonable and the selection was huge. I would highly recommend this store. read more

From start to finish my experience here was terrible. And it very literally only lasted 12 minutes. I wish I were exaggerating, but I'm not. We were in the store for exactly 12 minutes. I'm a first time bride and I've literally never tried on a wedding dress in my life. This experience is what so many women talk about. They remember the women that helped them envision themselves as brides and who took the time to bring over the perfect veil, or to pin back a sleeve for the perfect silhouette. I did not get that here. I didn't even feel like I had made an appointment and driven over an hour just to be there. From the moment I walked in I felt put off, as if the girl who was helping me couldn't get within a two foot radius of me. She didn't pull gowns off the rack, or offer suggestions. She didn't help me into my dresses, or zip me up. I had to ask my partner to come help me. She didn't offer options or even bother to ask questions about me or what I wanted or my wedding. Nothing. I was as left in the dark as I would have been shopping online. She acted as if touching me or anything I touched would kill her. Was it because I'm gay? Was it because I'm not white? Was it because I'm fat? I can only assume it's one of these three things considering the other bride in the shop was everything opposite of me, and despite having another person helping her already, the girl helping me expressed great interest and knowledge of her wedding, while I struggled to get zipped up by my partner and wasn't asked so much as a "how's your day going?" I left almost in tears because it was that unpleasant of an experience, one I had been looking forward to. I followed that appointment at another boutique bridal shop of the same size, where the single clerk working spent a full hour with me, pulling dresses, helping me into them, bringing over sashes and veils and advising me of all the options available so that I could find (or make) my perfect dress. She was kind, compassionate, and engaged in conversation with me, which was 100% more than I received at my appointment with you guys. Despite the fact that I'll be spending nearly 4 times the cost on my dress from this second shop than I would have from I Do Bridal Too, I would do it over in a heart beat because the single hour I spent there made me feel like a BRIDE. I was smiling ear to ear. I felt wanted there. I felt like a human being. I will never go back to your store, nor will I recommend it. read more

I have now had enough experiences with I DO Bridal that I feel empowered with enough knowledge to write a well-informed review about them. I really really wish it was a better review. I have been a bridesmaid/maid of honor 5 times in the last 5 years. Every time we have come to I DO Bridal. Once we did our bridesmaid dresses here, and the other times the bride just tried on dresses. Here are my thoughts, take them as you will: 1. The bridesmaid dresses are better quality than David's Bridal, but just as unwearable ever again (yes, having a bridesmaid dress you can wear again IS possible, you just have to go to Anthropologie or Nordstrom, etc). It was $250 for a long gown that didn't look that good on anyone. I got several comments later that I looked like I should have been in a high school choir. 2. The bridal gowns can be beautiful here. However, too many of them appear to be made cheaply and/or are not to my taste. 3. THEY DONT LET YOU TAKE PICTURES!!! I hope you have everyone important in your life (BFFs, moms, aunts, etc) with you at your appointment or they wont be able to give you input on this VERY big purchase! When I'm dropping a couple thousand dollars I like to be able to request opinions. You don't have that unique of dresses to where I'll be stealing some KILLER design if I take a picture I DO. 4. If you do happen to have a big entourage there are very limited options of where they can sit. I, for instance, had to sit on the floor because we had a group of THREE. 5. One of the dressing rooms (strangely the only one I've ever ended up in) is right in the main area of the store so people are rack shopping right next to you and sometimes walk past and breeze the curtain to your dressing room partially open. Annoying. 7. The prices aren't great, but aren't horrible. For being local, they just don't do it for me. read more

