When I tell you this is THE best place to shop in The Region - I am not kidding. To explain, let me take you back to August 2023, I was less than a year post partum and had my appointment at SBB with Shannon. I tried on quite a few that I liked but nothing completely wowed me. Until Shannon took it upon herself to pull one for me to try on. It was strapless (which made me uneasy) but she added straps to give it that off the shoulder look I wanted. It was PERFECT. I am not someone who cries but this dress had myself and my group in tears. We purchased it THAT DAY. Fast forward to June of 2024 - I have lost about 80 pounds and get the call that my dress was in. Panic set in but Shannon assured me that it would all be fine. I went to try it on and of course it was about 5 sizes too big. I brought it to my seamstress July 6th for alterations and was told that it may not be doable and it if was it would cost me around $900. (My wedding is October 26th by the way) I gave the store a call simply to find out what the name of their sister store was as I was most likely going to have to get a new dress. Luckily it was Shannon who I spoke with and she was just as upset about the situation as I was. She told me she would call me right back. And she did. With the name and number of a wonderful seamstress who was experienced in this type of work. She also said she could POSSIBLY work something out with the sister store for a trade in for my dress. (That's not something they typically ever do but she would ask!) hey, the worst the owner could say was "no" at this point. So with no "good" option I made an appointment at The One as well as with the experienced seamstress. (Take a look at my review on The One by SBB's page to see how that went.) When I say I was completely BLOWN away by the kindness and generosity I felt by this store and its employees/owners, I mean it. They could have easily said "too bad so sad" about the entire situation but they are REAL people who actually care about their clients. In a world that is so harsh and cruel these days, it's hard to find that. I will recommend SBB to ANYONE that will listen! Thank you Shannon and everyone who made this potentially disastrous situation stress and guilt free. If I could - I would invite them all to the wedding. read more

Something Blue Bridal - Found my dress! - Bridal Near Me - Schererville, Indiana

Id give 0 stars if I could. I tried to schedule and appointment 2 months ahead of time because the day I could go they did appointments only. they told me they can't accept my appointment because they have to make their schedule according to what staff they have available for those appointments...... didn't make sense because I was booking 2 months in advance but okay. Tried to pick a different day and time for an appointment. No one got back to me if it was " accepted " or not. Thankfully I was able to find my dress else where. read more

I traveled to this boutique from Charlotte, North Carolina so that I could try on dresses with my mother, bridesmaids and future mother in law. I just wanted to say that Amber, my stylist, was amazing! I had a list of dresses that I loved but didn't really know what would suit me best. Amber listened to everything I wanted and she actually picked out the dress I said yes to!! Then she picked out the veil and headpiece that I didn't even know I wanted, which pulled the look together better than I could have dreamed. Thank you Amber, for hearing me and truly understanding my vision, probably better than I even did myself read more

Prior to going to this boutique, I did a lot of research on which boutiques carried Martina Liana and Essence of Australia gowns. I looked in particular for boutiques that not only carried these lines but ones that also have samples in plus sizes. So many boutiques have very limited or no dress samples at all in plus sizes. Luckily, Something Blue Bridal is not one of those boutiques! I got to feel like a princess during my entire dress try on. At no point was I made to feel like I didn't have options. Amber went out of her way to cater to me and she was very good at listening to what I wanted and pulled dresses that I actually liked. When I came into the salon, I had one particular dress in mind. However, even though the store had that dress, I didn't even bother trying it on because Amber had pulled a different dress that just took my breath away when I tried it on. My aunt who was with me even started crying. Once she put a veil on me and gave me a bouquet, I knew it was the one. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get my dress in time- we went dress shopping in July and our wedding was in January- but Amber assured me that we would get it by November. And she was right! My dress came in in early November. When I went to pick it up all of the ladies working at Something Blue hyped me up. I felt great! I can't recommend Something Blue Bridal enough. The ladies working there are so kind and personable and they make it their mission to make every bride feel special. read more

