Non traditional bride review - Beautiful gowns, but not out-of-the-box…read more This was a hard one to rate. I was initially excited because the website seemed so different from other bridal shops and even specified a black dress and pants suits and breaking out of the mold. I spent time filling out a questionnaire including a link to my Pinterest board. When I arrived the sales person Cora seemed somewhat surprised to see me and did not have many samples picked out (like other stores will do) and did not seem to have read my questionnaire. As a last minute bride, there were off the rack options that I could choose from which I appreciated. BUT I feel like the way the store markets their brand is very different than what they actually offer. Other than some Pop culture decor, I did not see the store as being edgier than other bridal shops. There was one black gown in the display window and a handful of statement pieces on a tiny trunk show rack, but I found myself bored of the explosion of white dresses (and champagne being the primary alternative color) and craving the experience I expected from the description paragraph on the website. I rated it a four because I am taking ownership of not fully vetting all of the designers they carry - but hope one day I can find a non-cliche shop that doesn't feel like it's trying so hard with the aesthetic like Flutter.

Along with Meghan, these lovely ladies asked thoughtful and helpful questions that led me to finding my dress! * The shop itself was clean, inviting and welcoming, perfectly temperature. Everything from the restroom to the front desk/check in area to the dressing room and furthermore was clean. * Overall, I will be recommending anyone and everyone to Luxe Bridal! The inclusivity and pride they have in their mission was definitely felt throughout my experience! Thank you Luxe Bridal, you guys are SO amazing, I love yall!

Even before walking in, I knew it was the right place for me to find my dress based on their social media presence and the intake call I had prior to my appointment. My stylist really took the time to listen to what I wanted, my concerns, and how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. She pulled AWSOME options for me while making me feel so empowered. We giggled together with my squad and I felt honored to have my appointment be in the place they film most of their TikTok's! It was so fun and such a lovely experience. I will recommend everyone I know to get their dress from Luxe!

I don't know that there are enough words for how wonderful my experience was at Che Bella! Che…read moreBella was the first stop of the day for my mother and I. Upon arrival we were greeted right away by two ladies, one of which was my consultant Jenna. She listened while I explained what my vision was (which was all over to be honest) and price point. She proceeded to show us around the racks and helped me select a number of dress while she also pulled some on her own. While trying on dresses she was always there to help unzip/zip me and was always there to offer advise or answer questions as my mom and I evaluated each dress. I was shocked at how many dresses I loved in the store, the selection was amazing! As the end of my 90min appointment was nearing I still had a few dresses to try and Jenna was kind enough to let me continue to try dresses on! On top of that my mother and I always had full water glasses. We eventually left, with a few dresses that we loved in mind there that Jenna wrote down for us. The next two stops for us could not hold a flame to the experience we had at Che Bella. Flutter, the second stop was great and had fine service but the dresses were just not my taste. Our third stop, The Wedding Shoppe was TERRIBLE! I was not even given my full 90 min appointment before my consultant ended it. I told her designers I liked, she never brought them in. Told her I wanted to try something with less/no lace, she brought more and more lace. Told her I wanted to try something strapless, she kept bring dresses with straps! After leaving my mother and I called Che Bella right away to see if we could come back and try a few more dresses on. They informed us they were closing in 45mins but to come on back! Once returning to Che Bella ( about 20 mins before close) Jenna was there to greet us again and had pulled the dresses that were my favs from that morning. I tried them all on, saving the best for last! Wearing that last dress I looked in the mirror behind me only to see my mom crying and Jenna even tearing up! It was a genuine moment and I appreciated it, Jenna took the time to get to know me and my mom, she actually cared that I was happy, that is customer service at its finest. As my mother and I cried after I said yes to the dress Jenna came out with champagne for my mom, myself and her! My mom and I sat in the closed shop and enjoyed a moment that we will never have again as a mother and daughter. Jenna and all the ladies at Che Bella, thank you for giving us that moment, it meant the world. I can not recommend a better place to have one of the most special moments in your life!

An adorable wedding dress shop! Their selection of dresses was decent! If you ask to see some…read moredresses off the rack, their price range was about 700-5000. I did not go with a dress from here, mostly because I liked others equally and they were cheaper. The staff was friendly, though I was surprised the attendant did not help me get into my dresses. There is space for only 2-3 appointments at once, so they do feel intimate. Good natural lighting for getting a feel for the dress. They are pretty strict on the 4 guest max rule. They weren't too pushy and didn't follow up after we left (which I appreciated). Overall I would recommend adding Che Bella to your dress appointment list! Great restaurant (Gai Noi) and park (Loring) nearby for a true girls afternoon!