I don't like I DO Bridal. Although I found a lovely dress there, I didn't want to give them my business. Here are some reasons why I gave I DO Bridal 1 star: 1. I Do Bridal prohibits photographs. Most of my family is out of state, so pictures are important to me. However, they have a very strict no photo policy--this isn't a standard practice for bridal stores. I asked about the no-photo policy, and they were irritated with me for asking questions. Immediately, I was treated like a difficult client. Personally, I don't think that's fair. 2. They change the dress style numbers so that it's difficult to find them elsewhere. While I can appreciate the reasons, I find that distrustful and off putting. 3. They remove the size tags so that you don't know what size you are, probably for the same reasons that they change the item number. I have been losing weight, and I was very interested to know my current dress size, but the salesperson said she couldn't "know for sure." 4. I wasn't able to try on many dresses. In a one hour appointment (which was really about 40 minutes) I tried on 6 dresses. 5. The floors were dirty, and so were the sample dresses. It was like trying on someone else's dirty laundry. 6. I told them my wedding date, and they pulled dresses that I wouldn't be able to order in time for my wedding. 7. Because the dress I loved wouldn't ship in time for my wedding, they offered to sell me a sample dress for the--full retail price--after it had been used as a sample for over a year. The dress was filthy and the beading and lace was flawed. Due to the condition, the salesperson offered to ask the owner of the shop if they could pay for cleaning. Before confirming with me, the shop sent the dress to the cleaners. This makes for a very awkward situation. After giving it a little bit of thought, I knew I wouldn't want a sample dress that had been used for over a year. On top of that, paying full price for a dress in that condition isn't advisable. read more

Hells no. Never again. One star 'cuz I have to, but YOU DON'T DESERVE YOUR STAR!! Here's my story: last year I was a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding. Made an appointment to try on a few styles, and brought my sister with me. I figured this would be a goofy experience, and I wanted a buddy to giggle with. We get there, and are introduced to the lady who's going to be assisting us. She didn't really do much. Grabbed a dress, hung it up, waited outside with her arms folded. Decided on a dress without her help. Fine. I wasn't reeeally bothered by that. THEN, after picking out my dress, it's time for my fitting. Fully clothed. Standing in the middle of the boutique. Jeans. T-Shirt. Jacket. All on. ???? I'm measured, and told what size I ought to get according to their sizing chart. The new chick who is fitting me says, in essence, "looks like you'd fit into the 4, so we'll put you in a 6." ???? I mention that this seems a little awry. If i would fit in the 4 FULLY CLOTHED, why put me in the bigger dress? She points out that it's a little snug in my mid-section. I agreed, but said it may very well be because I'm wearing SEVERAL LAYERS OF CLOTHING. To that, she kindly grabs a chunk of my side squish, and ACTUALLY SAYS "it's just that THIS (grabbing my lil love handle) ISN'T t-shirt." ?????????????????????????????? Oh reeeeeally?? I'm gonna wander into your establishment, receive very little assistance from your sales people, and then be insulted while you do your jobs inaccurately??? I was taken a back. I was trying not to cry, as I wasn't excited about this experience in the first place, and now had been dissed by their customer service ho. I basically decide to appease her, order the bigger size, and get out of there as quickly as possible. I leave. I tear up. Can't help it. After leaving, I reassed the situation with a little more distance. I got worked up, and decided that I would call back and have them switch to the size that would have actually fit me. The rude chick answers the phone and says "Yeah, you were just in here and I have to say, if you change the size, you won't look good." I said "fine. I don't care. I'll risk it," knowing full well they just wanna get some kick-back or commission off the alterations THAT I CAN'T AFFORD. She begrudgingly agrees, tells me I need to return so I can sign some paper-work. I'm a busy bee. School. Work. Very little time between the two. I manage to rush over in between 2 classes a few days later, so that this oh-so-friendly lady can have me "sign some paper work." THAT consists of her crossing out the size 6, writing in the 4, writing in uppercase "AS PER HER REQUEST, NOT OURS" and having me inital it. Reeeeeally???? I had to book it alllllll the way out there so she could try to drive her point home? That could've just as easily been faxed. Shoot, she coulda forged my squiggled initials. Either way, the dress showed up. It fit perfectly. Coulda done without the fiasco. If i ever buy a wedding dress, it sure as heck ain't gonna be from there. read more