I went to Something Blue today and was in love from the moment I walked in! I worked with Shannon and what a dream she was! Even before my appointment I had many phone calls, emails, and texts with both Shannon and Sandy who made this process a breeze! I was able to purchase the wedding dress of my dreams and felt so comfortable and beautiful!! Being a plus size bride can be extremely intimidating and these ladies made me feel amazing! Would recommend a million times over!!!! read more

The customer service and experience my friends and I had at this bridal boutique is second to none. After a very long day of the endless search for the perfect wedding dress, my friend finally came back to this bridal shop and found the dress of her dreams! The staff is beyond helpful- they are simply there to make sure you love everything about your dress and your experience. They are willing to answer any questions you might have and research different styles or colors of dresses you may like. They also make you feel like they are simply there for you..no pressure or false opinions! I've never experienced this great of customer service in this industry! There is a very wide variety of dresses in the shop. They also carry a wide range of sizes so there is something for everyone! read more

I had such an amazing experience at this boutique. They made me feel so special and like the store was all mine for the day. The girl that helped me with getting into the dresses was so sweet. The other was very honest and helped me make the right decisions about the gown I ultimately ordered. The store is super clean and has tons of beautiful gowns! I was super impressed. I live in downtown Chicago and this place was better than any place I'd gone to in the city. Also, these prices cant be beat! Very good selection and affordable. I'm so happy that I found this store, especially since I had two bad experiences prior in the city! I suggest making an appointment during the week and earlier in the day like I did. I'm not sure how the weekends go but I definitely felt like I was made to feel special and was given a lot of undivided attention. read more

Beautiful dresses!!! They saved the day when I was in a dilemma!! Many many thanks!!!

I definitely recommend Something Blue Bridal Boutique to anyone shopping for their wedding gown! When I was researching for boutiques, they had perfect reviews. From the moment you make your appointment on the phone, until after your wedding when they congratulate you, the customer service is completely elevated. These ladies know this business very well. The boutique has a large variety, and they gowns are displayed well and by silhouette. The prices are very reasonable. It is even better when they have trunk shows! Everyone knows how to make you feel welcome, comfortable and like you are the only bride in the salon. Sandy, Colleen and Amber were all fantastic! Knew my dress was the one on the hanger, and left the salon feeling like I was on Cloud 9! read more

I had to update my earlier review of Something Blue. When my dress finally arrived, earlier than projected by the way, the staff were very helpful and honest in directing me to a seamstress for alterations. I think that speaks to their integrity as a business and their customer care and service. As I only plan on marrying this one time, I won't be shopping with them again LOL! HOWEVER, I have referred colleagues to them and will send as many people I possibly can to their boutique. Such a great experience read more

Something Blue has been my favorite vendor to work with by far. The shop is beautiful and clean, and the whole team was very friendly and energetic. Amber was phenomenal to work with. She was so patient and she chose the perfect dress for my wedding, despite my non-specific reasons for saying no to the first few I tried on. She didn't pressure me to make a purchase, and she gave me plenty of time to decide and even showed me what my dress would look like in white versus ivory, and how it would look with my bridesmaid dress colors. I couldn't be happier with my experience at Something Blue, and it was a very pleasant surprise in the context of how stressful wedding planning can be! read more

I came to Something Blue about two weeks back and had a great experience! I loved that in the beginning we got to walk around and pick our own dresses and then the consultant picked out some things as well. I tried on a ton of different dresses and they were all reasonably priced. I'm so happy I found my dress here. Everyone that we interacted with you could tell truly cared about you and your experience. read more

