Went to try on dresses here, and the shop's set up has been my favorite of all the shops so far because of the large mirrors, large private rooms with curtains, and the large windows in the front to see how dresses look in the natural light, which is perfect if you plan on having and outdoor wedding. Emma was very helpful during my appointment, and she pulled several dresses for me. I was the only one in the shop at the time, so it felt like a very private and low stress environment. The prices ranged from 700-a couple of thousand dollars. There was a section with off-the-rack dresses, which were more on the cheaper side, and others in which you could order your size and color. Overall, I had a great experience here, and almost bought my dress here, but decided to keep looking and found my dress elsewhere. read more

Hi Swan Bridal/Emma, Thank you for responding. I want to add clear, factual context for anyone reading. My original gown shopping experience with Taylor was positive, and I captured that sentiment in a completely separate 5-star review. This review and reply are only about the alterations communication she provided and veil outcome, which occurred months after purchase. When buying the veil, I was directly told by Taylor that both shortening and appliqué removal at the top were possible in alterations. I made it clear that the ability to remove that top appliqué was the sole reason I moved forward with ordering that specific veil. At the alteration appointment which I attended in-person, the veil was shortened, but the appliqué was still untouched. We marked precisely where it needed to be removed so the design would properly align with my dress. I did not approve leaving it as-is. Because I live out of town, my mother later picked up the veil on my behalf. Only at that time, days before my wedding at final pick up, were we told the top appliqué removal could not be done at all, even though it had already been discussed many times. At that pickup moment, I did not threaten a bad review. I requested a full refund so I could return the veil entirely, and that request was denied by you because the veil had "already been altered." Again, those alterations were not completed based on what was discussed or marked and, as mentioned in my initial review, I had to settle for a partial discount and a veil I was unhappy with. So my review is warranted. Had I been told upfront that the change wasn't possible, OR had the appliqué been removed where we marked it, I would have: * never purchased the veil, * never requested a refund, * and happily kept and loved what I ordered. Instead, I was left with a veil that: * visibly clashed with the dress due to color contrast at the top, * was not altered as confirmed or marked, * and could not be returned when I asked, despite the incomplete work. Transparency is everything in bridal alterations-- especially for expensive, time-sensitive items with no remake or replacement window. My response is not personal to Taylor's styling work, but clarity matters for future brides reading this. Brides deserve accurate information and accountability on purchases made specifically because of alteration assurances. I stand by my review and this context. read more

Swan Bridal - Bridal Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I cannot say enough good things about Emma and my experience with her. Going into dress shopping, I was honestly pretty stressed. I'm planning a wedding away from my family, I struggle with making big decisions, and up until this appointment I hadn't felt comfortable or confident in a single dress I had tried on. I walked in thinking I knew exactly what style I wanted, but I told Emma I was open to her suggestions. She took me "shopping," listened carefully to every piece of feedback I gave, and somehow managed to find the most unexpected DREAM dress -- a dress that was completely different from what I had envisioned but absolutely perfect for me. I am so grateful she encouraged me to keep an open mind because I truly found the one. Beyond helping me find my dress, Emma made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire experience. I was literally sweating the whole time (thanks, Texas!) and never once felt self-conscious or embarrassed. She made me feel at home, comfortable in my own skin, and genuinely excited to be there. Wedding planning has been stressful at times, and dress shopping had started to feel more overwhelming than fun. In just one appointment, Emma completely changed that. She made the experience full of laughter, joy, and excitement. I left feeling giddy, confident, and so excited for my wedding day. If you have the opportunity to work with Emma, do it. She is kind, intuitive, encouraging, and incredibly talented at what she does. I'm so thankful she was part of such a special moment. read more

Honestly where do I start, I had no personal inspiration walking in and no clue what I wanted out of a wedding dress. Taylor really stepped up and just started pulling out dresses she thought I would love (and were in my budget). And I did! From simple lace to full on princess dresses I had so many to choose from. My bridal crew had so much fun watching me try on all the dresses Taylor picked out for me. And Taylor was so fun as a consultant and she brought the energy with our party and she knew EVERYTHING there was to know about dresses. For someone as clueless as I was this was beyond helpful!! Cannot recommend this shop enough and will be sending all my soon to be brides I know this way. read more

Highly recommend. Taylor made our experience so easy and delightful. I wasn't quite sure of what I would like and she helped me narrow it down efficiently...she knew what was going to look best on me before I did! She really knows her stuff. All of the dresses are beautiful and it's so easy to browse through their stock. I ended up picking an "as is" style off the rack and got an amazing discount. I am so so happy! Thanks again, Taylor! read more

Swan Bridal - So happy! - Bridal Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I can't stress enough about how AMAZING this store and its staff is. Taylor made my sisters dream come true! We went to 2 other places and I wish we had come here first lol. But it is all apart of the process. Taylor was SO Patient with my sister and our bridal party and all of our millions of questions. From the moment I called them on the phone... I knew with their customer service being so impressive and their kindness, that I knew she would find something with them. They are truly one of a kind people. The location is a hidden gem but truly grateful we found them. She was able to find something in her budget and the selection was amazing! Thank you Emma and Taylor for all of your help through this searching process. I'm so excited for my sisters special day. Can't wait to update with pictures after they say I do! Short version! Ask for Taylor!! You won't be disappointed!!! read more

