My only regret was not being able to use them for my dress as I am a picky person. Otherwise, this is the go to shop for weddings especially if you're looking for a positive experience and a beautiful dress for your special day! They also do tuxedo fittings and rentals. I am happy to report that my fiancé, father and his groomsmen will be likely be using them for a tuxedo rental as they have a wonderful selection.

If you haven't been shopping yet for your wedding dress DO NOT go here first. If you are not a very outspoken, very strong willed person who can advocate for yourself pray you get a different consultant than I did because they clearly don't train them or give them a guideline of what to do at the start of an appointment. All she did was ask my size and let us browse a very small rack of unorganized dresses. She pulled things from the rack that my family had pointed out with no regard to price point or size. Their strapless bras are so stretched out ask for like 3 sizes down or else you'll be falling out of it. When I tried to give her some description of what I liked about certain dresses and what I disliked about them she pulled dresses that were so far off the mark I saw one and immediately said no, but my mom said maybe so instead of listening to me, the bride, she put it on the rack of dresses. She also wasn't pulling out "no" dresses from the dressing room so I was increasingly frustrated as it got hotter and hotter in the dressing room until I nearly had a meltdown at which point another consultant stepped in and FINALLY asked what I was actually looking for. This got us much closer to the mark but still not close enough but I was ready to be done at that point. I made a follow up appointment to go try the one I did like back on but I knew the alterations I would want to do to it to make it what I wanted would get pricier than just finding what I was looking for so in a panic I made an appointment with David's Bridal the night before and thankfully found exactly what I wanted.

I was torn between 2 and still not even sure. but it was clear they were done showing me anymore options. even though I wasn't really in love with one. the dress I did pick was gorgeous, don't get me wrong. it required a lot of alterations because I bought off the rack. I'm a size 8, they sold me a size 14. they assured me the seamstress could take it in and fit it to me. Due to my timing, I'd decided to take their word for it and paid $1500. when I took it to my seamstress (who I highly recommend, Nancy at the right fit In Brattleboro), she looked at me like I was insane. she said this isn't the first time I've seen a dress come from this store so big And that the owner, she shouldn't have sold you this. it took her essentially rebuilding the corset to bring it in 6 inches for it to fit me. Hours of labor. Removing and reattaching lace, we also added some straps and hemmed it. it cost $600 and that's because she capped it for me because in order to get it perfect, she donated to me some hours. the dress looked stunning after she did her work. a few days leading up to my wedding, I get a text from alibers saying that they heard my wedding was cancelled and that they could take my dress off my hands. first of all, my wedding was not cancelled. second of all, why would I give them back the dress I paid for and had in my possession. when I said where did you hear that?! she replied oops, wrong person! even though in the text she said my name. overall, got the job done. wasnt overly impressed with any part of the experience. I'd probably go somewhere else if I were a bride or recommending to someone else.

And she definitely had me clipped into those dresses very securely which I appreciated! There isn't a huge selection but there is a good variety! From what I understood Marianne has started her own line as well so dresses from that line are a little more modern than the others. They have the dresses organized by silhouette and you can go through and pick the ones you want to try on and afterwards the attendant can recommend dresses to you based on the ones that you picked too in case you missed anything! The prices seemed to range but nothing was over $2500 that I saw!

I felt so comfortable in it and also very excited - which I hadn't found yet in a dress! I thought they had an awesome selection of dresses and I tried on multiple that I really loved - which is more than larger bridal stores I've been to where I didn't find any that I loved! Marianne also had me try on some veils and I totally changed my mind about veil length - which was super helpful and got me excited. It was also great to get the dress at a discounted price and get to go home with it that day. Overall - would very much recommend!

