With my car packed, I headed over to Urban Renewal. Immediately upon walking in I was in love! From the sweet and courteous smiling ladies working at the front, to the well put together displays... EVERYTHING WAS a 10! The store style struck me as a mash up of southern- country charm, with a little bit of vintage twist. I loved how they organized the store by size and clothing type (shirts, bottoms, activewear...). Their shoe collection was so tempting too! As I waited for them to go through my clothes, I IMMEDIATELY GOT TO SHOPPING! Lol To my surprise, they took over 75% of the clothes I brought in!! Cant wait to see my return value! **fingers crossed Go check them out!

We purchased my daughter's wedding dress here. While we were there we found a dress we all like for…read moreme as the MOB. Bonnie was amazing with my daughter. I went back to try on the dress we had seen. Vickie pulled that dress and 2 others which were not my taste at all. I started to walk around to see if there was anything I liked. I felt uncomfortable because it felt like I wasn't allowed to do that. Completely different experience than with my daughter. I tried 2 more dresses that I had picked and stuck with the first one. After I put my clothes back on - Vickie measures me over my clothes (summer cotton eyelet dress with a full skirt.). I was like ??? I felt rushed and like she couldn't be bothered. I was there maybe 45 minutes and it was a stressful appointment. She then goes to order my dress and there's an online/web fee plus a rush shipping fee. I said I don't need a rush, we are 5 months out and what's this web fee? I was told it was charged by the designer. She proceeded to tell me that they didn't stock my size, they only stocks to a 14 (my normal size) so it was a custom order (size 16). So I came home and thought about it and placed the order the next day. She came back and said oh delivery date just got pushed out 2 more days, you need to hurry and pay the rush fee. I ordered it and said I don't want rush shipping. Delivery date was almost a full 30 days before the wedding. Well the dress came in 3 days ahead of time - yay. I went and tried it on, it was huge. I was so upset as this was a $650 dress. I knew when I had left my appointment that I didn't feel right. I tried it on and Vickie proceeds to say - oh a smaller size wouldn't have fit you. I went to my alterations lady that I've used for 12 years. She said - you're swimming in this, are you sure they ordered the right size? You needed a size smaller (and no, I have not lost any weight) and I will take it in down to the waist in the bodice, further than that, I really can't because of the zipper. I was so upset and disheartened, she had to basically redo the entire bodice of the dress, re-bead the leaves because she had to take it all in in the front and back and the dress has boning, so it was quite the alteration. I knew it would be too long and that was fine. So on top of $650 plus tax and junk fees, alterations have run me $350 on top of the cost of the dress and this is my person. I had gone to another alterations place they had recommended who said off the cuff it would be over $400 If you go there - make sure you're properly measured!

As the mother of the bride, I am so disappointed with this wedding shop. There were several issues…read morewith miscommunication and unfulfilled promises, leading to significant stress and dissatisfaction, especially so close to the wedding day. My daughter visited this shop accompanied by all the bridesmaids. They were met with kindness and were told that because they seemed so genuine and that my daughter is in the healthcare field that they would give her a good deal. We were initially promised a heavily discounted designer dress to fit within our budget, along with included alterations and a veil This was a significant factor in our decision to purchase from this shop. However, the poor follow-up communication and the surprise alteration fee of $750 during the final fitting were unexpected and unwelcome developments. The fact that all members of the bridal party heard the initial promises proves that there was a clear understanding of what was agreed upon, making the subsequent deviation from those agreements all the more frustrating. A receipt was given to my daughter but it was not itemized. She was told that an itemized receipt would be emailed to her. She never received this. My daughter tried multiple times to reach the shop to confirm a date for a final fitting. I was coming from out of town and needed to plan accordingly. She left multiple messages that were left unreturned. She finally was able to get through and get an "estimated date". When she tried to confirm this date as it grew closer, she received no response. I booked a flight and crossed my fingers. She did get her final fitting one week out from her wedding date. The dress was too small and needed alterations. These alterations were not included as was our initial understanding. We were then told that taxes would not be charged and the "rush fee" would be waived to help with the miscommunication. "Rush fee??? We had been trying for months to get this taken care of. Ultimately, the failure to uphold promises made and the additional financial burden placed on us at this crucial time in the wedding preparations is unacceptable. We feel completely scammed, deceived and disappointed by this experience, as it significantly impacted my daughter's special day and added unnecessary stress. My hope is that this review helps others avoid facing similar challenges.

I would strongly caution anyone against using Bridal Sense for alterations. My experience was…read morenothing short of a nightmare. They completely botched what was supposed to be a minor alteration and ties for a French bustle incorrectly. When I tried on the dress, the poor workmanship was glaringly obvious. When I attempted to explain the issues, the staff there were dismissive and rude, treating my concerns as if I was making them up. They left me standing there alone with the dress while they attended to other customers, despite knowing I had a scheduled appointment. To make matters worse, my dress was dirty and unpressed at final pick-up, contrary to what had been agreed. I had to seek out another tailor to fix their shoddy work which was immediately noticeable to them, which caused unnecessary stress and expense just two days before my wedding day! I did send an email requesting a refund for the failed alterations in an attempt to resolve this directly, but have yet to receive any response from anyone at the shop. I cannot recommend Bridal Sense for alterations--they clearly lack professionalism, skill, and customer care.
