I cannot say enough wonderful things about High Vibe Bride. From the very first interaction through…read morealterations, the entire experience was thoughtful, personal, and genuinely joyful.
This is my second wedding, and that context matters. During my first wedding, dress shopping at large bridal stores was stressful, overwhelming, and impersonal. I felt rushed and unseen. I chose High Vibe Bride because it seemed different--and it absolutely was, in the best possible ways.
High Vibe Bride is a small, intimate salon that works with individual clients only, which creates an incredibly calm and personalized experience. Before my appointment, Janay scheduled a phone call to learn about my vision, preferences, body, comfort needs, and my multi-day destination elopement. She asked thoughtful questions, provided extensive information, and explained timelines and options clearly. By the time I arrived, she had already pulled dresses that aligned exactly with what I wanted. I immediately felt seen, heard, and cared for.
As a plus-size bride, I was blown away by the selection. There were so many plus-size dresses in a wide variety of styles--not just one look or silhouette. Every dress I tried on was beautiful and thoughtfully chosen. Janay was extremely communicative throughout the appointment, answering all of my questions thoroughly and offering helpful details about how each dress would move and feel. She absolutely nailed it based on our phone conversation--I ended up buying the very first dress I tried on, something I never expected. Even better, although I went in planning to buy one dress, I left with two. They were completely different, perfect for different parts of my elopement, and affordable because the pricing was far more reasonable than anywhere else in town.
I had very specific needs--plus-size, long sleeves, and nothing restrictive--and yet the selection was incredible. I never felt limited or like I had to compromise. Janay affirmed me throughout the entire experience and made me feel confident, beautiful, and honestly like a princess.
The alteration process was equally amazing. Janay's background in making wedding dresses truly sets her apart. For my adventure elopement, mobility was essential--my photographer even encouraged me to make sure I could do jumping jacks in my dress. Janay offered creative, expert solutions that allowed me to move freely while maintaining the integrity and beauty of the gown.
On a personal level, Janay went above and beyond to accommodate my severe dog allergies, thoroughly vacuuming the studio, putting down extra coverings, and checking in with me multiple times to ensure I was comfortable. She was also incredibly thoughtful when my mom couldn't attend due to injury--helping FaceTime her, sending photos, and making sure she felt included.
High Vibe Bride is not just a bridal salon--it is a place where brides are truly listened to, affirmed, and supported. Janay has created something special, and I am deeply grateful. I cannot recommend High Vibe Bride highly enough.
