    I can't express how amazing the bridal studio has been. Not only have they made the experience of…read moreshopping for a wedding dress personalized to each bride but also fun. I was bit worried about wedding dress shopping but they understood my vision and price range and went above and beyond to help me obtain the dress of my dreams. Nate and team were quick to respond and help me with all parts of the process. Even when I had to move my wedding date they helped expedite the dress to arrive early and even helped me find seamstresses that could help me in a short time. This was not something most places would do. Overall i have no words to how amazing they were to work with.

    I have been writing various places through my bridal experience. I feel so sad giving this place 3…read morestars. The inside is BEAUTIFUL and the ladies, that work there are so kind. I came here, looking for a veil only. Originally, they were not even going to let me try on my dress with the veil because I did not purchase my dress there. We tried to be understanding, but there was literally nobody else in the store that could've possibly seen my dress. We even asked if we could just try it on in the fitting room so that no other customers would be able to see it if they came in. The girl working went and asked the owner and she made an exception, Which we were very grateful for. But then my veil was ordered wrong:( I was very in love with one veil, but the length of another. They told me since it was the same designer they could basically combine the two. We double triple quadruple checked and they reassured us. It was possible. I even checked over text message, They reassured me again. It would be correct. My veil showed up indeed, NOT correct. They didn't really take responsibility. They blamed the website for the error. I kind of expected since it was a designer for them to call or message the designer directly, to be entirely positive since I was told it had never been done before. The only options to fix it that were given to me, were basically to receive a refund, take the incorrect veil home or purchase a new one. No discount was offered. No compensation. Mind you, I waited 4 weeks for my veil which I know is awesome turn around time. BUT I did let them know that my wedding was very soon, and they assured me the correct veil would arrive in time. Now I am practically out of time, with no veil. Again, the store is very pretty from what I saw, they have beautiful dress dresses. But I am a little annoyed at their lack of accountability and problem-solving.

    We didn't have a good experience with the service, the lady working told me I wasn't going to find…read morea dress in time, and to kiss doing bridals goodbye. We got to the appointment early and asked to look at the selection - there wasn't a good selection for me. Everything was 5x sizes too big & not a lot of dresses to pick from. We told her after seeing the selection - we weren't interested in trying anything on and we wanted to cancel our appointment. She asked to see my dress inspo, so when I showed her the dress I wanted, she laughed and told me that the store had "invented" that dress, but had to make changes to it. In my mind, you don't have to make changes to a dress you invented - you have to make changes to a dress that you copycat so you don't get in trouble from the original designer. After all of this, she told us we would still have to pay a $50 fee even though we showed up an hour early, and weren't interested in anything. Mind you, there was no one in the store other than us. I have never written a yelp review before, but this interaction put a bad taste in my mouth & tainted what was supposed to be a good experience. I would recommend going somewhere else if you are wanting a better selection and service.

I've been…read moreto some other bridal shops before, and while none of them have been terrible, this was probably my favorite experience. First of all, I called at maybe 3:30 on a Saturday to see if I could just come in and look around. They told me they had availability at 4pm. They closed at 5pm, but I had no idea until it was well past 5 and I asked them what time they closed. They did not rush me at all! I was a little back and forth on my top dress. Plus my mom wasn't there, and she wouldn't let me commit to it without her there. They were totally understanding and let me schedule another tentative appointment that next Monday. (They even let me FaceTime my mom and take pics of the dresses I had on). When Monday morning hit, my mom wanted me to try on some other options, so we hit another shop before going back to The Bride's Shop. I found a dress I absolutely fell in love with, but wanted to try on that first dress again just to be sure I could commit. Before we could even head back to the Bride's Shop, they called me and asked if I wanted to come back in, and had the dress ready to go when I got there! My mom, however, spotted the same dress I fell in love with at the first store, and they let me hop from one dress to the other as many times as I wanted in order to decide. Kennan was so patient and helpful! She put multiple different accessories on me so I could get the full effect. I would highly recommend going to the Bride's Shop!

I told them my budget for a VEIL was $900 and they were very unhelpful because of my budget. They showed me 2 veils. Didn't really ask or ofter to show anything else. I can't imagine a bridal shop would not have any veils for less than $1000. Made all kinds of comments about my budget. I was not happy and wanted to leave.

The added fabric wasn't even the same color white and was super obvious in pictures and needed to be heavily edited. I paid for express shipping from the designer that was not delivered on the timeline they provided, nor was I updated about it being late, which put unnecessary stress on the wedding vendors I had hired. On top of everything, The attendant also made comments to me in the dressing room about my body that me feel really self conscious. I have several friends who bought from here as well and had similarly bad experiences. I've never actually heard of anyone having a positive experience here.