We had a marvelous experience at Swan Bridal! Being cared for by Vanessa was delightful. Her patience, gentle guidance and attentiveness were appreciated. Her encouragement and pleasant demeanor were very much appreciated as well. We were able to explore multiple options and styles to find something fabulous. Vanessa is an asset to the shop! read more

My daughter found a beautiful dress at Swan, and I found them reasonable on price. Good selection, good seamstress work (if you use them), no problems, and the ladies working there are very nice, helpful. Would recommend. read more

I was not expecting to find a dress on my first visit to Swan, but I found that and much more! My consultant, Taylor, was helpful, kind, and understanding of my budget and personal style. If it wasn't for her suggestion, I wouldn't have a dress that I feel so beautiful in! Overall, a 10/10 experience! read more

Don't mind me, I have been stressing about this wedding lol but these ladies made my journey amazing! I was SOLD on dress number one as soon as I tried it on. Of course tried like 7 others..they did a great job of helping me find the one! I walked in and felt comfortable The ladies are so sweet and patient and work with you!

I am so glad I stumbled upon Swan Bridal! Not only is the staff amazing, they had so many gorgeous options. Vanessa and Marisa were so sweet and attentive and helped me pick the most beautiful dress that is so flattering for me and I couldn't be happier. I found my DREAM dress here! read more

I originally went in liking the price range of gowns listed online and wanted to just check them out. This turned out to be the hidden gem of a shop! The gowns are all beautiful and there is a good price range and many styles to select from. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and Vanessa attended to us in a intimate setting with a personal dressing room. Vanessa actually picked a dress I would have looked right over and it ended up being THE ONE! She listened to the details I was looking for, but also had a good read on what would look good on me. The dress is amazing, and the price was just the cherry on top! Go to Swan Bridal! read more

I was that rando that just walked in without an appointment. Lol I saw the 'open' sign on my way to Wholesome Eating and decided to stop in and take a look. The employee greeted me and asked if I had an appointment and when I told her no, she certainly didn't get upset. In fact, she encouraged me to come, take a look around, and if I found anything I was interested in, to let her know so I could try it on and that she'd be happy to help me. She was already assisting another client but I appreciated the welcome! I browsed for about 20 minutes and although I did find a few beautiful dresses, none that was close to what I have in mind. The prices are listed on the majority of the items I saw so there are no surprises if you're on a budget. Well kept, and somewhat small but a nice option for those in the market looking for a wedding dress. read more

Absolutely amazing experience! Jane listened to all of my preferences and pulled some absolutely beautiful gowns. They have a lot of designers you don't see at other shops, so everything felt very new to me! After 6 dresses, I was pretty sure I had found the one, and Jane was able to add a sparkle tulle layer which ABSOLUTELY made the dress! I said yes! read more

Swan Bridal - Bridal Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I did not have a bad experience here however I would not say I had a good experience here either. My bridal appointment left me very underwhelmed and I did not feel special at all. The consultant as she tried her best did not seem to listen to anything I was saying I wanted vs what i didn't want. She kept bringing the same type of dresses and same style- however after looking around it's because that's all they had- a lot of the same type of dress. If you want a personable experience I would not recommend coming here. They do not go out of their way providing customer service. read more

WORST EXPERIENCE! The consultant pulled 5-6 dresses for me to try on. After the second dress, she told me nothing else would fit me. I was confused because there were a ton of dresses and had not been told there or any of the other shops I went to that there was a limited selection for a size 12. She then proceeded to go take "another look" and returned with a exact style I told her in the beginning that I did not like. She then suggested I put on the provided silk robe for me to go with her. When the size M/L did not wrap she looked at me like I had 4 boobs and said "OH!". I am not a super sensitive girl but I could not get out of there fast enough so I could cry. Spare yourself! Go somewhere else and feel beautiful. read more

We went there today and had an absolutely horrible experience. They were late opening up and we had an appointment for right when they opened. They had no dresses picked out or ready for us so we spent 30 minutes looking for dresses to try on. When we tried the dresses on no pizzaz was into the showing, they didn't offer to put on a veil to make it THE dress. We also were not told appointments were only an hour when we booked so as we were finding more dresses to try on we were rudely told that another bride was waiting and we could not try on any more dresses. I didn't feel great at this store, I felt rushed and unimportant. There are way better bridal stores down the road! read more

Can't say enough great things about Swan Bridal! When I came into the shop, I had already tried on dresses from 2 other stores that day and had a favorite dress from each store. Swan's collection quickly made me forget about those first 2 dresses, both in style and price (the dresses I tried on were half the price of the other boutiques!!) Jane was so sweet and helpful throughout the entire process. I had narrowed it down to 2 favorites and was having such a hard time deciding between the 2 dresses. They were both so unique and had beautiful details. As it turned out, Jane actually designed one of the dresses and her partner Catherine had designed the other. I decided to go home and sleep on it and come back in the morning. When I came back the next day, Catherine was actually the one who helped me out. Catherine's dress ended up the winner, but really I couldn't go wrong either way. Overall it was just such an amazing experience and I am so glad I came across Swan! read more