Hello ladies from Something Blue! Sorry it took this long to forward a few pictures of my wedding. I truly loved my dressed! I want to take a brief moment to let others know how great it was to work with you all. Something Blue was the second bridal boutique I visited. Considering how indecisive I can be, I had an idea of the dress I was looking for...something simple but with a little sparkle. The dress that caught my eye (a Stella York dress), Something Blue did not have in stock but they ordered a sample dress. After about a week or so, the sample dress arrived. Even though sample dresses are not new/clean/actual size, I loved it! I did not hesitate to order MY DRESS. The entire process, from the very first appointment, to alterations, everything was very smooth. I never felt pressured to try on certain dresses, even though my mom would have preferred extra sparkle. When I asked for feedback, I was given the right amount of feedback. It was truly a great experience, I never felt overwhelmed. Even though alterations were not done in-house at the time I purchased my dress, Something Blue worked closely with a person who does alterations. If you are looking for a peaceful bridal gown shopping experience, Something Blue staff will offer you the peace of mind you are looking for. Sandy and the rest of the staff, thank you! read more

The ladies at Something Blue Bridal were amazing! From the moment I called to make an appointment to shop for my wedding dress I knew it was going to be a great experience. Everyone was so helpful and happy! You could tell they truly love helping brides find that perfect dress for their special day. I brought 5 people with me to find my dress and they were VERY accommodating and were able to take everyone's suggestions while still remembering my vision. I fell in love with my dress on my one and only shopping day and walked out with a smile from ear to ear! Dress shopping was probably the least stressful part of my wedding planning and I truly believe it was because of the warmth and knowledge of the ladies at Something Blue Bridal!!! read more

Words can't even describe how much I love this bridal boutique. Sandy and the girls make you feel so welcome and loved! They give you their honest feedback and are so helpful.

These women make the experience so special and amazing!! I highly recommend this shop to all brides! read more

I am so happy we stumbled upon Something Blue. I went wedding dress shopping with only one idea in mind - a long sleeve wedding gown - and walked away with not only my dream dress, but a feeling of gratitude to all of the girls that work at SBB. Celine was my bridal consultant and pulled every long sleeve gown in their inventory. My mother is handicapped, and they were accommodating to place a chair in several areas of their store for her to sit while we browsed through the dresses, while I tried them on, and even at the counter while we checked out. We went on 'small business Saturday' in Nov 2018, and received a discount toward a veil which was s surprise and very sweet of them to offer! We were never rushed or pressured into buying anything, and all of the girls at SBB were so sweet and accommodating. If you're looking for a one-on-one experience with a large selection of beautiful dresses and accessories, SBB is the place to go! read more

I came in here just to browse at some dresses and unexpectedly ended up finding the one. The boutique is super cute and cozy with lots of mirrors and a huge fitting room! Customer service was beyond exceptional and I am extremely pleased with how the entire process. Highly recommend for all of your bridal needs! read more

I was living in NC and came to visit my family in Schererville soon after I was engaged. My sister and I went to her eye doctor appointment and I had noticed a boutique across the way. We decided to pop in. It was very clean and welcoming with a wide variety of gorgeous dresses. The owner, Sandy was very nice and generous just to let us browse through the dresses. I ended up going back with my mom and sister a few days later without an appointment. Sandy was extremely helpful and not pushy whatsoever. She let me try on whatever I wanted and made me feel comfortable and took our time. Sandy kept up with me and the dresses I liked. She was very honest in helping me with my decision. I got a better deal on this dress than I would have in NC for the same one. She really made it easy for me and I can't wait to go back to the store!!! read more

Walked in on a Saturday without an appointment with my newly engaged daughter. Fully expecting to just browse, we were greeted by Shannon who encouraged us to look around and should we find anything we wanted to try on, just let her know. Her previous appointment was a no-show. She even pulled a dress that was a great comparison to a dress my daughter wanted to try and another salon didn't have. She paid close attention to what WE were looking for, not the most expensive dress she wanted to try to make a sale with. Shannon was so friendly, helpful, informative with absolutely no pressure! My daughter and I would highly recommend this salon! read more