Not good. I started out at another bridal salon in Redmond. The woman there was super attentive, helped me try on all my dresses, was patient, suggested things based on what looked good on me, and was totally no-pressure. I have never shopped for a wedding dress before and was tricked into believing this was the way it was going to be. Then I went to I Do. First of all, you have to sign a contract when you arrive - not kidding. The contract states that you will wear undergarments, not take photos, not use a cell phone, realize you only have one hour, and understand that you get three free try-on appointments, then have to pay $50 for every appointment thereafter. Really? As soon as I walked into the gown area, which is behind a curtain, I felt overwhelmed and unhappy. The consultants were rushing around like everyone there was getting married tomorrow or something. My consultant immediately started machine gunning questions at me and then running around the area choosing dresses asking, "How about this one? How about this one?" After we had maybe 10 dresses in the room she hurriedly told me, "Just to let you know, there's not much room left in there for dresses, so..." I told her at the outset that I had found a dress I loved at the other bridal place and was wondering if they also carried it. I told her the designer (Maggie Sottero) and dress name (we'll call it the Kate, because I don't want to give away the exact gown I am wearing) and she was confused and said she didn't think they had it, or that it might go by a different name at their shop...? She eventually found the dress and told me that at their shop, the style is called "Madge." I later Googled "Maggie Sottero Kate" and found the dress immediately - no results for "Maggie Sottero Madge." Why would I Do change the designer's chosen name of the dress? I can only assume so that it is harder to comparison shop, because no other dress shop will know what you're talking about when you call and ask what their price is for the "Madge." Anyhow, the consultant basically shoved me into the dressing room with no further ado and left me on my own to struggle into the dresses. Well, not completely alone - within 30 seconds of closing the curtain she would ask, each time, "You in?" I felt like I was in some sort of team race competition with her and was seriously letting her down with my inability to struggle through layers of taffeta, tulle, and satin within a matter of seconds. Also, as others have noted, the dressing room was SMALL and there was nowhere to put my clothes - I just had to toss them on the floor. The consultant asked what the price difference was between the "Madge" at I Do and at the other salon. I told her it was over $100 less at the other place and she seemed shocked. After trying about 10 or 15 dresses on, I decided to stick with the Madge/Kate. She told me she'd talk to the owner to see if they could price match. I got changed back into my street clothes and my girlfriends and I walked back out into the front of the store, where the consultant was having a hushed conversation with her boss. They wrapped up the conversation and the boss turned to me with a plastic smile and told me the lowest Maggie Sottero would allow that dress to be sold for was $740, and if it was less than that at the other salon, then they were either doing something illegal or it was not an actual Maggie Sottero. Plastic smile still in place, she told me that if I wanted to get a written quote from the other salon, I Do would contact the designer and see what they could do. WHAAAAAT? Are you seriously asking me to basically play Nazi and get the other salon - where I was treated like a human being instead of a walking wallet - in trouble? Um, no. The ONLY reason I am giving them more than one star is because they did have a lot of dresses in a wide selection of sizes. So if that is all you really care about - which is totally fine - then by all means, check them out. Also, to be entirely fair, my consultant WAS nice - I just could not handle the rushed feeling she instilled in me from the moment I walked in. As for me, thanks, I Do, but you can keep your black clad, heavily make-upped consultants and your conveyor belt service to yourself. I'm going elsewhere. read more

I just got my bridesmaids dress from this store and I am aghast. The wedding I am in has 10 bridesmaids, and the bride wanted us to all look different. So we had to choose from a selection of dresses that would be all in the same fabric. So I scheduled an appointment, tried on the dresses and selected one that I wanted. I deliberately chose the one that fit and the size that fit. So I get it today and apparently the staff there convinced the bride that she should order everyone one size larger than they ordered. WHAT??? I took time out of my day, left work early, tried on 13 dresses and they changed the size of my dress? So now I am in a size 18 dress and i normally fit into a 10/12. I am swimming in this thing and it is going to cost god knows how much money to fix and I doubt they will be able to make it look right. I can't believe that they assumed that I was going to try to fit into a size smaller than I should and now I have a dress that cost hundreds of dollars that doesn't fit me. Very unimpressed. read more