Excellent customer service (thank you Catherine!) and selection of dresses. Very elegant and great variety, vintage yet contemporary, great prices, big discounts. This was the first dress shop my mom and I walked into. We found five dresses we loved, tried them on, narrowed it down to two, and bought the dress in a two-hour span. Catherine was very attentive and sweet and patient. Will never forget the sweet moment my mom saw me come out in the first dress and started to cry :) Clean and organized boutique, much more intimate and cozy than the megastores seemed to be - the other places looked like just going into a Ross store based on pictures. read more

Absolute worst experience ever, left me feeling uncomfortable, defeated, and almost left in tears. This was my first real time coming with family to search for a wedding dress and I was already so anxious because my father passed away not too long ago and his absence from this milestone was tough enough. If you're a skinny woman I think you won't have any issues. I wear a size 15 pant which I think isn't outrageous in size, however the owner and her daughter appeared to think otherwise. Despite me being friendly, kind, open, and honestly nervous, the owner had me in the changing room and only made me feel terrible about my body. She didn't let me try on any dresses because said "nothing will fit you, this is all we have for your body, the rest won't look good on you." Which at first I appreciated the realism, but later I began to get frustrated and felt as if I my body wasn't good enough for a wedding dress which absolutely no one should ever feel. Even with being able to put the fabric in the back of the dress or use clamps like other bridal shops, she just refused to let me try anything other than the 3 dresses she chose for me (after she had me shop around for a while and pick some out.) After finally coming out in a few dresses and my family clearly seeing me look so upset and self conscious, they made some suggestions about other dresses to which the owners adult daughter responded "we can't let her try those because her body will ruin the dress." I was completely appalled at what she said so I wanted to take the dress I was wearing off and just take a second to collect myself. While I was in the dressing room, the owner and her daughter stood near my family and started speaking Spanish (not knowing my entire family speaks Spanish) and continued to say "I don't know why she's trying any of these, none of them will fit her and none of them look good." After my family told me what they said I was near tears and told them I'm sorry I just needed to take a moment to consider some options (I was being kind and apologetic even when I did nothing wrong) and the owner didn't even make eye contact and just said "mmhmm" and then continued hanging dresses as if she really didn't even care. I left feeling embarrassed that my family and bridesmaids had to hear that nothing was fitting me and I felt completely robbed of my bridal experience or even just a good customer service experience at all. I really don't appreciate how I was treated and luckily the I was able to make a same day appointment at Olivia Grace Bridal where everyone was just so wonderful and I ended up finding my dream dress. Synopsis: don't go here. Go to Olivia Grace Bridal. read more

I was very surprised at how warm and helpful Jane and the other lovely lady were. Jane picked out a few options and patiently let me try each and every one (like 6 different styles). I love the fact that we can communicate through text. Makes it easier when your a busy bee like me. They truly helped me find my dream dress! LADIES THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO! read more

I don't know how to express this . At first I really loved the store and did my homework and I saw all the beautiful reviews! So I tried out this nice place. After the first consultation I fell in love with a dress, a crown and a veil. Everyone was friendly. I decided the next day the dress wasn't for me, and called to cancel it. But the crown was paid for separately. But one big issue a huge miscommunication. My sister had paid for my crown , and told at first it needed repair but I bought it anyway and the lady up front register said it would be sent for repair and would be ready in 4 weeks. No big deal. The Wedding isn't until 1 year down the road. One month later I went out of the country and my sister got a call the crown was ready, so I had to wait till I came back . No big deal. I came back one 1 week later and I asked for my crown. They could not find it. They could not find anything of it. Waited like 35 minutes I believe and they said they did not even have it. I was let down because I traveled 45 miles to the store... on top of that they still had my old paper work for my dress and told me my crown wasn't ordered because I had to pay half the payment for the dress. Just a big miscommunication. Any who we asked for a refund and they did not want to. I will get my crown else where , even though it was paid for. read more

I had already been to a couple of stores before I came to Swan Bridal. I'm very sensitive to fabrics and had a bad reaction to some material the day prior and the stylists at other stores made it seem like it was my problem. As soon as I walked into Swan Bridal I felt more at ease. The dresses are beautiful, Catherine was super sweet and helped me figure out which fabric was making me break out. She was so patient and when I found my perfect dress she and Jane were so excited for me! I even waited until the following weekend so my future mother-in-law could see the dress and I was just as in love with it as I was before! Everything was explained in detail to us, and everyone was so patient. I could not have been happier with my experience and I can't wait to go back when the dress comes in! read more

Horrible place !!! Not plus size friendly !! Definitely don't recommend if trying to find your perfect dress. they did not offer that one on one experience in finding a dress for your special day ...... since the beginning they automatically put my sister to a corner told her that she had a small amount of options... and in the dressing room the lady told her "none of these dresses will fit u..." never again !!!!! read more
