    I got married in November 2019 and had a great experience at Vanessa's Modern Bride. I had never been dress shopping with friends and wasn't sure what to expect. Lisa and her team were so helpful - giving me lots of options in my price range and timeline (since I was getting married in exactly 6 months). I had an appointment with another dress shop afterwards but didn't need it because I found my dress on my first time looking at Vanessa's! The one I found fit so well, I ended up buying that exact dress and they gave me a discount. The decor inside is very pretty, and great pictures/viewing with friends and we even byob'd to take some of the nerves out of dress shopping. I got my alternations done there as well and everything looked great on my wedding day.

    Final Fitting at Vanessa's

    The big day has almost arrived, and I am SO pleased with my experience at Vanessa's. Three fittings later, my sample sale gown fits me absolutely perfectly, and Dorina - the seamstress - created the most amazing and unique bustle - I will for sure post some pics! Dorina is a real perfectionist and sweet as can be - I felt like my dress was in very good hands. During every visit to Vanessa's, they made me feel special and taken care of - the customer service here is something you certainly won't find at a larger shop. The flat fee of $375 for alterations (including pressing) is a real steal according to some other brides. My mother will be picking up the dress on the day before the wedding since I don't have anywhere to keep it without my fiance seeing it! I'm excited about so many aspects of the wedding, but wearing that amazing dress is right up at the top of the list! :) Ladies, Vanessa's is not to be missed in the great gown search. Unparalleled customer service and an excellent seamstress make for a flawless experience. This bride is so happy!

    I love the shape of this dress....

    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!!!

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.

I looked into Brides by Young and was encouraged by the great reviews and that they specialize in plus size bridal dresses. What I couldn't possibly imagine was how this ended up being one of the best days of this whole wedding planning experience!!! I made an appointment and the team was great at sending reminders and sending all the need to know information. I was paired with Bonnie who went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make my experience incredible. She (and many other staff members) have YEARS of experience and know how to find what you're looking for, stay in your budget, offer advice on what they think would flatter you, etc. Bonnie was incredibly patient as we tried on about 10 dresses. The entire time she was taking notes on what I liked and what I didn't and never once made me feel like I was inconveniencing her and the team. Everyone worked so hard to make me and my family feel comfortable and welcomed. Like I said, I wasn't looking forward to this experience being sensitive about my body but the women truly made me feel so confident and beautiful. Their inventory is incredible and they really have something for everyone. Sincere thank you to Bonnie and everyone I worked with to make my day so special! Highly, highly recommend. My only silly recommendation is I wish they'd offer champagne if you choose a dress but we had enough when we got back home haha!

Thank you Bonnie and team for a wonderful dress selection process!

For weeks I called several stores, left messages and none of them would call me back. I really thought I had to cancel the show this year until Omaima came to my rescue! She not only returned my call but she also agreed to work with us to help make this show a success. We had set up a date and time for the girls to pick out a dress to wear for the show. By the time they arrived there was already an assortment of beautiful gowns ready for them to try on. Omaima and her assistant were so patient and kind. They made sure each girl chose a dress that not only made them feel confident and beautiful, but also flattering to their unique shape and height. The girls had a good time trying on dress after gorgeous dress, standing on the platform in front of the large mirrors, and admiring themselves and each other. As an added bonus Omaima even wrote descriptions of each dress for us to read during the show! The store is small but charming. The decor is warm and welcoming. I can imagine how a bride would feel being in this type of environment surrounded by their loved ones and saying "Yes to the dress." It just has that type of vibe. If you're looking for a dress for that special occasion, do not hesitate to come to Omaima Couture. You'll be glad you did!
