They have an amazing set up here-- not only does the team at Whittington Bridal work like a well oiled machine, a bride to be could really have a fun time! I came to browse a sample sale (dresses that weren't going to make it to their collection next season are sold for about half the price, sold as is / no alterations) where the entire building was bustling with tons of brides, family, and swishing dresses, but you can book a traditional appointment where one can enjoy a more relaxed and private experience. Their stock of dresses is quite large, as it took a while to just walk around all the rooms with the dresses before pulling them off the rack to look. The sample sale appointment is one hour, and I walked out with my wedding dress at the end of it! For the sample sale, we met with the bridal consultant (Victoria was amazing!) and then I received 5 clothes pins to mark which dresses I was interested while I made a walk through the dress area. She pulled those dresses, brought them to our designated fitting area (there's a sofa for family or friends to sit and watch), and helped me into the dresses. Since the sample sale didn't have my exact size, she used clips to cinch the excess fabric in the back, and that worked well to see what the dress would look like if tailored to my size. You can do as many rounds as you like as time permits. Once I chose the dress, the part that really brought it together for me was putting on a veil :) When checking out, they gave a list of recommended tailors, and luckily some of them are in the loop! The staff here were all very friendly and enthusiastic. Victoria was my amazing bridal consultant; she was friendly, encouraging, patient, and not pushy at all. She was easy to talk to and really made the experience amazing! Ashley was tagging along with Victoria and gave some helpful opinions about dress styles, and the other consultants walking by would cheer. The only thing I would dock a star for would be that I had some questions to ask Victoria after she left to meet her next appointment, and the front desk team told me she would ask Victoria to call me back. I never got a call and had to call twice to ask for her to contact me (by the time she texted me, it was several days later, and I'm pretty sure she forgot who I was / what dress details I had questions about). Overall, a happy place! They even have a metal lock you can personalize and add to their growing collection of successful dress matches + a floral backdrop to take photos. I imagine personalized appointments are a lot slower paced and relaxed. Be sure to bring your strapless bra and skin colored undies to your appointment! I'm glad I chose Whittington Bridal as the first spot to look for dresses-- it was super efficient and a lovely experience :) read more

I just got out of my dress appointment. These people, specifically the manager, are so dishonest. They had a Maggie Sotero Trunk Show and the dresses were so beautiful--I literally found my dress. They told me that the $300 off promotion for the trunk show would last through the weekend (Saturday). So of course, the manager said she could hold it for Friday for my mom to come in person to see it. Suddenly, they switched up on what they said and told me the $300 promotion is only for the first bridal appointment and they cannot hold it. I confronted the manager, and asked her why she was dishonest and inconsistent. She had no words. I took off the dress and left. I will never do business with dishonest people, and this store and their employees were definitely just that. At least I found my dress, hopefully I'll encounter a bridal shop that can order it for me. read more

I got my dress here and I couldn't recommend it more. So many dresses to choose from and they had a wide price range. The service was exceptional. My stylist was Jordan and she was phenomenal. We had a private room and all of my guests had such a great experience with Jordan. She was spectacular and was absolutely amazing in helping this process. read more

I walked in with my family no greeting no nothing just stares. We were in the store for a couple of minutes before we decided to leave due to the lack of attention. I took my business elsewhere where I was greeted and walked upon arrival! read more

Whoa! I can hardly believe how incredible these girls at Whittington are! Kind, knowledgeable, professional yet personable. Beautiful modern dresses yet plenty of traditional choices as well! Whatever you need they have it and within your budget as well. Do not hesitate to book your only appointment with them because they are all you need. Worth the travel even if you are far away! read more

This was the 2nd bridal store I went to and I was completely blown away. The dress options were unique and they had the glitz and glam that I was looking for. Since I already knew what kind of style I liked from the first shop I went to, it made it easy to narrow down the styles I liked. Victoria was super attentive to my likes/dislikes and made this process so easy! I was so happy to walk away with my dream dress. My appointment was at the end of February, my veil came in March, and my dress came in at the end of June. If you're looking for a bridal store with options for various styles, attentive staff, and a fun atmosphere, this is definitely the place to go! read more

Absolutely amazing place. Beautiful, variety of dresses to choose from. I would highly recommend Whittington Bridal.

Our experience with Whittington bridal has been exceptional. We worked with Jordan, and she and the rest of her team were extremely accommodating and took their time to work with us to find the exact dress that we loved. We are very appreciative of their team, and especially Jordan who went above and beyond. Would highly recommend this shop to any future bride. read more

Staff was super sweet and welcoming. Taela was so sweet and made sure I had exactly what I wanted.