This place is awful. When we came for our appointment, everything started out fine. We were greeted by our "consultant" and then taken into the back room. Since I am the maid of honor, I was pulling dresses off the rack to help my friend since we only had a limited amount of time. After I handed the consultant several dresses, she gave me a dirty look and said, "um, ok... we only have an hour SO...." basically insinuating that I was being annoying and I should stop looking. I looked at my watch and we were only 5 minutes into the 1 hour appointment. I decided to ignore her as best I could. Each time my friend came out this "consultant" would display the most insincere smile on her face, but she never said anything about the dress whether it be positive or negative. During the entire 1 hour she was NOT helpful in the least. She pulled maybe 1 or 2 dresses off the rack for my friend. When we had 20 minutes of our appointment left, my friend asked the consultant if she had any other dress recommendations for her to try on. The consultant said, "Oh, well I could just write down the ones you liked." Way to skirt the issue and try to get us the hell out of there. Finally, my friend asked about a specific dress she saw online. The consultant pointed out a dress that looked similar by the same designer then stated, "but you said you didn't want to try it on." Then my friend replied, "oh, well i guess i should at least see it." Brandi's reply? "Oh sure, I'll write that down for you to try on at your next visit." We never said we would return for another visit. This was when we had 10 minutes left in our 1 hour appointment. These are just a few of the rude interactions we had with our "consultant," hardly a consultant at all if you ask me. She was passive aggressive, unaccomodating, and a complete waste. She gets paid to throw clips on the back of dresses all day long, because that is literally all she did. BTW her name is BRANDI. Avoid her and this bridal shop at ALL COSTS. When I later called to complain about our experience there, the assistant manager told me I should have approached her in person at the time so that I could confront Brandi face to face. GREAT ADVICE. She was not compassionate or understanding in the least. Again, why have an assistant manager who can't do her job? This bridal shop is a DUMP, I would stay away. read more

Went here to try on dresses. They Make you sign a disclosure at the begining that doesn't allow you to take pictures. First off how do bridal stores make any money if you can't take pictures. Not like their dresses were super exclusive. Girls want to go home ponder on the look and feel and selection and then make a choice. It's rare i think that a bride would try on a dress and at the store while clamped into an oversized dress you decide then and there it's the one you want. I mean dresses are not cheap. So in addition to no pictures they were very strict about the 1 hour try on session. And god forbid you forget the mental image you had about the dress and want to come back and try something back on. They will charge you $50 and limit you to 30 min max. I have to admit, they had some good choices, but I felt like i running against the clock.. which I was. rushed through the rack grabbed as many as i could and we rushed to get in and out of them as fast as possible. It was sort of like the feeling I get from those news broadcastings of walmart on black friday. I felt their prices were kind of average but a bit on the higher end in comparison to other places I've seen and prices of similar dresses. I got a quote from one of the exact dresses at a different location for cheaper, plus they will allow me pictures and multiple visits at the other places. I may come back to look at their accessories, they seemed to have a good variety there, but I wasn't shopping for these yet. The consultant kept telling me, well if you want to look at the dress you can look them up online later. Only one of the dresses I couldn't find online. When I emailed the store for clairification, they never returned my email. I didn't have the best experience here, granted I did go during one of the hottest days in Seattle (car said 97 when we got back in). The place has no AC and we were all sweating. We were offered water, but I half didn't even want to take it, since it took the consultant about 5-10 min to go get water, and that cut into my precious time! read more