I started out my wedding dress shopping by looking online (which maybe most brides do?) at stores…read morein the area and I really had no idea what designer I wanted, but I knew I wanted bridal separates. I was having a top/bodysuit handmade and just wanted a bottom to complete the look. It was definitely tougher than I thought it would be to find just a skirt! But then I remembered hearing and seeing "Your Dream Bridal" on Instagram and decided that I would support a fellow woman-owned business and make my first appointment with Malinda. Well, after that initial appointment, I never needed or wanted to look anywhere else! I told Malinda what I was looking for and even though she didn't have any separates in her shop at the moment, she would probably be getting some in in a couple months. So she helped me try on a bunch of dresses she had just so I could get an idea for the look I was trying to nail down. It was so helpful! Malinda books you the entire shop when you come in and gives you her undivided attention. Her knowledge of styles, designers and comfort level of different dresses (which was key for me!) is endless. I left with confidence that I would find the skirt I was dreaming of... and a couple months later, she emailed me to tell me that she got the separates in and we booked another appointment for that coming week! I only had to try on one to know it was the skirt I wanted. I did try on another for the heck of it, but really just to confirm that the first one was IT. I cannot wait to wear my dress this coming September! I love knowing that my dress will be unlike any other and that I could do it through an amazing, local, woman-owned small business. Malinda is the embodiment of #girlboss! Can't thank you enough, lady!

I'll start by saying Malinda has an amazing selection of unique dresses, but I guess that's where…read moremy positive review ends. Everybody else on here seems to have had a great experience, so I guess Malinda hated me or something because my whole experience with her was really awkward and unpleasant. There was even a bit of lying involved. I don't like putting myself back into this negative space, but here's the story. I found a dress I loved at a designer in Brooklyn (Rebecca Schoneveld), and I tried it on at the designer's boutique shop there. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had with clothes. The store told me they had a seller in Massachusetts I could get in touch with to try on dresses again locally (bc I'm based in MA). That's how I found Malinda's store, and I got in touch. She told me that she was having a trunk show of Rebecca's dresses, and told me I could sign up, so I did. This ended up being a lie. I was excited for the trunk show, but I got there... no Rebecca Schoneveld trunk show! She had ordered the ONE dress the I liked and that was it. I didn't mention it because I felt awkward about it, and I tried that dress on again, along with another one from Malinda's collection. I still loved the Rebecca Schoneveld dress, but wasn't sure I was ready to buy right then (it was still way over a year before my wedding day!). I was also on the phone with my mom, who wanted me to wait. But even though I didn't feel ready to buy, Malinda pushed hard. I get that's her job as a sales person... but doesn't my experience also matter to her? "But isn't it too early to buy the dress?" I asked, "It's way over a year before my wedding..." She said that the dress wouldn't be ready until about Dec/Jan, 6 months months before my date in September. (Obviously I didn't want to hold onto the dress for an entire year... that's excessive.) Anyways, I was uncomfortable and was alone (and--to take full responsibility--I did think this dress was great), so I agreed. The dress did not come in December/January. It came in late august/early september, over a YEAR before my actual wedding day, which was what I wanted to avoid... Malinda immediately called me about picking it up, which I responded that I would prefer is she could hold onto it until at least when she said it would be ready. She agreed reluctantly. December rolls around and Melinda immediately hits me up with phone calls and messages telling me I need to rush to her store to pick up the dress for tax reasons. It was an incredibly busy time for me with the holidays, and the first time I scheduled to stop by didn't work out, and she said she "couldn't hold onto the dress much longer" and that she'd be happy to ship it to me. An hour after that terse email, she sent another really rude email: "Next week is crazy with holidays and brides. Let me know as soon as you can when you can come and pick up your dress or I will need to mail it to you so let me know what address. I mail FedEx with signature." Wow Malinda! Great to know you have ZERO time for me, even though I dropped over $2K at your store! Not to mention, the reason I got it from you, a local retailer in MA as opposed to the amazing, wonderful, heavenly Brooklyn boutique is so I can try it on again in front of a human being before I take it home, and not have it shipped to me! So rude. So awful. I emailed her back with the following: "I would really like to pick it up as opposed to shipping... Isn't there supposed to be a process of trying it on? I feel like you've rushed me through this whole process and it's actually really unpleasant, making what should have been a really magical purchase something very transactional and cold." After that, she turned up the sweetness and when I went to the store, she was just insanely fake and awkward and I just felt totally uncomfortable trying on the dress, which actually looked awkward in this new size 4, as the waistline was far lower in the larger size I tried on. Sigh. Hopefully some of this can be mitigated by a seamstress in alterations. I don't know what I did to deserve that treatment. I wish Malinda the best. I get she's a saleswoman with a family to feed, but dang, is it worth ruining people's experience? She made buying a wedding dress a very predatory, transactional and cold experience--literally everything you don't want in this happy time.