They are all very nice and wonderful people they are great to work with as well! The store has better dresses than any other stores out there! That I've been to!! For all of the negative comments I think you are all wrong! If you were in their shoes and you were a full time owner And you got all these negative comments how would you feel? Maybe comment on what they can achieve more on versus the negative hate that you're projecting onto this boutique to other people! Isn't there a more settling way to comment? Think about what you're gonna say before you react to it! You should be thankful that you actually own a dress from this boutique! Some people can't even afford to have a beautiful dress for their own wedding! Hit me on Instagram if you need any portraits taken with their dresses and other accessories etc.! stay positive and love life! IG @wildcrazyinsane_

    Tl;dr - great selection, dress came DAYS before my wedding, wasn't what was promised, awful…read morecommunication. The one lesson I have learned from this is to always read the Yelp reviews. We went to Offwhite bc they had an available appt time at short notice when some friends of mine came into town. They had a beautiful selection and the associate that helped me (young, short brown hair) was awesome. Followed my lead and feedback, showed me how we could make dresses work, explained the process to me, was accommodating of family on FT. Just great. Loved her and found a few dresses I really loved. Came back a couple weeks later with my parents and sister and was helped with a very different associate (older, blonde). She was rude and disrespectful, and made a lot of unkind comments about members of the Church (of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), mostly about modesty, knowing that I am a member looking to buy and alter one of their dresses to be modest. She also opened the curtain on me while I was undressed bc she never gave me the next dress to try on. Despite her rude comments and super pushy attitude (her opinion is more important than mine I guess???), we bought one of the dresses bc I fell in love and the other associate had assured us that they could change the neckline easily in production. The older lady drew up something that resembled what we described for the neckline and we trusted her and ordered the dress. This was in November. Both associates told us the dress would be here before April (wedding on the 28th). There was almost no communication so I kept calling and asking, they always said the same thing up until the last week of March. April 7th I texted and asked for an update.... "It will be finished this weekend and shipped next week" "shipping time?" "5-7 days" so now we are looking at April 14th or 15th at the earliest??? No more contact until my mom shows up at the shop last week. "We're expecting it next week, Monday or Tuesday, unless it gets stuck in customs but I have a good feeling it will come Monday". Today is Wednesday, I texted yesterday and got no response. I'm getting married in a week and have no dress or idea of what my dress even looks like. Maybe it is pretty, maybe not. Maybe it fits, maybe not. I guess we'll find out? Maybe Okay I wrote this before I got the dress. It's been months now and I'm still upset so I decided this is worthy to post. The dress came a few days before my wedding and I was commuting back and forth from Provo all week (finals week mind you) for fittings. The neckline was not what I'd ordered (probably because the lady measuring me for the modest neckline had no respect for my religion or desire to have a modest neckline), the sleeves were ridiculously too tight, the pearl buttons were less than on the original and on the wrong side of the sleeves, and the whole upper half of the dress was the WRONG FABRIC. They admitted to the other mistakes but never to that. "We don't have any dresses in duchess satin, the original dress was in crepe like this one" why won't you show me the original then? Is it really out for a show "I think" for a whole 5 days? Why is this dress ivory and not bright white? We had a whole conversation about the color and fabric when I tried it in and that was a HUGE part of my decision to buy it. I'd never even heard of duchess satin till I tried it on, and both my mom and I could feel and see the difference. Additionally, when they did all of the work to make the sleeves go over my shoulders, the whole dress slid up a few inches for a much less flattering fit on my waist. They kept trying to convince me to take a brawler or something "for my trouble" but I didn't bite. When negotiating the owner tried to manipulate us into giving in by crying and talking about her home life, admitted the low price SHE paid for the dress, thinking maybe she was charging us less? And tried to make is seem like a discount that they weren't charging us for the alterations cause, you know, I "gained weight" (but exclusively in my arms). I had actually lost weight since my fitting the day after Thanksgiving. Anyways, we got a 20% discount after long negotiations that included my dad agreeing to take 10% off if they would show us the original dress and prove it was the same fabric, 30% if they turned out to be wrong. She didn't like that idea. The dress is still beautiful, just not what I ordered, and a pain in the butt to adjust all day for my neckline. Bless my photographer Mikayla Moorhouse for her editing skills to make the ivory less apparent.