I went with a friend of mine to try on a dress for the second time at this shop. While the shop is definitely small, I don't think that is a deal-breaker. When my friend came out of the dressing room in her gown, I had been on my cellphone checking Facebook/killing time and when the consultant came out, she barked at me "we don't allow photos until you purchase the dress!". Whoa, lady! Way to start our appointment with the worst customer service in the world. And guess what? It didn't get better. She was cool, aloof, and as unhelpful as she could be when we asked questions. We were comparing the dress to a picture from another store that my friend had gone (they allowed pictures!) and were stating the things we did and didn't like between the two, and the consultant just kept trying to push the other dress down. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Clearly they just want the sale and don't care about the person. I understand it's probably not an easy job, but my God, give your clients a chance before you just decide to write them off. My friend will not be purchasing her dress from this shop and I will never even consider stepping inside the doors again for myself or any of my other friends who are getting married. There are plenty of other stores around the Seattle area that give amazing service and just want you to be happy. THAT is customer service. read more

I wanted to like this place after seeing their booth at the bridal show and driving by the store several times. I had also heard good things about the store but after my experience I was less than pleased. First, the store is very small so it makes it awkward when you are trying on dresses. It doesn't feel very intimate or personal for such a special occasion when you have random people coming back and looking at you. Second, I was very turned off when my sales girl started asking me about my budget in the main part of the store In front of other shoppers. That is a conversation that should be done in private or over the phone when I schedule my appt. Third, I didn't like how my sales girl didn't pick anything out for me; she basically had me pick whatever I wanted when I really didn't know what they had in their store. Isn't your job to find me what I want? Not just stand by my room and look at me when I come out. Lastly, this is the worst part that my Mom told me later, other employees would walk by room, point at all of the dresses that I was trying on, say 'Are you serious?!' in a snotty tone and roll their eyes. And my sales girl agreed with the other employee. Excuse me for having a lot of dresses! Maybe if you did your job and pulled me options I wouldn't have grabbed so many! My Mother and I ended up getting my dress at a different salon that had the same dress I found at I Do Bridal. And mind you, the dress at the other salon was more expensive! That's how bothered we were by our service at I Do Bridal. We would rather spend more money than give them our business. Also, it's very off-putting when you send an email before the appt with a laundry list of rules. Your dresses aren't any different or special than any other salon. I would also typically refer to employees of a bridal salon as 'my consultant' but that status is too good for the service that I received. read more

I think now I know why Bridezillas come out in hiding! Weddings are stressful enough as it is so bridal shops should know this! I came in here for the first time with the bride and the other bridesmaids to try on a possible bridesmaid dress. We had an appointment so I thought we would have time to try on the dresses one more time and go through everything else again before deciding but we didn't. We had more customer service at David's Bridal even without an appointment! We walked in there and the whole store was crowded! This Asian woman whose initials on my receipt says KJ totally rushed me into trying the dress on. It seemed everyone else had decided on this dress so I felt like there was nothing else I could say about it so we decided to buy the dress. When we started paying, the price was much more than we were told and KJ just then mentioned how we had to pay a rush fee since the wedding will be in less than 14 weeks. That was fine until she suggested a dress size up which I would have paid extra for so I didn't but after ordering the dress, the receipt had said there were no extra charges for bigger dress sizes with the specific dress that we picked! From her rushing, she couldn't even get that information correct! The whole boutique felt like a thrift store with all the dresses crammed in one place! I didn't really care about not being able to take pictures of the dress but at least have some sort of customer service. I wasn't asking for a glass of champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, I just wanted some time to think about the dress while going through the racks during our appointment. I really did not like my experience there and I probably won't even try to look for my future wedding dress in there even if it was the last bridal shop on earth. read more

