I LOVE BRIDEOLOGY!!!! I generally don't like trying on clothes so I was very much dreading going…read morewedding dress shopping. This was surprisingly such a wonderful experience. If you need a dress go here first!!! We met the owner and I shared with her what I was hoping for in a dress while perusing the racks with her. She disappeared to the back for a split second to grab a dress and BOY DID SHE DELIVER. She took exactly what I described and manifested it into the perfect dress. Needless to say I said yes to the dress within an hour and had so much fun along the way!! The price for quality is insane and I brought my dress home same day. Also shoutout to my girl Susie for buttoning all those buttons and making me feel like an absolute queen. You are the real MVP.

Liz, my dress consultant, did a wonderful job pulling dresses for me and could not have asked for a better experience! She pulled things that I would not have even considered before walking into the store. I walked out with "the one" and said YES to the dress. Their $499 dress sale was too good to pass up!

BOOK THE APPOINTMENT!!!…read more This was the second shop I went wedding dress shopping at and I wish I made it my first one!! This experience was incredible and I cannot recommend this store enough. I worked with Mallory and even got to meet the owner, Maya. The service I received with Mallory (Mal) felt like a night and day difference when compared to the precious shop I went too. Mal listened to my concerns, my needs, and adjusted to find better selections when I wasn't even sure of what I wanted! I was torn between 2 dresses for different reasons. When I showed my concerns, Mal was able to talk me through my choices and helped me decide. Photo included is the dress I did not pick but hope someone else does!!! BOOK THE APPT, you WILL NOT REGRET IT!

I found out about Genevieve's through a referral from someone else who bought their dress at…read moreGenevieve's. My trip to Genevieve's was my first experience trying on dresses and I didn't appreciate just how good their service was at the time! Monika was very kind, thorough, discreet and knowledgeable. She helped me find the style that I was ultimately looking for (I had no idea what I was doing) and her selections were spot on. I chose to shop around for a few more weeks but eventually called back to order my dress! If you are early or late in your dress shopping - go to Genevieve's. They had a large selection of dresses that all felt like such great quality and the service was helpful without being obtrusive. Compared to other stores Genevieve's felt calmer and more professional. They set a very high standard that I couldn't find elsewhere. Their selection of dresses felt well maintained (some other dress shops had dresses that really needed to be retired) and classy (no buttons popping off and the dresses I tried on were are in the same size, 14, so I felt like I had a safe comparison across dresses). All of the dresses I tried on had corseting or boning to give the dress support without relying on shapewear. The price range quoted for the store was $2k-$7k but the dresses I selected were actually below $2k.

If I could give Volle's 10 stars, I would. Our experience here was nothing short of incredible--far…read morebetter than we could have ever imagined. The owner, Susanne, is an absolute gem! We had an appointment scheduled in 2 weeks and my sister was considering saying "yes to the dress" elsewhere. Based on the dresses I saw on the Volle's website, I knew my sister HAD to go there before making her decision. I called to see if there was any way we could get squeezed in today and lucky for me, Susanne, answered the phone. She was extremely pleasant, asked all the right questions and went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule. From the moment we arrived (20 minutes later), everything was seamless.     Susanne was warm, attentive, knowledgeable and as good as they get! Her expertise showed through as she effortlessly pulled gorgeous gowns that fit my sister's style and her budget. After trying on a few, she looked at my sister's body type and asked if she could pull a different style dress to test her hypothesis. Before the dress was even fully zipped, we were all in TEARS. It was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! It was THE DRESS and because of her, my sister walked out with the wedding dress of her dreams. The service was top-tier and Susanne's presence and professionalism were unmatched. They truly don't get any nicer than her! She made one of the most special days of my sister's life one she (and I) will never forget! So, if you're looking for your dream dress and an unforgettable, stress-free experience, this is the place. Thank you, Susanne & Volle's Bridal!

Very surprised by the high pressured sales tactics. Our representative went as far as insulting a…read morecompetitor and saying that she's heard that they are *itches to work with and don't deliver on what they promise. So unprofessional. Also, you do not have the ability to browse through any dresses. They bring you what they want you to try on, which does not allow you to see different styles and options. Finally, the place is dirty and not setup as a high end bridal shop. The decision not to work with this company was based on all of these issues, but particularly the way they spoke of their competition. We are simply not comfortable working with such an unprofessional organization.