So when I started thinking about a wedding dress, I wanted to try to find a vintage number that fit both me and my style. I was so happy to learn about Andrea's because I wanted to shop leisurely (not get into an ebay bidding war) and try thing on (even if the measurements seem right, it may not look good once it's on). The shop is loosely organized by era, but you can pull from any rack if something catches your eye. I especially liked Andrea's vision in seeing how a dress could be altered--different neckline, shorter length, a change to the bodice--to fit the designs I was most interested in. A nice, low-pressure environment, but don't bring your whole entourage. There really isn't room for more than one or two extra people, and the dressing rooms are pretty small considering the volume of some of the dresses. Obviously the assortment changes all the time, but the day I was there I saw dresses ranging from about $300 to $1600. I was also impressed by the selection of vintage accessories, including sweet birdcage veils and embellished headbands.

I had Liliya as my profesional stylist and she was simply amazing! I had so so so much fun! Usually going to a bridal shop can be daunting because I'm not the typical model size to fit into gowns given I'm petite, midsize and curvie can be tricky to try on dresses. Lili was so helpful and honestly she got me into a lot of dresses that I thought I wouldn't be able to fit in and I just couldn't help but laugh at how much fun it was trying on dresses. It was a workout but so worth it ! They have a lot of designer dresses and honestly a bit of everything ! Their website says " With a modern vision and great taste, My Darling Bridal has brought in dresses from all over the world into the comfort of a historical boutique.

The dresses were all hung up around the shop and we were directed to take photos of the ones we liked and our stylist would grab them for me. All of the little try on areas are in one big room, so if you are a private person looking for a quiet moment, this may not be the stop for you. But for me, it was very fun to see other brides trying on dresses and get inspiration! Our stylist was very helpful and the champagne was a nice touch! Free to make a reservation and I felt no pressure when I decided the dresses were not for me. Vow'd has all their selection online and the prices were true to the listings.

Seating is very open, so you're in your own section but you can still see other groups. They have a variety of different couches available for friends and family to sit on which were very comfortable. At the beginning of your appointment they give your party bubbles or water to sip on during the appointment. During the winter when it's wet outside they have you take your shoes off near the entrance of the shop.

I went to go pick it up a week later and the dress would not even come close to zipping. During the process, I was told this was my fault and there could no way it was her fault when taking in the dress on the sides? She then put criss cross straps in the back (making it look different from the other dresses) and I went to pick it up, again, and she left the zipper in place so walking down the aisle the dress completely looked too small making it obvious the zipper did not close. It is now the day of the wedding and I finally got the dress back. Not only did I have to pay for her mistake but after she ran my credit card she informed me there was a 4% credit card fee. Terrible experience with this place, I highly would not recommend!

After several weeks of trying desperately to find something…read moreoff-the-rack to wear for my wedding in the Tetons, I finally decided that it was time to look into Joy. My mom and I walked into this gorgeous atelier, and were immediately greeted by an enthusiastic and effervescent Joy, who started asking me questions about what styles I like and what I feel looks best on me. Long or short? Strapless or sleeves? What style waist? I tried on a few of the stock dresses she has on her hangers (she literally customizes every dress to YOU, whether it's a custom style or not), and we started formulating an idea of what my ideal dress would look like. She ripped off sheats of organza and started wrapping them around my body, and suddenly a dress appeared! I had three more fittings with her, and each time I got more and more excited about what was taking shape. She totally supported my vision, guiding me along the way to ensure that I would look exactly how I wanted on my wedding day, and crafted an elegant, completely unique piece that reflected the atmosphere and aesthetic we were aiming for. Her attention to detail is impeccable (she even stitched into the dress my dad's initials, so I could feel like he was a part of things even in his absence). Her energy, her creativity, her ability to make a reality out of your vision is inspiring, and makes her creations stand out even more. Joy made our wedding even more memorable thanks to her dedication to her craft, and I can't thank her enough for it. She's worth every single penny (and, by the way, you'll EASILY spend as much money on a generic dress that needs alterations as you will on a totally customized dress that matches you, your style, your body, your aesthetic perfectly). I'll be back for more!

She really listened to what I was saying and helped me through the entire design process, without pushing her personal preferences/opinion/aesthetic. She is SO EASY TO WORK WITH (I felt like we were a team) and really understood the direction I wanted to take the design. I was able to explain my thoughts and ideas for the dress in rough/basic terms (poofy here, flowing there, etc) and she just totally got it... making it EVEN BETTER THAN I HAD IMAGINED it myself. Its such an amazing piece of art, Ive decided to have it framed. And it wasnt just my opinion... even the professionals i had hired for our wedding (photographer, videographer... Best Of Winners in their respective wedding field, who have seen their share of wedding dresses), SAID it was the most amazing, unique dress they have ever seen. They were all asking me who made it and where they can refer their clients to. ITS THAT STUNNING! Joy will take your vision and create a one of a kind dress that no one will forget. She made me feel like a fairy princess and I cant thank her enough for making my dress experience nothing short of magical. She is wonderful to work with and extremely talented. GREAT JOB, JOY!!!