I already bought my wedding dress before I brought one of my bridesmaids here to search for some nice bridesmaid dresses. IDB was unquestionably the worst bridal experience I've had in planning this shindig. Seriously. Not only was the salesperson completely unhelpful -- we had to find every single dress we wanted to try on ourselves, attempt to clip them so they'd look relatively decent, etc -- but she actually lied to us. We picked out a couple of dresses we were okay with, all of them Alfred Angelo, (which we weren't allowed to take photos of to show the out-of-state and out-of-country bridesmaids what they were getting into) and generally felt pretty inconclusive about the whole thing, so we were going to leave and go check out some other shops. Well, the salesperson actually told us, "Well, tomorrow is Sunday, and Monday is the start of Chinese New Years, and all the factories shut down for three weeks. So if we don't get your order in TODAY, then you won't get the dresses until a week before your wedding, even if you pay the rush fees." Uh.... What? That's completely stupid, and when we went to the Alfred Angelo store in Tukwila later (five stars for them!!) and asked them about it, they looked at me like I had three heads and completely denied that any such thing had or would ever happen. Overall, I felt really pressured to buy by a woman who had absolutely no interest in helping me actually find anything we wanted. One star? This place deserves zero. read more

I Do is great. I called and asked for Bridget based other people's Yelp reviews and ya'll were not wrong! She makes you look beautiful in everything and a good bridal consultant is seriously worth her weight in gold. The selection here is really good. (More than Calla and Cicada and I think more than Cynderellie's Closet too.) I found The Dress here. It is totally gorg, and I'm SO excited. The Dress was $1100, but I think it is one of their most expensive dresses and it is a design made specifically for I Do so don't worry if your budget is $700 (or less) you will totally find something. My only beef is that the changing rooms are tiny and the lighting is pretty bad. Compared to other places we went, I felt like a little attention to the details of the rooms would go a long way. You can feel like you're in a telephone booth being attacked by tulle. They don't let you take pictures (MAJOR bummer) and you absolutely have to have an appointment. That said, they can usually fit you in same-day. But they have an amazing selection, great prices and great employees so its worth it. A great neighborhood shop with the best selection I've seen. I would definitely recommend starting at I Do, you just might find the perfect dress right off the bat and save yourself a lot of hassle! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but they gave me no choice to write a review like this. I had initially put in an order for my bridal gown. During the payment process, a salesgirl told me it would be a 50% down even with a custom hem. Another salesgirl intruded my conversation and she said they required full payment plus $100 for a custom hem. I went ahead and paid in full. On the contract, the salesgirl marked that I paid for a "Platinum" gown and $100.00 for Casablana custom hem, so I was never quite sure whether I paid for Casablanca gown that got renamed as "Platinum" by I Do Bridal. However, I had a weird feeling about this place as I was driving away. It was that little gut feeling that told me something wasn't right. I drove to a different bridal shop and found out that the manufacturer Casablanca has been offering free custom hem. Unlike I Do Bridal, this other shop honored the manufacturer's offer of complimentary custom hem and told me they wouldn't charge me if I ordered the gown with them. I immediately called I Do Bridal and demanded a refund. I got it at the next business day. In addition, I sent them emails expressing my disappointment in them for charging me a service even when the manufacturer offers it for free. I highly encourage that you shop around and explore your options before you buy anything. You could find a gorgeous dress for around $1,000 at many places as long as you shop around and compare prices, service and quality. I usually give good reviews, but I just couldn't add any additional stars for this place. I am very budget-conscious even though I have disposable middle class income. I'd much rather donate my money to charity than paying for something that the manufacturer offers for free. And by the way, I ended up buying a different brand and style at another store for $1,000. The dress at IDB was over $1,300, and so I saved over $300. This other store also allowed me to put 50% down. My family said the dress I bought at this other store looked ten times better than the one I almost got at IDB, and my family didn't even know about my whole fiasco with IDB. The take-home message for all you gals is: SHOP AROUND! It's not that hard and you will enjoy your dress and learn a lot. Good luck in your dress search. It is so worth it to wait and be patient. read more

