Stunning Atmosphere and Fantastic Couture Selection…read more I felt like I was floating on a cloud. The lighting and atmosphere were warm and bright. A stylist with a blue hair streak helped me realize that a sweetheart neckline is the most flattering for my body shape. She truly understood both my body and my style as she selected the dresses for me. Throughout the process, she was respectful and supportive while helping me try on each dress. I love this place!

when I scheduled an appointment for my daughter, I was asked what our budget was. It was really…read moredisappointing to find out that the very first dress that she put on and fell in love with was $500 more than the max budget. The sleeves were an additional $350. The veil was an additional $350. The shipping was around $100. Alterations were estimated to be between $500-$800. I was offered a VIP package that would include steaming, a garment bag, a reduction in shipping to $80 and a discount on accessories of 10% and the price of that was $175. The total was roughly $2000 above the $3000 budget....... I share this so that you can keep these additional charges in mind as you budget. I encourage you to set boundaries early with your stylist and be clear on an out the door budget. I told them that we wanted to reevaluate the budget and make sure that we could make adjustments in other areas to be able to fit these unexpected costs into the overall budget. And that's when the high-pressure sales started.... We were basically told that if we didn't order the dress right then, that there wouldn't be enough time to receive it before her wedding. That really rubbed me the wrong way and I felt like it was just a sales tactic to close the deal on the same day. We left the store feeling disappointed. I got online to start looking for other shops to make an appointment at and that's when I came across the website called Bridal Closet. I saw that they carried the same designer and reached out to them to ask about their pricing structure for the same dress. I was shocked when the invoice that I received for the dress, veil and sleeves came in $2000 less than the price that Simply Blush quoted. As a consumer, I'm more inclined to pay a higher price at a small owned business when customer service is great but this is a time where I'm thankful that I didn't let emotions lead decision-making. We saved almost $2000 by locating the dress online. Bridal Closet was more transparent and explained that the designer has a $400 tariff charge for all of their dresses. They informed me that the dress was part of the fall 2025 release and would not ship until the end of August. They gave us free expedited shipping, a free garment bag with hanger and I did not have to pay sales tax. I highly encourage you to explore your options before making decisions. I will say that the second star that I gave this rating is because they were easy to schedule with, had a great variety to choose from and the shop was clean and organized well. My daughter had a good experience with the stylist during the fitting.

The dresses were beautiful, the staff was helpful...BUT I would never do business here again or…read morerefer anyone here. We understood that the gown was being ordered. What they don't tell you is that everything is special ordered. My daughter had chosen a veil they grabbed from a rack and we were not made aware it would also be a special order, so when she changed her mind we were not able to refuse it or return it. I find it ridiculous that they don't allow you to change your mind after you leave the store, especially for something that is not custom like the veil. Buyer beware!

They only take so many appointments at one time so it's very personal and not a mad house compared to other popular bridal shops. As someone who gets overwhelmed easily this was such a relief. My associate Riley was such an angel, I could tell she really cared about my experience and made me feel heard and helped me articulate different things about the dresses to narrow down what I did or didn't like. She and the other associate who popped in occasionally (I didn't catch her name, but she was so wonderful to) really helped me get into dresses and made sure they looked right on me, and as a plus size bride with fewer options typically, they really did a wonderful job. They made me feel like I belonged and was deserving of a great experience and beautiful gown which meant a lot to me. They ran around pulling gowns, showing me skirts and using fabric to change the color - it was really cool and fun! I am so glad we went with this shop and they should be proud of how they train their employees, they were genuinely so so kind, caring, and knowledgeable. I can't thank them enough, and would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone looking for a truly individual, private, and well rounded shopping experience.

We tried on a few dresses and found one I really liked! I wasnt sure I would find "the one" so quickly so we went to a few other stores, and ended up coming back at the end of the day to order the dress! They took my measurements and recommended that I order the dress custom cut from the designer, which was a great suggestion (less work altering the dress). I received the dress a few months later and set out to have it altered. Once that was done, I took the dress back to Maggi Bridal were they steamed at no cost to me.