Pretty gowns but was disappointed with the experience itself. The girl helping me didn't really help with giving options as far as adding sleeves, etc. I loved a dress there but wanted to take a day to make sure it's what I 100% wanted and it felt like that wasn't an option which made it super uncomfortable. The girl helping was kinda rude to the people i was with that left a bad taste in my mouth so i ended up going somewhere else for my dress. She also spoke poorly about people in the other area about being too loud which was kinda awkward. I spoke to a couple people that also went here and they stated they felt the same way and that's the experience many people feel. Overall would not recommend. I think there are better options in Houston and more welcoming atmosphere as well. read more

Kelli was amazing! Go ahead and say no to the 2nd place if this is your first stop. Amazing lavender mimosas, service was impeccable, they truly care. And Kelli ended up picking the wildcard dress that was the winner! I went to another place after but was shocked at how terrible the service was compared to Whittington. Go ahead and make this your first and last stop! Amazing service, and so grateful they were there to make the moment so special. Well done Whittington! read more

I had been to at least 5-6 other bridal salons in the Houston area and wasn't impressed at all, but when I came to Whittington I knew I was in the right place. I came to try on a very specific gown (Albany by Maggie Sottero) and instantly both me and my stylist knew it was the one! Everyone in the salon was so supportive, so kind, and so helpful-- they all seem to really love what they do. I came by myself, and all the staff helped me celebrate and have a special exciting moment even though I was alone. Thanks Whittington, you guys are the best! read more

I am a plus size bride and I got married October 10, 2020. They were so accommodating and made me feel so comfortable. I went back and forth on multiple dresses and my stylist was always more than willing to help me change into whatever dress. When you finally say yes, you get a champagne toast!! My sister also got her wedding dress here and my best friend. I was maid of honor in both and present for their bridal gown shopping. They also had amazing experiences!! read more

Renee was so helpful to my good friend who came in looking for her dream dress. Her customer service was superb. We appreciate the lovely experience ! read more

Nina was great and so supportive! It was my second appointment of the day, but I was really set on trying a certain designer Whittington has--even though it felt like I found the one already I tried on about 5 dresses, and they were lovely, but I just kept comparing them to the last one I tried at the previous place. Nina agreed that it sounded like I found my dress, and handled the whole situation very professionally and gracefully My only critique about the store is that I wish there had been more plus size samples available to try. It didn't make the experience bad, because they make the smaller sizes work, but there were some I couldn't even try because I couldn't get the waist over the hips All in all, a lovely shopping experience! read more

The most gorgeous dresses! Wow. Even walking past the window is hard to not get curious and see what else they have in there! We went in for my best friend's wedding dress consultation and our coordinator was SOO helpful! She was very experienced as she told us to pick out any four dresses that stand out to begin with and that would help giver her an idea of what my friend was going for and she'd know where to find similar dresses. This process definitely made the search way less overwhelming. They also had delicious small cake(?) bites with pink mimosas. When you think of the wedding dress shopping experience, you want all the support and attention you can get plus some alcohol included? Heck yeah. Whittington is known to have over a 90% success rate in brides saying yes to their dresses. I can totally see this happening as even my friend said yes after dress number 4! The only thing personally I wish would have been different, was their lack of ballgown styled dresses. But I'll worry about that when it's my turn read more

There aren't enough AMAZING things to say about Whittington! But I'll start by saying I SAID YES!! I seriously had doubts coming into my bridal appointment because I THOUGHT I had found my dress elsewhere HA! Honey, as soon as I put my dress on I was like "OH! This is it! Period!" The staff was absolutely amazing & so helpful! Although I was probably one of the last appointments of the day, I never felt rushed or anything. They took their time in calling the designer to ask about any customizations I wanted, as well as making sure I had everything I needed to accompany my dress! All in all, if I were to need a dress for anything, I'd DEFINITELY choose Whittington First!! read more

I really enjoyed my shopping experience at Whittington Bridal back in August! They were super accommodating to me and my girls from the moment we walked in the door! We were greeted with mimosas and a cute section for them to sit while I try on dresses. I felt comfortable from the moment we walked in and throughout my appointment. Although I ended up saying yes to a dress at another bridal store, I really appreciated the customer service at Whittington. I also really appreciate the excitement and positive energy on the rep who answers the calls! She got me super excited and hyped when I called prior to my appointment. Thanks for your energy! (sorry I can't remember her name) read more