Something Blue was easily my favorite vendor to work with for my wedding. You can tell they really care about the clients and aren't happy unless you're happy! Just going there was exciting because their team is so great to work with. I always look forward to chatting with Sandy. She really relates well with her clients without putting on some big show. She's just down to earth easy to work with. Anne who did alterations was wonderful. Just a happy person who makes you look good! Pricing was fair and reasonable, beautiful veil selection, personal experience, and here's the kicker, THEY ANSWER THEIR PHONE AND RETURN EMAILS! I loved my experience with Something Blue and would recommend them to anyone! read more

The entire experience was amazing. Something Blue had a large number of dresses to choose from, I felt if I could not find it there then I would never find a dress. Colleen was amazing she listened to what I wanted and found the perfect dress for me. I felt like my dress was made for me. Thank you for making this experience so amazing. read more

I was so pleased with my first experience at Something Blue Bridal. I found the salon after a few not so great experiences at other salons in the Chicagoland area and originally booked an appointment as they were having an Allure trunk show. Part of my disappointment with my dress shopping experience before something blue had to do with the scamming that goes on the minute you use the "w" word:"that day only"pricing, not being able to select your own gowns, being brought only gowns outside of your budget (if this annoys you too...avoid weddings 826 in Lincoln park, not being able to take pics even though your true purpose in doing so is to see how you will look in pictures, as, if you were going to have the dress remade elsewhere, any dress picture is EASILY found on the web, pushy consultants...the list goes on and on. I had been trying to curtail the industry scams in every way possible, but when it came to the dress, I was really having trouble. Then I found something blue bridal and I'm so glad I did!! Sandy (the owner) offered exactly what I was looking for in a bridal consultant. I was able to peruse and pull the gowns I wanted to try, try the maybes on over and over (its a big purchase/decision), and she offered feedback that seemed to be completely genuine not just telling me everything looked beautiful. Never once did I feel any pressure from her. She was so laid back, down to earth, and honest. When I showed her a picture of a dress that I had been eyeing from the same line as the trunk show but that was not part of it, she said she would be able to order it and... I would still get the trunk show discount! I was surprised at this as my previous experiences had lead me to always expect an exclusion when a deal sounded good. Even better, Sandy explained that the trunk show discount would be good until the end of the trunk show so there was no pressure to decide that day. Also, she did not mind letting my mom take pics of me in a few dresses to help with my decision. This may have been the key selling point for me as I was able to try on a very similar body style gown to the one I wanted and being able to view the pics definitely helped me solidify my decision! One more plus, the boutique is adorable and an easy shot from chicago where i live. The fitting rooms are large. The dresses are well taken care of. You can find a beautiful dress and order from a business that you actually trust and want to support. I called in my order today. i knew they were very busy as the trunk show is still going on and it is a holiday so I wasn't the least bit surprised when I did not get an answer. I just planned to call back a little later. I was very surprised when Sandy called me back just a few minutes later (I hadn't even left a message!) I am so happy with my decision and so glad that I found something blue bridal! read more

Sandy from this boutique is wonderful. She took a Monday appointment even though they were supposed to be closed. Absolutely recommend going on a weekday!!! She was patient in letting myself and the girls that were with me pull dresses and also was telling us some different options for some of the dresses. The prices were Reasonable and I was able to stay under budget which was great! She was honest in her opinion and made the entire process of choosing my dress an extremely enjoyable experience. Only issue- which is absolutely not their fault- is that the address of the store is wrong on Yelp and Google. So finding it was a challenge. Just call ahead for the proper location and you should be good! I can't wait for my dress to come in! If you go here looking for a dress you will not be disappointed! read more

I honestly did not like this place, the manager had just had her baby and there were two girls there that were very rude, disorganized and did not take consideration the fact that we had people fly In from different parts of the country for this appointment. There was no one there and they had said people were there before us which was a lie and didn't make us feel like their top priority. I will never come here again. read more

Something blue is definitely my favorite wedding store! Their dresses are high quality and customer service is amazing! The store is beautiful and easy to find dresses. I loved the alteration services as well! read more