If you want the worst experience with trying on dresses go here. My helper was nice, cracked some jokes but the contract and rules they make you sign when you walk in is LAME. Dressing rooms are small, store is small and cramped and they overbook. Was not impressed. My experience at Davids Bridal was better than this place. This was NOT the experience that a bride she go through.... No food/drinks No photos There were more rules too..but I was so distracted...I tried on a few dresses very quickly but really all I wanted to do was walk out because there was no way that I was going to buy anything here..... read more

Katie & the team at I Do Bridal saved my wedding from disaster! I met Katie about a year ago, at my first appointment. She's friendly, kind and extremely helpful AND can corset you in a dress in 30 seconds (I kid you NOT). I told her what I was looking for in a dress (LACE & CORSET), and immediately she picked out 10 dresses for me to try on. Let me tell you IT IS NOT EASY TO CORSET A DRESS - but Katie was able to lock me in a dress in seconds. I fell in love with the 3rd dress! I went home to sleep on in and think about my budget. A few days later Katie followed-up with me via email. I told her that I was still looking.... A few months later Katie emails me again -- I had to tell her the truth. I was persuaded by family members to order a couture dress from a family friend. Fast forward 9 months later, she checks on me to see how the wedding planning was going....who does that??? Soo awesomely nice, right?! 15 DAYS before the wedding..... So, the couture dress I ordered from a family friend? It arrived at my doorstep literally 15 days before my wedding (thanks to U.S. Customs). With ZERO time for major alterations to the length (4 inches too short) and many tears shed....I emailed Katie in desperation to see if there was any possible way to buy the dress off-the-rack (the originally dress I fell in love with). Within 15-minutes, Katie called and emailed me back with the best news EVER. She said to come in right away to try on the dress and that she could have the dress shipped within a few business days. I come in and try the dress on. It's perfect. Katie and Jen tells me it can be shipped within a few business days. We place the order and the dress arrives in time for my wedding. This is why I crown Katie and the team at I Do Bridal my Awesome Wonder Women!!! read more

There are better places around. I DO Bridal requires appointments, but there are still so many people there at once, it's crowded, loud and warm. They have definitely fit a ton of dresses in a small space, which is both good and bad. Dressing rooms are very small. The staff was friendly and helpful when we were there. One good thing is that they have a pretty good selection of bridesmaid dresses. Since I found my dress elsewhere, we used most of my appointment to look at those and have my bridesmaids try on a few. read more

I HEART Alicia and I Do Bridal! I shopped for a wedding dress here by myself back in November. Alicia was awesome and sweet and made me feel so comfortable. I didn't find a dress (at that time), but the experience was great. A few months later I went back twice with two different friends who are also getting married. Two more great visits! Then, a few weeks ago, the dress that I was having custom made went totally wrong. It was such a disaster and I was so bummed. However, I went back to I Do Bridal and Alicia, once again, was amazing and helped me with a dress I had my eye on...and I bought it right away. I had to put a "super" rush order on the dress because my wedding was a little over 2 months away and the dress company estimated that it would be delivered to I Do in exactly 2 months. Well, last week I received a chipper message from Alicia that my dress is coming in early! I'm a happy bride! The dresses at I Do Bridal are reasonably priced and they have a huge selection. I highly recommend it!! read more

The first time I came in, the experience went well. They gave me time to rummage through the racks and pick something I liked. I chose three I liked and decided to write them down and come back. Second time I came in, they pulled the three that I liked. I still wasn't sure, and wanted to look around more. They gave me a dirty look, acted like that was going to be a problem, and really rushed me through it. I didn't find any other dresses of interest. Third time was horrible. They wouldn't let me look at other dresses, not even for a few minutes, basically saying I needed to choose between the three I picked out the first time (months ago). I felt rushed the entire time. Fitting room was crammed...no pictures...you have to pay to come in after 3 tries...even though they won't let you look at other dresses after the first try. Only plus is that they are reasonably priced with a decent selection. It's best to come in knowing exactly what you're looking for. read more