Wow! What a fabulous experience I had at Whittington. Kate was my stylist and she spent so much time helping me find the most amazing dress! She is amazing at her job and knows what will look best. I didn't even get what I thought I would get but I found a PERFECT dress for my body type, personality and venue. Can't wait to go back to get my veil and more accessories! Highly recommend :) Sarah Richardson read more

If I could put 0 Stars I would. My fiancé went in few months ago with Jordan (Sales Manager) to pick her dress which was ~$3000 because she had to pay for it to be rushed in, then during the consultation/when she picked the dress they told me they will do the alterations for it when it gets there. Picked it up today and it fit her 4 sizes too big because they insisted that she needed to go up because of her hips. So now we have to go somewhere else with the $3000 dress and pay $1000+ more just to do the alterations that need to be done so it can actually fit her for out wedding day. She left the place in tears and she already has enough stress planning the wedding now she has to deal with the stress that this unreliable company not catering to their customers properly. read more

These people are greedy and only about one thing.... MONEY. I tried to cancel my dress not even 2 weeks after being in the store because my wedding was unexpectedly canceled due to a health issue in my family. The dress hadn't even been ordered from the designer yet. We offered to pay a restocking fee, but NO they still charged us the full amount and refused to cancel the order. All other venues were understanding. THEY DO NOT DESERVE YOUR BUSINESS, GO ELSEWHERE!! read more

Last week today, I said YES to the dress with Paige! She was so patient, sweet & truly made the bridal dress shopping experience so easy! I showed her my dream dress which I knew they just got in but, before I got into it she gave me other options to check out. BUT once I put THE dress on, we all collectively knew it was the one! Thank you so much to Paige & team at Whittington Bridal! read more

Everything about my experience at Whittington was amazing. I had just come from another dress shop and was feeling overwhelmed with underwhelming choices and stressed that I wouldn't find THE dress while my guests who traveled from out of state to be here. Luckily they had so many great options and I was able to find my dress which I absolutely adore. Renee was so kind and understanding. She is very talented at picking up on your non verbal cues and basing her choices off your overall body language. She made me feel so confident and so beautiful. She stayed well past closing time to allow me this memory that I will cherish forever. Thank you Renee, and the rest of the Whittington Bridal team for your hospitality. read more

I was at Whittington bridal on Thursday, September 23, 2023 for wedding dress shopping for my future daughter-in-law. My son surprised his future wife by having her mom and sisters, my sister and niece and me fly in for her birthday as well as surprise wedding dress shopping. He had made arrangements at two different bridal stores. I sure am happy that the first appointment was Whittington Bridal! I could tell by the initial confirmation emails that were sent to my son and passed along to me that there was a vast difference in professionalism and Customer Service. Whittington bridal clearly explained what the appointment experience would look like and what to expect... Including mimosas! The other bridal shop simply stated the appointment time. After beginning the appointment at Whittington's with the personal stylist, Jordan, we received a message from the other bridal shop saying they wanted to change our appointment time. After trying to reach them several times with no answer we decided to cancel that appointment. Jordan took great care and listened to what Sara, my future daughter-in-law, was expressing in her desire for a wedding dress. Jordan was attentive, kind, and caring. In the end, she found the perfect dress for Sara to say, "Yes to the dress!" It was a magical moment for everyone, especially Sara... and yes, we had mimosas, and at the end toasted with a glass of champagne! Thank you to Jordan and Whittington bridal for making that day just perfect! read more

I booked several appointments for the Saturday that I went looking for dresses. My first appointment was at Whittington Bridal, I brought my mom, aunt, mother in law, niece and my MOH! They got us all mimosas to start the morning, they gave me four clips to select my dress. I had no idea what I wanted. Kendall was amazing, she was so personally and knew exactly what I wanted with what little description I gave her. She let me try on all the dresses and could read my body language on what I was liking and what I wasn't liking. I picked my dress and it was such an exciting experience. Kendall was so kind, of warm and felt like part of my family. She was honest in her suggestions and so professional! I highly recommend Whittington Bridal, the best bridal shop in the Houston area. Will update after my wedding with photos! read more

My experience at Whittington bridal could not have been better. Everyone there is so sweet and helpful especially my consultant Charli! She listened so well to me and understood the style and fit I was for looking for. Every dress I tried on was absolutely stunning. When I picked my dress, she paired it with the perfect veil and hair piece. Charli embraced my family and we celebrated with a champagne toast. I'd recommend any bride to look at Whittington bridal for their dream dress. Thank you so much Whittington bridal! You made me even more excited for our wedding day. I also went here to pick my bridesmaid dresses and it once again was a great experience. Our consultant was Tiffany. She asked my MOH and me lots of questions about the look and feel of the wedding. She helped us pick out the most beautiful dresses for our wedding. I know each girl will look and feel great in their dress. read more