These people have integrity and want the best for their brides!! I was going to come here for my wedding dress until Governor Pritzker put a mandatory quarantine on Chicagoans when traveling from Wisconsin. When All About The Gown saw that I had already gotten a dress at a different Illinois bridal boutique on my Instagram (my wedding is only 8 months away, so it was definitely time) they commented with only kind words for me. This was so kinda and really spoke volumes on their character. If you want to be around kind women while choosing your gorgeous wedding dress, this is the place for you!! They are class acts, and I have seen their selection of wedding dresses on their Instagram, and they are gorgeous!! Also, it is a mother daughter team which I always love to see!!

I would give them zero stars if I could. I had a very disappointing experience at this bridal shop…read more From the moment I arrived, the staff was extremely rude. One of the higher-up employees was speaking very disrespectfully to the seamstress right in front of customers, which was really uncomfortable to witness. I arrived for my scheduled 11:00 appointment to simply pick up the dress--nothing needed to be done--but I was told I would have to come back at 5:00 to get it. They also never called me when the dress came in. Earlier in the process, they told me I needed to find my own seamstress for alterations, so I arranged that on my own. Then, because they didn't have my dress in on time, they suddenly told me they could "fit me in" with their seamstress instead. The whole situation felt very disorganized and frustrating. Overall, the customer service was poor and the experience was far more stressful than it should have been for something as important as a wedding dress. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place.

DO NOT go to Debra for your alterations. Even if she was recommended by your bridal boutique. The…read morework she did on my wedding gown was just awful. I had and am still having an awful experience with Debra. From the beginning she was hard to communicate with. At first, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt because she had mentioned that she would be having some surgeries and would be trying to get the alterations done before then. But I regret giving her my dress at all. She never knew who I was or what she was altering for me whenever I spoke with her regarding my dress. This was a big red flag but she already had my dress. She was very forceful/rude when it came to payments being in cash only and constantly reminded me of this fact. The alterations she was going to do were adding a bustle, shortening the straps, replacing the zipper, fixing the snags on the lace, and adding cups. The buttons and hooks she added for the bustle are sloppily sewn on and make the fabric pucker and it does not lay correctly. They are also not evenly placed. There is also one hook missing. She did not shorten the straps (or she didn't shorten them enough because they still fall off my shoulders) or fix the snags. The zipper replacement was also very sloppy. You can see the zipper through my dress and it is crooked. I've spoken to another seamstress since and she confirms that the work is bad and very sloppy. As you can imagine, this was all very upsetting to me when I finally tried on my dress. Which she didn't mention that I should do before picking up the dress. My mom picked it up for me and I didn't have a final fitting. Not only was all of the sloppy work upsetting, but I also spent almost $300 on alterations that I will just have to have fixed by someone else. She also charged me for the cups to be added in but she did not finish the work. She wanted to wait to add the cups because they don't fair well in the dry cleaning process. At the time, I thought that waiting on the cups was fine because I assumed I would be going back to her to finish my alterations. I will not be returning to her for future work. I contacted Debra on more than one occasion to share my concerns and ask for a refund and her response further confirms that she does not know who I am and she does not remember my dress. She said that I had a final fitting with her and that I did not voice any of these concerns. As I stated earlier in my review, I did not have a final fitting. She never mentioned having one and rushed me to pick up the dress because she was having a surgery. Because I couldn't get there in her time frame, my mom picked up my dress for me. She did refund me the amount for the cup installation. Even if it doesn't come close to what I will have to pay to get it all fixed. I understand that she was having some surgeries but she should not have taken me on as a client if she could not deliver quality work. Debra is unprofessional and does not take the time to even try to know the client she is talking to.

It just didn't feel like an inviting environment. Also, website says "full service" bridal shop but in no way is this one. They don't help You get in the dress or give any suggestions? Couldn't find my "stylist" the whole time I was there. P you pick all the dresses yourself which I get but truly so odd. the dresses themselves feel outdated and expensive for what they are. Their overall quality doesn't feel good but you can tell it's really off the rack. Lot of rips, missing hardware, armpit stains, and makeup. I found a beautiful dress (for a better price and beans new) and had an incredible at Jenny yoo. Can't recommend other places enough