I did not have a good experience. I used to live in Wallingford and had always dreamed of shopping for my wedding gown at I Do Bridal. I made an appointment for a Saturday and brought my Matron of Honor along with me. When we arrived the place seemed more like a busy nail salon then a bridal shop. The girl at the desk was obviously busy doing paperwork and basically ignored us for the first 5 minutes we stood there. When she finally noticed us, she had us fill out a quick sign-in sheet and we waited for our consultant. There was no place to sit down or even stand so we tried to basically squeeze ourselves in to the store window and stay out of the way while we waited. So before I even met my consultant I felt rushed and unwanted. I only had 1k to spend and so I already feared they wouldn't have much in my price range. When I met my consultant she showed me what dresses were in my price range which was about 10 or 15 dresses in the entire store. Since my budget was only 1k she suggested I try on bridesmaid dresses since most of them could be ordered in white. I was open to the idea but I admit I didn't expect my first experience at a bridal shop would be trying on bright red bridesmaid dresses. So that was a little heartening. My consultant seemed friendly but she also seemed disinterested and distracted. She didn't suggest many dresses and barely said a word when I tried each dress on. All around I felt unwelcome and rushed. Maybe the experience is different when you have 5-10k to spend on a dress. And if you're one of those brides, congratulations to you. I on the other hand had a better experience at a chain store like David's Bridal than the boutique in Seattle I had such high hopes for. read more

I do?? Um, more like I DON'T recommed shopping for your wedding gown here!!! This shop is NOT for the 32 year old bride with an income as it appeared to cater more to a college age bride on a tight budget. The shop was crowded at our appoinment time and the gowns were in bad shape, making it look like a bridal thrift store. On a positive note, my consultant did absolutely the best she good and was very very sweet so our customer service was a good experience. read more

Quick thoughts from my wedding gown appointment at I Do Bridal: - I found the dressing rooms to be very small and impersonal. - The dresses were not organized by style or price, which I believe makes for more productive browsing. - The dresses were crammed together on the racks so it was difficult to see how special each one was. - My consultant did not know the inventory very well. When I shared dress features and fabrics that I was most interested, she was not able to recommend a single one. + There was a very good selection of moderately priced gowns. read more

I hated my experience... First: We had to look for gowns ourselves. The lady only helped me zipping it up! Second: they charged me $150 to get my dress faster, even though I went there 4 months before the wedding. Hidden costs? I was REALLY frustrated with that. Third: when I picked up my dress, they looked like they wanted to get rid of me. For the price I paid my gown, I would have expected better customer service. They just didn't seem to care. Go elsewhere! read more

Second visit back at I DO Bridal was better than the first. This time I was assigned to Mary Catherine and she was 'OMG' awesome! I cannot express how grateful I was to have her by my side at ALL times. She didn't budge once outside my fitting room (unlike other places..) and was there for me. I had my sister with me to grab as many dresses to try again (last dress I thought I wanted was sold but I realized my heart wasn't set on it) and Mary Catherine was able to fit them all into the fitting room for me. Each dress I was able to pin-point what I liked and didn't like and ALMOST felt like giving up on finding THE dress. Mary Catherine assured me that there was a dress for me and she was determined to find it. She really listened on what I wanted and knew exactly the dress for me. She had another associate help her pull the dress that she had in mind and the moment she helped me into it, I knew it was the ONE! The dress was exactly what I had wanted and visioned and I couldn't believe how perfect it was. I didn't even look at the price tag till later and was happy that it was below my budget even for a designer dress! The moment I stepped out of the fitting room, both my sister and cousin stated that it was definitely me. :) I didn't buy the dress at that visit but I went back for my third visit (a week later) and saw the dress waiting for me to try on again. I've had dreams about it every single night for that week. When Mary Catherine helped me into it, I squealed that it was mine!! As you can assume, I bought it. haha.. Mary Catherine was amazing and I truly cannot thank her enough! For any brides that gets assigned to her, you will be taken care of. :) read more