This was my 4th bridal boutique i visited to find my gown. I tried on about 3-4 dresses and then found THE ONE! Whittington was easy to work with and the pricing was on point with my budget. I spent under $2K. If you purchase your gown during your first appointment you will receive a discount! My wedding dress arrived in under 4 months and I was so happy to get the phone call when it arrived. Paige was wonderful and the experience was easy and fun! read more

I had an amazing experience here and found my dream dress within an hour! There was also a plus size bride there with an appointment at the same time as mine and we were both treated with extreme and equal kindness! I know there has been some controversy in that regard but I saw nothing but fair treatment. They have a very large selection of dresses for plus size women as well. Don't knock it until you go there! I got to bring 4 friends and we got mimosas and it was a blast. The entire experience was great!!!! read more

I highly recommend this bridal shop for ALL types of brides. I went in with little to no details of what I wanted in a dress. Chloe talked me through some options and I started by trying on 4 dresses. Once we narrowed it down to what type of dress I wanted she brought in more options. She made me feel heard. She made me feel that I was her TOP priority during my appointment. She took my likes and dislikes and found the absolute perfect dress for me!! We were offered mimosas or water upon arrival and then a champagne toast when I said Yes To The Dress!! With Chloe I felt as if I was dress shopping with one of my best friends. She was so sweet, kind and really was interested in getting to know me and what kind of bride I am. I will definitely be back in the future for accessories. read more

I highly recommend Whittington Bridal!! I did my due diligence before setting up an appointment; read many reviews, viewed pictures, called and asked all the necessary questions... and this place did not disappoint! All of the associates are extremely helpful and very nice. Kelsey is THE BEST!!! She first offered us some mimosas and asked what I was looking for. She allowed me to select a few dresses on my own... then based on my choices, she brought in a few others that she thought I may like. Kelsey made me feel very comfortable the whole time we were there. Like I was dress shopping with my best friend! AMAZING!! Not only do they have great staff and beautiful dresses, but their prices are reasonable. I ended up finding my dream dress at a great price; way below my budget!! Thanks so much, Kelsey, for making this moment a great experience!! read more

As soon as I walked in, Jordan was super friendly and welcoming! I had a fairly large group with me and she showed us around and got us familiar with the store setup so we could start tagging dresses. My consultant, Nina, was AMAZING (props for not getting overwhelmed by my crazy crew)!! So sweet and attentive and she really listened to my ideas and preferences when pulling dresses for me to try on. I ended up finding my dream dress here at Whittington, and it was one that Nina suggested for me! Not only did they have a good selection of plus size sample dresses, but EVERY employee I came in contact with did nothing but hype me up and make me feel beautiful! I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I can't wait to come back and pick up my dress! #WhittingtonBrideTribe read more

When I walked into Whittington, all of my stress immediately dissolved. They have so many beautiful dresses and are very reasonably priced. I went on a Friday and it felt like I had the entire store to myself, which made my appointment even more special and made me so much more comfortable.

I highly recommend Whittington! read more

If you want a beautiful dress and a wonderful experience, go here! It's beautiful and clean (which is surprisingly not standard with bridal shops in the Houston area).

I visited several bridal shops before i chose Whittington. The shop definitely set the bar, making guests & their guest feel welcomed. Everything moves smoothly & they even give a courtesy call if they are running behind. They truly make the bride feel beautiful in that moment of "yes to the dress". They offer a toast for that moment. The only thing i found as a "con" was they don't hold your dress. Once the dress arrive you have two weeks to pick up or they'll charge a storage fee. Other than that part, i loved all my moments at Whittington (picking my dress & accessories, along with my bridesmaids appointment). read more

I did not find my wedding dress at this store, but it had the best customer service out of all the shops I visited. Wide variety of dresses. Courteous, attentive, and very helpful sales associates. They truly did try to help me find "the dress" for me by asking many questions about what I liked/didn't like about those that I tried on, what modifications would make one I really liked be "the one," etc. Price points I noticed for dresses started at just over $1K. I would recommend giving this place a try. read more

Whittington Bridal made choosing my dream wedding dress so much fun! Jordan was the absolute best and didn't put me in any dresses that were over my budget.
